Dancing With The Stars, Aly Raisman's Results

How did Aly fare in the series finale? Spoiler Alert: If you are not ready for the results, do not read below.

 

Needham's Olympic gold medallist was unfortunately knocked out before she could bring home the gold in ABC's dancing contest.

All of the stars returned for last night's grand finale, as did guest stars Psy, Pitbull and Wynonna. The crowd fell silent as the results were announced: Aly Raisman was the first star to be sent home, putting the couple in fourth place.

"This has been the best experience of my life," the Olympian said as she was eliminated. 

The crowd cheered wildly at her farewell. Host Tom Bergeron told her that she had made a real impression on the program and its fans.

Partner Mark Ballas called her "the best partner I've had in my life."

The team was sent off with hugs from the remaining competitors. 

With Aly eliminated early in the episode, the final standings for the season: 

  • Third place: Jacoby & Karina
  • Second place: Zendaya & Val
  • First place: Kellie & Derek

Host Tom Bergeron noted that, during the East Coast broadcast of the program last night, ABC.com's web voting system was not working. Which means web votes did not count for any of the stars. Calls, texts from AT&T customers and Facebook votes combined with the Judge's ratings decided who went home.

The fans also voted to see Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough perform a freestyle at the beginning of the program.
