Kym Johnson and Donny Osmond.

Of course, Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson won the mirrorball trophy this season and his sister, Marie Osmond, and her partner, Jonathan Roberts finished third, but how do their scores compare?

Donny Osmond actually performed more dances than Marie Osmond, but he and Johnson didn't always outscore his sister and her partner.  You can click on the links to compare videos of the dance routines. Below are videos of their freestyle routines.

  • Donny and Kym: 20 week 1

Of course, only in season 3 has the high scoring team for the freestyle not won the mirrorball. Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts performed the freestyle to the Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" with Marie Osmond pretending to be a doll. Donny Osmond did better with his freestyle to Liza Minelli's "Back in Business" with his first perfect score. Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts never received a perfect score.

Donny Osmond and Johnson on average (24.4) were about the same as Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts (24.42). This excludes all the dances that Donny Osmond and Johnson performed but Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts did not such as the Argentine tango (29/30), the Charleston (24) and the jitterbug (24). Marie Osmond and Roberts earned a 24 for the mambo.

In the dances above, it's four dances for Donny Osmond and Johnson (freestyle, cha cha cha, paso doble and samba) and four dances four Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts (foxtrot, rumba, quickstep and tango). On two dances they tied (jive and Viennese waltz). Below are their freestyle dances.
