Dancing with the Stars Season 6

Dancing with the Stars Season 6 was about Kristi Yamaguchi running laps around the competition. Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor was a 6-time Pro Bowler and 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, but even Taylor wasn't able to keep up with the lithe Kristi Yamaguchi, who was paired with DWTS mainstay Mark Ballas.

ABC's lineup of judges and presents remained the same for the fifth season in a row, as Samantha Harris had a successful childbirth and was ready for duties all season. Tom Bergeron continued his strong work as the lead host, adding class and style to a show already known for such qualities. Len Goodman was in particularly good form through the early stages of Season 6, where he had seemed somewhat bored in the previous couple of iterations of Dancing with the Stars.

Dancing with the Stars Contestants - Season 6

Here's a list of season 6 contestants on Dancing with the Stars:

The list of competitors for spring 2008 seemed like a bit of a novelty act. Penn Jillette is a highly entertaining magician and talker, but his skills weren't on display on Dancing with the Stars and his act alienated voters. Adam Carolla and Steve Guttenberg were quickly eliminated, despite having as their partners Julianne Hough and Anna Trebunskaya, respectively. My sentimental favorite, Priscilla Presley, didn't last much longer.

In the end, the athletes dominated this dancing competition once again. Kristi Yamaguchi comes from a sport where grace and theatricality combine in a dazzling musical performance, so it was really no surprise that Yamaguchi dominated Dancing with the Stars Season 6.
