00:00:00Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life.

00:00:11Electric word life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time.

00:00:14But I'm here today, with something else.

00:00:19So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr. Smith, you're right.

00:00:24You can sit back and roll across the time, and you know what you don't mind, baby.

00:00:30Cause in this life, you think so much harder than the end of the world.

00:00:35In this life, you're yours.

00:00:40If the other man tries to break me down, I'm crazy.

00:00:46What did you ever know?

00:00:47Don't lie.

00:00:58What did you live in?

00:01:01Take a big round.

00:01:04At least you got friends.

00:01:05I called my own lady for a friendly word.

00:01:11She's a big duck, a phone, a phone, a church on the floor.

00:01:15That's all I heard.

00:01:17Come on, let me have a better breakfast.

00:01:20I don't know, let's go.

00:01:21Let's go crazy.

00:01:24Let's get nuts.

00:01:26Just look for the perfect man I did.

00:01:29Let's save the truck.

00:01:30Let's go.

00:01:31Please welcome your stars.

00:01:36Talmud TV actress Elaine Hendricks and Alan Burstyn.

00:01:41Social media personality Alex Earle and Val Tamarkovsky.

00:01:46From the secret lives of Mormon wives, Whitney Levitt and Mark Ballas.

00:01:56Olympic gold medalist Jordan Childs and Ezra Sonson.

00:01:59And wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and Whitney Carlson.

00:02:09And now, please welcome your hosts, Alfonso Rivero and Julianne House.

00:02:15Let's go crazy.

00:02:17Let's go.

00:02:18Let's go.

00:02:19Let's go.

00:02:19Let's go crazy.

00:02:22Let's get nuts.

00:02:24Let's look for the perfect man I did.

00:02:27But let's save the truck.

00:02:29Let's go.

00:02:37Let's go.

00:02:38Live from Hollywood, it's Prince Night for the semi-finals on Dancing with the Stars.

00:03:08Oh, we're going crazy for that opening number choreographed by Lu-Am.

00:03:18Oh, yeah.

00:03:20Welcome to the semi-finals and keep it going for our six semi-finalists.

00:03:25Tonight, they've got to perform two dances starring in a place in next week's season finale

00:03:30where they will compete for our Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

00:03:34That's right. And because it's Prince Night, the dances will be performed to the best-loved songs of this musical genius.

00:03:43Voting is open right now and is available to the U.S., its territories, and Canada at ABC.com.

00:03:49Plus, subscribers on participating U.S. wireless phone carriers can text the first name of their favorite star to the number 21523.

00:03:56Message and data rates may apply. You get 10 votes per couple per voting method.

00:04:01All right. Now, before we get into the competition, let's take a look at the phenomenal career of the legendary artists we're celebrating tonight.

00:04:14My name is Prince.

00:04:19And I've come to play with you.

00:04:21Prince didn't just play music. He embodied it.

00:04:33Prince showed us that music isn't just something you hear, it's something you feel.

00:05:03And tonight, we dance in his honor.

00:05:11What a remarkable showman.

00:05:17Now, we're presenting the songs of Prince in order.

00:05:20So we'll start with a Foxtrot to his first major hit single in 1979,

00:05:25I Want to Be Your Lover.

00:05:27It's film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix and her Alan Burster.

00:05:31Two weeks ago, you couldn't even dance, and here you are, giving it to Fly Girl Moves.

00:05:39Well done.

00:05:40Rise!

00:05:41I wasn't sure if I would make it with nines.

00:05:44So I am beside myself that I am in the semifinals.

00:05:49Elaine, we made it.

00:05:50We made it to the semifinals.

00:05:52It's something that I wanted and I've worked so hard for. I'm just elated.

00:05:56I'm so proud of you.

00:05:58Yeah, thanks.

00:05:59It is Prince night, which is iconic.

00:06:01I grew up on Prince, and he was just such a showman.

00:06:05He knew how to command the stage.

00:06:07All eyes were on him, and that's what we've got to do.

00:06:10Exactly.

00:06:11So I like the idea of stepping into those shoes.

00:06:13We've got to get these tans. We've got to make it into the finale.

00:06:16Yeah, I want that.

00:06:17Let's go.

00:06:18A little bit more like Prince.

00:06:20Elaine and I are going to work hard on everything for this fox rod.

00:06:22The technique, the footwork.

00:06:24Elaine's been getting a lot of notes about her shoulders being up in a frame.

00:06:27Boom, yeah, shoulders down.

00:06:29And that's from her pre-existing injuries.

00:06:31So if we raise Elaine's chest, hopefully that puts the shoulders down.

00:06:35Have strong arms. Connect them to your back.

00:06:38This performance has to be worthy of Prince, and that is no easy task.

00:06:43I have to float and fight at the same time.

00:06:47Nice.

00:06:48Because this is our chance to really bring those scores up and to show exactly what we can do.

00:06:53Good job.

00:06:54That's a semi-finalist.

00:06:57Dancing the Foxtrot with her partner Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine Hendricks.

00:07:13I love those other cards you have on.

00:07:18It's kind of funny.

00:07:23But they always seem to let you down.

00:07:27I knew you're loved, baby.

00:07:31That's all I'm living for.

00:07:34Yeah.

00:07:35I've got a picture of you, baby.

00:07:39All I ever wanted to do

00:07:43I wanna be your lover

00:07:47I wanna be the only one that makes you cry

00:07:51I wanna be your lover

00:07:55I wanna turn you on, turn you out

00:07:59All my love will make you shout out

00:08:03I wanna be the only one you come for

00:08:07I wanna be your lover

00:08:09Oh, Alan and Elaine with a Foxtrot 2

00:08:17I wanna be your lover

00:08:19Oh, everybody's loving that one

00:08:23So good

00:08:27I think you're pretty happy about that

00:08:31Alright

00:08:33Alright, let's hear what the judges have

00:08:35Alright, let's hear what the judges have to say

00:08:37Carrie Ann, you're up

00:08:39Okay, well, Elaine, welcome to the semi-finals

00:08:41You deserve this spot so much

00:08:43That was a...

00:08:45Feel this audience there going wild for you

00:08:47You are sophisticated, smooth, strong

00:08:51It just, it's solid, okay?

00:08:53But tonight, we are looking to see who's gonna make it to the finale, right?

00:08:57So I'm just, nothing was wrong with the dance

00:08:59I just wanna say

00:09:01I would still love to see you just push a little

00:09:03Like I wanna see the edges a little bit more

00:09:05Like just push to the edge

00:09:07I feel like you make it look so easy

00:09:09I wanna feel like, baby, it's not that easy for y'all

00:09:11Okay, alright

00:09:13Derek, Derek

00:09:15Lilayne

00:09:17You're lovely

00:09:18That was beautiful

00:09:19Truly incredible

00:09:20Foxtrot

00:09:21The way you articulate those feet

00:09:24To get that beautiful rise and fall

00:09:26With that control

00:09:27That is not easy

00:09:28I appreciate that

00:09:29I love that

00:09:30However, I will echo Carrie Ann's statement a little bit

00:09:31Tonight is the semi-final

00:09:32Tonight is about fighting to get into the final

00:09:34Who is gonna make it into there?

00:09:35So for this next

00:09:36This is your first dance for tonight

00:09:37So that second dance

00:09:38We wanna see a little bit more fight, alright?

00:09:40But that was a beautiful

00:09:42Fantastic

00:09:43Alright, Bruno

00:09:44My darling

00:09:45Radiant as ever

00:09:47And you were very, very flirty tonight as well, were you?

00:09:50She was all going with Alan

00:09:53I'm gonna give it, maybe not

00:09:55Wow

00:09:56You have to make up your mind

00:09:57You're starting early

00:09:58No, but I love

00:09:59Listen

00:10:00Dancing is like acting

00:10:01It's character driven

00:10:02And you always know exactly

00:10:04As I said before how to sell it

00:10:05Semi-finals

00:10:06We have to push it a bit harder

00:10:08They're right

00:10:09But you are a great performer

00:10:10Absolutely

00:10:11Alright

00:10:12You two head on up to the skybox

00:11:14Two dances

00:11:15They'll earn more points from the judges for their second dance

00:11:18But you can vote for them right now to dance in next week's season finale

00:11:21We're coming right back

00:11:22Live

00:11:23Welcome back to Prince Night

00:11:36Next up, the star who earned her first perfect score of the season performs an Argentine tango

00:11:42To Prince's first U.S. Top 10 hit, Little Red Corvette

00:11:46It's social media personality Alex Earl and Val Smirkovski

00:11:54Yes, Len, I know, this is how you do it

00:11:59It's a 10!

