During the week of May 20, 2013, ABC was the most-watched TV network overall (6.5 million), and for the 2nd week in a row ranked No. 1 in Adults 18-49 (1.4/5 - tie) and Adults 25-54 (1.9/5). In addition, ABC was the top net with Women 18-49 for the 4th time in 5 weeks.
Boosted by the 16th season finale of Dancing with the Stars, ABC was the most-watched TV network on the final Tuesday of the season and finished a strong second in Adults 18-49. The Net also won the night in Adults 25-54 and key Women (W18-49/W25-54)
Ten weeks. Twelve couples. One hundred and twelve dances. Thirteen perfect scores all earned in the last three rounds of the competition. One mirrorball trophy. No matter which star you took as your champion, this finale was bound to be a heartbreaker.
Forget the mirrorball trophy. Tonight's finale wasn't a competition; it was a master class in movement and expression. No gimmicks necessary, no drama drawn out of thin air (despite Brooke Burke-Charve's best efforts), just really fantastic dancing.
After 10 weeks of entertaining, stylized dancing from Jacoby Jones & Karina Smirnoff, Kellie Pickler & Derek Hough, Alexandra Raisman & Mark Ballas and Zendaya & Valentin Chmerkovskiy, only one couple will be crowned 'Dancing with the Stars' Champions. These four remaining couples will have one last opportunity to impress the judges and viewers on MONDAY, MAY 20, concluding with the Season Finale, TUESDAY, MAY 21 on the ABC Television Network.
Tonight's semifinal spectacular struck the perfect balance between gimmicks and knock-your-socks-off, wow performances. But at the heart of this heated competition for the mirrorball trophy is a naturally occurring spring of dramatic tension no amount of half-tone montages or hyperbolic metaphors could ever replicate: the hordes of soap-loving middle-aged women who could very well put Ingo through to the final despite his cringeworthy lack of coordination, leaving one of his wildly talented competitors out in the cold.
Saucy shimmying? Booty shaking? Piñata breaking? That flamboyant combo can only mean one thing: it's Latin week on DANCING WITH THE STARS once again.
Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler freestyle-rap their elation over getting three nines, Sean Lowe discusses his "amazing" and "magical" time on the dance floor with…Tristan??, and Val Chmerkovskiy gets tough with dance partner Zendaya and big brother Maks Chmerkovskiy in an all new installment of ABC.com's "Dancing with the Stars: Pre-Show" web series.
How do you follow up the delightful, glittering spectacle of nostalgia and shirtlessness that is prom night, you ask? With a heavy dose of sappy sentimentality, of course - and when that doesn't work, a bit more shirtlessness.
Andy Dick shares the secret behind those abs, Sean Lowe -- destined to be Prom Queen?! -- and Derek Hough schools Kellie Pickler in the vernacular of Samurai swords in an all new installment of ABC.com's "Dancing with the Stars: Pre-Show " web series.

For a post-prom extravaganza, this week's elimination was totally lacking in the drama department. No one cried, no one expounded upon the desperate struggles of learning to ballroom dance. Nobody even seemed remotely stressed out about getting the axe. Talk about a letdown!

Picture, if you will, the most cringe-worthy walk down memory lane imaginable. I'm talking tacky dresses, bad hair and middle-aged men and women gyrating on the dance floor all in the name of reliving their glory days. By all counts, DANCING WITH THE STARS' prom night should have been just that train wreck. But ABC had the last laugh this April Fool's, because it was actually kind of awesome.

It may only be week two, but DANCING WITH THE STARS is already in full swing with enough walk-outs, breakdowns and resolve-shaking injuries to fuel a finale.
