About Dancing with The Stars:
Tuesday night was the last night of the biggest season of Dancing with the Stars so far. Alix Earle, Robert Irwin, Dylan Efron, Elaine Hendrix, and Jordan Chiles were all fighting for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Additionally, the hosts disclosed that 72 million votes were cast for the finale, double the total from the previous year.
Three dances were performed by each team: the Insta Dance, the Judges’ Choice, and a Freestyle. Teams had to prepare up to four additional dances in addition to their existing routines because they had only five minutes to memorize their dance style and song for the Insta Dance.
In Dancing with the Stars Carrie Ann Inaba selected the samba that Alix and Val performed to start the show, and they received a perfect score of thirty. They performed a high-energy cha-cha that also received a perfect score in their Insta Dance, which you wouldn’t believe was unrehearsed.
Naturally, everyone was anticipating their freestyle, as Val consistently excels in that domain. Alix scored another flawless 30 because she was eager to demonstrate her confidence. She was the only competitor of the evening to receive a flawless 90/90.
Bruno Tonioli chose the jive that Dylan and Daniella danced. Bruno gave them a 10, followed by two 9s, for a total of 27, even if it wasn’t flawless. They decided to do a foxtrot as their Insta Dance, and it completely lighted up the ballroom.
Dancing with the Stars judges gave it a perfect score of 30, calling it one of the best dances of the entire season. One of the highlights of the evening was their freestyle, a modern dance that included dancing in the water. It should come as no surprise that they received an additional 30, making their final score 87/90.
Derek Hough gave Elaine and Alan a rumba, which Bruno called “pitch perfect,” thus their flawless score of thirty was not surprising. They did a quickstep as their Insta Dance. They received a 27 out of 30 despite one minor error.
Andy Richter and Lisa Ann Walter made brief appearances during their entertaining “A Chorus Line” freestyle. They received a perfect score of 30, making their overall score 87/90.
Derek then handed Robert and Witney a quickstep. Derek and Bruno were ecstatic by the performance despite Robert’s rib injury sustained during practice; Derek even referred to him as the “Quickstep King.”
They received a 29 out of 30. They chose a cha-cha for their Insta Dance, which Robert claimed he didn’t want to perform, yet they still received a perfect score of thirty. They received yet another flawless score for their forceful, passionate, and emotional freestyle. They scored 89 out of 90.
Carrie Ann gave Jordan and Ezra a paso doble, and they finished last in the opening round. Carrie Ann clarified that they received a 29/30 because of minor errors that prevented them from receiving a perfect score.
They performed a tango for their Insta Dance, and the judges gave them a perfect score of 30 since they enjoyed it so much. The last act of the evening was their freestyle, and it seemed as though they saved the best for last.
Naturally, they scored a perfect 30, and Carrie Ann remarked it was the best freestyle she had seen in 20 years. They scored 89 out of 90.
Dancing with the Stars show announced that Elaine Hendrix, Andy Richter, and Danielle Fishel will be participating in the live tour prior to revealing the winner. Surprising appearances will also be made by the finalists. Robert Irwin ultimately won the Mirrorball Trophy.
