5/24 Finale Pt 1 - Show Discussion Thread **Spoilers**

[TVDude]

Maks with Erin on a bed. Looks like Maks is living out his fantasies on the dancefloor.

[ChelsieFan]

Not really fitting for this show. More of a SYTYCD type routine. It should still score fairly well.

Len says it was a risk, it sort of paid off, didn't love it. Bruno says it was a cycle of drama, put her heart and soul in it, loved some of the steps they pulled off. CA loved the choice.

[Broadway]

at Maks "That wasn't the bed we rehearsed on." Poor Erin was mortified.

Round one to Erin and Maks! hehe, not Nicole and Derek!

::sings:: Jesus loves me this I know... Because Erin and Maks got the higher score! Little ones to Him belong... Evan and Anna need to come on strong.

Okay so it doesn't quite rhyme, but hey... I'm HAPPY! I'm on the West Coast, working 2pm-10pm and my last break is at 8:45pm so I might get to see Evan's Freestyle (wheeee!) and prob. Nicole's. Just keep this DWTS info junkie hooked on her east coast fix, and I'll be a happy camper all night long!

I liked that, though parts of it looked sloppy. That last lift/spin scared the hell out of me.

Len gave it an 8? Sigh.

[karalott]

I'd like to see more freestyles like that. Less hip hop/flashy numbers.

Scores: 9/8/9

[ChelsieFan]

It's the finals and it's not like they can score you all that low at this point so in some ways the risk makes sense. I still think he could do a more traditional dance with her because she can dance. I think the props takes away from her natural ability.

Brooke "If you're passionate about any three of our contestants...." Um, Brooke....

at Maks "That wasn't the bed we rehearsed on." Poor Erin was mortified.

Tom says that was oversharing and the lamest excuse ever. Not sure if that's answering everyone's question about their romance, but that will be a freestyle remembered-and not for the wrong reasons.

Ooh, first fight between Evan/Anna.
