So tonight is the finals of “Dancing With The Stars” Each couple had to do a “Cha Cha Cha Face-Off” and then got to do a freestyle dance. The drew to see who is going first and who last. The line-up was Christian, followed by Jason with Kristi last, then they all dance together.

Christian and Cheryl started off with “Dancin On The Ceiling.” Jason and Edyta then continued with the same song. Finally Marc and Kristi came in and finished it up. She ran over and planted a big one on Bruno’s lips! Eventually everyone joined for the group choreography bit.

Len said he loved it, he thought the whole idea was fantastic. He told Christian he had great hips and rhythm. He said Jason had elegance and style, he felt sorry for him because Latin isn’t his big thing. He told Kristi she had the technique and style from Jason, the hips and rhythm from Christian, the complete package.

Bruno said they all did so well. He said Christian banged like the best, his improvement is amazing. He told Jason he was off a bit in the timing. He told Kristi she was in a class of her own.

Carrie Anne said watching them all back to back, they could see who was the best. She told Christian he was good, but his injury is affecting his posture a bit. She agreed with Len that Latin isn’t Jason’s best dance. She told Kristi hands down she won that round.

Christian and Cheryl got a 26.

Jason and Edyta got a 24.

Marc and Kristi got a 30.

The second round was the freestyle round.

Kristi and Marc went first, dancing to “Working Day And Night.” The routine was heavy on lifts, flips and very draining looking! Bruno said it was a demanding routine, she didn’t miss a beat and she made it look easy. Carrie Anne said it’s hard to keep up with the men in this competition, but she has been and she loved it. Len said he is no lover of hip-hop, but this held his attention from start to finish. They got another 30.

Jason and Edyta danced to “Miami.” It was a good routine, with great lifts, but Jason just looked a little clumsy out there to me. Carrie Anne loved the lifts, she thought it was fantastic. Len loved the humor, but the lifts were fantastic. Bruno said it was like watching centerfolds, the dance was fun and full of great lifts. They got a 27.

Finally Christian and Cheryl danced to some Latin song I don’t know (“Suavez?”). It was a fun dance with many one arm lifts and a death spiral spin. The one armed weakness was there for me though. Len said he thought it was fantastic, but because of his one arm the lifts weren’t up to standard. Bruno said for one arm he did bloody well, and he liked that he encapsulated his Latin spirit. Carrie Anne said this is the round they want to see who is going to win it, they may not compare to Kristi, but he is a winner in so many ways for not giving up. They got a a 26.

I cast all my text and online votes for Kristi. I am a bit biased and love her, but I also think overall she’s been the most consistent and the top scorer, so she deserves to win. However I think Christian might pull off an upset with fan voting and win.
