Kristi Yamaguchi

We’ve barely begun the fourth week of Dancing with the Stars Season 8, but Season 6 champ Kristi Yamaguchi has already picked her frontrunners, especially in light of all the Dancing injuries.

“The injuries aren’t surprising,” Yamaguchi said. “People don’t know how physical it gets. I think that’s one reason why athletes do well — they know how to listen to their bodies.”

Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas and former American Idol contestant, who got booted for being too pro, Joanna Pacitti are a couple.
The pair, who have been friends for years, began dating eight months ago when Ballas was training with Season Six champ Kristi Yamaguchi in North Carolina, where Pacitti was living at the time.

Mark Ballas has pulled a muscle.

And it wasn’t in his face.

Dancing with the Stars pro Ballas, who has the most severe case of “Dancer Face” we’ve ever witnessed, has suffered a groin injury and will have to take a couple of weeks off the DWTS Tour to heal he announced to the crowd on Saturday night at the tour’s stop at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

For the first time in Dancing with the Stars history, a woman has won the famed mirrored disco ball trophy.

Olympic ice princess Kristi Yamaguchi, 36, and her partner Mark Ballas were crowned the winners of this season’s DWTS, beating out Edyta Sliwinska and super smokeshow, Miami Dolphins football star, Jason Taylor.

Could that man be any more stunning? No!