00:12:00Duh

00:12:02Perfect score is not getting to my head

00:12:04Because it is the semifinals, so now it's go time

00:12:09We freaking did it

00:12:11We made it

00:12:12So cool

00:12:13I can't believe we're here

00:12:14You've put in the work

00:12:15Thank you, that means a lot

00:12:16It's Prince night

00:12:17We're doing the Argentine tango to Little Red Corvette

00:12:20Woo

00:12:21He was always very authentically himself

00:12:23And a great performer

00:12:24And I want to channel that

00:12:26We got two dances

00:12:27Yep

00:12:28We get to show your versatility

00:12:29I just want to unlock a different version of what I ever thought I was capable of

00:12:34I'm ready to get to work

00:12:35Let's go

00:12:36Three

00:12:37Five

00:12:38That was my bad

00:12:39The Argentine tango lives and breathes passion

00:12:42Can you hold me? Can you hold me? Can you touch me?

00:12:46This part of the competition is just how much discomfort and pain can you take?

00:12:54That hurt

00:12:55This song demands intensity and so does the Argentine tango so I'm expecting and welcoming a lot of hurt and pain

00:13:02Turn

00:13:03Ow

00:13:04You okay?

00:13:05That fell on my toes so bad

00:13:07There have been some amazing Argentine tangos this season so we need to make sure that ours is every bit as memorable if we want a spot in the finale

00:13:14Dancing the Argentine tango with her partner Val Jmerkovsky it's Alex Earl

00:13:21I guess I should have known by the way you parked your car

00:13:37You're the kind of person who believes in making our points

00:13:38Love them and leave them fast

00:13:39I guess I must be dumb

00:13:40I said a pocket full of horses

00:13:41Trojans hungry

00:13:42But if it's Saturday night I guess that makes it alright

00:13:44And you say what have I got to lose?

00:13:45I said

00:13:46What have I got to lose?

00:13:47I said

00:13:48Live it for baby

00:13:49I said

00:13:50Live it for baby

00:13:51I said

00:13:52Live it for baby

00:13:54I said

00:13:55Live it for baby

00:13:56I said

00:13:57Live it for baby

00:13:58I said

00:13:59Live it for baby

00:14:00I said

00:14:01Live it for baby

00:14:02I said

00:14:03Oh

00:14:04Live it for baby

00:14:05I said

00:14:07Live it for baby

00:14:08I say

00:14:09If we're not in mind

00:14:10Live it for baby

00:14:11I say

00:14:12Live it for

00:14:14But not

00:14:25That's

00:14:26Great

00:14:27I said

00:14:28Live it for baby

00:14:29When we have love is gonna lie

00:14:30Live it for baby

00:14:31Cause if you don't, cause if you don't, you're gonna burn your pain until you growl.

00:14:39Yes! Alex and Val with an Argentine tango, and that song is not about a car. That's right.

00:14:50Oh, that was hot. That was hot. And love the red to boot. All right, Derek, take it away.

00:14:57Okay. Good job. I didn't, I didn't like it. I loved it!

00:15:05I always wanted to do that. Um, no, truly, you know, listen, Alex, I really think that you get the potential to go all the way in this competition, all the way to the end.

00:15:15Your improvement has been fantastic, beautiful lines. Well done. Gorgeous. All right. Bruno.

00:15:21Well, excuse me, the red goddess. I agree. The shapes, the lines, the bodywork, top notch.

00:15:32Now, semifinals. There was a little sequence on Ganchos that could have been a little bit sharper.

00:15:40I could saw it in your face, actually, when you missed it. And you know, I am honest, but I have to say, my darling, you are the most improved.

00:15:49You're like a gem that gets brighter and brighter and brighter.

00:15:53All right. You know.

00:15:54Carrie Ann.

00:15:56I agree. Out of all the competitors who are here tonight, you have grown the most steadily in all aspects of your performance.

00:16:03You're really blossoming. Um, in this dance, it was fantastic, but your shoulders came up and it looked like you're gripping onto the dance as opposed to being in control of the dance.

00:16:15So take a deep breath for the next one. Come back stronger.

00:16:17All right. We know you got it. Head on up to the Skybox YouTube and let's have a hand for the insanely talented artists who are doing the songs of Prince Proud.

00:16:26Our band, our singers, and the man who worked with Prince on one of his most spectacular TV performances, our music director, it's Ray 2 Live.

00:16:37Where is your raspberry ray, Ray?

00:16:41Okay, you're good.

00:16:42Julie Ann.

00:16:43Thanks, Alfonso.

00:16:45Okay.

00:16:46What does it feel like to hear from both Bruno and Carrie Ann that you are one of the most improved?

00:16:51I mean, that means so much.

00:16:52Honestly, I have the best partner who has been pushing me so, so much, even up until right before the show.

00:16:59And even, like, the feedback, I appreciate it so much because I want to stay in the competition.

00:17:04I want to keep working to get better.

00:17:06And that's just been our motto every week.

00:17:09Amazing. Well, let's get your scores.

00:17:12Carrie Ann in Nabe.

00:17:14Nine!

00:17:16Derek Huff.

00:17:17Ten!

00:17:19Bruno Tom Young.

00:17:20Nine!

00:17:20Twenty-eight out of thirty for Alex and Val.

00:17:24So far, they've got another chance to see more paddles from the judges for their second dance.

00:17:28But, of course, you don't have to wait to give them your votes.

00:17:32You get ten of them per couple, per voting method.

00:17:34Alfonso.

00:17:34All right.

00:17:35Thanks, Julianne.

00:17:36More dancing to the music of Prince is on the way from our semifinalists.

00:17:41Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas will cha-cha to 1999 when we come back live.

00:17:50Welcome back.

00:17:57Our semifinalists are dancing through the remarkable catalog of Prince.

00:18:02Next up, the star who earned her first perfect score of the season and tied for the top of last week's leaderboard.

00:18:09For her first dance, she'll perform a cha-cha to the title track from Prince's first Top Ten Album 1999 from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

00:18:18Here's Whitney Leavitt and her partner, Mark Ballas.

00:18:21The way you stuck that foot, thank you, girl.

00:18:28You were sticking that landing and you nailed it!

00:18:30Woo!

00:18:31Woo!

00:18:32Woo!

00:18:33Woo!

00:18:34That Argentine tango will stick with me forever.

00:18:37And now, we have made it to the semifinals.

00:18:39Like, I just, I can't believe it.

00:18:41Woo!

00:18:42Semi-finals!

00:18:43Oh, my God!

00:18:45I didn't think that I'd make it this far.

00:18:47What a cool night, Prince Night.

00:18:49And we're dancing to 1999.

00:18:50Prince was such a standout.

00:18:52And he dances amazing.

00:18:53Oh, my God, yeah.

00:18:54It was eccentric.

00:18:55It was loud.

00:18:56It was exciting.

00:18:57It was high energy.

00:18:58And we're going to bring that into this dance.

00:19:00It's a really important dance, but we've got to have fun at the same time.

00:19:03So let's party like it's 1999.

00:19:05Hell yeah.

00:19:06All right.

00:19:07Don't no bounce.

00:19:08Look, the cha-cha is meant to be fun, sassy, sexy, wild.

00:19:11But you have to be in control of the movement.

00:19:15So it's a difficult dance to do at a high level.

00:19:17Getting tired already?

00:19:18No.

00:19:19No?

00:19:20Look, when Prince performs, he makes it look so easy, so effortless, so cool.

00:19:24You hate that?

00:19:25I hate that.

00:19:26But it's hard for me to not be so stiff.

00:19:28I know, but like the arms.

00:19:30Every single person in this competition is working so hard.

00:19:34And I'm feeling it more than ever that everyone is just stepping it up.

00:19:37So this dance has to be perfect.

00:19:40Wow.

00:19:41Look at that.

00:19:42Dancing the cha-cha with her partner Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.

00:19:48For Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.

00:20:00Yeah.

