DWTS 14 champion Donald Driver shows: DWTS fans love football players
Los Angeles may have a high-level basketball team, but it doesn’t have a football team. What are we missing? A field of possible “Dancing with the Stars” contestants because America has spoken: “Dancing with the Stars” fans love football players. Last night on “Dancing with the Stars,” Green Bay Packer Donald Driver became the third football player to win the mirrorball trophy.
- Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd
- Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas
- William Levy and Cheryl Burke
His partner Peta Murgatroyd was only on her second season of DWTS. Last season, Murgatroyd was paired with another athlete: Laker small forward Ron Artest who has just adopted the name Metta World Peace. Artest and Murgatroyd danced the cha cha cha to “Krazy” by Pitbull featuring Lil Jon
to a lackluster score of 14 (5, 4, 5). They were the low score for that week and the first team to leave.
Consider that during season 9, retired NFL star Michael Irvin received a 13 for his first dance and survived to be the eighth contestant out of 16 eliminated. Irvin played for the Dallas Cowboys (3 times Super Bowl champion) and in 2007 was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He played at the University of Miami for college and had worked as a broadcaster for ESPN.
Driver joins other sports figures who have won the mirrorball trophy, including Olympic gold medal figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi (6), Olympic gold medal gymnast Shawn Johnson (8), Olympic old medal speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno (4), racer Helio Castroneves (5) and football players Emmitt Smith (3) and Hines Ward (12). Driver makes seven athletes and three football players who have won the mirrorball trophy.
Driver, like Hines Ward at the time, is not retired. He was the seventh round pick for the Green Bay Packers in the 1999 NFL Draft. He’s been with the Packers ever since. In 2002, he was their MVP. He was an All-Pro selection in 2006; he’s a three time Pro Bowl selection for 2002, 2006 and 2007. Last year, he was with the Packers when they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25, at Super Bowl XLV.
If DWTS fans love football players, they don’t particularly warm to non-Americans competing on DWTS. After tall, the show has incarnations in many European countries and Helio Castroneves is the only foreigner who has won the mirrorball trophy and he beat another non-American: Brit Mel B. Second place finisher for this season, Katherine Jenkins is also from Great Britain. Either one could have competed on the U.K. version of the show, “Strictly Come Dancing.”
French man Gilles Marini placed second behind American Johnson during season 8. Other foreign nationals who have made the finals were: Brit Kelly Osbourne (season 9) and Chilean Cristian de la Fuentes (season 6). Both finished third just as William Levy did last night.
Yet from the audience reaction, Levy could be a real winner and become a cross over star. Perhaps we’ll see him soon guest starring in TV series in English as that super sexy Latin lover. Heck, what about a Latin James Bond?
Until the freestyle, Driver wasn’t the high score in any of the dances and even then he wasn’t alone. He shared the top cha cha cha score of 30 with William Levy. Levy was the top score for the foxtrot (30), samba (30), rumba (27 with Maria Menounos and Katherine Jenkins), salsa (30) and tango (28). Jenkins and Driver shared the top score for freestyle (30), but Levy earned a 29. Semifinalist Maria Menounos shared the stop score for the paso doble with Jenkins, but was the top score for the Viennese waltz (28) and Argentine tango (30).
Jenkins was also the top scrore for the quickstep (30), jive (30) and waltz (29). Just by performance scores and season average, Jenkins and her partner Mark Ballas should have won, but Jenkins, more than Driver, has built bright future for herself. Broadway and West End musical producers are surely now considering her for a role in some bright and cheery musical. Think “Guys and Dolls,” “Oklahoma!” or something that another DWTS finalist has starred in “The Sound of Music” (Marie Osmond pre-DWTS).
Last night on DWTS, besides reviewing the 10 weeks for high-level performances including live performances by Maria Menounos and Derek Hough of their perfect-score earning Argentine tango, fan favorite Sherri Shepard and Jaleel White in separate new dance numbers, the three remaining couples were required to perform the 24-hour dance challenge. White performed a paso doble to the theme for “Shaft.” Shepard dance to “It’s Raining Men.”
