Hines Ward, Chelsea Kane and Kirstie Alley, together with their partners, each gave the Monday performance round of Dancing With The Stars their all. But only one of them could win, and ABC revealed which one would take the mirror ball home on Tuesday night…

Hines Ward! The Pittsburgh Steeler emerged as an early front-runner and never quite danced off stage. He and Kym Johnson won a well-earned victory at the end of the night.

Ward, ever the gentleman, humbly praised his partner for their success. “I owe it all to Kym,” he said. “She’s an amazing teacher.”

Kirstie Alley, partnered by Maksim Chmerkovskiy, earned a second-place win to leave Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas in third place. Re-cap the entire season with all our Dancing With the Stars 12 posts.
