Perfect scores for 'Dancing' finalists
英语课
Judges' scores are combined with viewer votes to determine the winner.
Ward and Kane came into the season finale tied with 59 points out of 60. Alley 1 had 54 points.
Wendy Williams, Kendra Wilkinson, Sugar Ray Leonard and the rest of the celebrity 2 contestants 4 eliminated from the hit ABC show earlier in the season brought their sometimes stunning 5, sometimes wacky moves back to the ballroom 6 (舞厅)for the season finale.
The show opened with an all-cast routine and the Black Eyed Peas singing their new single, "Don't Stop the Party," to an energized 7 audience.
Tuesday's episode was punctuated 8 with musical performances. Besides the Peas, the Go-Go's played their classic "We Got the Beat" for a frenzied 9 dance routine, and Josh Groban sang "You Raise Me Up" while Petra Nemcova danced. Sara Evans was also to perform.
Famed sports announcer Michael Buffer 10 called Leonard and pro 11 wrestler 12 Chris Jericho to the dance floor for a tough-guy dance-off. Wilkinson reprised her sexy, booty-and-bosom-shaking cha-cha, then nearly fell off the judges' table when she finished. Radio personality Mike Catherwood, who was the first contestant 3 dismissed this season, poked 13 fun at his lack of dancing skills and stripped down to a leotard during his goofy routine.
Williams didn't take to the dance floor, instead interviewing herself during a segment where she said Alley would "be a perfect drinking partner."(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
