The Mirror Ball champion has officially been crowned. After emerging as favorites early on and refusing to bend all season, Kellie Pickler and Zendaya matched each other step for step in Monday’s DWTS finals. While fellow finalists Jacoby Jones and Aly Raisman battled gamely, it looked like Kellie and Zendaya were the co-favorites for the Season 16 championship. The voters, of course, have been known to surprise. After a jam-packed results show, the top celeb dancer emerged at last. Without further delay, your Dancing With the Stars champion for Spring 2013 is … Kellie Pickler! “This is amazing!” Kellie said, thrilled and hardly able to speak. Zendaya, Jacoby and Aly finished second, third and fourth. “I’m very proud. I’m very happy,” Zendaya said afterward. “I get to leave here with an amazing experience, so I’m happy.” “Out of all my trainers that I’ve had, I’ve never had a woman push me like she did,” Jacoby said of Karina when he was told he’d landed in third place. In the first moments Tuesday, Aly and Mark were eliminated in fourth place. “Good luck to you three. I love you guys so much,” she said to them. The top three went on to perform their instant dance, and all the couples received perfect scores, which meant that the leaderboard did not change. Kellie overcame a one-point deficit with America’s votes. What do you think? Did the right person win DWTS? Yes! She was the best! No! Team Zendaya! No! Team Jacoby! No! Team Aly! View Poll »