00:20:01Well, I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast

00:20:05Life is just a party, and party's what it meant to last

00:20:13If you didn't call the party, don't bother knocking on my door

00:20:21I've been lying in my pocket, and baby, he's ready to go

00:20:31They say, dude, zero, zero, zero, but it overworks out of time

00:20:37So who's a man for the party, and it's 1999

00:20:45Say party, party, party

00:21:01Oh, Whitney and Mark partying with their cha-cha to 1999

00:21:12Oh, the entire ballroom is on their feet

00:21:16Oh, yeah

00:21:18Come on, you two

00:21:22Oh, the party in the night

00:21:25Oh, come on now

00:21:27Okay

00:21:28Bruno, take the ball, dance with the stars

00:21:31The best party in America, and you throw it

00:21:34With that saucy stunner of a cha-cha-cha

00:21:38Jokes apart

00:21:40The content

00:21:41Let me start there

00:21:43Everything that you wanted from a cha-cha-cha was there

00:21:46The execution

00:21:47The precision

00:21:49The placement

00:21:50The level of difficulty

00:21:52Incredible

00:21:53Incredible

00:21:54And you did it

00:21:55Stunningly well

00:21:57Thank you

00:21:57All right, Carrie-Ann

00:21:58Good job

00:21:59Once again, a wonderful dance

00:22:03I'm going to say

00:22:04This is what stood out to me

00:22:05At times, I felt that the technique

00:22:09I could see you focusing on the technique

00:22:10And normally, that doesn't happen when you perform

00:22:12It almost kind of hindered it

00:22:14Because you're such an amazing performer

00:22:16So for me, the technique should disappear into a great dance

00:22:19And I could see you focusing on the technique

00:22:21But it was still well-delivered and a wonderful cha-cha

00:22:23Thank you

00:22:24Okay, all right

00:22:25Derek

00:22:26Carrie-Ann, you are out of your mind

00:22:32That was literal perfection

00:22:38By the way, cha-cha in a semi-final is like really risky

00:22:42Honestly, it's like

00:22:43It's the hobby

00:22:44And it was, it started off

00:22:46And it got better and better and better

00:22:47The precision, the technique, the performance

00:22:50That was awesome

00:22:53You know what?

00:22:53That was

00:22:54Yeah, it was

00:22:55Head on up to the skybox

00:22:57Dylan Efron and Daniela Ketegotz are getting ready

00:23:00For their first dance of the night

00:23:02And you can see them live right now on TikTok

00:23:04At official DWTS

00:23:06Emma and Jan are in charge of the behind-the-scenes action tonight

00:23:10Julianne

00:23:11Thanks, Alphonse

00:23:12All right

00:23:14Whitney

00:23:14I love this one

00:23:15Hi, girl

00:23:17All right

00:23:18We're just gonna like talk about the elephant in the room

00:23:20You said on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

00:23:23That the only reason why you wanted to do the show

00:23:24Was so that you could do this show

00:23:26Why do you want to be here so much?

00:23:28You know what?

00:23:29After two seasons of doing The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

00:23:32I wanted to take a break

00:23:33But once I found out that this would be an opportunity

00:23:36For all of the girls to be able to go after this

00:23:39I wanted to take that chance

00:23:41I will forever be so grateful for Gina Katz

00:23:44Because this has changed my life

00:23:46And I'm just having the time of my life

00:23:49And I couldn't be more grateful

00:23:50Thank you

00:23:51Well, we're happy you're here

00:23:53Let's get your scores right after this

00:23:55Welcome back

00:24:07Before the break

00:24:08Whitney and Mark performed a cha-cha to 1999

00:24:11That Derek said was literal perfection

00:24:14Let's get their scores

00:24:16Carianne Inabe

00:24:18Nine

00:24:20Derek Huff

00:24:22Ten

00:24:23Bruno Tomio

00:24:25It's a ten

00:24:2629 out of 30 for Whitney and Mark

00:24:30For their first dance tonight

00:24:32Like all of our couples

00:24:33They are working hard to get into next week's season finale

00:24:36And compete for our Len Goodman Mirabal trophy

00:24:39Give them some help with your votes

00:24:41Voting closes shortly

00:24:42After the final competitive dance of the night

00:24:44Alphonse

00:24:44All right

00:24:45Thanks, Julianne

00:24:46And Carianne's gonna need security

00:24:48When she get up out of here

00:24:49Yes, she will

00:24:50All right

00:24:50Next up

00:24:51Our reality TV star and content creator

00:24:54Dances a tango

00:24:55To a top ten hit

00:24:57From Prince's 1994 album

00:24:59Purple Rain

00:25:00It's Dylan Efron

00:25:01And his partner

00:25:02Daniela Katagach

00:25:09That was your breakthrough moment

00:25:13By a long shot

00:25:14It's a ten

00:25:15Perfect tens

00:25:18This is just a moment

00:25:19I'll never forget

00:25:20The winner of the relay dance

00:25:22Is Dylan and Rumor

00:25:24We're finally hitting our stride

00:25:27And it's something to build off

00:25:28For these final two weeks

00:25:29If you told me

00:25:32We would have made the semifinals week one

00:25:33I would have been like

00:25:34Cool, but how?

00:25:36I'm a slow learner

00:25:37But we've really worked hard to get here

00:25:39Exactly

00:25:40Okay

00:25:41It's Prince's night

00:25:42There's no other Prince

00:25:43I love that

00:25:44And he's just authentically himself

00:25:46Every night

00:25:46He's a natural performer

00:25:48And I think that's why

00:25:49He's still a legend today

00:25:50Right

00:25:50I think we can channel that this week

00:25:52Like it is the finale

00:25:53Like let's give it everything we've got

00:25:54To the finale we go

00:25:55Sharp

00:25:56Nice

00:25:57The tango

00:25:59Is very much upright

00:26:01Strong in the legs

00:26:02Don't stick your butt out

00:26:03And Dylan's biggest challenge

00:26:05Is to keep his butt in

00:26:06That is one of the biggest comments

00:26:08Who we get

00:26:08Tuck that booty under

00:26:09Watch out for your bum

00:26:10She's right about that

00:26:12Butt tucked in

00:26:13Prince is tough

00:26:14This is my last ballroom style dance

00:26:17Before the finale

00:26:18The elbows shut down

00:26:19And this is my chance

00:26:20To prove to the judges

00:26:21That I've been listening

00:26:22This is the semis

00:26:24So I've got to go out there

00:26:26And surpass what I did last week

00:26:27You're getting closer

00:26:28Let's do it again

00:26:29Dancing the tango

00:26:32With his partner

00:26:33Daniela Karagotch

00:26:34It's Dylan Ephron

00:26:35I'm not a woman

00:26:47I'm not a man

00:26:49I am something that you'll never understand

00:26:52I'll never be true

00:26:54I'll never lie

00:26:56And if you're evil

00:26:58I'll forgive you by and by

00:27:00Cause you

00:27:00I'm one

00:27:03That for

00:27:03You

00:27:04You're just a set of

00:27:16I am told

00:27:17Be your fight

00:27:18When you're cold

00:27:19Thank you

00:27:19Happy when you're sad

00:27:20Make you good

00:27:21But you are bad

00:27:22I'm not human

00:27:23I'm a girl

00:27:24I'm your conscious

00:27:25I am love

00:27:26I'm not human

00:27:27But you know that you believe

00:27:29I want to die for you

00:27:33Yeah

00:27:37I want to die for you

00:27:40Dylan and Daniella with a tango

00:27:50That's to die for

00:27:52Oh, so good, dude

00:27:56Yeah

00:27:57Good job

00:27:59Great job, dude

00:28:00All right, Carrie-Anne, you're up first

00:28:03Dylan, impressive

00:28:05Very smooth

00:28:06Debonair still leading in control

00:28:08There's a little bit of a mess up with the footwork

00:28:12But listen

00:28:13Hold your booze

00:28:14The real issue to me though in this was

00:28:18You got to feel this music

00:28:19This is Prince

00:28:20I don't feel that you were always feeling the music

00:28:22There were moments when you caught it

00:28:24When Daniella hit it really hard

00:28:25And you came back into feeling the depth of the music

00:28:27I need that the whole night, okay

00:28:29We have one more dance

00:28:29Come on back with that

00:28:30All right, all right

00:28:31Derek, back with that

00:28:32Dylan

00:28:33My guy

00:28:34Dude, you are over here and you went

00:28:36Shabra

00:28:36Yeah

00:28:37Your arm

00:28:38Your frame

00:28:39Man, the strong frame

00:28:41Dude, it has been so fantastic

00:28:43To see your improvement

00:28:44It's so extraordinary

00:28:45Truly

00:28:45I was walking over there

00:28:47Your brother was like

00:28:48Okay

00:28:49Okay

00:28:49I will just say one tiny little thing though

00:28:52Just in the spirit of Len actually

00:28:54That in tango, it's all heel leads

00:28:56Yes

00:28:57All heel leads

00:28:58And there was a lot of, you know

00:29:00Not heel leads in there

00:29:01So, but overall, my man

00:29:02That was fantastic

00:29:04Great job

00:29:05Bruno, don't worry

00:29:06Your bum is beautifully under control

00:29:09And you were clean, clear, sharp

00:29:13I think leading men running the family here

00:29:16I don't know

00:29:17I'm getting a buzz in the room

00:29:19But I have to say again

00:29:20You've very, very much improved

00:29:22And I actually did feel it

00:29:23Because he was intense

00:29:25But not in an arrogant way

00:29:27In a very firm and assertive way

00:29:31Okay

00:29:31I like that

00:29:32Okay

00:29:32We're gonna send you guys up to the skybox

00:29:35You don't have to watch that anymore

00:29:36All right

00:30:11I think these songs are making my playlist, actually

00:30:13Like, these two are great

00:30:14They're so good

00:31:11League of Prince are on the way

00:31:13Jordan Childs

00:31:14And Ezra Sosa

00:31:14Will jive to another one of his top ten hits

00:31:18Next

00:31:18Live

00:31:19What's my name?

