Details

Written by Sammi

Hello and welcome to the Dancing With The Stars Grand Finale on ABC.   In two short hours one of our final four dancers will be crowned the season sixteen champion. Will your favorite win? Let's find out!

Before we begin, I want to send our thoughts and prayers to those impacted by the tornadoes in Oklahoma.

The show opens with a great number reuniting the entire cast. It is so much fun and so energetic. I love it!

We get a recap of last night's dances and told that the Red Cross will help those devastated by the tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Kellie and Derek get the encore and just like last night, it made me cry. I said it last night and I will say it again. It is the best freestyle in the history of the show….point, period, blank.


The judges give their commentary on last night's dances.

The abc.com votes will not count since the system was down for part of the country.

The couple in fourth place is….Aly and Mark. They did well this season and should be commended on a job well done. They do one last dance and say goodbye.

 

The top three females and the pros all do a dance together and then we get more season flashbacks. I forgot some of these moments, so it is good to see them again!

Wynonna Judd sings I Want To Know What Love Is, which is a lovely surprise. Tony and Peta dance. It is beautiful to watch and reminds me of why I love them.

Lisa Vanderpump and Gleb reprise their foxtrot. She seems more relaxed tonight, maybe because she isn't being judged? Len cuts in to dance with her, which has to be the most epic thing ever….not to mention an honor.

Tristan is injured and can't dance, so Dorothy dances with Henry. They should have him as a full time pro, he is so talented and very cute. Kristi Yamaguchi, the season six champion joins them and it makes the dance even more special.

 

Andy Dick and Sharna do a hilarious skit with him returning for the trophy. I love him so much, he brought so much joy to this season. His jazz routine is even better the second time around. Had this been a freestyle, he could have won with it. The troupe joining them for the Alice in Wonderland theme was amazing!

Jacoby and Karina will do the salsa to Marc Anthony Water of the Nile. However, before we get to that, Psy performs with Andy, Sean and Victor joining him. This has got to be so much fun for them!


Kellie and Derek have the jive to Little Richard's Keep Knocking But You Can't Come In.

We get more flashbacks and then another group dance.

Zendaya and Val also have the jive.

Pitball performs and we get a look at some more behind the scenes moments.

 

Jacoby and Karina do their insta-salsa. It is fun and entertaining as usual, and always a joy!
Len: He is a breath of fresh air.
Bruno: Charisma, showmanship and he will watch him any time.
Carrie Ann: He proved why he is still here and a champion.
Scores: PERFECT SCORE

 

Kellie and Derek do their insta-jive next. It shows the very best of their talent and personalities. They are so cute and sweet….truly the Barbie and Ken of this season.
Bruno: He is screaming over how much he loves it and how much she is like Julianne Hough.
Carrie Ann: A perfect ending for the Wonder Twins.
Len: Clean, precise and sharp. Bee's knees, momma's pajamas, uncle's carbuncle and awesome.
Score: PERFECT SCORE

 

 
Zendaya and Val have the final instajive of the night and final dance of the season. They have such a youthful energy and spirit that they just shine on stage.
Carrie Ann: She is going to be sad to not see them anymore. They made every dance they did special.
Len: She dances with such maturity and puts character and personality into each dance.
Bruno: A massive hit with unique and individual style.
Scores: PERFECT SCORE.

 

Jessica Sanchez sings as we get a look at the final threes' best moments.

The couple in third place is……Jacoby and Karina. They get a montage and it is time to for them to say goodbye.

 

The time has come to announce the winner of season sixteen of Dancing With The Stars…the winners and new champions are……..KELLIE AND DEREK!!!! She was in shock….four for Derek Hough….good for you Derek Hough, you go Derek Hough! Congratulations to our new winners and to Zendaya and Val for all their hard work and all they accomplished.

Everyone runs out to congratulate our winners and join us next season in September! Goodnight!
