DWTS Finale

Here is ABC's latest press release regarding next week's finale:

In the Monday’s two-hour performance show, the remaining couples will compete in three rounds of dance. In the first round, each couple will take on a new routine in a dance style that the judges would like to see again. In round two, the couples will be challenged to a Cha Cha relay, where each pair dances to a different section of the same song. In the last round -- and one of the biggest competitive dances of the season -- the couples take on a supersized freestyle featuring special effects, additional dancers and unexpected surprises.
On Tuesday, the entire celebrity cast returns, including Any Dick, Dorothy Hamill, D.L. Hughley, Wynonna Judd, Victor Ortiz, Ingo Rademacher, Sean Lowe and Lisa Vanderpump. The returning stars will perform a show-stopping opening number with the pro and troupe dancers. The show will feature music from Pitbull, who will perform his new single, “Hands Up,” and Wynonna will sing “I Want to Know What Love Is.” In addition, PSY will take to the stage with his latest hit, “Gentleman,” and Jessica Sanchez will sing her version of Pitbull’s “Feel This Moment.”
The fourth-place couple will be eliminated within the first hour of the show, and in a final element of the competition, the three remaining couples will perform a new routine in an “Instant Dance”– where they will tackle a style they know, but to music given to them for the first time live on television. This routine will be scored out of 30 and will round out the judges’ scores across both nights.

Thanks for posting this, LadyMustang. Sounds to me like all the finalists will be totally exhausted when it is over.

Thank you for posting the dances LadyMustang!

I'll be curious to hear what Wynona does with "I Want to Know What Love Is." It's one of my all-time favorites.

Vic3 I am sure pulling for Kellie to win the coveted Mirror Ball! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Allie's routine:






Are the judges watching the same thing that i am? Oh Please!! This routine was NOT wonderul as they just stated. Shge is so heavy on her feet and the few basic steps she does for a few measures are always topped off with more of her crazy shimmy shakes. There is more shaking than samba because mark knows that she can do that well and in fact, HE seems to like doing it too. This makes me angry to see how they are trying to influence viewers.

Mark and Allie's techno dance.....I thought it was a mess and the judges give a TEN!!

Derek and Kellie.....beyond amazing.

If Kelly doesn't win I will be upset.

THE JUDGES ggrrrr.
The judges are trying to influence viewers with their scoring.

Kellie and Derek
pure dance, no frills, nothing, just dance. incrediblely perfect dance.

That one position where Derek is holding her knees/thighs and she is holding herself up, erect, with her arms outstetched is SOOOO very taxing on the body. Beautiful, just beautiful.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] OMG I had tears in my eyes with Kellie and Derek's freestyle dance. That was so beautiful and amazing and it looked like her husband was on the verge of tears when that dance ended. IMO they by far the best tonight! I did not see a 10 score for either Aly or Zendaya's dances - SMH! I hope Kellie wins this - she sure deserves it!

USN wrote:I'm looking forward to seeing it again, SLA. I hope they get chosen for the encore dance.

Same here USN and I just watched it again on TV this time - it was just as awesome the 2nd time! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
