Confused. Is the finale going tomorrow too? I thought they were doing *4* competitive dances? So are they dragging this out over 3 nights?

Judges didn't ignore the stumble...that should have been a 10 10 10 dance. Loved it, and they used my fav Elvis song. Pity they had one stumble. Much as I like Erin and Maks, they are tied for 1st and IMHO Derek and Nicole danced a zillion times better and more entertaining and FAR more difficult. Nicole just got all my votes...she earned them!

Found what it's going to be tomorrow: In the two-hour finale on TUESDAY, MAY 25 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), the competition continues as the three finalists perform their favorite dance of the season and are ranked by the judges. For the first time ever, all three couples have chosen the same dance, the Argentine Tango. Once the third-place winner is announced, the remaining two teams will perform a fourth and final dance for the judges' scores, which will be combined with the other scores and viewer votes. In Tuesday's Finale, all previously eliminated couples will return to perform all-new dance routines, including Chad Ochocinco with a romantic Rumba, Pamela Anderson's hottest dance yet, a high wire act by Kate Gosselin and a Viennese Waltz performed by Bachelor Jake Pavelka and his fiancee, Vienna. In the third and final week of the college competition, the winning ballroom dance teams from the previous two weeks -- Purdue University and Utah Valley University - will face off, with the final winning team to be chosen by judges Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno. All of the excitement leads up to the crowning of the new "Dancing with the Stars" champion and the presentation of the coveted mirror ball trophy. So viewer votes have no influence on the last two dances.

Tish, I'm assuming they are doing 2 dances tomorrow vs the usual 1. I was confused too..I assumed there would be 3 tonight. I was also stunned that the show was only an hour!

Have to say I thought the judging, which I often quibble with, was extraordinarily fair tonight.

LOL looks like I assumed correctly (wasn't many options lol). Thanks for the info Kitt. Not sure I like the fact that the judges have that much extra voting power over the winner. Doesn't seem right/fair to me.

it makes for a pretty pointless finale IMHO. It is very clear the judges want Nicole to win. And she will no matter what anyone else does. Oh well.

i gave all 3 different phones and internet votesd to Max and Erin. i think Nicole and Evan cancelled each other out, and Erin really, really wants this. Plus, I would love to see Max win. Derrick always gets the best partners every year. GO ERIN

Erin deserves to win. She has improved the most. Nicole is a ringer and shouldn't even be on the show. Evan also has an advantage being a skater. I Think I am done with this show unless next time they pick all non dancers.

I was so happy for Erin that she overcame her previous dance experience to do so well on the show. I decided to vote for Nicole, though. I thought her freestyle was better than the others despite the stumble at the end and I felt her dancing was more imaginative and she clearly wants to win this.

Bummed that lifts did Nicole in for BOTH dances.. no way were they really tied with Erin. I think Derek interpreted the end of the song as the end of the vocal.. because the music certainly continued. However, if you go back to Erin's last rumba how could Bruno give her the same score when she was said to be so much improved? It was odd that they did the "redemption" on a dance style where they had already gotten a pretty high score. Odd. I think they are determined that Erin will win or at least beat Evan. Why? Beats me. Only got two phones going, MagicJack sucked tonight, so those few votes went to Nicole and Derek. Don't consider Nicole any more of a ringer than Erin. Not sure why all of Erin's dance experience is ignored.. maybe because she wasn't so good at the beginning?

I join those who were totally thrown by the fact of only one hour tonight. They had kept promoting those "four dances" each; way disappointed that there weren't at least 3 dances each tonight. It's the first time this season that I wanted the show to go longer; usually I want it to be shorter! And also tricky was the fact they kept promoting the show following Dancing w/the Stars, BUT not announcing it's starting time! Just a side note: Interesting that Evan and Erin each brought in a guest choreographer, but Nichole/Derek didn't. They must have had that option. I still think Derek is one of the best choreographers around. That said, I enjoyed Erin the most tonight.

Well it would have been better at 2 hours or 1.5 but of course they were leading into the start of the new Bachelorette season. And of course once again, tomorrow they go against Biggest Loser finale and AI final. Grr.

I thought giving Evan 8's for his freestyle was ridiculous. Why don't they spare us the last two dances and just give Nicole the trophy they've been wanting to give her since the beginning? I didn't know who I wanted to win because I couldn't bring myself to care about this cast, but after seeing that I had to pick up the phone and start voting. Nicole was good, but for me that's a great big so what. She's always been good. She's been getting 10's since the second week. Erin has improved, and I thought about throwing her some votes, but Evan has improved as well and he and his partner didn't deserve to be given 8's and insulted like that. I also share the confusion as to why we're going to see Jake dance with Vienna instead of with Chelsea. It's like Trista and Ryan all over again. Then again, maybe this guarantees that Vienna won't be a contestant next season.

I'm getting really scared. I just read the ABC DWTS board and it sounds like most everyone is voting for Evan. IMHO he should definately come in 3rd. He's the one person I'd be upset to see win. He has never made a connection w/the audience (um, ME lol). And I've found his style to often be cold and pretty boring. I do like Anna, but that's not enough to get my votes. I've been scared the perception of training might backfire on Nicole. I do find it interesting that this years F3 are on a pretty level playing field experience wise. I really hope that thread is wrong and just full of one fanbase. I seldom go to that board so not sure how accurate it's been.

Oh forgot to add...Sea, at least it's the results show against the Idol performance show (luckily I got bored with Biggest Loser lol). IMHO it woud be FAR worse if the 2 final performance shows were against each other. Cause I'm one of those silly people who like to decide who I'm voting for after they perform and factor in their performances LOL!

I think the way they set it up puts the control in the judges hands, you get to vote on 2 dances and the judges get to vote on 4. That to me is cool, this is not America's favorite ballroom/latin dancer, so hopefully, when all kinds of people vote for the American olympic hero the judges can make it right. I want Erin to win the most because, she came in there green and grew, learned to dance. I loved their freestyle. I want Evan second because he grew but with his skating background he did have an advantage. I liked his freestyle it was fun. Nicole should not be on the show. I would still like to see Pam Anderson be there, she was really growing, too bad she has continuously have that facebook face on.

not crazy Ginger - early on they will tell us who is the 3rd place, then more filler before the last 3 min of the show when they will announce who gets the mirror ball... So I will watch BL for most of the hour then flip for the last 10 min back and forth between Fox, NBC, and ABC - bet they're glad I'm not a Nielson family!! LOL
