Ok so
now there are 3.I
think it will be Jordan for the win with Lindsey second and
Frankie third. This
is hard because I like both Jordan and Lindsey. So
who to choose. I think I would really have to go with
Jordan
 'Dancing
with the Stars' Recap: The Final 4 Perform Their
Freestyles
Monday,
November 20, 2017

Writer, BuddyTV
We've reached
the finals of Dancing
with the Stars season 25. Four couples remain and will
perform their Freestyles and Redemption
Dances, but only three will move on to the
last night of competition with a chance to win the Mirror
Ball Trophy.



There's
Jordan Fisher , the clear frontrunner from the first night
who's been on top of the leaderboard more than anyone
else. Lindsey Stirling has been his closest competition,
anchored by the amazing choreography of Mark Ballas .
Frankie Muniz was the surprise dark horse, someone whose
dedication and positive attitude are infectious. And then
there's Drew Scott , who is also in the finals by the
grace of God.


Will
the Freestyles help to crystallize who will be the winner?
And who will go home?



LIVE...from
Hollywood...this is my Dancing
with the Stars live blog!

Drew Scott and Emma Slater: Paso Doble

Bruno
Tonioli wants them to redeem their Action film Paso that was
a total mess. He wants better artistry and timing. It's
definitely a huge improvement as he's not wild and out
of control. He does a great job with the shaping, though it
doesn't quite have enough attitude for me. Still,
it's much better than anything else he's done. The
judges call it his best dance, but there was a small foot
fault.

Judges'
Scores: 9+9+9+9=36

He
has still yet to get a 10.

Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson: Foxtrot

Carrie
Ann Inaba wants them to redo their very first dance, with a
solo to test Frankie's confidence. It's a cute and
charming performance that captures their adorable debonair
style. He's still not on par with Jordan or Lindsey,
technically, but he's a delightful joy to watch. The
judges love his essence and Julianne Hough praises his
transformation into a manly man.

Judges'
Scores: 10+9+10+9=38

The
female judges love Frankie.

Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold: Charleston

Len
Goodman wants them to redo their Guilty Pleasures dance that
got 9s from the other two judges, but a 7 from Len. Len
wants them to do more traditional Charleston moves. Hot
damn, this routine had everything. Fast footwork, tons of
bounce and smooth, sexy swagger. He's definitely
bringing his best for the finale. The judges rave about how
amazing it was, as they should.

Judges'
Scores: 10+10+10+10=40

Jordan
has now joined Nick Carter as the only male stars to earn
six perfect scores in a single season.

Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas: Quickstep


Julianne Hough wants them to redo their style from Ballroom
Night in week 2, their only routine to get less than an 8
from Len all season long. The routine is inspired by Swing
music and it's fine, but it doesn't quite have the
same distinctive personality as the other dances we've
seen. The dancing was very good, technically, but I wanted
to see more of who Lindsey is. The judges love her control
and speed, with Len calling it "awesome."

Judges'
Scores: 10+10+10+10=40

I'm
pretty sure Mark thanked the judges for the 10s before the
scores were actually revealed. That was weird.

Drew
and Emma's Freestyle

Emma
wants to do something different and celebrate Drew's
quirkiness and his journey. Neither one of them can believe
that they're in the finals, and Emma wants a second
Mirror Ball to make them kiss and force Sasha Farber to walk
by them every day. It's a big group Swing dance with a
lot of troupe members to hide Drew's lack of dance
ability. There's a very funny moment where they stop in
the middle for a break. It's kind of fun, but his
dancing isn't great, even if the routine itself kind of
points that out. There are also some ugly lifts. The judges
love the entertainment, but Carrie Ann points out that he
wasn't in sync with the big group.

Judges'
Scores: 9+10+10+0=39

Over
the past six seasons, Drew joins Jana Kramer as the only
star who failed to get a perfect score for his Freestyle.
But at least he finally got some 10s.

Frankie
and Witney's Freestyle

She
originally wanted to do something powerful, but the
producers urged her to embrace Frankie's fun side. She
stuck with her gut and ignored the producers. Good for her.
It's an intense, Paso-inspired routine that is very
strong. I get the producers' concerns because it's a
different, darker side of him, but it works. He has the
power and it embraces the manly side of him, not the boyish
fun. The judges appreciate that it was out of the box and
very dramatic and moody, though Carrie Ann says he lost some
steam.

Judges'
Scores: 9+9+10+10=38

Wow,
another non-perfect Freestyle. But this routine and
Frankie's story stands out and it might be enough to
push him to the win. Viewers may not like the idea that the
producers were trying to tell them what to do.

Jordan
and Lindsay's Freestyle

Lindsay
knows that Jordan is her best partner, so she wants to put
everything into it with flips, tricks, stunts and lighting
cues. The routine is certainly jam-packed with content and
there are a lot of solos for Jordan to show off his moves.
This Freestyle truly is a celebration of Jordan's
immense talent and Lindsay really put the spotlight on him.
The judges are in awe of what he can do.

Judges'
Scores: 10+10+10+10=40

That
makes seven perfect scores for him, just one away from the
all-time record of eight held by Bindi Irwin and Laurie
Hernandez .

Lindsey
and Mark's Freestyle

They
are playing conductors of an orchestra with a quirky spin,
showing off her love of music. The routine is powerful and
intense, a better version of what Frankie and Witney were
going for. There's a brilliant segment where she plays
the violin while dancing, even while being lifted. This is
hands-down the Freestyle of the Night! If this round really
does decide everything, she could've just won.

Judges'
Scores: 10+10+10+10=40

A
well-deserved perfect score.

THE
RESULTS

Only
three will move on to the last night of the competition,
getting the chance to perform two more routines for more
points, more votes and the Mirror Ball Trophy.

The
first couple IN THE FINALS is...Jordan and Lindsay!
The
second couple IN THE FINALS is...Lindsey and Mark!
The
third couple IN THE FINALS is...Frankie and Witney!

Drew Scott and Emma Slater ARE ELIMINATED!

That's
the correct decision. They were fine, but making it this far
is amazing for them. And now we're heading into a finale
where I genuinely believe anyone can win. Seriously, all
three of them have an excellent case for victory.

THE
LEADERBOARD

80:
Jordan Fisher , Lindsey Stirling
76:
Frankie Muniz

Who
had your favorite Freestyle?

The
Dancing
with the Stars season 25 finale airs Tuesday at 9/8c on
