DANCING WITH THE STARS: ALL-STARS \u2013 \u201cEpisode 1510\u201d \u2013 In the final one-hour performance show on Monday, each of the couples competed in a Super-Sized Freestyle during which they were allowed to add extra performers, incorporating all kinds of lifts and tricks to create an out-of-this-world entertaining routine, on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26 (8:00-9:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

I\u2019m writing just after the finale of Dancing with the Stars All Stars!<\/p>\n

\n

The last three couples all delivered amazing final performances. \u00a0They were:<\/p>\n

Kelly Monaco<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Val Chmerkovskiy\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shawn Johnson <\/strong>and Derek Hough<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melissa Rycroft\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Tony Dovolani\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was fun to be back with all of my DWTS friends, and even more exciting to be there in the studio when Melissa won the mirror ball trophy! \u00a0Everyone was thrilled that she\u2019d won, and the atmosphere was just electric as the confetti rained down.<\/p>\n

Melissa was not only a fun person to work with, she was kind to everyone, eager to learn new moves, and improved so much over the seasons.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Kelly, Shawn, and especially Melissa for your success this season! \u00a0All of you were delightful to watch!<\/p>\n
