Paige is a really good dancer, however, I was very disappointed to see she has dance experience.

I think it'll end up Nyle/Paige/Ginger in that order- it'll be up to the audience votes (the judges will punt as they usually do in the finals unless someone makes a major mistake)

Honestly Nessie, you would be hard pressed to find anyone that qualifies to be on this show that has not had some dancing experience. And considering some of the other people that have competed, her 10 years of dancing experience 10 years ago is nothing. I mean look at Jennifer Gray, Corbin Bleu (he was on Broadway), and Nicole Scherzinger, just to name a few. And I am about the same age as Paige and danced for about the same time she did, and if I was on DWTS it would not have benefited me as much as you would think. Within a couple of months I lost my flexibility and within a year I lost pretty much all of my technique. Like anything else, you use it or lose it, especially after 10 years.
And what the producers are neglecting to mention is that Ginger danced for her college drill team, and you do not get to that point without dancing most of your life. She has more experience than Paige, but what I said above still applies. It will come back easier to Ginger though because she danced more and more recently, comparatively, than Paige.

I would be happy with any of the three winning. I like all of them and have enjoyed watching their growth throughout the season.

I agree. I'm kind of cheering for Paige but I like this final three.

It's a good final 3, but I think Nyle will win.

As much as I admire Nyle, I don't want him to win. He's come a long way despite his disability, but he's not the best dancer. I want the best dancer to win. But I won't be upset if he does.

I would like to see the pros dance together in couples in a non-coregraphed dance like normal folks dance. I think that would interesting to see.

What makes me a bit sad about Nyle.. but not for him, since he's certainly enjoying life and the changes in it..
but I always kind of hate seeing a person who had an actual career starting up (in his case as a teacher) and reality tv lures them away.
Of course, for him, I totally understand being lured away and at this point he probably will reach more of the deaf community this way but some students, and for years to come, have lost someone who probably was a really engaging, motivated and motivating teacher.
And I have to accept, I guess, that "reality star" is now sort of a career.. ugh.
I'm on Team Paige. I have just loved seeing her learn about another side to her, softer, having to trust someone.. and she's really good and engaging.
I do like Ginger, but she has a great career and family.. I mean, her husband clearly adores her..
So I think the win would be so meaningful to Paige. (and I think she's the best dancer/performer too).
But it is a good final three.

Babyjaxmom, I agree with you about Nyle. It is amazing with what he has accomplished, but he is definitely not the best dancer out there.

Ophiliasgrandma -- what you want to see is a Jack N Jill -- where dancers are paired up randomly by drawing and then songs are assigned randomly. It's a pure pleasure to watch them pull tricks out of their memory and see how well they can lead and follow when it's not all choreographed.
Nyle is not the best dancer, but he may be the sentimental favorite. I predict a win for him.

It is a nice final three, although I was hoping Wanya would make the finals based upon his great performances Monday night. Too bad the vote was based on his previous bad week. I am rooting for a Paige win. I like how far she has come. My mom is rooting for Ginger as she adores her.
I'd like to see... Paige win, Nyle second, and Ginger third.

In all fairness, Nyle is or has been on Switched at Birth which is/was a Disney show. I think the show is now on Freeform. Ginger really is the "employee of the month". Wonder if GMA will be live from LA this week?

I think Ginger gets a bad rap just because she works at ABC. Over the years there have been so many people on ABC shows, from soaps to Bachelor. In fact, the first winner was on an ABC soap.

Seems Ginger may not be dancing due to an injury. She injured her pelvis and is suffering from back spasms as a result. They used a stand in for stage blocking today as Ginger is on forced rest and will see a doctor again tomorrow.

I don't think it is Ginger but there is some thought that Ginger was kept by judges overscoring her. I'm not sure I feel that way personally but I don't think they underscored her!
That would be sad for her to come so far and be that injured  But maybe she can dance after all.
I hope I'm able to watch in time to vote for Paige.. I just REALLY like her and I think she is what the show is all about (for me).

Ginger is such a sweet girl. I hope she get to perform. I hate it when a celeb on the show gets injured.

There was a video on people magazine's website that had Ginger coming out of the make-up trailer with her make-up done. Suffice to say she'll be dancing tonight.

I would love to see a Ginger or Paige win, but doubt it because Nyle has been the favorite for obvious reasons. I would love it if I was wrong though. Actually, I think I will check the spoilers first. If Nyle wins then I won't bother watching.

I'll be happy with whoever nabs the win.
Although I think Niles is extraordinarily gifted. I always rewatch his dances with the Mute button to experience it from his point of view. Like I said, extraordinary!
I really like Ginger's personality, especially her smile. I'm drawn to warm, bubbly people. And I enjoy her dancing.
Took me a while to warm up to Paige, but her story captivated me and tugs at my heart. And I enjoy her dancing.
