Who will win “Dancing with the Stars’ ” Mirror Ball Trophy?
After last week’s amazing semi-finale performances, it all comes down to tonight’s finale. This season started off very slowly, in fact, there were times I was ready to give up on the series, but the group of stars and dancers in the finale have made the wait worth while.
The first dance of the night is the Paso Doble - I can’t remember if this is how they always do the final, but the groups are dancing individually and side by side. While this helps us see the difference between the dancers, this has to add a layer of difficulty to the overall competition.
Shawn Johnson & Mark Ballas - Nice overall performance. Clean and to the point. It would be great to see her dance in a few more years. Dance one score - 28.
Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani - Dramatic performance, but will the few misteps be too much for the fans. Dance one score - 29.
Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke - What can you say… that was nearly perfect - Dramatic and powerful performance filled with grace. Dance one score - 30.
After the first round of scores - this is going to be a close race to the finish.
Second - Freestyle - This is the dance where the dancer get to do whatever they want to do - no rules.
Shawn Johnson & Mark Ballas - What’s up with their costumes? It looks like they’re wearing garbage bags and robber masks. Okay they lost he costumes.. that helped. The crowd loved it! This is going to be a difficult choice for the judges and America - Even Len loved it this week! Dance two score - 30.
Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani It was hard to know if their number was dance - a cheer leading routine - a martial arts exhibition - or exactly what that was. Dance two score - 27.
Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke - My only question about this number… is where is the bucket of water? The homage to “Flash Dance” showed off more of Cherly’s talents than Gilles - so one has to wonder if this was a good choice. Dance two score - 28.
The scores are close. So who will win this season’s mirror ball trophy - Could Shawn and Mark pull out an upset?
