Kristi Yamaguchi Back on Top of "Dancing with the Stars"

With the finals just around the corner, Kristi Yamaguchi and partner Mark Ballas, dished out two outstanding performances on Monday May 5th, 2008, that put the judges in glee. In the first round, Kristi and Mark performed a tango that gave them a score of 29 out of 30. Their second dance, the jive, earned them 28 out of 30. With these scores, they climbed to the top of the leader board.

They danced so well that they had the judges throwing out compliments. Even Carrie Ann called Kristi, “Queen of the Dance Floor.” I'm happy that she is doing so well. I wonder if her training as a figure skater have to do with how well she is doing? I am rooting for her.
