DWTS : Season 19 photo dwts19.jpg

Tonight, the remaining fourth celebrities will compete on the eleventh and final week of Dancing With the Stars and this time, it really is a fight to the finish with each and every contestant being good enough to take home the coveted mirrorball trophy.

The four remaining couples will compete in two exciting rounds of dance. In the first round, each couple will take on the “Judges Pick” and perform a dance they previously performed this season that the judges have selected. In the second round, the couples take on the biggest competitive dance of the season, a “Freestyle” routine featuring special effects, additional dancers and unexpected surprises. And we’re off to the races… It starts with an energetic routine from the professional and the troupe, before we are welcomed to show by Tom and Erin and introduced to the remaining celebrities. The first couple dancing is Bethany and Derek.


Opening Group Number – Troupe & Pros – DWTS 19… by IdolxMuzic

Bethany (Jive)

The will be performing the dance they performed the first week and Bethany feels pressure to improve upon their first outing. Bruno says they struggled with the transition last time, so that will likely be a focal point for them. Bethany has grown so much since the first week that this is substantial better than last time, but she still hesitates a bit and this is far from a slam dunk. Still good though, considering the set didn’t move on time. Len says it was still a great way to open the show, Julianne says she is so comfortable now that she doesn’t even see Derek (LIES!), Bruno says she is an ideal student and Carrie Ann says that she saw tremendous improvement.

Carrie Ann-9, Len-9, Julianne-9, Bruno-9 = 36/40

Bethany Mota & Derek – Jive – DWTS 19 (Finals) by IdolxMuzic

Sadie (Samba)

She threw up after last week’s dance and the great scores they received. Len says they picked the Samba, because he was away and he wants to see it in person with a fresher take. She never expected to make it this far and she gets a visit from One Direction’s Liam. She more confident and assure of herself this time around, which makes the routine much better. I still think she should be eliminated tonight, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she made it through. Maybe her freestyle will change my mind. Julianne liked it even better this time around, Bruno says she was slightly behind on the timing, Carrie Ann says this is exactly why she is in the finals and Len agrees with Bruno but thought it was a great number.

Carrie Ann-10, Len-9, Julianne-10, Bruno-9 = 38/40

Janel (Samba)

They really shined last week and emerged as a true threat to Alfonso. However, her busy filming schedule and the lack of rehearsal time may hold them back. Julianne picked their Samba because she thought it was one of their strongest dances, but the scores didn’t depict that. She also injured, but she has also grown immensely and it shows throughout the routine. This wasn’t my favorite dance the first time around and my opinion remains the same, but she also loses timing. Bruno and Carrie Ann point this out, Len didn’t see any mistakes with the turns and Julianne tells her to use the setback as motivation.

Carrie Ann-9, Len-10, Julianne-9, Bruno-9 = 37/40

Alfonso (Jive)

He truly believes its anybody’s game and they are taking it back to week one with the Jive. He scored a 36 the first time around, so they just need to work on the little things to dance to a perfect score and that is exactly what he did in my opinion. It is simply a joy to watch him dance and while anyone of the four can win, HE SHOULD WIN! Carrie Ann says he slapped us in the face with the dance, Len says he dances like Frank Sinatra sings, Julianne says everything connected and Bruno says he propelled the Jive into interstellar space. Whatever that means.

Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10 = 40/40

Alfonso Ribeiro & Witney – Jive – DWTS 19 (Finals) by IdolxMuzic

Now, before we get into the highly-anticipated freestyles, we are treated to a performance from Quvenzhané Wallis, is youngest Best Actress nominee in history of the Academy Awards, in support of her new film ‘Annie’. It hits theaters on December 19th.

Bethany (Freestyle)

They are dancing to “Revolution” and they are using it to reference what she has created for her life, career and fans. Derek believes she excels more in dramatic routines and is incorporating as much intensity as possible. She starts without Derek and definitely holds her own throughout the routine. It’s quite powerful! Derek is a genius choreographer and I would NEVER bet against him. He’s the most popular celebrity pro and has a fan base of his own (especially when compared to someone like Witney), which only works Bethany’s benefit in her quest for the trophy. Len says it was a five-star freestyle, Julianne says it was such a metaphor for what she has been the entire season, Bruno makes a Katniss from ‘The Hunger Games’ reference (I was thinking that too) and Carrie Ann says she was the center of the performance.

Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10 = 40/40

Sadie (Freestyle)

They are dancing to a video game theme and will be playing some famous characters. It Super Mario Brothers. they realize the competition and unfortunately, this music isn’t doing them any favors. It’s not energetic enough and they are not very in sync. Good idea, bad execution. Julianne says “game over” and calls it “cute”, Bruno thought it was refreshing, Carrie Ann calls it the most memorable freestyle and Len says he will never forget it. They obviously seen something that I didn’t. WTF?

Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10 = 40/40

Sadie Robertson & Mark – Freestyle – DWTS 19… by IdolxMuzic

Janel (Freestyle)

They are taking a different approach and one that rarely works, which is the contemporary route. This worked for Melissa Rycroft, but that is where the list begins and ends. They just want to deliver a beautiful performance and show how much they enjoy dancing together. There’s no denying that this is beautiful and the lifts are stunning, but I think Val failed her here. She will get great scores, but this isn’t what the majority of the audience wants in a freestyle. Bruno says it was a visualized love poem, Carrie Ann says they are an immaculate team, Len loved that it was just the two of them and Julianne calls it honest and pure.

Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10 = 40/40

Alfonso (Freestyle)

He says he is not going to let his injury get the best of him. They are trying to incorporate something from each routine that they have done, as well as, a tap dance solo. This is so exciting! He says he has wanted this for ten years and will give it everything he has. It starts really old fashioned, before he tributes his ‘Fresh Prince’ days and his starts as the tap dance kid. Just give him the damn trophy already! So good! Carrie Ann says it was the ultimate freestyle, Len says it was all you can eat buffet of dance, Julianne says the 10 years was worth wait and Bruno said he tapped his way to the top. Simply superb and props to Witney, because she really arose to the occasion all season long.

Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10 = 40/40
