Along with millions of other Americans, we could not keep away from this season of Dancing with the Stars. However, we got a bit of an education watching this group of dynamic characters – without further ado, here are the 37 things we learned from watching this season:

1. Figure skaters can also dance. #duh

2. Abby Lee Miller loves to hear her own voice…and Maks doesn’t care about anything she has to say (we don’t either).

3. Jeremy Miller (Ben Seaver from Growing Pains) dated both Candace Cameron (DJ Tanner from Full House) and Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper from Wonder Years).

4. Juan Pablo and Nikki are actually still together and paid a visit to the ballroom. “It’s OK.”

5. We definitely want to party with LMFAO’s Redfoo; there may be no one more positive than he.

6. If Ricky Martin gave out grades, we’d all be straight A students.

7. Robin Roberts was the best guest judge. She has our vote to replace Len if he actually leaves.

8. Charlie is the ultimate team player; he’s always at the top of the stairs waiting to congratulate other contestants.

9. Maks and Meryl are clearly doing something beyond dancing- and if they aren’t. Peta and James Maslow must be.

10. Derek is the perfect choreographer for Amy (and everybody else).

11. For anyone who had a crush on Winnie Cooper during the Wonder Years, they most likely still do today.

12. Billy Dee Williams confirmed that enough Star Wars fans watch the show to keep him around for a couple weeks, and gained respect for knowing when to walk away.

13. Carrie Ann has a crush on James Maslow’s bare chest, though it won’t always give him a 10.

14. Maks and Val have an adorable grandmother.

15. Drew Carey’s son already has more pick up lines than most guys 3 times his age.

16. Oprah was Team Amy/Derek.

17. While Carrie Ann was freaking out about Paul Anka, half of the younger viewers were wondering “Who the Hell is Paul Anka?”

18. While blowing us away with inspiration, Amy has shown us it’s possible to overcome anything.

19. Sean Avery scares us.

20. James Maslow is the only guy who looks good with make-up, so says Al.

21. JAMES AND PETA KISSED!

22. While Mark headed to the hospital after injuring his shoulder Candace Cameron presented, “Celebrities Without Make-Up”.

23. Erin Andrews wants everyone to kiss on the show.

24. Candace Cameron making the final round proves the demographics of the show grew up watching DJ Tanner.

25. Stormtroopers can dance.

26. Meryl and Charlie dancing proves they could probably win a gold medal on the dance floor too.

27. Julianne Hough is a tougher judge than Len.

28. To appease the younger viewers Cody Simpson had to perform a song in the finale.

29. Sean Avery proved tough men can sport purse dogs.

30. Charlie should play Dick Van Dyke in a Mary Poppins remake.

31. Mark makes a lot of fart noises.

32. Maks wants to have two babies with Meryl, and nickname both of them “bear”.

33. I want to watch the “Blush’in Russian”. Coming soon to ABC.

34. Carrie Ann may very well stalk half of the celebrity dancers after the show.

35. Bruno has mastered the fist pump while giving a “10”.

36. Len loves to show that his name rhymes with ten, “From Len, it’s a ten!”

37. Meryl and Maks made a great team!
