Live Blog of the DWTS Final Results Show!

Well, apparently the Results Show is canned for next season so this may be the last! (I was never a fan.)

The final four couples:

The current standing are:

Zendaya/Val - 65

Kellie/Derek - 64

Aly/Mark - 61

Jacoby/Karina - 56

Jacoby seems to be a long shot but the others are in with a chance.

Tonight is lots of filler, an Instant Dance and the Champions are revealed!

We start off with a group dance featuring all our celebs of course.

And now we have the encore dance chosen via Twitter.  Even though Zendaya was a trending topic on Twitter Kellie and Derek actually won. I agree it was the best dance but I am surprised.  A good sign for Kellie!

We are about to find out the fourth place couple.  It's Aly and Mark!

Aly was fantastic, a real pleasure.

That leaves Jacoby, Kellie and Zendaya who will do an Instant dance. They will have 60 minutes to prepare.

Now they're making poor Aly dance in a tribute to the women in the final.

And here is Wynonna singing.  And yes, she's much better at singing than dancing?

Lisa Vanderpump starts a foxtrot with Gleb but finishes with Len - very cute.

Dorothy Hamill segment - Dorothy had to withdraw and Tristan can't dance in the final! So Dorothy is dancing a Viennese Waltz with Henry.  And they are joined by Kristi Yamaguchi and Sasha! Never saw that coming!

Andy Dick returns with Sharna to dance to Poker Face.  I enjoyed him.

Now we have PSY.  That was fun!

Jacoby and Karina will be dancing salsa by the way.

Kellie and Derek have the jive.

Zendaya and Val also have the jive.

Here's Pitbull.  I discover Pitbull through DWTS and I quite like him, but it's just like the PSY routine we just saw!  Big group number.

The Instant Dances:

Jacoby and Karina - Salsa - Len said he was full of fun, a breath of fresh air; Bruno felt he had the power; Carrie Ann said it was a dance of a champion - 10/10/10=30, total 86

Kellie and Derek - Jive - Bruno said "Goodness Gracious Great Balls Of Fire", Carrie Ann loves watching them, Len said she was awesome - 10/10/10=30, total 94

Zendaya and Val - Jive - Carrie Ann is going to miss them, Len said she was a star and Bruno said "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" - 10/10/10=30, total 95

We now find out who is in third place....

It's Jacoby and Karina.  He's a funny guy, a strange guy, good dancer.

Here we go...

Kellie and Derek are the Champions!  Zendaya and Val were second.

DWTS Finals Live Blog!

It's been a long but enjoyable season!

The remaining celebrities are Jacoby Jones, Aly Raisman, Zendaya Coleman and Kellie Pickler.

Each couple dances up to four times - judges' choice, Cha Cha Cha relay round and Instant Dance.

Let's get started!

First off its the judges' choice.

Jacoby and Karina - Jive - pretty good, seemed a bit subdued to me - Len thought he was getting better (bit late, it's the final!), Bruno called Len Gandalf, Carrie Ann thought he was a bit flat footed - 9/9/9=27

Aly and Mark - Samba - Bruno called Aly scrumptious, Carrie Ann loved it, Len saw improvement - 9/9/10=28

Kellie and Derek - Quickstep - fantastic, thoroughly enjoyable; Len said it was excitement, Bruno said that technically it was a tour de force, Carrie Ann said thank you - 10/10/10=30

Zendaya and Val - Samba - Carrie Ann said it was magical, Len thought she'd only scratched the surface of her talent, Bruno said she just keeps getting better - 10/10/10=30

Next is the Cha Cha Cha relay - each couple dances a portion of the song. The best couple gets 5pts, second is 4, third is 3 and fourth is 2.

Len said these couples are the four that should be in the finals.  Bruno went along and commented on everyone. Carrie Ann said it was hard, it was so diverse.

The Relay Scores:

Fourth - Jacoby - 2

Third - Aly - 3

Second - Kellie - 4

First - Zendaya - 5

Next up is the Supersize Freestyle.  Each couple can have extra dancers, props etc etc.

Jacoby and Karina - Un homage de New Orleans - Len said it was like his 108 yard touchdown, Bruno loved it, Carrie Ann thought it was a good choice for him - 9/9/9=27, total = 56

Aly and Mark - highlighting Aly's strengths - (I didn't really get the stripper poles) - Bruno said they took an incredible risk, Carrie Ann said it was fun, Len said she was Alexandra the Great - 10/10/10=30, total = 61

Kellie and Derek - From the mind of Derek - Stunning. Carrie Ann said it was one of the most beautiful things she's ever seen, Len gave a standing ovation, Bruno said it was spell-binding - 10/10/10=30, total = 64

Zendaya and Val - Cha Cha Cha to Contemporary to Hip Hop - seemed to finish a little early; Len babbled a bit, Bruno babbled of course, Carrie Ann didn't really say much - 10/10/10=30, total = 65

So Jacoby is at a bit of a disadvantage, the other three are neck and neck.

Tomorrow sees the instant dance, and the winner of Season 16 of Dancing with the Stars will be crowned!

Semi Finals Results Show Live Blog

 It's the 300th show!  I'd forgotten that!  Eight years of sparkly stuff.  Wow.

So we have five couples left and one, probably Ingo and Kym, will be eliminated!

