"What?! Oh my God. I thought Cheryl had it! Nicole said following her victory.
Going into the finale, Cheryl was in the lead with 13 points. Nicole and Joe were right on her heels, tied with 11 points.
The finale required each contestant to perform in a pair and then in a "Super Group" of three players total to show off all the skills mastered over the course of the six-week season. The studio audience voted for their favorite routines at the end of the night.
The winner of the first round would receive three points, while second place would earn two points and third place would receive one point. Only the winning "Super Group" would receive a three-point bonus on top of that score.
Cheryl and Nicole first paired up to take the stage with an energetic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders routine. They claimed first place, which brought Cheryl's score up to 16 and Nicole's up to 14.
Joe and Jeff delivered their own interpretation of "Beautiful" by Snoop Dogg, featuring the rapper himself. They took second place.
Ciara and Alan performed with Tell-A-Vision and finished in third place. They were instructed to dance with wireless TV monitors to create different stories. Timing and quick wardrobe changes were necessary.
It then became known that Joe, Alan and Nicole's "Super Group" outshone and received more votes from the audience than Cheryl, Ciara and Jeff. Because Nicole, Alan and Joe took first place, Nicole earned three points that put her one point above Cheryl's total score.
On the debut season of I Can Do That, the competing celebrities had to prove they could learn new skills, showcase their talents and complete surprise challenges. In a friendly rivalry -- without judges or eliminations -- the contestants tried to earn bragging rights as they tackled a new challenge and put on a show every episode.
