'DWTS' Recap: Kirstie's 'Risky' Plan to Win It All
"Dancing with the Stars" finalists Kirstie Alley, Chelsea Kane and Hines Ward plan to bring it next week in the show's finale -- especially Alley, who is ready to take some chances.
"I want to do some risky things," the actress told "Extra" special correspondent Tony Dovolani. "Aerials. Cirque du Soleil things."
And she hopes her partner Maks doesn't kill her in the process. "I really just told him not to kill me, honestly. There's certain ways you can die that people feel bad for you and there's certain ways you can die and people laugh at you for the rest of their lives."
She laughed, "Do you know I almost died once choking on a parakeet? I had this bird and I was going... coochy, coochy and he put his head down my throat and I'm pulling him out by the tail and as I was doing it... I'm thinking the whole time: I can't die choking on a parakeet!"
Pro dancer Kym Johnson isn't letting her neck injury get in her way of bringing partner Hines Ward to the next level. "If I can take hits like that, look out. There are still some more sides of Hines you'll see next week," said Johnson.
As for Chelsea and partner Mark Ballas, they are planning something sexy. "To see Mark Ballas dance in tighty whities is something we'd all love to see." Mark added, "I'll only do it if you wear matching ones."
The final three will compete for the mirrored ball trophy next week on the season finale of "Dancing with the Stars." Vote for who you think will win!
