Dancing with the Stars - Finale Update

After 10 weeks of dancing it all comes down to the finale to choose this year’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ mirrorball trophy winner. Tonight (Nov. 24,) the three remaining couples will be showing us what they’ve got as they heat up the ballroom floor with samba and a freestyle number.

The three remaining couples are…

  • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
  • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
  • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

Tonight’s dances -

  • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
  • The couple has been at the top of the leaderboard 80% of the time. She and Derek have had the only perfect score. During the season the couple has scored 12 - 10s. But in the last last week’s performance, she was poor at best. Will Brooke bring the A game tonight?

    First Dance - Samba Smackdown Brooke and Derek are here to dance - great energy and precision footwork.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 9 - you’ve been the sensation of season seven and you’re the won to beat.

    Bruno Tonioli -10 - You really are a dazzling, sizzling

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - You bring the technical nuances to each dance. Total Score 28 out of 30

    Second Dance - Freestyle Brooke and Derek have set the bar pretty high after that number! Fun to watch and full of energy (Having watched the full season of Grease - you’re the one that I want, I wished the producers choose a different number!) That’s going to be a perfect 10

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 10 - I got all hot under the collar.

    Bruno Tonioli - 10 - Follow that! You are the one we all want. One of the best freestyle…

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 10 - Tonight you brought it. Total Score 30 out of 30 - Total for tonight 58 out of 60

  • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson
  • Warren and Kym have finished second in the weekly competitions more often than any other couple. Unlike Brooke and Derek, they have only scored three perfect 10s. Warren and Kym have been crowd favorites receiving standing ovations after many of their dances - but will it be enough?

    First Dance - Samba Smackdown Twinkle toes was back to top form -it seemed as though Warren was concentrating too much.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman -7 - Much more content… it wasn’t Kym doing all the work.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - You’re irresistible

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - Warren you are the most improved. Total Score 25 out of 30

    Second Dance - Freestyle Warren was way to focused on keeping his place in the number - so much that it didn’t look like he was having fun.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 10 - As an entertainer, you have no one that touches you.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - With you all resistance is futile.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - Of all the routines - that one was my favorite. Total Score 28 out of 30 - Total for tonight 53 out of 60.

  • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
  • Lance and Lacey have had 2 first place finishes this season and have only scored 3 10s. The contemporary dancing duo have the largest lead going into the final night of dancing.

    First Dance - Samba Smackdown That was some fancy footwork…. but a little light in the energy level.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 8- You’ve got a lot going on in that dance - you’ve got to work on the finesse.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - You are so tight and so clean.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - You have the momentum. Total Score 26 out of 30

    Second Dance - Freestyle While that was a fun number to watch - The hip-hop may have been the wrong choice.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 9 - I liked that song.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - Youthful, vibrant and exciting… Very Good.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - I loved the beginning and I loved the end… there was one section that through it off. Total Score 27 out of 30 for a total of 53 out of 60.

    Cloris Leachman will be back to cheer on the newest Mirror Ball Trophy winner in tomorrow night’s results show. After tonight’s performances, Brooke and Derek are in the lead and are likely to win season seven. So who are you voting for?

    Brooke may deserve it but Warren has the biggest tool.

    I love Lance, but I think the hiphop was a bad choice. Besides, he didn’t do so well in it! He should have stuck to what he’s learned. I loved Brooke’s freestyle and also loved Warrens. Either of those two winning will make me happy, but I think Brooke deserves it. She’s the better dancer to Warren’s better entertainer.
