A truly grand finale. This season the final three couples are all excellent dancers and entertainers. This has been a very fun season from Cloris and her early clowning to the beautiful Brooke, wonderfully charming Warren and the creative and exciting Lance. Indeed it has been grand. Who will win? I do not have a guess because each of these three couples has their own strengths that could carry them to the winner's circle. What I do know is tomorrow night will be great fun and very suspenseful.
The first hour is a review of the remaining couples' 2 favorite dances on tape, while everyone is dressed in matching costumes for the "Samba Smack Down" which will be live later as well as the free style. The child dancers winners did their jive and were given their trophy as well. There has been some competitive bantering with these three couples trying to psych each other out during the rehearsals.
The finalist doing the Samba smack down as a sort of group dance, begins with the solo of Brooke and Derek. The next solo is Lance and Lacey ending with Warren and Kym. Warren comes out doing a hand stand flip and he gets his hips moing very well. Both of the others did a great dance as well. It ends with a short group bit that looked very good as well.
Judges
Len begins by complimenting the "best band in the land" and then says they all performed better than they did earlier in the show. Warren did great, for Lance he says he loved the energy, and Brooke has been the sensation of season 7, and you are still the one to beat. Bruno says Brooke is sexy and sizzling and Lance has come up leaps and bounds, and Warren is irresistible. Carrie Ann says Lance has done very well, and Warren is the most improved but they seem to think he's still just a little lacking technically. She says Brooke did great but may have been reaching a little too far, saying some of it was a little awkward.
Scores are 9 + 9 +10 = 28 for Brooke & Derek
9 + 8 + 9 = 26 for Lance & Lacey
9+7+9 = 25 for Warren & Kym
First in the free style is Brooke & Derek. Derek so wants the trophy because his sister has won, and his best friend has won. They do some amazing lifts and acrobatics. Tom says "Wow, and that's what the freestyle is all about."
Bruno says you are the one that we all want. (the song was "The One that I want" from Grease)
Carrie Ann says you have to "bring it" here tonight and tonight, you brought it. Len says it's the best freestyle he's ever seen. She is going to be hard to beat!
Scores 10 + 10 +10 = 30 the perfect score.
Lance & Lacey are next. They are doing a hip hop and not doing any lifts in it in order to stay true to a true hip hop. I like it actually which surprises me. I suspect they won't get aperfect score but it really was good.
Judges - Carrie Ann loved the beginning and the end (where he took his shoe off) yet she thoughts there was one little part in the middle that didn't work for her. Len says he likes the hip hop and that he did a little few bars of cha cha cha in the middle of it. Bruno says the good thing is they always put creativity in the mix and bring smiles. Lance and Lacey will be among the stars on the tour later this year.
Scores 9 + 9 + 9 = 27
Now Warren & Kym. They are doing lifts and one that is "death defying". It was a good dance and did have lots of lifts.
Judges - Len says each season someone comes along out of the blue and is a big star. As an entertainer you have no one who can touch you. Bruno says, all resistance is futile. Carrie Ann says that one was my favorite but she says she saw a mistake.
Scores 9 + 10 +9 = 28
What a great season this has been! I've enjoyed watching and enjoyed blogging. Our last blog for this show will be tomorrow night. I hope you have enjoyed reading about it.