00:31:25Prisoner Ben

00:31:25Do what the

00:31:30Get on

00:31:31Let's get on

00:31:34Yeah

00:31:34Woohoat

00:31:39Oh, what an amazing performer Prince was.

00:31:54Give it up for our troupe, Hayley, Jackson, Carter, and Anya

00:31:58dancing to a clip of musicology from the Prince vault.

00:32:02Now, people have been sharing those moves on social media,

00:32:05and we want you to post your take using hashtag GWTSprincechallenge, all right?

00:32:12All right.

00:32:12Well, next up, our Olympic gold medalist performs a jive to Raspberry Beret

00:32:17from the 1985 Prince and the Revolution album Around the World in a Day.

00:32:22It's Jordan Childs, and her partner, Ezra Sosa.

00:32:28I love the texture in the body, and I saw that.

00:32:31Give it to me.

00:32:32Let's go.

00:32:32Hey.

00:32:33We did that.

00:32:35We did it.

00:32:36Making the semifinals is literally like making the Olympic trials.

00:32:39The winner of the relay dance is Jordan and Apollo.

00:32:43I'm honestly so proud, and now the competitor in me is definitely coming out.

00:32:48We made it to the semifinals!

00:32:50Dude!

00:32:51Your second season on Dancing with the Stars, and you're in the semifinals.

00:32:54Girl, I don't think it's clocking to me.

00:32:56Diva.

00:32:57It's Prince tonight.

00:32:58My junior season at UCLA, I did a Prince routine.

00:33:02And I did get a couple tens off of it, but I have never had a perfect score as a gymnast,

00:33:13so I'm waiting.

00:33:14Dancing with the Stars, UCLA, which one's going to be?

00:33:17This should be in place.

00:33:18The hardest thing to teach someone in the jive is stamina.

00:33:21And luckily, my girl has got that down.

00:33:24Apparently, I don't smile at them.

00:33:25The way that Prince moves and grabs a piece of your heart is exquisite.

00:33:29So, the judges are going to expect the biggest thing that has been throughout the whole season.

00:33:34The emotion.

00:33:35Three, four.

00:33:38It's not my fault I know how to pop a split.

00:33:41There have been so many incredible jives this season, so I'm going to have to bring everything

00:33:45I got to make sure we finally get our perfect scores.

00:33:49There's a Prince vibe.

00:33:50Dancing the jive with her partner, Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.

00:33:57One, two, one, two, three, up!

00:34:03I was working part-time and I'm five and dine.

00:34:18My boss was Mr. McGee.

00:34:21He told me several times that he didn't like the kind.

00:34:24Cause I was a bit too leisurely.

00:34:27It seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing.

00:34:30But different than the day before.

00:34:33That's when I saw her.

00:34:35I saw her.

00:34:36She was dead through the outdoor, outdoor.

00:34:39She wore a raspberry beret.

00:34:42The kind you found in the second hand store.

00:34:46Raspberry beret.

00:34:48I think I love her.

00:34:54Woo!

00:34:57She wore a raspberry beret.

00:35:00The kind you found in the second hand store.

00:35:04The kind you found in the second hand store.

00:35:04I think I love her.

00:35:09Jordan and Ezra.

00:35:18Yes!

00:35:18And to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Around the World in a Day, the remastered deluxe expanded edition will be released this Friday.

00:35:30So good.

00:35:32All right, Derek, take it away.

00:35:33Jordan, that jive had that pure Prince funky fun.

00:35:38It was fresh.

00:35:39It was so fantastic.

00:35:40Well done.

00:35:41Really good.

00:35:42For me, I feel like for a jive, I wanted a little bit more attack, a little bit more sharpness, a little more bite in the movement.

00:35:47But overall, I love, like, the highlight over there was fantastic.

00:35:50You always bring that.

00:35:51You always bring that.

00:35:52Well done.

00:35:53All right, Bruno.

00:35:54Hi, energy fun.

00:35:56It was so fast, though, that you lost a little bit of time, you know, at that corner there.

00:36:03Because up till now, up till then, I was counting, listen, this is the semifinals.

00:36:07She admitted it.

00:36:08No, really.

00:36:09She admitted it.

00:36:10You were right on it.

00:36:11But obviously, to keep up the pace, things happen.

00:36:14But otherwise, it was brilliant.

00:36:16There you go.

00:36:17Absolutely, absolutely.

00:36:18Carrie Ann.

00:36:19For me, for me, for me, this was the best performance so far tonight.

00:36:23I love the energy noise.

00:36:24That's just super sharp, super strong.

00:36:26But there was the mess up.

00:36:28I saw it too, Bruno.

00:36:29Yeah, so then, oh, yeah.

00:36:31So, sorry, what can I say?

00:36:32I would love to give it a better score, but there was a mess up and it was a free-spreading

00:36:36night.

00:36:37And don't be booing me anymore.

00:36:40That's her language.

00:36:41Head on up to the skybox.

00:36:43Next week, we're taking over all of ABC in prime time with our most demanding season

00:36:48finale in the history of the show.

00:36:51For the first time, we'll have three rounds of competition, including the instant dances

00:36:57and the make-or-break freestyles.

00:36:59Julianne.

00:37:00And honestly, with all the incredible talent that we've seen this season, you don't want

00:37:04to miss it.

00:37:05But we're right here with you right now.

00:37:07I want to know, you already did a gymnastics floor routine to Prince.

00:37:10How does it feel to do another Prince song tonight?

00:37:13Honestly, it's been such a remarkable experience.

00:37:15I'm very honored to do Prince tonight.

00:37:18Like you said, I did do it for my junior season.

00:37:20But you know what?

00:37:21It's always a fun vibe.

00:37:22And it's always, you know, really magical.

00:37:23Just be able to feel his art.

00:37:24And that's what I really wanted to do today.

00:37:26Well, also, I think the judges are going pretty hard.

00:37:30The judges are going pretty hard because it's the semifinals.

00:37:33What does that feel like to get that kind of feedback?

00:37:35What does that feel like to do with you, but for everybody here tonight?

00:37:37Honestly, it feels amazing because that just means they know how much potential I have.

00:37:41And, you know, at the end of the day, their comments are their comments.

00:37:44And we appreciate it 100%.

00:37:46I love that attitude.

00:37:47Let's get your scores.

00:37:49All right, 27 out of 30 for Jordan and Ezra so far.

00:38:01How do you feel about those scores?

00:38:03I'm really excited.

00:38:04That just means there's more room for improvement.

00:38:06I love it.

00:38:06Well, like all of our stars, they need votes from you to compete next week in our season finale.

00:38:11Their second dance to another unforgettable Prince song is coming up.

00:38:14Alfonso.

00:38:15All right.

00:38:15Thanks, Julianne.

00:38:17Now, the star who earned the first perfect score of the season is next.

00:38:21Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson dance after this live.

00:38:37Welcome back to the semifinals.

00:38:39Next up, the wildlife conservationists who earned the first perfect score of the season

00:38:44with a jive to Baby I'm a Star from the 1984 Prince and the Revolution album Purple Rain.

00:38:51It's Robert Irwin and his partner, Whitney Carson.

00:38:59It was a patching tribute that touched all of us.

00:39:03First perfect score of the season to a dance dedicated to my dad was so incredibly meaningful.

00:39:12And we managed to win the relay dance, but now the race is on.

00:39:17Oh!

00:39:18First perfect score of the season.

00:39:20Are you kidding?

00:39:22One word for that.

00:39:23Crikey.

00:39:23Crikey!

00:39:25Okay, it's Prince Night and we are dancing a jive to Baby I'm a Star.

00:39:29Do you know that song or are you too young?

00:39:31I know I'm young, but I love Prince.

00:39:34He was just the most passionate, enthusiastic, unifying character.

00:39:38Like, I relate to that a lot.

00:39:40We've got to make it special and memorable.

00:39:42The fact that we won a jive relay last week, the judges have a direct comparison.

00:39:48And it will be better, so don't you worry about that.

00:39:51I've got so much energy because this is a jive.

00:39:53In this jive, we are going to have to amplify his technique and put a little bit more kicks

00:39:57and flicks, a little bit more content in there.

00:40:00So people can really realize how far Robert has come.

00:40:04It's the semi-finals, so the expectations are there and the pressure is on.

00:40:08Ah, sorry.

00:40:09We are just going again and again and again, drilling it down to the bone.

