ABC kicked off a two-night ‘Dancing with the Stars’ finale on Monday, November 25 with four remaining celebrities and their pro partners competing for the mirror ball trophy.
Making it to the final week of competition: Corbin Bleu & Karina Smirnoff, Amber Riley & Derek Hough, Bill Engvall & Emma Slater and Jack Osbourne & Cheryl Burke.
Last season’s champion, country singer Kellie Pickler, made a guest appearance to perform her new single ‘Little Bit Gypsy’ from her latest album The Woman I Am. She was skillfully led during season 16 by elite pro Derek Hough, who previous won the competition with Brooke Burke, Nicole Scherzinger and Jennifer Grey.
Week 11 Night 1 featured a Judges’ choice, a Samba relay and a Freestyle. The leaderboard looked like this at the end of the trio of routines: Amber & Derek 64, Corbin & Karina 62, Jack & Chery 57 and Bill & Emma 51.
Standup comic Bill Engvall, low man on the totem pole throughout the season, finally reached the end of the line with viewers and was eliminated.
Tuesday night will be the final opportunity for the three remaining pairs to strut their stuff for the judges. One of them will be hoisting the mirror ball trophy before this day is over. It should be interesting and seems like a dead heat right now between Amber and Corbin with Jack as the dark horse. Will his fan base come through?
