But Playboy model Holly Madison and "Bachelor" winner Melissa Rycroft (who was dumped after the show ended) stepped in and competed in their places. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak received the second-lowest score in show history for his samba with Karina Smirnoff, and real-life couple Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough competed (and were eliminated) together. "Sex and the City" actor Gilles Marini was a front-runner and scored high throughout the competition, but eventually he and Cheryl Burke came in second to Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson and partner Mark Ballas, who took home this season's mirrorball trophy.

It was also a season riddled with injuries - Olympic volleyball player Misty May-Treanor had to withdraw after tearing her Achilles tendon during practice, soap star Susan Lucci fractured two bones in her foot, dancer Julianne Hough was diagnosed with endometriosis and missed weeks 7-8 and model and TV personality Brooke Burke injured her foot during rehearsals. Despite the injury, Burke and partner Derek Hough scored high throughout the competition and went on to become champions. Photos: Season 7 of "Dancing with the Stars" |

She also received four out of the five perfect scores given out all season (the other perfect 30 went to Jason Taylor and Edyta ?liwi?ska), and got three of them for her final dances, giving her a perfect score of 90.

Marie Osmond lost her father and Jane Seymour lost her mother during the course of the show, but both remained in the competition. Osmond also fainted during the judges' critique of her samba in week 5, but stayed to receive her score (she got a 21). The elimination of Cheetah Girls singer Sabrina Bryan and partner Mark Ballas during week 6 shocked both the judges and fellow contestants, and TV Guide named it the most shocking television event of 2007. Racing champion Hélio Castroneves took the title home that season, and former Spice Girl Mel B came in second, making her the first female runner-up in the show's history.

Jerry Springer's popularity took him further than his dancing talent should have, but ultimately it was "Saved By The Bell" alum Mario Lopez and NFL running back Emmitt Smith who made it to the final two, and each couple scored an 89 during the season finale. However, Smith finished the season with the trophy and Lopez ended up taking second place. Photos: Season 3 of "Dancing with the Stars" |

Jerry Rice's popularity with fans carried him throughout the competition even though the judges were critical of his performances. Many thought that Lisa Rinna should have advanced to the finals instead of Rice, but the retired NFL player eventually made it into second place. Keibler came in third, while Lacey took home the season two title. |
