So, who exactly showed up for the shiny shindig? There were too many familiar faces to list (50 to be exact), but the most exciting stand-outs included alumni Jane Seymour, Lance Bass, Kelly Osbourne, Gilles Marini, Drew Lachey, ‘Bachelor’ Jake Pavelka and, of course, Donny Osmond (who will show up anywhere).
Kicking off this crazily over-produced but oh-so-joyous party was a group dance populated by the pros and to the first song from the first episode of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love.” The silver sparkly steamers at the end were a nice touch.
Streamers and brouhaha aside, the crux of the show is the competition between the six remaining contestants and oh, what a competition it was. Each of the six couples served up an iconic dance performed by one of the past contestants on hand (Helio Castroneves, Mel B, Emmitt Smith, Osbourne, Lachey and Marini), with that alumnus acting as a fourth judge.
The remaining contenders also divided up into two teams – Team Apolo Anton Ono (featuring Jennifer/Derek, Brandy/Maksim and Kurt/Anna) and Team Kristi Yamaguchi (Kyle/Lacey, Rick/Cheryl and Bristol/Mark) – to compete against each other.
Here’s how it all went down…
