Dancing-with-the-Stars-Season-6

sixth season of Dancing with the Stars premiered on March 17, 2008; the first results show was a double-elimination episode airing on March 25, 2008. The show followed the format of previous seasons, with 12 couples.

On May 6, 2008 DWTS had a special two-hour edition to commemorate its 100th episode.

Kristi Yamaguchi and her partner, Mark Ballas, won the competition, making Kristi the first female winner since Kelly Monaco in season 1. Kristi & Mark combined for four of the five perfect scores given out this season; she received three of them for her three Finals dances, giving her a perfect 90 out of 90, the first-ever perfect total finals score. (The runner-up, Jason Taylor, received the fifth perfect score for his final dance.) Kristi & Mark also finished with the highest average score in DWTS history (28.3 ave. & 8 out of 10 weeks on top of the leaderboard, a record); their lowest score on any dance was a 26.
