Derek HoughDerek Hough is a one-time professional champion of Dancing With The Stars, after dominating Season 7Dancing With The Stars with partner Brooke Burke. Derek joined in Season 5, when he and actress Jennie Garth finished fifth.

Derek and his Season 6 partner Shannon Elizabeth after their season together, when they were photographed walking and making out on a Malibu beach, which they surely never meant for anyone to see. They announced their split via Twitter prior to the start of Season 9.

Derek's sister Julianne has also been a DWTS competitor and champion. They were partly raised and trained by Season 7 DWTS pro Corky Ballas and his wife, and grew up with Corky's son and DWTS pro Mark Ballas. Derek and Mark are in a band together now.

Derek produced one of the many rehearsal-related injuries during Season 7, when he fell, hit his head and was taken to the hospital in a neck brace. It turned out he was OK.

greenknees Does ABC set Derek (and Mark and Julianne) up to have the winning team 0 Sep 30 2009, 11:36 PM EDT by greenknees

It's hard to avoid the fact that one of the "Ballas crowd" gets assigned the highest potential dancers each season and has won so many times since they were brought in. Do you see bias in this fact, or just coincidence? (BTW, it doesn't appear true in Season 9.)
Do you find this valuable?
