The competition was fierce on season 14 of “Dancing With The Stars” but Green Bay Packers football player Donald Driver and his professional dance partner Peta Murgatroyd have emerged victorious. We’ve live recapped the performance episode from last night, as well as tonight’s elimination here.

On last night’s episode, they took on their Argentine Tango for the judge’s choice with Carrie Ann Inaba as their mentor. Carrie Ann commented that she loved it the first time and she loved it again. Len called the dance a vast improvement over their first performance of the same dance. Bruno called it “strong storytelling.” For their efforts, they received a total of 29 points out of 30.

They ended round two on a strong note for their Freestyle dance. Carrie Ann was left dancing on the judges’ table. Len said that “in football, catches win matches and here, chances win dances.” Bruno called it a “country-inspired triumph”. For their efforts, they received a perfect score.

On tonight’s show, they performed an encore performance of their Freestyle dance from last night. It was still a really cute dance. Donald was really working it once more.

Later in the show, they performed a Cha Cha Cha for the judge’s votes. He danced shirtless and really strutted his stuff, much to the delight of the audience. Carrie Ann said he is a fierce competitor and he has a love for the show. He’s determined to win. Len said his feeling is that no one is a loser tonight and all three of them are absolute winners tonight. He’s the best footballer they’ve had. Bruno said it was another massive hit for “Donald the magnificent”. He’s improved week after week. The judges gave them a total of 30 points.

After the viewer’s votes were tallied with the judges’ scores, Tom Bergeron announced that Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd have won this season of the show. Prior to that, Tom announced that William and Cheryl have landed in third place, with Katherine and Mark in second place.

The season finale of “Dancing With The Stars” is tonight, and we’re all so excited to see Whitney Houston perform tonight. So far, the highlight of the show happened when they cut to Miss Piggy during the recap. At least Tom Burgeron knows how to recover!

Whitney Houston killed it! She brought the house down when she did “Million Dollar Bill”! You go girl!

The contestants will get another chance for some points from the judges in a final dance. Kelly and Louis are dancing the Viennese Waltz for their final dance and it’s just lovely. Good job Kelly! The judges raved about her performance and the crowd started chanting her name. Be proud, Kelly.

Mya and Dmitry did the Jive for their final dance and rocked it. Bruno said she never skipped a beat, and he’s right.

Donny and Kym are doing the Argentine Tango next, and they’re hooking it up! What a great dance and Marie looks so proud!

Scoring:

Kelly and Louie – 26
Mya and Dmitry – 28
Donny and Kym – 30

Finding themselves in third place are Kelly and Louis. Surprise. Even she didn’t think she was going to win it all. She was gracious, too. Good for her!

In second place, are Mya and Dmitry, leaving the winner’s spot to Donny and Kym! Congrats to them!
