Brooke and Derek really did a great job last night. While it may not have been the "best freestyle ever" it was danged close. It was pretty technical and was almost spot on. I think they deserved the scores they got. Lance and Lacey just don't get it. Lacey is so busy showing off what she can do that she forgets to teach Lance how to dance (almost half that freestyle he was just standing there, his feet were not moving), and she forgets that the audience votes. They deserved the scores they got. Warren and Kym should've come in second place ahead of Lance and Lacey. Warren's footwork, while not super impressive, actually did exist. And I dunno, but he's just such a happy dancer and he does make me smile. I find it interesting that this season the judges didn't score the final 3 as closely as they have in the past. Brooke's five point lead is a pretty decent lead, which means second place is (technically) open to anyone. If Brooke doesn't win, I'll be surprised, but if Warren doesn't come in second (or even first), I'll scream foul. So I'll be happy if Brook and Warren are F2 and I don't have to see Lance (or Lacey) ever again!

Question for all West Coast DWTS fans: do you want me to try and spoil tonight or would you rather not know who won?

Just a general note that spoiling a show that is being aired on the East Coast is considered normal and acceptable in the show thread. Anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled shouldn't visit the thread. Now if you are just asking if people are interested so you know if it is worth doing, then that is fine too of course.

Just watching last night's show, was Derek crying after the freestyle dance?! Awwwww. The Grease theme was an excellent idea, you could tell the audience got excited for it within the first couple of bars.

For Lance and Lacey there's not enough "real" dancing for me, just silly stuff and some tricks. Fun but not a showcase of talent. Tonight's a two hour show?! Arggg I'm never going to be able to persuade my dh to watch it!

Here's what it says will be on tonight: In Tuesday's two-hour Finale, all three finalists will perform their third and final dance -- one of their favorite past routines from the season - to be scored by the judges. The judges' scores for Tuesday's dances will be combined with the judges' scores and viewers' votes from Monday's performances to determine the victor of the coveted "Dancing with the Stars" mirror ball trophy. Throughout the two-hour Finale, the previously eliminated couples will return to perform their final dances of the season. Cloris Leachman returns in a very special "Man on the Street" segment and Jeffrey Ross returns for a hilarious roast of the three finalists. Other Finale highlights include two amazing musical guests: Multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys brings down the house with "I Need You," from her five-time platinum album, "As I Am," which quickly became her fourth consecutive number one album. And Miley Cyrus rocks the "Dancing with the Stars" stage with eight of her own dancers performing her third single, "Fly on the Wall," from her second studio album, "Breakout." Currently Cyrus is in production on her third season of her hit TV series "Hannah Montana," and will be seen this month in Walt Disney Pictures' animated feature "Bolt" with John Travolta. All the excitement and frenzy will lead up to the moment we've all been waiting for - who among the three finalists will win reign as champions of "Dancing with the Stars" and take home the coveted mirror ball trophy?

If Derek was crying after the freestyle it was probably because his back hurt. He nearly dropped Brooke when she jumped off the judges table.

Count me in on letting you know what is happening on DWTS tonight! I have to say though that I am kind of sad to see it end tonight. It was a great way to spend my Monday and Tuesday nights!

I saw that and that is the 2nd time he did another lift where it looks like he almost drops her,,,he did it towards the end of routine w/Juliane and again at the end of this dance with Brooke, if that is the way it is supposed to look then its a move that looks like an error. I think they overscored Brook so she would win, which sux. I dont care who wins just like it to be fair. They did same thing with Kristy last year. I wish they would listen and do 2 contests girl/boy

I really don't get the Lacey hate. The judges said that comment once. Lance has come so far since the beginning of the competition. Should Brook win? Yes. She is the best DANCER. Warren is a wonderful entertainer and so fun to watch. Lance tries so hard and has evolved the most. Why this show makes people hate, is beyond me. If Lance winning is the worst thing that happens today, it will be a great day. The same result if Warren or Brook wins.

I guess you are talking about other boards because hate is a pretty strong word. On here, I just think that some people enjoy other performers and what they have brought to the show more than Lacey.

Oh well. It is okay to dislike a performer. I tend to reserve hate for more serious things than reality shows but everyone is different.

It's not hate. It's just dislike. Plain and simple. There are quite a few of us who didn't like Lacey on SYTYCD and like her even less on DWTS. And Kitt, I totally agree with the lack of dancing. It's kind of what I meant when I said that there were long spaces where Lance was just standing there and Lacey was doing all the dancing. At least Warren was moving his feet when Kym was spinning like a top!

I guess you are talking about other boards because hate is a pretty strong word. Reminds me of a "My Three Sons" eppie from many years ago. Dad Fred McMurray was teaching his sons about using the words "hate" and "dislike". I think of that often. It stuck with me. (I'd buy a season of "My Three Sons" just for that episode. Wish I could figure which it is.) I rarely use the word "hate" myself -- especially with regards to a person.

That's so funny...I read an article today where Lacey said she and Lance deserved to win because they did MORE dancing. I haven't watched yet so I will reserve judgment. And I thought Kristi was amazing last year and deserved her scores. But then again I believe Oswald was the only shooter on the grassy knoll too.

LACEY may have done more dancing, but Lance sure as heck hasn't. The entire season he hasn't.
