Dancing With the Stars Season 12 Episode 12 airs on Monday, 02 May 2011 at 8:00pm EDT on WABC (ABC) TV channel.
Dancing with the Stars is a reality show airing on ABC in the United States, and CTV in Canada. The show is the American version of the British BBC television series Strictly Come Dancing. Tom Bergeron is the host. His co-hosts have changed several times over the seasons. In the first season, the co-host was Lisa Canning. E! reporter Samantha Harris co-hosted from seasons two through nine. In 2010 model and Season 7 champion, Brooke Burke, took over as co-host.
The contestant pairs consist of a celebrity paired with a professional dancer. Past celebrity contestants include a race-car driver, Olympians, football players, supermodels, actors, singers, an astronaut, and teen-heartthrobs. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for judges' points and audience votes. Whichever couple receives the lowest combined total of judges points and audience votes is eliminated until the champion dance pair remains.
A figure skating spin-off called Skating with the Stars aired on ABC on November 22, 2010 but was cancelled after one season.
