DWTS 31, Finale Recap

Hey guys! Welcome to my final DWTS recap of the year. I hate that this season is already over. It went by so fast.

Anyway, let's get into it. There were two rounds of competition - the redemption round and a freestyle round.

First, the redemption round.



Shangela & Gleb

Dance - Quickstep

Song - "Queen Bee" by Rochelle Diamante

Judges' scores - 9, 9, 9, 9 = 36/40

My score - 9

This was amazing and it was a massive improvement from last time. However, I just feel like some of the footwork was a bit sloppy to me.

Check out their dance:



Wayne & Witney

Dance - Quickstep

Song - "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" by Jackie Wilson

Judges' scores - 9, 9, 9, 9 = 36/40

My score - This was good but I felt that it was pretty skippy and they were out of sync a little bit but it was better than last time so that's good.

Check out their dance:



Charli & Mark

Dance - Jive

Song - "Grown" by Little Mix

Judges' scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40

My score - 9.5

This was incredible and I loved the fits. However, I just feel like it wasn't as good as some of her previous dances.