00:40:13Ball change.

00:40:14Oh, I didn't even know that was a thing.

00:40:15Because our only option is perfection.

00:40:18Dancing the jive with his partner, Whitney Carson.

00:40:25It's Robert Irwin.

00:40:29One, two, three, four.

00:40:39Hey, look me over.

00:40:42Tell me, do you like what you see?

00:40:45Hey, I ain't got no money.

00:40:48Honey, I'm rich on personality.

00:40:50Hey, shake it all out.

00:40:54Baby, I know what it's all about.

00:40:56Before the night is through, you will see my point of view.

00:41:00Even if I have to scream and shout.

00:41:02Baby, I'm gonna stop.

00:41:04Oh, might not know it now.

00:41:07Baby, guitar, I'm gonna stop.

00:41:10Oh, I don't want to stop.

00:41:15Can I reach the top?

00:41:16Sing it.

00:41:17Stop, stop.

00:41:17Oh, baby.

00:41:20Baby, baby.

00:41:21I'm dancing.

00:41:22Baby, baby, baby.

00:41:27Baby, ooh.

00:41:29Baby, ooh-ooh.

00:41:30Baby, baby, ooh-ooh.

00:41:32Baby, ooh-ooh.

00:41:35Robert and Whitney with a rockin' dive.

00:41:44Oh, lots of love in the ballroom now.

00:41:48Yeah, dude.

00:41:50Kill that thing.

00:41:53Come on, now.

00:41:55All right.

00:41:57Come on up here, yo.

00:41:58Come on up here.

00:41:59Bruno, take it away.

00:42:00You see, for Prince,

00:42:03only a superstar jive would do.

00:42:07You did that.

00:42:09I mean, so pumped up, so energized,

00:42:13and at the same time in control.

00:42:16All that energy could power the country, to be honest.

00:42:19And you never put a foot wrong.

00:42:22The choreography, splendid.

00:42:25Superstar jive.

00:42:27Absolutely.

00:42:28All right, carry it.

00:42:30That is how you tell everyone

00:42:32you demand to be in the finale.

00:42:35When you dance like that, that was insane.

00:42:38Thank you so much.

00:42:39That was insane.

00:42:40So clean, so sharp, so buoyant, so fun, so amazing.

00:42:43You are just freaking amazing.

00:42:45I love you.

00:42:46Amazing, amazing, amazing.

00:42:47All right, dude.

00:42:48Robert, listen.

00:42:50That's a great example of the way that when you dance,

00:42:53you dance with your full body, your full charisma.

00:42:55It's like, you're not like hitting the steps.

00:42:56You're like, pop, pop, pop, pop.

00:42:58And the slow moment.

00:43:01The flip over.

00:43:02That jive had it all.

00:43:04The sugar push.

00:43:05Yeah, the sugar push.

00:43:06I could go on and on and on.

00:43:08My God, that was incredible.

00:43:09Well done.

00:43:10I love it when people know the names of the moves.

00:43:12All right, head on up to the skybox.

00:43:14The star who earned 27 for her Foxtrot is on the way.

00:43:19Elaine and Alan will dance to another Prince classic in just a minute.

00:43:23Julianne.

00:43:24Thanks, Alfonso.

00:43:25All right, Whitney, Robert, or should I call you the jive guy?

00:43:30I'm not sure.

00:43:31Um, honestly, between you doing the jive last week

00:43:35and winning the relay dance with Sochi and coming in,

00:43:37like, were you feeling pressure or confidence?

00:43:40Oh, a bit of both.

00:43:41You know, a little bit of both.

00:43:43And I've never sweat so much in my entire life.

00:43:45But it's a credit to Whitney.

00:43:47I mean, we're pushing.

00:43:48Both of us.

00:43:49We're working.

00:43:50And to bring joy into this room feels like this is what I live for.

00:43:56I know.

00:43:57I'm so proud of Robert.

00:43:58Honestly, like, I feel like I've been given a gift with him as my partner.

00:44:03And I just really appreciate everything that you've done.

00:44:06I love you.

00:44:07Love you.

00:44:08All right, well, let's see if the judges have a gift for y'all.

00:44:11Let's get your scores.

00:44:13All right, well, you can vote for them right now with your text and online at ABC.com.

00:44:31Currently at the top of Robert and Whitney with 30.

00:44:32And currently at the bottom are Dylan and Daniella, Elaine and Alan.

00:44:33All of the scores for the first dances are in.

00:44:35So let's take a look at the leaderboard.

00:44:37Currently at the top of Robert and Whitney with 30.

00:44:38And currently at the bottom are Dylan and Daniella, Elaine and Alan.

00:44:40And Jordan and Ezra with 27.

00:44:42A three-way tie.

00:44:43The scores and possibly the standings will change with these next dances.

00:44:48Alfonso.

00:44:49All right.

00:44:50Thanks, Julianne.

00:44:51Let's continue the semifinals.

00:44:52With a pass at Doble to the first number one single for Prince and the Revolution when doves

00:44:53cry.

00:44:54And here's how.

00:44:55Alfonso.

00:45:08It is thus talented as well.

00:45:09It's when people come out.

00:45:11It is the 5-any top of the fight, the average.

00:45:16Now, another thing is another huge figure.

00:45:19So with Providence and the Global Ways of Denver,rees couple,

00:45:23Lane and Alan trained for their final dance to get into our season finale.

00:45:31This is our last dance.

00:45:32This is what gets us into the finals.

00:45:35And I want you to fight for your spot.

00:45:37Oh, I can do that.

00:45:38Being an actress can be so hard that I've just trained myself to just be willing,

00:45:43just keep going.

00:45:44And it's really paying off.

00:45:47Normally, I play characters.

00:45:49And to let people see me has been really scary.

00:45:53But I'm so glad I did it.

00:45:56I truly didn't know what I would be capable of in this competition.

00:46:00But every week, my body is showing up for me.

00:46:04And I'm really grateful for that.

00:46:06Let's do this for the younger Elaine that wanted to be a dancer.

00:46:11Let's do this.

00:46:11You ready?

00:46:12I am ready.

00:46:13I'm proud of you.

00:46:16Intense.

00:46:19Paso Doble is the dance of the matador and the cape.

00:46:22And a bullfight.

00:46:24Boom.

00:46:24So close.

00:46:25This is the perfect dance for Elaine to show that power and resilience and determination

00:46:30that she's had all season.

00:46:32Saf.

00:46:32Eight.

00:46:33Stay back.

00:46:34We are in fight mode.

00:46:35So the most challenging thing about the Paso Doble is to have power while maintaining control.

00:46:40I've put my heart and soul out for the entire world to see every week.

00:46:47Do it again.

00:46:48So that's what I'm going to keep doing.

00:46:50It's fast.

00:46:51I'm having a hard time connecting that.

00:46:52It's okay.

00:46:53I'll get it.

00:46:53Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.

00:46:55Last dance.

00:46:57Go!

00:46:57Last chance to make it in the finale.

00:47:00And I'm going to do just that.

00:47:01Okay.

00:47:02Proud of you.

00:47:04Let's just go for it.

00:47:04Dancing the Paso Doble with her partner Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine Hendricks.

00:47:12Let's just go for it.

00:47:42As they feel the heat, the heat between me and you.

00:47:47Let's just be standing alone when the world is so cold.

00:47:53The world's so cold.

00:47:55Baby, baby, baby, now my father, you know what I want you for.

00:48:04Maybe you're just like my mother.

00:48:07Never, never satisfied.

00:48:10But why did you think we tried?

00:48:15It's the worst of luck when dogs cry.

00:48:19Everybody loved that one in the ballroom.

00:48:37Let's go.

00:48:39Let's go.

00:48:40Yes.

00:48:43Take it in.

00:48:44Take it in.

00:48:46Take it in.

00:48:47Love it, love it, love it.

00:48:49Carrie Ann is coming this way.

00:48:51Come on, Carrie Ann.

00:48:52Get in there.

00:48:53That was amazing.

00:48:54That was amazing.

00:48:58What was that?

00:48:59Was that amazing?

00:49:00That was what we're looking at.

00:49:02You left it all on the floor.

00:49:05Yes.

00:49:09I'm leaving.

00:49:11You talk, I'll help her.

00:49:13I'm good, I got it, I'm not going to fall.

00:49:16Elaine, Elaine, Elaine.

00:49:17That was amazing.

00:49:18I mean, it was a proper, beautiful Paso Doble with all the beautiful oval shapes, the lines.

00:49:23But more impressively, you came with that fight.

00:49:26I saw you the way like, boom.

00:49:28Oh, you.

00:49:29I saw it.

00:49:30I can't stay in my seat.

00:49:31I feel like Bruno tonight.

00:49:32Yeah, come on.

