Tonight is the night! This is the second part to the finals! For those of us who have been fans throughout the season, this is the night we have been waiting for. At the end of the two hour finale, there will be one couple standing and they will win the coveted mirror ball trophy.

I love the finale shows. They are one big party and they bring back all the cast members from this season, celebrity and professional. We are able to see if and how the couples that were voted off in the previous weeks may have improved since they left the show. What do you love most about the finale shows?

Tonight is the first part of the finals for this season of Dancing With The Stars. This is first of the nights that we have all been waiting for. Each of the remaining couples: Karina & Jacoby, Val & Zendaya, Kellie & Derek and Aly & Mark will have the chance to dance THREE dances this evening. After they dance, the viewers will have one more last chance to vote for their favorite couple. Will your favorite couple bring their “A Game” and win the coveted mirror ball trophy tomorrow night? We are about to see them all dance their hearts out one last time….

At the top of the show, we find out that Val had been injured an hour previous to show time during the last rehearsal. He has nasty gashes, on his face, but he is all patched up and ready to go. How do you think this will affect his and Zendaya’s performance tonight? Or will they be able to get past it?

Welcome to tonight’s show, the 300th episode of Dancing With The Stars! Tonight we go from five to four couples. These couples will move on to next week’s FINALS! Our couples have improved so much over the course of the competition. Some have improved more than others, but since they made it to tonight, they deserve to be here. But tonight we need to say good-bye to one of these couples. Who will it be? We are about to find out….

Tonight’s show starts on an energetic note. We are treated to a dance from the professionals, past and present. They are also joined by members of the Dancing With The Stars Troupe. What did you think of it? Have you ever thought “how do the professionals do it” – putting together and dancing a routine (or two) with their celebrity and then having to dance another one that had to be put together and practiced during the week? It is a lot of work, that is for sure and I didn’t think there was enough hours in the day to do it all.

Tonight we continue the journey to next week’s finals. We have seen so many great, and not so great, couples leave us during the course of the competition and are down to the five remaining couples that will, by the end of tomorrow night’s results show, be whittled down to three. Those three couples will compete next week for the coveted mirror ball trophy! Are there any thoughts on who that could be?

We also see tonight the new dances styles, which you the Twitter followers, voted on. What will happen and how will they do with the judges? We are about to find out. Let’s get this show started, shall we?

Tonight is the results from last night’s Quarter Finals. Tonight we find out who will go on to the Semi-Finals. Who will go home tonight? We are about to find that out!

As usual, we start the night off with the Dancing The Stars Dance Troupe and the professionals. I love watching this. These dancers work their butts off all week, but they make it look so easy, don’t you agree?

This week we see things ramp up. There are two dances this week: a couples’ dance and a trio challenge where a member of the DWTS Dance Troupe or an eliminated professional will join in the dance with each couple. Next week is the Semi-Finals, so the dances will be a lot more competitive than they have up to any point this season. Will they be able to handle it or will they buckle under the pressure? We are about to find out!

Latin night continues tonight with the results show. Last night’s show was a great one and I am sure that tonight will impress as well. Do you have any thoughts on who may be the one to go home tonight? Let’s get things started and see what happens!

Tonight starts off with the professionals dancing to Harry Belafonte’s “Shake, Shake Senora.” It was a great song to start the night off to, don’t you think? I think of the movie Beetlejuice every time I hear it. Does it ever remind you of anything?

This week’s show theme is Latin: Latin music and Latin dancing. I love this kind of music as well as the dancing that surrounds it. I think we are in for a treat this week. What do you think? Is there anything that you are looking forward to possibly seeing? Shall we see what tonight has to bring? Let’s get it started!

This week, as we find out, the highest scoring (overall judge score) couple after the first dance will receive immunity. The others will have a dance off to earn extra judges points. These points will be added to what they already earned and could help them not be eliminated this week. So this means that each couple will have to learn three dances this week. That is a lot, but I think they can do it. Don’t you think so?

Tonight is the results show for week five and “Dancing Side By Side” with the professionals. As time goes on, we see that the couples with the celebrities are doing so much better (for the most part). It is getting so much harder to tell who will be sent home each week. Who will be sent home tonight? We are about to find out!

We start off tonight’s show with a dance with more of an out of this world feel. It even looked as if they were dancing on another planet, possibly the moon from the look of the dance floor. I have to say I was not a huge fan of the music, the out of this world look or the dancing. What is your take on it? Did you like it? What was your favorite part, if you had one? If you didn’t like it, why not?

Tonight’s show begins on a somber note. Tom (who is from Boston) and Brooke extend the thoughts and prayers of all those at Dancing With The Stars to those that are affected by today’s tragic bombings in Boston at the Boston Marathon.

But we go back to business now. The couple with the celebrity prepares to dance side by side with a returning professional couple. How does this work? The returning professional couple will start first, and the couple with the celebrity will join in, doing the same choreography at the same time. It will end with the couple with the celebrity. Tonight should be an interesting night. What do you think of this?
