OlderGet The Scoop On The 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 21 Two-Night Finale
The Dancing With The Stars finals are just THREE days away and JJJ has the scoop on what’s going to happen on the two-night finale.
MONDAY: Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold, Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough, Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson, and Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess will compete in two rounds of dance.
In the first, one judge will help each couple choose the creative elements of each dance, which is a re-do to a new song. Carrie Ann Inaba will work alongside Lindsay and Alek AND Bindi and Derek. Julianne Hough is with Nick and Sharna, and Bruno Tonioli is with Carlos and Witney.
In the second round,the couples take on a freestyle dance featuring special effects, additional dancers and unexpected surprises. There will also be special performances from Meghan Trainor, singing “Like I’m Gonna Lose You,” and Who Is Fancy, Ariana Grande and Meghan performing “Boys Like You.”
At the end of the night, the couple with the lowest combined viewer and judge votes from the previous two weeks will be eliminated.
TUESDAY: There will be live dancing and show-stopping performances at the Grove shopping center and in the DWTS ballroom. The night kicks off with a high-energy opening number, featuring a reunion of all 13 of this season’s couples at the Grove, with performances from Alexander Jean, Andy Grammer, Chaka Khan, Elle King and Nick Carter.
Eliminated contestant Kim Zolciak will return to the ballroom to dance a Samba with Tony Dovolani to “I Dream of Jeannie,” which she was never able to perform, along with encore dances from the eliminated celebrities. The cast of the upcoming “Dancing with the Stars: Live! Dance All Night Tour” will perform a dance to Avicii‘s “Broken Arrows”.
Then, the three finalists will each dance a repeat dance from this season. In the last element of competition, the couples will perform a new routine as part of a “24-Hour Fusion Challenge.” The remaining couples will fuse two contrasting dance styles that they’ve performed this season and they’ll have less than 24 hours to prepare that dance for judges’ points BEFORE the mirrored-ball trophy winner is announced.
VOTING: Viewers may cast their votes for their favorite teams via phone on Monday night during and up to 60 minutes after the end of the broadcast in each time zone. Online voting at www.abc.com and on Facebook at https://apps.facebook.com/votedwts/ is open for 15 hours, beginning from the start of the episode Monday, November 23 on the East Coast at 8PM ET/5PM PT and closing at 11AM ET/8AM PT the next day.