00:49:33Go for it.

00:49:33But Elaine, that is what we're talking about.

00:49:38Truly, truly, that is exactly what we're talking about.

00:49:41You fought for that dance.

00:49:42It was powerful.

00:49:43You filled the room with your energy.

00:49:45So good.

00:49:47All right.

00:49:48Look what you're doing to me.

00:49:50It just popped right over.

00:49:51The dove are transforming to a wriggle bird of prey, commanding everything in his sight.

00:49:58But, no, honestly, that really was an authentic Paso Doble, as it should be done.

00:50:06It was a regal performance.

00:50:10Majestic.

00:50:11Yeah.

00:50:12So beautiful.

00:50:13Head on up to the skybox, you too.

00:50:15That's great.

00:50:15All right.

00:50:16Live right now on TikTok, Alex and VW2ES, Emma and Jan are following Alex and Val's final

00:50:22preparations for their routine to Purple Rain.

00:50:25Don't miss your chance to check them out before they dance.

00:50:28Julianne.

00:50:28Thanks, Alfonso.

00:50:30Just give me a minute while I bow down to Elaine.

00:50:33Okay.

00:50:33You're feeling amazing.

00:50:34The judges said that was incredible.

00:50:36Going from the first round to this round, how are you feeling?

00:50:40Like I freaking fought for it.

00:50:45Damn right.

00:50:46I don't think we need any more than let's just get your scores, unfortunately, when we come

00:50:50back.

00:50:51No!

00:50:58Welcome back.

00:51:03Before the break, Elaine and Alan performed a Paso Doble that Carrie-Anne said was amazing.

00:51:08Let's get their scores.

00:51:11Carrie-Anne Inabe.

00:51:13It's a 10!

00:51:15It's a 10!

00:51:17Derek Huff.

00:51:1810!

00:51:18Bring it out Tony Omi.

00:51:2110!

00:51:21That is a Tony out of 30 for Elaine and Alan's Paso Doble.

00:51:26Their total for both dances is 57.

00:51:29All right, Elaine, this is your first perfect score of the season.

00:51:34What do you want to say?

00:51:35Oh, my God.

00:51:36Thank you so much.

00:51:37Alan, I love you so much.

00:51:40We worked so hard for this, rehearsing over and over, and it was worth every second of

00:51:45it.

00:51:46All right.

00:51:47Well, they've done everything they could to get into next week's season finale, where

00:51:52we will present the Len Goodman Miller Ball Trophy to our new champion, Alfonso.

00:51:57All right.

00:51:58Thanks, Julianne.

00:51:59Love that.

00:52:00Next up, the star who earned 28 for her Argentine tango.

00:52:04For her last dance to get into our season finale, she'll perform a Viennese waltz to

00:52:09the title track from Purple Rain.

00:52:11First, let's see Alex and Val in training.

00:52:17I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever, let alone one of Prince's best

00:52:22songs, Purple Rain.

00:52:23I'm so excited.

00:52:24It lends itself to a much more emotional performance.

00:52:27I've gotten so emotionally in tune with myself throughout this, and I don't want to cry.

00:52:34I am so excited getting to do this every day, and I'm going to be so upset when this is

00:52:40over.

00:52:42And I just...

00:52:44I've just learned so much about myself.

00:52:49It's given me a different work ethic, and I am more confident in being prepared to fail,

00:52:56and it's nothing I could have prepared myself for.

00:52:59I have, like, loved waking up every day to get to come in here and dance and learn more

00:53:04and challenge myself, and I forgot this isn't my everyday life.

00:53:09Let's really savor these dances.

00:53:12One, two...

00:53:14So this step.

00:53:15Yeah.

00:53:15The Vini's waltz is known for its left turns, right turns, pivots, fluid movement.

00:53:21Yeah.

00:53:22Your energy's here.

00:53:22It needs to go there.

00:53:23The challenging part is to then forget about it and put your soul into it.

00:53:28Boom.

00:53:29Turn.

00:53:30Nice.

00:53:30I want to wear my heart on my sleeve for this, but I'm getting dizzy, so, you know,

00:53:34I have to make sure I'm spotting and figuring out where I'm going.

00:53:38Boom.

00:53:39There you go.

00:53:39Can I go lower?

00:53:40Um...

00:53:41Sir.

00:53:42There's a lot of pressure to do Purple Rain justice and not let anyone down.

00:53:47It's hard to even put into words how much I've enjoyed this.

00:53:51I want to get to the finale and keep that dream going for another week.

00:53:55Dancing the Viennese waltz with her partner Val Jmerkowski, it's Alex Earle.

00:54:03APPLAUSE

00:54:04I never meant to call you when you're on the road.

00:54:23I never meant to call you when you're on the road.

00:54:26Purple Rain.

00:54:38I only want to see you laughing in the Purple Rain.

00:54:46Purple Rain.

00:54:48Purple Rain.

00:54:49Purple rain, purple rain

00:54:58Purple rain, purple rain

00:55:06If you want to see you walk underneath the blue

00:55:19Alex in bow with a Viennese waltz to Prince's iconic Purple Rain

00:55:26An iconic dance to an iconic song

00:55:32So good, you two

00:55:35Derek

00:55:36Alex, even from your package, you know, dance, it really, it transforms

00:55:40And we've seen you blossom into a beautiful, beautiful dancer, truly

00:55:43And I have no doubts that we're going to see you in those finals

00:55:49It was a powerful, passionate, and stunning Viennese waltz, well done

00:55:54Beautiful, fantastic

00:55:55All right, Bruno

00:55:56So, you delivered what I wanted

00:55:59The perfect combination of motion and emotion

00:56:03You were so connected and so into what was happening as a performer

00:56:09You felt the music, you trusted him

00:56:12And together you gave us a fabulous

00:56:15Fabulous

00:56:16Fabulous

00:56:17Fabulous

00:56:18Carrie Ann

00:56:19This season has been by far the most challenging

00:56:25And the most competitive season we have ever seen in 34 seasons

00:56:29A performance like this is going to go down in history

00:56:34This is so powerful

00:56:35You have blossomed because you are exactly what we always want

00:56:40We want somebody to grow

00:56:41You grow and then you deliver this passionate, beautiful performance

00:57:09Thanks Alfonso

00:57:10Oh my goodness, we are one week away from the finale

00:57:13We saw you get emotional in the package

00:57:15Also listening to Carrie Ann's comments

00:57:17What does this competition and those comments mean to you?

00:57:21Um, I mean it means everything to me to hear that from the judges

00:57:24And like I said in the package

00:57:26This has just been like the best experience

00:57:28And every single day I wake up so happy to dance

00:57:31And just learn more about myself and be with Bao

00:57:34So, I just, just brought tears to my eyes because I love it so much

00:57:38I love them

00:57:40All right, let's get your scores

00:58:01Good tears

00:58:03Thank you so much, thank you

00:58:04I'm so proud of her

00:58:05I'm proud of everybody that puts in the work

00:58:07But she's my partner so I'm most proud of her

00:58:09I love you guys

00:58:10I love you guys

00:58:11All right, well they don't want to rely on the judges' scores alone to get into the season finale

00:58:15They need votes from you

00:58:16Alfonso

00:58:17All right, thanks Julianne

00:58:18The competition is heating up

00:58:20Dylan and Daniela's cha-cha to Prince's number one worldwide hit kiss is next

00:58:26Live!

00:58:27Welcome back to the semi-finals

00:58:39Next up, the star who earned 27 for his tango performs a cha-cha to the 1986 Prince and the Revolution hit kiss

00:58:48Woo!

00:58:49Here are Dylan and Daniela training to get into our season finale with this all-important dance

00:58:55So what's this whole experience been like for you so far?

00:59:02Week one it felt like I'm an imposter like at a talent show and I had no talent

00:59:06And then like last week I'm flipping you in the air twice and catching you like that's a broken nose

00:59:11We did

00:59:12This show is much more than just learning to dance

00:59:14It's having the confidence to go out there and own a performance

00:59:17You won the show what's it gonna take for us to get to the finale?

