Julianne Hough is sitting in for brother Derek on the judges' panel, but Derek will make his own remote appearance.
Enjoy the show!

I’ll be checking the spoilers before watching. If it’s not JoJo or Amanda who win, I won’t bother to watch the episode.

Interesting how during the "remembrance" song, showing highlights of the season, there were several of Tyra's weird costumes featured. Hmmm. Those weren't highlights!
The dancers did well during their first round. Iman got a 40, and there was a lot of talk of being the underdog, but then Julianne said she never considered him an underdog. Derek did Zoom in and said he's feeling good, turned a corner.

Cody's freestyle was wild; all the judges all compliment him on being himself, letting his freak flag fly, being flamboyant, and how awesome it was. I didn't really care for it, and wouldn't have given it a 40. But, they all seem to love it, so I'm not seeing something they are.

Amanda looked great in her freestyle, though there was a mess up at one point. Of course, the judges don't notice that and she gets all 10s, which is fine with me because it was a lot more fun to watch than Cody's!
Carrie Ann is emotional tonight, sounding overly dramatic each time she speaks. It's annoying me.

JoJo's dance was a lot of fun to watch, and they did an amazing job at it.
It was awesome, too, how the pro back up dancers also danced with a same sex partner for part of it.
JoJo gives Carrie Ann hope for the future: we're going to be okay....
And they get the 10s, naturally.

In 4th place, Amanda! (awww)
In 3rd place, Cody. (okay with me)
Winners and new champions: Iman!!! (wow)
I am very surprised JoJo lost. Tyra really seemed overjoyed by Iman's win.

I'm disappointed that JoJo didn't win. I felt she was definitely the best dancer. At least it wasn't Cody.
Iman's Freestyle didn't impress me at all. But of all the finalists he definitely did improve the most & was a great dancer. All in all, he was a very good winner.
As good as she was, JoJo was the kind that never would have made it in early seasons. Way too much dance experience in her background. I've never really cared for the show casting ringers. But I really liked her anyhow.
I think ringers is the direction this show is going, but not with me.

We’ll, poo I guess that saves me two hours. I’ll watch JoJo’s and Amanda’s routines later on YouTube. Here’s hoping the ABC execs come to their senses before next season and give Tyra the boot! (A girl can hope!)

I thought Cody's freestyle was outrageously fun! I enjoyed it more than anything else that he did all season.
While JoJo is the better dancer, I wasn't mad that Iman won. He did a good job and improved a lot throughout the season, and it's damn hard to look good doing the dances when you're that tall. Daniella's choreography was amazing. She definitely made them both look the best they could dancing together. I really enjoyed their freestyle.
I hated, though, how JoJo and Jenna just vanished at the end. They did such a great job and really deserved to be celebrated, too!

I totally forgot it was on..my gf sent me a text saying Tyra looked like a lemon meringue pie.. Congrats Daniella, great choreography..

If you asked me weeks ago I would have sworn that the finals would contain 4 women celebs. Interesting that Iman and Cody did make it but I am happy as neither were dancers as the two women were.
I had mentioned that I did like Iman a few weeks back so I was pleased for him. The four free style dances were all great and so distinctively different. I remember that at some point Cody was asked if he had been given the option of dancing with a man and he said that it was never a part of the discussions.....so I thought that DWTS was not quite fair in their big publicity push for the female duo. I also thought that Iman was given a huge disadvantage by giving him such a small partner....both men dealt with their circumstances.
I do think that Cody's free style was an "in-your-face" of who he was and maybe a statement as to how he was not treated the same as Jojo…..but regardless of any motives it was a fun dance.
I do have to say that it was not only Tyra's costumes that were poorly done and over the top. The lighting was pretty hard to take last night. It totally distracted from some of the routines as the brightness and the shadows caused by the brightness made it hard to see the actual dancing. I also was not a fan of backup dancers.
Another season in the books. Hope some changes come about next year....but oh well, I am in it for the dancing.

I had trouble finding the contestant dancers. Instead of enjoying the dances I spent a lot of my time hunting for which ones were the contestant & their pro. The only one who stood out was Iman, simply because of his height, but the backup dancers were still distracting.

I've looked back over the years they were such fun..
