Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas had so many technically flawless performances to choose from that they really made my life difficult for a little while there. I decided, however, that I have to settle on this rumba as one of my all-time favorites from the season. Although it was not Kristi's highest-scoring performance, it was the first time in which we really saw her let her guard down and give herself into the romance of the dance. The rumba does not have the wow factor that the paso doble or the tango might have, but Kristi and Mark make this little number so sexy, so romantic, it nearly broke my heart. I will look back on this routine as one of the best ones of all of
Dancing with the Stars.
