TV IN HIGH HEELS: DANCING WITH THE STARS RECAP FOR NOVEMBER 22, 2016
Hello and welcome to Dancing With The Stars on ABC. Tonight is THE GRAND FINALE. A winner will be crowned for season 23. Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are hosting, Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Julianne Hough are judging.
We open with a Christmas themed group number that reunites our entire season’s cast. It is goo to see everyone back and everyone is so cute. This final three is all athletes, which is a DWTS first.
We get a recap of last night’s highlights and best moments, along with people reprising their favorite dances, including Babyface and Allison dancing to Andy Grammar singing. However, the best is Vanilla Ice reprising Ice Ice Baby with Rick Perry. I think I am in love with the both of them now. Best. Bromance. EVER!!!!!!!!
BabyFace and one of the DWTS singers perform while several pros dance.
The male pros dance and it is cute, silly, fun and sexy all in one.
More fun moments, including the Sasha/Emma proposal, which is one of the best moments in the show’s history.
Jana and Gleb do their Argentine Tango again and it is just as sexy as the first go-round.
Terra and Marilu dance with the troupe and it is adorable AF.
We have more highlights and Christmas themed dancing, which starts to put me in the holiday spirit.
SQUEE! There is a new DWTS tour and I hope it is coming near me, those tours are the best thing ever.
Finally we get to see our final three dance one last time.
