There were no surprises in this slow crawl to the finish for Dancing with the Stars.

Last night a new winner for "Dancing with the Stars" was crowned and for the first time since the first season it was a woman! Kristi Yamaguchi waltzed away with the trophy and though she deserved it, it made for a predictable finish.

ABC devoted their entire night to "Dancing With the Stars" beginning with a repeat of Monday night's final three episode then rolling into a slow-moving two hour finale. Maybe it's me, but I used to enjoy this show much more than I did last night. Then again, maybe it's because Cristian was kicked out early in the program. Working with one arm, he just couldn't compete with the athletic free style dances of Kristi and Jason.
