After several season’s of the men taking the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ title, can a woman pull out a win? With more then 2000 combined hours of pactice, 2182 combined judges points and 3 trips to the emergency room the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ finale is here and Kristi Yamaguchi is the one to beat.
Tonight’s (May 19) show has the final three teams dancing a cha cha face-off and a freestyle number. So, who will win? The odds on favorite according to bodoglife.com, is Yamaguchi - the long shot, at 20/1, is Cristián de la Fuente.
