Tonight only three remain.

Wait, I thought I left the sob stories behind on X-factor.

Only one will reach the end of the road and crowned champion.

This is the best on yet?

With the season 13 cast at the end.

Dancing Away With My Heart

Favorite dances of the season

Got a 29 last time. Psycho Tango.

Tom loves that one.

Len. This is one of the most memorable dances of the season. First time around really liked it, loved it second time around.

Bruno. Grand cinematic extravaganza. Unforgetable.

Carrie Ann. Last woman standing, everything it could have been beyond perfect this time.

The Fox Trot dedicated to Rob's Dad. Fix what was wrong the first time.

Fly Me To The Moon.

Nice job, can see so much improvement from earlier this season.

Bruno. Really have improved beyond expectations, made the hiccup look charming.

Carrie Ann. This elegance and refinement, looks like it just comes easy for you now.

Len. Little slip doesn't mean anything. Best foot work of any guy on this show. Musicality, have grown as a dancer and in so many ways.

Scores after everyone completes this round.

Combine the first three scores with the votes and give us the final two for the last dance.

The Jive, but have to fix the lindy and take out the lift. 22 last time around.

Jump Jive and Wail.

Pretty good, but JR doesn't seem to be as good as I remember, don't know why, wonder if that injury really got to him.

Carrie Ann. Such a catalyst for joy. Inspire us all, but saw a few what woos. Missed the lift.

Len. The one thing that is consistent is the band and singer. Did exactly what I asked you to do. Such a sparkling personality.

Bruno. Energetic fast paced, fun fun fun. I loved it.

Rank them

1st get 30
2nd get 28
3rd get 26 (I think)

then add them in and give us the top two for the final dance.

Not unanimous, come to a decision.

Rob third
JR second
Ricki First

Really?

Ricki in the lead with 84
Rob with 83
JR with 82

They must really want Ricki in the final two, or to win.

Who is in third place.

Derek looks smug.

The couple in third place is...

Ricki and Derek.

*applauds*

And Derek, as your first gift upon your temporary return to reality, allow me to present you with this very overdue slap in the face.

Rob in the Final 2? Really? Thank you, Derek, for making all the dances about you so that people vote against you and put Rob?!? in the Final 2!!!

Which one has what it takes.

Brook in the Sky box with the final two.

Shake your Bon Bon

Each get a baby mirror ball.

JR first
Rob second

for the instant samba.

Ron Artest and Peta
Elizabetta and Val.

And we remember why they were gone too soon.

They were really bad, weren't they? George definitely ended up with the better dancer.

New Routine.

Who is that other guy with them.

Long Tall Sally

Was that the guy from the Troupe that does all the gymnastics?

Doing the Mission Impossible dance again. The one she missed a move on and got lost.

Ballroom courage on display, shot at redemption.

Dancing to Vogue by Madonna.

Gets to dance with a Chmerkovskiy

Has several people dancing back up.

After the break

Did Anna fall in the beginning or was she supposed to do that?

It looked like she fell.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Is that Schwimmer Dad playing bar tender.

I like 'em Chunky. LOL

And dancing with Chaz and Lacey.

and the troupe.

That was fun.

Need You Now

LAST EDITED ON 11-22-11 AT 11:44 PM (EST)

Oh goody! My most favourite song *rolls eyes*. At least I get to hear the whole song instead of the 15 second clip they play at every major awards ceremony for the past 3 years.

Valarie

Now I am torn, do I continue in this thread and find out who wins before it is aired in my time zone, or do I back out of the thread quietly?

I say continue reading this thread..(like I'm doing since I'm working)..and then watch it in your time.. at least till you get to the part where Derek realizes he didn't make the finals..

creation by Agman

Cheat and read ahead like I do.

Just don't tell Mr. Qwerty. I am going to amaze him iwth my predictive abilities.

JR up first.

doing samba rolls.

Rob up next. Seems to be doing more dancing less standing while partner dances.

Len. Hardest of the latin dances, rarely do this, but stands up and gives a standing ovation for the lot of them.

Bruno. JR you can turn it on at will. Rob, you really learned how to use your bon bon. Now you are in orbit, both of you.

Carrie Ann. For one of you that was your victor dance, but both of you are winners. Both of you went for it.

Head up to the sky box.

Votes count for 1/2 the total.

Tom talking to the various stars.
Chynna nailing her dance.
Carson are you OK with Val (he says there is the after party)
Nancy says dancing on her show starting in January.

Final set of scores.

JR 10~10~10 total is 112/120
Rob 10~10~10 total is 113/120

Tom rubs falling just short of the final two in Derek's face, or at least that is how I want to hear it.

Heartbeat music....

After 10 weeks of competition the winners are...

...
...

JR and Karina

LAST EDITED ON 11-23-11 AT 00:03 AM (EST)

Yay!!! J.R. had 49.8% to Rob's 50.2% of the Judges vote, so it was almost even and decided by the viewer vote. Good for J.R.

woo-hoo!

congrats to them both.

what the heck was Rob Kardashian doing in the finale anyway?

Karma rewarding him for sticking him in THAT family?

So Happy for this wonderful youngman. Congratulations to JR and Karina, season 13 MBT winners!
