Hey guys! Welcome to my final DWTS recap of the year. This week, there were two rounds of competition - fusion and freestyle. So, let's get into it.

First, the fusion dances:

Dance - Paso Doble/Viennese Waltz

Song - "Never Tear Us Apart" by Bishop Briggs

Scores - 9, 10, 9, 10 = 38/40

My score - 9

This was incredible and Amanda looked amazing! As for the viennese waltz, that part was spot on. However, for the paso doble, I feel like some of the movements could've been a little bit sharper.

Dance - Paso Doble/Cha Cha

Song - "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue

Scores - 9, 9, 9, 9 = 36/40

My score - 9

This was a great dance. However, I feel like some of Cody's footwork was a little flatfooted and a bit stompy. However, I still loved it.

Dance - Tango/Cha Cha

Song - "I Love It" by Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX

Scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40

My score - 10

Of course, Jojo killed it once again. I'm not gonna lie, every single one of her dances this season has been such serves and this was no different. Again, literal perfection.

Song - "A Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay

Scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40

My score - 10

Literally, how could Amanda's freestyle possibly be bad. She's slayed every single performance this season so I knew her freestyle wouldn't be any different. She looked amazing and this freestyle was also amazing.

Song - "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga

Scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40

My score - 10

Just like Amanda's, I knew this was gonna be fire because as I said before, Jojo has killed every single dance this season. The tricks and the footwork - omg I'm obsessed.

Song - "Lose Control" by Missy Elliott ft. Ciara & Fat Man Scoop/"Bounce" by DJ Clent

Scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40

My score - 10

YES YES YES THIS WAS SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I have to agree with judges when I say that in all of my 10 years of watching this show, I can confidently say that this is probably the best, if not, one of the best freestyles in the history of this show. I'm still speechless. I also have to say that Daniella is the literal queen of lifts.
