The three couples will dance once more tonight. Then the judges decide which is third place / eliminated. The two remaining couples will do another dance. Judges then decide the winner.

My TV guide is showing it on from 8-11pm. Is that an error or is it a 3hr finale?

Holly, the first hour is repeat of last night's performance show, and then the 2 hour finale follows.

as it stands now, Evan is 2% behind Erin and Nicole. This could change after the scores for Dance 3.

I'm actually a bit confused at how it'll work tonight- from what I read, they'll do Dance 3, then they'll combine all three scores with the audience votes to decide who's in third. Then, they'll do Dance 4, combine all four judges scores with the re-figured audience votes (they'll only count only the final 2 votes to figure out the %) to get the winner.

Dial Idol has Evan ahead 75.868 to Nicole's 70.35 and Erin's 53.782.

DI isn't really trustworthy though- it's too small of a sample (if you look at the raw numbers, Erin is in first because she had 627 call attempts and 570 successes, compared to 440/270 for Evan and 420/297 for Nicole). AI usually gets about 100K total with their numbers- DWTS gets about 1.5K on the DI system.

I thought Erin pulled ahead of Evan last night. I hope she got some votes and everyone didn't vote for Evan. I think he should be third, with Erin/Nicole fighting it out for first.

Nicole is awesome. She has a lot of experience dancing so she should be awesome. Evan is great too but then again he's spent most of his life doing choreography on the ice and dance classes since he was very young. My heart is in it for Erin, though.

I'm watching the show now - Hulu has it on time this week, yeyy! So far I'm surprisingly underawed.

Didn't like Maks and Erin on the bed... not enough flow for me. And Anna and Evan were just a bit manic for my tastes.

About to watch Nicole and Derek...

I'm annoyed at myself for forgetting to vote last night. I watched 24 and completely forgot about it... I wanted to vote for Nicole.

Noooo... even Derek and Nicole didn't wow me! I didn't really like the matching costumes bit, somehow it came across a bit Laurel and Hardy. Such a shame about that lift too.

I think Nicole hands down deserves the win. Evan has grown a lot in terms of the personality part of the routines, and I love his lines, but his whole package doesn't measure up, to my mind. Erin should definitely be out third - she's good, but not that good. Also something in her personality and the way she talks to Maks during training grates with me, and I've gone off her as the season's gone on.

I hope we see something spectacular tomorrow.

I gave all 5 of my votes to Erin last night. I just love Erin and Maks together!

And....I'm hoping she wins just to piss off Mrs. Hasselback.

Now I hear that the first dance tonight will be a 30-28-26 scoring format with the judges...if there is, there's a bit of a chance for shenanigans:

Based on that format, Erin and Nicole can end up with scores of either 85 (for a 1st), 83 (for a 2nd), or 81 (for a 3rd). Evan can end up with scores of either 82 (for a 1st), 80 (for a 2nd), or 78 (for a 3rd).

So here's what could happen in all of the possible scenarios, with 246 total points available:

Erin 1st, Evan 2nd, Nicole 3rd: Er 85, Ev 80, Ni 81. Erin would be 2.63% ahead of Nicole. Nicole would be 0.39% ahead of Evan.

Erin 1st, Nicole 2nd, Evan 3rd: Er 85, Ev 78, Ni 83. Erin would be 1.82% ahead of Nicole. Nicole would be 2.02% ahead of Evan.

If Nicole ends up in first, Just swap Erin and Nicole in the first two scenarios.

Here's where it gets intreresting:

Evan 1st, Erin 2nd, Nicole 3rd: Er 83, Ev 82, Ni 81. Evan is only 0.40% behind Erin, and Nicole is only 0.40% behind Evan.

Evan 1st, Nicole 2nd, Erin 3rd: Ni 83, Ev 82, Er 81: Same situation as above, just swap Erin and Nicole.

Evan can't take the lead if they do this tonight- but if he wins using this format, it makes things extremely tight (less than 1% between all three couples)- basically making the judges scores a wash and leaving it up to the audience. If Evan comes in last, he's got to make 2% over whoever comes in 2nd- which is extremely difficult.

Basically, for Evan to have any shot of getting to the final 2, he's got to win Dance 3.

Speaking of Mrs Hasselbeck, they didn't even mention the DWTS finale on The View today.

Wilson are you saying even if Evan wins the fan vote he could still in up in third?

Essentially I think it means the judges have almost zero sway on who wins. Even with the widest spread in the final three (scores of 85, 83, 78) that spread in percentages is tiny (35%, 34%, 32%).

The thing is the viewer votes could be very swayed to one or other couple, for example Erin could be getting 50% of the votes, Nicole 30%, Evan 20%. With the judge's scores being so close, almost regardless of how they score tonight, the viewers really have almost the complete say on who wins as long as the viewer votes aren't also very close.

The View usually is all over DWTS but I'm guessing the dance stars refused to go on Hasselbecks show. There is no way the winner and runners up will do the tradition of going on The View. So therefore DWTS will never be mentioned.

Two quick items:

Chad is injured, and won't be dancing per an interview with from Cheryl.

Edyta is saying it's a "shocking elimination" (which is a bit premature, since there's still one dance to be scored on for all three of them- unless the viewer votes are so overwhelming that it's mathematically impossible for one of the couples to get out of last place)

I tuned it all excited at 8pm EST tonight expecting to see the brand new 2-hour finale, and instead was treated to a rerun of Monday night's show between 8 and 9pm. Just a heads up for anyone else. The new stuff begins at NINE pm!

Anyone know how the judging is working for tonight?? I missed the very beginning. I'm really worried for Nicole & Derek. Just a gut feeling based on online sentiment. Sure hope I'm wrong.

So the first show is ALL OLD? The description had me worried I'd miss something new..

But.. isn't anyone watching at 9pm eastern time? I was hoping to snag reults before I watched, get the chart updated early.

So no scores yet?
