Though Kendra Wilkinson and Kirstie Alley both scored lower on the previous night’s show than Leonard, he wasn’t bitter with the results. “You know what? That’s life. I will cherish this moment. Great friends, great people. Great show.”

“I love the spirit of the show, what the show means, represents and stands for,” he added.
Leonard’s partner Anna Trebunskaya proudly reminisced on his progress this season. “We had so much fun. It was amazing. A boxer become a ballet dancer!”
