According to People.com who profiled the three finalists ahead of tonight’s telecast: “Deaf and with no dance background, fans didn’t know what to expect from DiMarco”. Carrie Ann: “That is a attractive way to end the season (Carrie Ann does sign language to Nyle), thank you for showing us your lovely heart to us when you dance”. Who are you rooting for?
The remaining three dancing couples includin Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd, Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas and Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy will be back for another round in the second night of Dancing with the Stars Season Finale. Former DWTS champions are on hand to witness tonight’s victor, Bindi Irwin, Shawn Johnson and Emmitt Smith.
ABC has revealed that for the season finale of DWTS, finalists will perform a third routine dubbed the 24-hour fusion challenge on tonight’s show.
On to the musical guests, Fifth Harmony sings and performs to “All In My Head”.
While all three final dancers share the mirrorball trophy in our hearts, we’d like to wish Nyle congratulations and to say thank you for all of the tears you helped us shed all season long. They also earned a ideal score for the dance, and Ballas was brought to tears when they talked to the judges. “You transformed from a weather girl to a true leading lady”, Bruno Tonioli told Ginger. Judge Len Goodman said that DiMarco showed the only boundaries are the ones we put on ourselves. “I think we couldn’t have had a better night”.

Nyle and Peta combined cha cha and tango and earned tens from all the judges, whose effusions brought Nyle to tears. “You have set the standard from day one of the competition, and you continue to set the standard”.