00:59:21Everything you've already been doing

00:59:23If you come here and you work hard and you stay focused that is everything a champion does

00:59:29This was a marathon not a sprint

00:59:31No

00:59:32And we're on the last leg

00:59:34We still have like another week left in us so don't give up yet

00:59:38We need to make it to the finale

00:59:40We got to

00:59:41Okay, let's do this

00:59:42Since week one one of Dylan's biggest challenges was performance

00:59:46All right restart restart

00:59:47But now his confidence is higher

00:59:49So with the cha-cha I am so excited for him to just take over this dance and get those hips rolling

00:59:55Oh my god

00:59:56I think the most demanding part in this dance is just the cardio

00:59:59So right now it's just a mental exhaustion of trying to keep the technique while having fun and being loose

01:00:05I've been close to succeeding on a few of these Latin style dances

01:00:09So frustrating

01:00:10But I haven't nailed one yet

01:00:12So I think this is a chance for me to showcase what I've learned throughout this last ten weeks

01:00:17That's insane

01:00:18This whole experience has been a marathon

01:00:20And I've run a ton of marathons

01:00:22So now I can actually see that finish line

01:00:25It's time to sprint

01:00:26I'm going to sprint

01:00:27I'm going to do everything I can to make that finale

01:00:29I'm going to do everything I can to make that finale

01:00:33Too much

01:00:35Dancing the cha-cha with his partner Daniela Karagocz, it's Dylan Efron

01:00:40Thank you

01:00:41Thank you

01:00:42Thank you

01:00:43Thank you

01:00:45Thank you

01:00:47Thank you

01:00:48Thank you

01:02:20Ah, ah, ah, ah.

01:02:22Ah, you sexy beast.

01:02:24What happened to your hips?

01:02:26You've done so much work.

01:02:28The difference on your hip action and on your foot placement,

01:02:32your finish is incredible.

01:02:35Daniele, you've done a fantastic job.

01:02:37You should be proud.

01:02:39Yes.

01:02:41Darianne.

01:02:43I like the attack this time.

01:02:44I definitely felt you're more connected to the music.

01:02:46Sometimes your arms got a little, like, a little small.

01:02:49I know.

01:02:50Look, look, you guys, a lot is at stake.

01:02:52Everybody has worked so hard.

01:02:54I have to tell him.

01:02:55So if he's here next week, he has something to work on, right?

01:02:59We want everybody to do well.

01:03:00So that is what I think you need to work on.

01:03:03And I've done a great job so far.

01:03:05Okay.

01:03:06All right.

01:03:07Derek.

01:03:08Dylan.

01:03:09I'm sorry, guys.

01:03:10Fair with me.

01:03:11It's the knee slide at the beginning.

01:03:12So good.

01:03:13The compact chassis.

01:03:14The New Yorkers.

01:03:15The details, man.

01:03:16Your hip action.

01:03:17The proper Cuban motion.

01:03:18That is not easy to do.

01:03:19Your arm placement.

01:03:20And the New Yorkers, your feet were turned out.

01:03:22Nobody does that.

01:03:23It was so, so impressive, man.

01:03:26You should be so proud.

01:03:27There was a little thing there, but great job.

01:03:32Great job.

01:03:33Great job, dude.

01:03:34Head on to the skybox, dude.

01:03:35The standard of dancing on this record-breaking season

01:03:39has been so exceptional that none of us want it to end.

01:03:42But we will wrap it up next Tuesday night

01:03:45with our competition-packed season finale.

01:03:48Julianne.

01:03:49I know.

01:03:50And I can't believe how fast this season has gone by.

01:03:53It's truly a testament to how hard all of these couples work.

01:03:57Okay.

01:03:58You've done a tango tonight.

01:04:00You've done a cha-cha tonight.

01:04:01Are you a ballroom or a Latin guy?

01:04:03The Latin's fun.

01:04:05I'm better at the other, but the Latin's really fun.

01:04:07I don't know.

01:04:08You've got that hip-hop again.

01:04:09I love it.

01:04:10That's what we practice the most.

01:04:11So it feels good to go out there and do it.

01:04:13I think everybody is very happy about that.

01:04:15All right.

01:04:16Let's get your scores.

01:04:18Carrie Ann Inabe.

01:04:20Nine.

01:04:22Derek Huff.

01:04:23A little thumb on nine.

01:04:24Great job, man.

01:04:25Great job.

01:04:26It's a ten.

01:04:29All right.

01:04:30That's 28 out of 30 for Dylan and Daniela.

01:04:32Cha-Cha.

01:04:33Their total for both dancers is 55.

01:04:36All right.

01:04:37How bad do you want to be in this finale?

01:04:39So bad.

01:04:40I know that she's going to do some incredible choreo, and I want that challenge.

01:04:43So I really want to get there.

01:04:45Got some freestyle magic up your sleeve, I'm sure, Daniela.

01:04:48All right.

01:04:49Well, judges' scores alone won't allow them to dance for the trophy and the title next week,

01:04:53but you can help them get there with the power of your votes.

01:04:56Alfonso.

01:04:57All right.

01:04:58Thanks, Julianne.

01:04:59There's more fierce competition on the way.

01:05:01Whitney and Mark perform a Viennese waltz to a Prince hit from Sign of the Times when

01:05:04we come back live.

01:05:06We're back with the pros that you can see in person this winter in our all-new live tour.

01:05:23Go to dwtstour.com for tickets and information.

01:05:27The shows have been selling fast, so don't miss your chance.

01:05:30And trust me, you're going to have the most amazing time, I promise.

01:05:33All right.

01:05:34Well, next up, the star who earned 29 for her cha-cha, Dances of Viennese waltz to slow

01:05:39love from Prince's ninth album, his masterpiece, Sign of the Times.

01:05:44That's right.

01:05:45Here are Whitney and Mark training for this last chance to get into next week's season finale.

01:05:53So, this is it, man.

01:05:55Hopefully, your gateway to potentially make the finale.

01:05:57Yeah.

01:05:58You know?

01:05:59So, what has this experience been like for you?

01:06:01I knew it was going to be really challenging going into it, just being a fan of the show

01:06:05and seeing all the hard work that the stars put in, but it's so different when you actually

01:06:10live it.

01:06:11It is.

01:06:12Like, um, being a part of this experience, like, blossomed something in me that I feel

01:06:24like had been missing.

01:06:26I've learned it's okay to be yourself.

01:06:29And when I dance, I feel most like myself.

01:06:31So, it's been really exciting to reunite with that person.

01:06:35I just feel like this whole experience has been life changing for me.

01:06:38And I'm just, I'm just so grateful.

01:06:41Come here.

01:06:42I'm a little proud of you.

01:06:46Good.

01:06:47Shifting.

01:06:48I don't know.

01:06:49In this V in these walls, Whitney has to create width in her frame.

01:06:52And we need to create space with this frame.

01:06:54Show us elegance, poise, and try your best to just look like a little princess float on

01:06:59a cloud.

01:07:00Like, I want to style it cool.

01:07:02Okay.

01:07:03Because it's Prince.

01:07:04There's a lot of writing in this one.

01:07:05Let's try and get back to the center.

01:07:06The most challenging thing for me is my back keeping it arched the whole time.

01:07:10Use your back.

01:07:11It's just a very awkward position to have to hold throughout the whole entire dance.

01:07:15Two, three, side, side.

01:07:16Get in the frame.

01:07:17Do it again.

01:07:18That's where you're looking to get.

01:07:19I became a mom and had kids.

01:07:20I didn't think I could make a living off of being a performer and entertainer.

01:07:24But now it feels obtainable.

01:07:26Yes.

01:07:27Better.

01:07:28And that I will forever be grateful for.

01:07:29Not bad.

01:07:30Not bad.

01:07:31Dancing the Viennese Waltz with her partner Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.

01:07:40Young is the night It feels so right Let's make it strong

01:08:07Just like the wind blows Let's make it last forever

01:08:24For a hundred times it wouldn't be enough Yeah, yeah

01:08:35Tonight is the night For making it slow

01:08:42Wow.

01:08:55Yes.

01:08:56Whitney and Mark with a Viennese Waltz.

01:09:00You can do this.

01:09:01Oh, yeah.

01:09:02You can do this.

01:09:03Absolutely gorgeous.

01:09:04You get me?

01:09:05You can do this.

01:09:06Yeah.

01:09:08Beautiful.

01:09:09Absolutely beautiful.

01:09:10Carrie Ann.

01:09:11Wow.

01:09:12Okay.

01:09:13That was for you from all the performance that you have done, my absolute favorite.

01:09:26It felt so authentically you.

01:09:33You unmasked, you showed us truly your soul and how much you love to dance.

01:09:37And I just want to thank you for that.

01:09:39There was a bit of a hop, so I had to mark for that.

01:09:43But what you did, please, no one can take that away from you.

01:09:46That was outstanding.

01:09:47Yes.

01:09:48There was two.

01:09:49All right.

01:09:50There were two.

01:09:51There were two.

01:09:52I see what I see.

01:09:53Oh, whatever.

01:09:54Okay.

01:09:55Okay.

01:09:56Okay.

01:09:57Go ahead.

01:09:58Come on.

01:09:59Listen, I want to share this actually real fast.

01:10:00I want to commend you so much for sharing your ambition and sharing your dreams because

01:10:05I find that to be very courageous.

01:10:07Yes.

01:10:08Very courageous.

