Finale time! For how fabulous this season has been, I’m thinking this finale will NOT disappoint!

Cat’s outfit is already not disappointing…she looks fabulous. Not too many slip ups for Miss Deeley this season ☺

Melanie and Marko, Disco w/ Doriana Sanchez
Finally! I’ve missed Doriana this season, but this song choice was just awful. The dance was way too fast for the music. The routine seemed slow with the music, even though I know the steps were fast. The lifts also looked a little off (agree with Mary and Nigel), which is weird for these two. I gotta say, this was probably the worst routine this couple has done. Bad timing for the finale.

Sasha and Mark, Contemporary w/ Sonya
What an amazing compliment to have Sonya choreograph an ode to you! I think Sonya and Sasha will be working together for awhile! This routine was just an amazing display of Sasha’s literal strength. She took that routine on full force and KILLED IT. She really is making a case for herself early tonight! Get it girl!

Tadd and Joshua, Krump w/ Lil C
Was that some kind of joke? NO ONE has abs that strong, let alone two people?!?! Seriously??? That was ridiculously impressive. Aside from maybe Twichington’s routine, that was one of the best routine Lil C has ever choreographed. You could see Tadd trying so hard not to show off his adorable little smile, and he did an admirable job with that. He definitely danced the shit out of it though.

Melanie and Robert, Contemporary w/ Stacy Tookey
Leave it to Stacy Tookey to wring the emotion right out of you. Man. What a beautiful routine! Seriously, if I had one word to describe Melanie, it would be ANGELIC. And, did anyone get excited about Melanie potentially playing “Baby” in the Dirty Dancing remake??? Kenny Ortega said he’d push to the front of the line to work with her…it’s a definite possibility. I’d pay to see that.

Sasha and Marko, Broadway w/ Spencer Liff
What a cute routine! Sasha is such a chameleon, I love it! She transformed from a warrior princess to a lady at the drop without a hitch! And she most definitely looked drop dead gorgeous. Nigel would have liked “more character”, which I find odd because I thought that both of them had so much character in that! Marko and his cute little nerdy glasses was just wonderful. Loved it!

Melanie did a solo. It was pretty ☺

Marko did a solo. It was wonderful ☺

Sashsa and Tad, Cha Cha with Mark Ballas
That was awkward and a horrible song choice. Boo. Good thing everyone likes you guys, that was really bad. And Sasha is really tall. Sorry, Mark, stick with DWTS.

Marko and Lauren Froderman, Contemporary w/ Tessandra Chavez
Marko is at his best when he’s being vulnerable, and that showed so much in this piece. He and Lauren worked so well together, and they were in sync the whole time, both in choreography and in emotional level. I especially loved that triple spinning lift thing they did. Gorgeous. Well done, Tessandra! Not sure what that scarf thing was around Marko’s waist, but other than that, it was fantastic!

Tadd did a solo. It was adorable ☺

Melanie and Tadd, Jazz w/ Ray Leeper
I have got start by saying DAMN MELANIE! So hot! This was just pure FUN! I loved the interaction between these two – great chemistry! It was flirty without being obvious and sexy without trying too hard! I just loved it!

Sasha did a solo. It was wonderful ☺

Sasha and Melanie, Contemporary w/ Stacy Tookey
Stacy Tookey has really been killing it this season. Everything she’s done has been so strong and powerful, this piece very much included. The piece really highlighted their acting skills (as Kenny Ortega said, they’re “actresses who can dance”). It was really cool to see Melanie take on some of Sasha’s power and Sasha take on some of Melanie’s grace. Osmosis dance training! One of these girls is gonna be the winner, I just don’t know who!!

Tadd and Marko, Stepping w/ Chuck Maldonado
This was just a weird routine. I absolutely hated the boots, and I think a shoe change would have made this 100 times better. They seemed to be sliding around on the rubber soles. Fun song, fun boys, fun choreo, poor costumes…that’s my assessment. Nigel said he still thought a boy would win. Well DUH.

I have to say, this was quite the letdown from last week, but I just figure that was because they’re all just so exhausted. I think the song choices being AWFUL also contributed to the mediocrity, so a fair warning to choreographers – PICK GOOD MUSIC.

I still am pulling for Melanie for the win, but I would be 100% happy if Sasha won as well. Either of them, they’re both great and they both deserve it.
