Dancing with the Stars

I'm not usually a big fan of reality/competition shows, but this sounds like it's going to be hysterical...(from E!Online)

For its third season, 11 entertainers will vie for the disco-balled hardware that last year's winner, Drew Lachey, rather generously described as "ugly."

Jerry Springer, Tucker Carlson, Vivica A. Fox, Harry Hamlin, Mario Lopez, Joe (the artist formerly known as Joey) Lawrence, Emmitt Smith, Sara Evans, Willa Ford, Shanna Moakler and Monique Coleman are all primed and ready to hit the dance floor.

What exactly is "disco-balled hardware"??? Jerry Springer and Emmitt Smith... did you ever think you'd see those names in the same sentence? Not to mention in the same sentence as "ready to hit the dance floor"?