Gladys Knight returned to sing “The Way We Were.” Kelly Clarkson appeared and sang “Dark Side” and “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” as Kym Johnson, Tony Dovolani, Anna Trebunskaya and Tristan MacManus danced.
When the finalists performed the 24-hour challenge dances they all received perfect scores, leaving the leader board positions the same: Jenkins and Ballas only one point ahead of the tied Levy and Burke and Driver and Murgatroyd. Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd danced the cha cha cha (30) to “Beggin’” by Madcon. Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas performed a fun jive (30) to “Splish Splash” by Bobby Darin. William Levy and Cheryl Burke sizzled in their salsa (30) to “Juventud de Presente” by Tito Puente.
So in the end, for season 14, it was up to the audience members who voted and they picked Driver and Murgatroyd. Expect football players to continue to be featured DWTS celebrities, proving that real men do dance and America loves them when they do.
This fall, “Dancing with the Stars” fans will see many familiar faces as season 15 will be the first ever all-stars version. Surely the producers of DWTS will bring back a football player to keep DWTS fans happy–perhaps Emmitt Smith who has remained involved in DWTS as a humorous commentator, but who else? Who are you hoping will make the cut?

DWTS 14: Crowns a gentleman champion
On the “Dancing with the Stars” finale for season 14, the three remaining couples performed a 24-hour challenge–learning a new dance routine in a day, but each couple received a perfect score. That means it wasn’t the judges but the audience who decided the champions.
Green Bay Packer Donald Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd won the mirrorball trophy. This might not mean as much as a Super Bowl championship ring, but Driver has shown he has charisma off the football field and on the dance floor.
- Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd
- Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas
- William Levy and Cheryl Burke
Driver joins other sports figures who have won the mirrorball trophy, including Olympic gold medal figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi (6), Olympic gold medal gymnast Shawn Johnson (8), Olympic old medal speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno (4), racer Helio Castroneves (5) and football players Emmitt Smith (3) and Hines Ward (12). Driver makes seven athletes and three football players who have won the mirrorball trophy.
French man Gilles Marini placed second behind American Johnson during season 8. Other foreign nationals who have made the finals were: Brit Kelly Osbourne (season 9) and Chilean Cristian de la Fuentes (season 6). Both finished third just as William Levy did tonight.
Yet from the audience reaction, Levy could be a real winner and become a cross over star. Perhaps we’ll see him soon guest starring in TV series in English as that super sexy Latin lover. Heck, what about a Latin James Bond?
Besides reviewing the 10 weeks for high-level performances, the three remaining couples were required to perform the 24-hour dance challenge. The three dances did not separate the competitors as they all received perfect score.
Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd: cha cha cha (30) to “Beggin’” by Madcon.
Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas: jive (30) to “Splish Splash” by Bobby Darin.
William Levy and Cheryl Burke: salsa (30) to “Juventud de Presente” by Tito Puente.
Besides the three dance performances by the final three couples, Gladys Knight returned to sing “The Way We Were.” Pasadena-born Jaleel White also returned to perform a paso doble to the theme of “Shaft.”
Kelly Clarkson appeared and sang “Dark Side” and “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” as Kym Johnson, Tony Dovolani, Anna Trebunskaya and Tristan MacManus danced.
This fall, “Dancing with the Stars” fans will see many familiar faces as season 15 will be the first ever all-stars version. Who are you hoping will make the cut?
DWTS 14 Week 10 finale : Vote now
On “Dancing with the Stars” season 14 tonight (21 May 2012), the three final couples are so closely matched it won’t be the judges who decide the winning couple. The audience will have to determine who wins as only one point separates the first-placed Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins and her partner Mark Ballas from the two teams tied for second place: telenovela star William Levy and his partner Cheryl Burke and football star Donald Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd. The judges awarded 15 tens in all.
In a night that had a decidedly Latin flavor, the judge who cast the deciding vote was head judge Len Goodman. He gave Levy and Burke a nine for their freestyle to “Objection (Tango)” by Shakira and Driver and Murgatroyd a nine for their Argentine tango to “They” by Jem.
