The 2011 Dancing With The Stars winner will be announced on Tuesday night's 9 pm ET episode on ABC, with either Georgia Bulldogs hero (running out of synonyms for "great!") Hines Ward or actress Chelsea Kane almost assured of victory. Actress Kirstie Alley is also in the running, but entered the night as the longshot and finished with the lowest score, according to the judges.
Here's a video of Kane and Mark Ballas performing a samba, along with video of their freestyle that earned a perfect score. Videos of Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy doing a samba and a freestyle of their own, both of which earned 27s from the judges.
Here's the first performance by Ward and Kym Johnson, a quickstep that fell a point shy of meriting a perfect score:
And here's Ward's final performance, a football-themed number that included a drumline playing the Jackson 5 -- even if Ward weren't raised in the A, a UGA legend and a current resident, this would be all we'd need to know for rooting interests to be established.
