SEASON FINALE

THE FINAL THREE CELEBRITY DIVERS FIGHT FOR THE SPLASH CROWN, ON THE SEASON FINALE OF ABC'S "SPLASH"

The Celebrities Will Perform a Dive of Their Choice and The Top Two Will Go Head to Head for the Ultimate Prize

All Ten Diving Celebrities Return to the Pool

"Episode 108" - The final three celebrity divers will take it to the top for the final time to perform a dive of their choice. The top two will be picked by the judges and will compete in a champion dive-off, but the first ever U.S. winner of the "Splash" trophy will be chosen by the live studio audience only! All of the previously eliminated celebrity divers will be back at the pool for a final dive, on the spectacular season finale of "Splash," TUESDAY, MAY 7 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

Hosted by Joey Lawrence ("ABC Family's "Melissa and Joey") and Charissa Thompson (ESPN"s "SportsNation"), "Splash" marks the first time ten celebrities will train and compete in regulation platform and springboard diving at dizzying heights in front of a weekly poolside audience. After training with professional divers and being mentored by the world's most decorated and medaled diving legend, Greg Louganis, their dives will be critiqued by two judges, London Olympic U.S. Gold medalist David Boudia and Australian Olympic athlete and USA Dive Team director Steve Foley.

"Splash" is from Eyeworks USA and is based on the breakout hit and Dutch format, "Celebrity Splash." It is executive-produced by JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Brant Pinvidic and Josh Greenberg.