Jenkins and Ballas had a perfect score of 60 out of 60. They performed paso doble to “España Cañí” by Erich Kunzel. This team had previously performed the paso doble during Week 4, Rock Week, to “Time Is Running Out” by Muse. They earned a 24 (8, 8, 8).
For their freestyle, Jenkins and Ballas went light and breezy, performing to “Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)” by Andrews Sisters.
Levy and Burke previously performed the cha cha cha during Week 1 to “International Love” by Pitbull feat. Chris Brown. Although Levy was at a disadvantage having less practice time than the other celebrities, he pulled through to earn a decent score of 24 ( 8, 8, 8). Levy and Burke heated up the dance floor this week by performing their cha cha cha to Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” for a perfect score of 30.
Burke capitalized on Levy’s sex appeal by choreographing a freestyle routine to “Objection (Tango)” and left the audience screaming.
Driver and Murgatroyd had previously performed an Argentine tango during Week 5, Latin Week to “Sin Rumbo” by Otros Aires. That routine left the judges divided with Carrie Ann Inaba giving the couple a 10, but Goodman only begrudging them an 8. Tonioli gave the pair a nine for a total of 27. This time, there wasn’t any argument. Their routine was rewarded this week with a 29 (10, 9, 10). For their freestyle, Murgatroyd took them to a different musical genre: country rap. Did you know there was a thing such as country rap?!
Cowboy Troy, aka Troy Lee Coleman III, is a 41-year-old Texas-born rapper with a bachelor degree from the University of Texas at Austin. His “I Play Chicken with the Train” reached 48 on the U.S. Country charts in 2005, but for Driver and Murgatroyd, the song was pure gold. They earned a perfect score of 30 for their freestyle routine.
Driver may play for the Green Bay Packers who are based in Wisconsin, but the 37-year-old Driver was originally born in Texas.
During the live shows, the judges will give each couple a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges’ scores alone do not decide a couple’s fate.

DWTS 14 Finals: Can Katherine Jenkins win?
Last night, 15 May 2012, Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins and her professional dance partner learned early on that they had survived the cut and were moving on to the finals. That’s despite posting the lowest combined score for two dances on Monday night. TV hostess Maria Menounos and her partner Derek Hough were eliminated instead, leaving two hunks in the finals: telenovela actor William Levy and NFL wide receiver Donald Driver.
Maria Menounos would have been a long shot because only one winner has been a TV hostess (Brooke Burke).
- William Levy and Cheryl Burke: 28 (9, 9, 10) + 30 (10,10,10) = 58/60
- Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd: 28 (9, 9, 10) +29 (10,9,10) = 57/60
- Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas: 29 (10,9,10) + 27 (9,9,9) = 56/60
Jenkins suffered from a back muscle spasm and that may be critical to her performance in the finals. Ballas will have to choreograph in a way that will not cause further pain or damage, but Ballas can be unpredictable. It wasn’t so long ago that Disney star Chelsea Kane had to have a heart-to-heart with Ballas about his artistic risks during season 12. Kane and Ballas finished third behind the winer Hines Ward and Kym Johnson and the runner-up Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
The belly dance-themed salsa routine on Monday night was risky, but did include salsa moves, however, it was that unsupported back bend that caused Jenkins to break out in tears, unable to complete the move. Ballas making a butterfly over Jenkins didn’t add to Jenkins’ difficulty level and at that stage in the performance was a high risk as her back was unsupported. Further, earlier Ballas and Jenkins had performed on their knees and Jenkins obviously wasn’t wearing knee pads–another risky decision.
Of course, Ballas isn’t the only professional dancer who takes risks in choreography. Burke and Levy’s rumba during week 6 (Motown Week) was deemed too steamy by head judge Len Goodman. He gave the team an 8 compared to the 9 from judge Carrie Ann Inaba and the 10 from judge Bruno Tonioli.
