Did you watch last week? Did you see me in the balcony? I was so there! I loved my experience on set and that is what this post is all about! Who do you want to see win? Tonight is the first night of the 2 night finale! I loved that when I was there no one got sent home. Not one couple left. Unfortunately for Tamar,she was still hospitalized as of last Tuesday when I was there. But because of her having to bow out for the rest of the series no one was sent home. Are you Team Carlos? Team Alex? Team Nick? Team Bindi? There’s three here that I really enjoy. I’m not going to tell you who I’m willing to let go though. lol Who are you rooting for? Will you be watching tonight? Are you prepared to see who wins the Mirrorball trophy tomorrow night? I. Can’t. Wait.
Check out my Dancing with the Stars experience in pictures!
This is just me getting ready at the hotel in my totally rad dancing with the stars dress! Can you believe that was my mom’s dress? Yeah, she’s awesome.
Before the show they have a dance party on the floor! How fun is that? We got to whip and nae nae and we did the cupid shuffle.
We had to get to our seats so they could get ready!
One last photo of my friends and I at dancing with the stars! We were waiting
for the show to start.
Before they start the show they do promos and you’d think that they are done
during the week. But no… they are done on the floor right before the show starts.
It was cool to watch.
This is where the stars are interviewed after they dance.

After the show was over we got to go back to the floor and get our picture made with the stars. Tom Bergeron took the time to get our name and shake our hands. He called us a bevvy of blogging beauties. 🙂 He was fun. Here’s the photo of us he posted on instagram.
It was so exciting being there live. Afterwards we went to a local club and had dinner and drinks. While we were there Alek walked in. On our way out Carlos came by to say hi too! Here’s our pic with Alek Skarlotas.
Yes he’s got his arm around me…
why do you ask?
It was such a fun and amazing experience! Did I leave anything you wanted to know out? Leave me a comment and I’ll try to answer your questions. BTW we did go backstage and while there we saw Alfonso Ribeiro, Romeo, Val, Bindi and Derek. It was surreal.

Musical Performers Include Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor,
Nick Carter, Andy Grammer and More
The Season 21 Champion Will Be Declared on Tuesday, November 24
“Episode 2111 & 211A” – After weeks of competitive dancing, the final four couples advance to the FINALS of “Dancing with the Stars” this MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET). Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold, Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough, Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson, and Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess have one last night of competitive dancing, fighting to win the judges’ and America’s votes to be crowned the “Dancing with the Stars” champion on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
On Monday, November 23 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), the finalists will compete in two rounds of dance. In the first round, one judge will help each couple choose the creative elements of each dance, which is a re-do to a new song. Carrie Ann Inaba will work alongside Linsday and Alek, as well as Bindi and Derek. Julianne Hough is with Nick and Sharna, and Bruno Tonioli is with Carlos and Witney. In the second round, in one of the biggest competitive dances of the season, the couples take on a freestyle dance featuring special effects, additional dancers and unexpected surprises. There will be special performances from Meghan Trainor, singing “Like I’m Gonna Lose You,” and Who Is Fancy, Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor performing “Boys Like You.” At the end of the night, the couple with the lowest combined viewer and judge votes from the previous two weeks will be eliminated.
In the two-hour season finale on Tuesday, November 24 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), the three finalists advance to the final stage of the competition. There will be live dancing and show-stopping performances at the Grove shopping center and in the DWTS ballroom. The night kicks off with a high-energy opening number, featuring a reunion of all 13 of this season’s couples at the Grove. The finale will be filled with performances from Alexander Jean, Andy Grammer, Chaka Khan, Elle King and Nick Carter. Kim Zolciak returns to the ballroom to dance a Samba with Tony Dovolani to “I Dream of Jeannie,” which she was never able to perform, along with encore dances from the eliminated celebrities. The cast of the upcoming “Dancing with the Stars: Live! Dance All Night Tour” will perform a dance to Avicii’s “Broken Arrows” as a sneak peak of the 90-minute show traveling the country this winter. The three finalists will each dance a repeat dance from this season. In the last element of competition, the couples will perform a new routine as part of a “24-Hour Fusion Challenge.” The remaining couples will fuse two contrasting dance styles that they’ve performed this season and they’ll have less than 24 hours to prepare that dance for judges’ points. At the end of the night, the winner of the coveted Mirrorball trophy will be announced!
