The end is near, friends.
Dancing with the Stars is quickly heading towards its finale, and tonight the contestants were whittled down to the final five. While this is usually the point at which the season can go off in some crazy and incorrect direction, Marilu and Derek heading home was probably the correct result.
Marilu has never been a bad dancer, but the tension between them has been occasionally uncomfortable, and all of the other stars are better than she is at this point, which is fine. This final five is going to be a tough race!
Let’s talk about the dances:
Calvin and James: 37/40
Gonna be honest here, it wasn’t easy to get through a dance featuring two of our biggest DWTS crushes, but somehow we lived to see the entirety of their wild west paso doble fight, and we loved it.
Marilu and Terra: 36/40
This felt exactly like what Terra and Marilu do every week, but that’s not to say it wasn’t a good time. That giant dress gag was great!
Jana and Laurie: 40/40
We’re suckers for Sia and for these two ladies, so this was kind of perfection.
Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
