I've not been huge on them this season, but I'd have given Stephen and Rylee 30. I do hope they start to minimize the use of acrobatics in his routines, though.

Dwight did not deserve a 10. The performance was fantastic, but 97.3% of that was due to Daniela. All Dwight was there for was to literally pick her up.

I've been a fan of Joey this season, but this week is the first time I found him overscored. His posture was not great and I found the dance a step back for him.

Jenn was good. I don't know if it was 10-worthy, but I'm glad she went out on her highest score. I wish she hadn't been eliminated, though.

Chandler was good as always, but I kind of agreed with Carrie-Ann. Being a bit nitpicky, but I saw her posture slip a few times.

Ilona must be feeling crappy. To get 8s on a night where everyone else got at least one 10, especially when you were not that much worse than all of them? I saw good improvement in her, and I was impressed with her frame through most.

I honestly can't remember anything about Danny's dance.

And when watching, I correctly chose all 3 of the winners of the dance-offs. To me it was no question who performed best in each. I loved that Dwight wore the fringy pants for his. And when doing the discussion on costumes, it really did look like Derek was wearing Julianne's pants from last week's opening dance.

Sorry to see Jenn go, I thought her and Stephen were hilarious when they found out they were dancing against each other.
I liked them one-upping each other, though I wish when she said she was dumped on national TV, that she'd added "AND I have to see the guy who dumped HERE every day!'

I looked them both up when they came on the show (I don't watch the Bachelor/ette either) and it looks like she came 5th on his season of the Bachelor, after which she was featured on the next season of The Bachelorette.
I think they referenced their past last week though, when working on the team dance together.

I am really enjoying this season, sorry to see Jenn go she is more talented than several still in it, but can see why Iliona is a fan favourite, but she seemed a bit miffed tonight with the judging and I don’t blame her.

Amazing to see Kristi and Adam in the live studio audience tonight for the 500th episode special!!!
It was fun to see them along with all the other alumni in the audience. I enjoyed this episode. I knew Dwight was going to be the one to leave, but I will miss him on the show. He's just been such a positive presence, and I think Daniella has enjoyed the challenge posed by their extreme height difference. Their Argentine tango was a clever piece of choreography, and as Derek put it, she really worked it out there. It was never more apparent just how talented she is.

Finally caught up and :cheer2: that Stephen and Ilona made the Finals! I figured one of them would have been the one eliminated last week so :cheer: !!!

So each of the 5 will do a Redemption Dance and the Freestyle, but if the producers do something crappy like eliminate someone after the 1st dance but before the Freestyle, after they spent all the time to learn it (and then we never get to see it!), I will be livid! That will be a totally sucky move on their part if they do that. They better have all 5 do both dances and then do a 5th place, 4th place, 3rd place announcement at the very end.

I was happy about Stephen, not because I think he's the best but he's always entertaining & he's just so darn cute. I'm pretty neutral about Ilona because I don't think her dances ever look good because she's still too stiff.

I think Ilona has gotten a LOT better. And I like the chemistry between her and Alan. They seem like they'd be fun to hang out with on a Saturday night. :)

But I have enjoyed Stephen as well. The dancing doesn't come quite as naturally to him as it seems to with Danny and Joey, but I do enjoy him and Rylee together. I like all the finalists this year.

I do think Chandler will win. And I'm not mad at it, because I think Brandon has evolved into an exceptional choreographer this season. He deserves that mirror ball. I've got nothing against Chandler, I just think it's painfully obvious that she's had a lot more dance experience than the others.

It annoys me when the dance "ringers" win it, rather than the true newbies who have developed over the course of the show. That's my only peeve against Chandler winning it all.

The finale could have been MUCH shorter, but there were some good moments. My top 3 Freestyle's were 1) Stephen 2) Chandler and 3) Ilona. I thought it was appropriate that Danny came in 5th - he could do lifts, but didn't do much actual dancing. It was a fun season, first one I've watched in a while.

4th for S/R? Incorrect and immoral

I felt the same way - incorrect but I didn't think the placements were immoral lol. Joey consistently scored higher than Stephen so his win was earned but I would have liked S&R to come in 2nd. Iona's dancing was clunky for so long that when she finally improved enough to be fun to watch it's usually too late to get votes. If there was a fix at all I think her 2nd place was it. But I really like Alan so I was happy for him. I think Rylee's choreography is really good just like her sister's was. IMO they were the most fun to watch. She really got the best out of Stephen.

Anyone thinking the rumor Ilona Maher might be the next Bachelorette is true? I noticed on the DWTS tour schedule that she will only be in one show and it’s the very last one….in Hollywood. Coincidence or not?
