And the 'Dancing With the Stars' Winner Is ...

Tonight's 'Dancing With the Stars' finale began with three finalists: ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, Olympian Evan Lysacek and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. And after a season of stiff competition, one of these competitors walked away with the mirror ball trophy.

The big finale featured dancing appearances by Kate Gosselin, Pam Anderson, Niecy Nash and Jake Pavelka. Football star Chad Ochocinco was scheduled to dance, but an injury kept him off the floor.

So, after a season of waltzing around the dance floor, which contestant walked away with the big prize? Find out after the jump. (Spoiler ahead!)

Nicole Scherzinger and partner Derek Hough proved too good to beat, and the pair was named the new 'Dancing With the Stars' champions.

About halfway through the show, Andrews and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, were sent home as Lysacek and Scherzinger were named the two finalists. Their goodbye moment was sweet -- Andrews kissed her partner on the cheek and thanked everyone.

After the final dances by the two remaining pairs, Scherzinger's was named the winner, scoring 30 points to Lysacek's 28.

I feel the dancers should dance the same style dance whether it
be a samba. cha cha, waltz, etc. I feel this way you could see who is doing better than the other.

I also feel that the costumes that some of the female dancers wear don't have to be so revealing.