Starting off with a pro dance of course!  Some old favorites there - hi Louis!

The first couple in the finals is....Jacoby and Karina.  Hey they just bleeped him!

The encore dance is Kellie and Derek's Argentine Tango.  Here's one I prepared earlier:

Here is a young girl who just beat the World record for pirouettes.  She is dancing with four pros, including her favorite Chelsie Hightower.  Lots of spins going on here.

The Wanted sang a tune that is to highlight www.childhungerendshere.com - highlighting child hunger in America.

Now it's Avril Lavigne.  she hasn't aged much but she seems to be leaning towards country.

This show is why they should go to one night.  The entertainment is top notch but I want to know results!

Zendaya and Kellie are up!

Kellie and Derek are in the finals!

Zendaya is in jeopardy! She joins Aly and Ingo in the final three.

Gleb and Sharna are doing a dance now.

Ingo and Aly are up.

Ingo in jeopardy, Aly safe.

Zendaya/Val and Ingo/Kym are onstage.  These are not necessarily the bottom two couples says Brooke.

Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson have been eliminated.

Ingo seems like a great guy, lasted longer than perhaps he should have.  Peanut is great!

Final next week.  See you then!

DWTS Live Blog from the Semi Finals

I'm off to a slow start this week - the dog wanted to do her business!  Came in through Kellie and Derek's tango - and the bit I saw looked great!

Each of the couples dances twice tonight - the second time it's the dance the Twitterers chose last week.

First Round

Kellie and Derek - Tango - the judges loved it - 10/10/10=30

Ingo and Kym - Samba - Bruno could tell they worked hard, Carrie Ann thought it was sloppy in parts, Len thought they did a good job with a difficult dance - 8/8/8=24

Aly and Mark - Rumba - a lovely dance, loved by the judges, Carrie Ann in particular - 10/10/10=30

Jacoby and Karina - Tango - Bruno thought it was his best performance ever, Carrie Ann got all het up and shook her hair a lot - 10/10/10=30

Zendaya and Val - Quickstep - Bruno loved it but pointed out a couple of problems, Carrie Ann thought it was a mess, Len thought it was a bit too fast - 8/8/9=25

Second round

This round features the dances chosen by Twitter.

Kellie and Derek - Flamenco - Len said her talent was huge, Bruno said she tightened up at times, 9/10/9=28+30=60

Ingo and Kym - Charleston -  Bruno thought it was fun, Carrie Ann said it was fun, Len said his was his best dance of the season - 9/9/9=27+24=51

Aly and Mark - Afrojazz - Carrie Ann said it was fantastic, Len loved it, Bruno said Aly was Queen of the Jungle - 10/9/10=29+30=59

Jacoby and Karina - Lindy Hop - High energy, full on, fabulous said Len; Bruno said he nailed it; Carrie Ann said he was the #1 entertainer of the season - 10/9/10=29+30=59

Zendaya and Val - Hip Hop - Bruno said it gave him chills, Carrie Ann thought Val did well, Len thought it was fantastic - 10/10/10=30+25=55

Ingo is at the bottom but he's not too far behind Zendaya, his problem is that he'd never maych her viewer votes!

Its the 300th episode tomorrow night - join us!

DWTS Live Blog - Week 8 Results Show

USix couples are left, four will be in the final so the stars who leave this week and next lose out big time!

Zendaya's Salsa with Val and Gleb has been chosen as the encore dance.  Well deserved but so was Kellie's Paso - the one where Len had his melt down.  The worst one yet!

Sean Lowe finished with 42 points, Ingo 48 and Jacoby rounded out the bottom 3 with 52.  So Sean needs a lot of votes!

All the couples are on stage.

Ingo and Kym are through!

Kellie and Derek are in jeopardy.  Huh? I know they got lots of votes! I think the producers are trying to milk Lens little tantrum.

Zendaya and Jacoby are on stage.

Zendaya and Val are in the semis.

Jacoby and Karina are in jeopardy.

Ooh, some hidden mike of the judges discussing Kellie and Derek's Paso.  Len actually said it was as good as Sean's dance!

Jason Derullo is now pretending to sing a song.

Here are the results of the Twitter exercise on choosing who dances what next week:

Zendaya/ Val - Hip Hop (duh)

Jacoby/Karina - Lindy Hop

Aly/Mark - Afro Jazz

Kellie/Derek - Flamenco

Sean/Peta - Disco

Ingo/Kym -Charleston 

Nothing surprising there, Zendaya owns Twitter.

Now a segment on Peanut, Ingo's son. Sweet.

So here's Derek Hough and Jaime Goodwin dancing in a little room!  The room is rotating but the camera is still and it looks like they are dancing on the ceiling, walls etc. Very clever of course. Really quite amazing!

So Aly and Sean are up.  I suspect Aly will go through and Sean will be in jeopardy.

And I was right.

So the final three are Sean/Peta, Jacoby/Karina and Kellie/Derek.

Kellie and Derek are (of course) through to the semis.

Those left are not the bottom 2 - interesting!

Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd have been eliminated.  Although a little stiff, Sean does seem to have a great sense of humor.  He didn't warm me to The Bachelor though.

Semis next week!

DWTS Live Blog Week 8 - Trio Night

We're without Andy Dick this week (note I didn't do a dick joke) so were down to the "good" dancers.