Derek Hough’s Bollywood-inspired samba had too little samba for Goodman and the team got marked down to a 7 compared to the nines the other judges awarded. Peta Murgatroyd was more successful with her R&B inspired samba for Donald Driver this last week. That allowed Driver to samba without being compared to the kind of hip movement we already know Levy has.
Yet Hough, Burke and Murgatroyd’s risk taking weren’t physical, but thematic.
Driver has stage presence, but he doesn’t emote or smolder as much as Levy. Driver also doesn’t have that sensuous and fluid hip action that Levy does. Both men suffer from a tendency to be flat-footed (not extending their feet and ankles) and sickle footed. Jenkins almost always has turn out, beautiful lines and extension in both her hands and feet. Driver and Levy don’t always reach full extension as consistently as Jenkins. Jenkins, however, has problems projecting anger or a commanding, dominating presence as is required for the paso doble. Both of the men are capable of that as well as the lighter mood that Jenkins is best at projecting.
Katherine Jenkins holds the high score for the cha cha cha (29), quickstep (29) and waltz (29). She’s tied with Maria Menounos and Levy for the high score in the rumba (27). Menounos has the high score for jive (29), paso doble (30), Viennese waltz (28) and Argentine tango (30). Levy has the high score for the foxtrot (30), samba (30), salsa (28) and tango (28). Driver doesn’t hold the high score for any of the dances.
DWTS 14 Finals: Two guys and one gal survive
Last night (15 May 2012) on “Dancing with the Stars,” the threesome who moved on to the season 14 finals was announced. It was no surprise that super sexy William Levy and his partner Cheryl Burke moved forward, but Levy was joined by the other hunk football player Donald Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd and one woman celebrity.
Despite her back injury and posting the lowest combined score on Monday night, Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins survived, ousting TV hostess Maria Menounos. Menounos and her partner Derek Hough has posted the highest combined score on Monday night, including one perfect score for their Argentine tango.
Maria Menounos and Hough were the highest scoring team for jive (29), rumba (tied with William Levy and Katherine Jenkins with 27), paso doble (30), Viennese waltz (28) and Argentine tango (30).
Still Menounos had injuries: two broken ribs and stress fractures in both feet.

DWTS 14 Week 9: William Levy in second place
Goodman also gave one ten to the second-placed couple, Levy and Burke. He awarded them a nine for their tango to “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by The Eurythmics and a 10 for their samba to “Magalenha” by Sergio Mendes. But Carrie Ann Inaba gave Levy and Burke a nine and that scored landed them in second place.
For the tango, Levy and Burke were decked out in black, and very serious. Levy has the look, but he doesn’t fully extend his foot and ankle. That means he doesn’t have a definite heel or toe lead. A bit more turn out would also improve the look of his walk.
As Levy and Burke were the first dance of the night, head judge Len Goodman exclaimed he’d “not been as excited as when my mother put me in long trousers” because of the high level of this competition. Of Levy and Burke, he commented, it was”overall terrific,” but he would have like better position in hold and crisper movement. He noted that Levy was a bit flat-footed as well.
As expected, Bruno Tonioli was more effusive and said Levy’s performance was powerful and firm with convincing animal magnetism. Tonioli labeled Levy “the dictator of the tango.”
Carrie Ann Inaba reminded us that Levy was so much more than a pretty face and thought his lines were gorgeous but his chainé turns were a bit out of control.
Levy tapped into his Latino machismo for the samba and let loose some serious bum shaking with his fun and sexy samba.
Tonioli said he caught the feeling of sexy Brazil and he had “bum envy.”
Carrie Ann Inaba said his bounce was more like a thrust which took the samba to a whole new level.
Head judge Len Goodman confessed, “I’ve never looked at a man’s bum for so long in my life” and dubbed Levy “a hunk with the junk in his trunk.”
Did you catch the set mistake? The setting is supposed to be Brazil, but the background features the silhouette of an elephant and a lion. These animal aren’t native to the Brazilian rain forest. We give the set designers an A for effort, but an F in geography.
