ASSI- From the start of Dancing with the Stars Kristi Yamaguchi was slated to win the Disco Ball Trophy. The former Olympic winning Ice Skater who was born with a club foot and her partner Mark Ballas danced their way back into the hearts of Americans. Yamaguchi is accustomed to performing in front of an live audience, her fans had another opportunity to marvel at her amazing foot work, admire her wardrobe choices that were reminiscent of the costumes she wore during her Olympic days, and performing dance and skating routines on ice skates was surely more difficult, which I believe gave her an advantage. However, she claims dancing without the skates was more difficult than doing a triple-sau-cow. Kristie is the second woman to win the Trophy since Kelly Monaco won series one. The other contestants Penn Jillette, Monica Seles, Steve Guttenberg, Adam Carolla Priscilla Presley, Marlee Matlin, Shannon Elizabeth, Mario, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and Cristian de la Fuente was without a chance, except for runner up Jason Taylor who plays football for the Miami Dolphins. Hopefully next season will have dancers without any formal training like Emitt Smith who won last season.