01:10:09A lot of people are afraid to express what they desire, what they want to do in fear

01:10:13that it won't happen.

01:10:14It's scary to put that out there.

01:10:15But you put that out there and you show up and you deliver and you dance, girl.

01:10:20You dance.

01:10:21Yes, my love.

01:10:22Bruno.

01:10:23Because you are immensely talented.

01:10:26What we saw tonight, whatever, the quality of movement in that Venice Waltz we see

01:10:31very rarely.

01:10:32We always look for that feel, you know, guys, like the riding on the crest of a wave.

01:10:37When you do everything and it's absolutely in tune and phrased with the music.

01:10:42Impeccable!

01:10:48I don't have to the skybox.

01:11:06All right.

01:11:08Before we get started, Mark, I actually want to acknowledge something.

01:11:11I overheard you say, you can do this, you can do this.

01:11:14What does that mean?

01:11:15I think just, you know, I feel like this little girl whose dreams are coming true and more

01:11:23than ever on this show, I feel like those are obtainable.

01:11:26I f***ing love this show!

01:11:28Woo!

01:12:06Alfonso.

01:12:07All right.

01:12:08Thanks, Julianne.

01:12:09Another hit from Side of the Times is up next.

01:12:12Jordan and Ezra dance in Argentine Tango after this.

01:12:15Live!

01:12:27Welcome back to the semifinals.

01:12:29We'll continue Prince Night with an Argentine Tango till you got the look from the star who earned 27 for her jive.

01:12:36Here are Jordan and Ezra training for her last dance to get into the finale.

01:12:44Look at us.

01:12:45We've came a long way.

01:12:46Now that we're here, how has this experience been for you?

01:12:49Words can't describe how proud I am that I was able to show the world that I love dancing and it's not just because of my sport.

01:12:56It was actually something that I really wanted to pursue as a little kid.

01:12:59I'm very proud of myself.

01:13:00That little girl is definitely looking up at me right now and being like, you did it.

01:13:05Our Argentine Tango is the last dance before finale.

01:13:10It's going to be a make or break moment.

01:13:12Yes, we have to make this dance a standout.

01:13:15I'm willing to really do anything, tear me apart, do whatever.

01:13:18If I got to be in five different corners.

01:13:20I don't know how, but girl, you will figure it out.

01:13:23It's time to get to work, my dude.

01:13:25I step and you go.

01:13:27But replace my foot.

01:13:28Try it again.

01:13:29In order for us to succeed in this Argentine Tango, Jordan needs to master those boleros and ganjos.

01:13:35So the things that go like.

01:13:36I forgot to flick you.

01:13:38Because everyone at home knows that step and it's iconic.

01:13:42What was this?

01:13:44Get this on the floor.

01:13:45Try it again.

01:13:46It's one of the harder dances that I've had to learn.

01:13:48You missed like five.

01:13:50You missed like five legs.

01:13:51I did.

01:13:52Let's come back this time.

01:13:53Whoa.

01:13:54As a gymnast, we like to tighten our quads.

01:13:57So I do keep kicking Ezra a lot.

01:14:04You roundhouse kicked my shin.

01:14:06That felt intentional.

01:14:07Being eliminated before the finale would really suck.

01:14:10I want to prove to myself that I've gone through a lot, but look at me.

01:14:15I can be strong.

01:14:16I can be passionate.

01:14:17I can be dedicated.

01:14:18So I'm bringing Olympic level energy to make sure we punch our ticket to the finale.

01:14:23Good.

01:14:24That was good.

01:14:25Can you do that again?

01:14:27Dancing the Argentine Tango with her partner Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.

01:14:57Good.

01:14:58Good, good.

01:14:59So I am breaking it down.

01:15:00I will viewmee.

01:15:01It's you're so cruel out of the Hessen 불� as your harness.

01:15:02You got that loaf.

01:15:03I can call you peach and black.

01:15:04You can call me keppin' or black.

01:15:05Crucial.

01:15:06You think I want you.

01:15:07You've got to come job thatvoor you've got to come.

01:15:08You've got the hoop & sure enough to be cockin'.

01:15:09Bahful.

01:15:10Your face is gemmin'.

01:15:11Your fire is heckin' slammin'.

01:15:12Your blood is good.

01:15:14In 2020, it's doo, the absol.

01:15:15It's better off -"Hey Tears send him to get you

01:15:27Let's get to them.

01:15:28You got the look.

01:15:30You got the look.

01:15:35Let me know.

01:15:37Dreamer.

01:15:38Dreamer.

01:15:38You got the look.

01:15:42You got the look.

01:15:50Jordan and Ezra, they got the look with their Argentine tango.

01:15:57All right.

01:16:00All right.

01:16:03All right.

01:16:05Derek.

01:16:07Jordan, listen, I have to tell you, being an athlete, I know that, like, the scores, being on top, being number one is important.

01:16:15Well, I'll tell you, my dear, that was a top performance.

01:16:20I love the lines, the smooth, slick tricks over there, and way to make an entrance.

01:16:27I love that.

01:16:28That was wonderful.

01:16:29Well done.

01:16:30All right.

01:16:31Bruno, beautiful, powerful, focused.

01:16:35She was so strong.

01:16:36You were literally leading.

01:16:39She was leading Ezra.

01:16:41You were really the leading lady of the dance, my darling.

01:16:47Fabulous.

01:16:48All right.

01:16:49Carrie Ann.

01:16:49I'm trying to find the words to describe you, because you stand out.

01:16:55You're in a class of your own.

01:16:56You're always taking the biggest risk.

01:16:59You are always moving forward to your own style.

01:17:02You do not sacrifice what you want to be when you show up on this dance floor for anybody.

01:17:07And I love that.

01:17:08And tonight, that was the bomb.

01:17:11All right.

01:17:13Head on up to the skybox.

01:17:15There is one dance to go in the semifinals.

01:17:18Robert and Whitney will perform a Viennese waltz to a 2014 Prince hit.

01:17:23Julianne.

01:17:24Thanks, Alfonso.

01:17:26Jordan.

01:17:27I see you getting emotional.

01:17:29How are you doing?

01:17:30You want to share anything right now?

01:17:31Yeah.

01:17:32Yeah.

01:17:32Honestly, you know, this has been an incredible journey.

01:17:36And like I said earlier, that little girl in me definitely should be very, very proud.

01:17:43Now, you said you haven't got a perfect score in gymnastics, and you haven't got a perfect score yet on Dancing with the Stars.

01:17:49Are you hoping for that tonight?

01:17:50I am.

01:17:52Let's get your scores.

01:17:55Carrie Ann Inabe.

01:17:57Ten!

01:17:59Derek Huff.

01:18:01Ten!

01:18:02Three, nine, ten, one.

01:18:04Ten!

01:18:05Yes!

01:18:0730 out of 30 for Jordan and as is Argentine Tango.

01:18:11Their total for both dances is 57.

01:18:14Jordan, you did it!

01:18:17And just in time for the finale coming up.

01:18:21All right.

01:18:21Well, if you have been giving them your votes throughout the season, this is not the time to stop.

01:18:26Vote right now to send them to next week's season finale.

01:18:29We're coming right back.

01:18:30Live!

01:18:31Live!

01:18:31We're back with Prince Night.

01:18:43Last up, the star who earned a perfect 30 for his jive performs a Viennese waltz to wow from Prince's 36th album, 2014, Plectum Electrum.

01:18:55Here are Robert and Whitney in training.

01:19:01This is the dance that could get us into the finale.

01:19:05Little 11-year-old me would be screaming right now.

01:19:09You know, when you're little and you enter the Dancing with the Stars ballroom, my eyes are just so wide.

01:19:14It all just seemed so enormous.

01:19:17But having this experience myself, it actually feels ten times bigger.

01:19:21I am walking a path that my sister forged, but now in the semifinals, it's time to write our own story and it's time to create my own legacy.

01:19:33There's no room for anything other than perfect because I know that everybody else is going to be bringing their best.

01:19:38I just want to pour my heart and soul into it.

01:19:41Let's amp this up and get ourselves to the finale.

01:19:44Let's go.

01:19:45Viennese waltz.

01:19:46It's a lot of rotation.

01:19:47The difficult part about Viennese waltz for Robert is the footwork and the technique.

01:19:50So that there's no stumbles and there's no falls.

01:19:53Oh my God.

01:19:54There are such high stakes.

01:19:56Crap.

01:19:57So it really has to be perfect.

01:19:59Get into it.

01:20:00It's just the character.

01:20:01The hardest part of this Viennese waltz is the fact that I have to be so passionate and intense with Whitney.

01:20:06That's just not our dynamic.

01:20:08This is weird.

01:20:09Closer.

01:20:11This show has been everything to me and we have hit a lot of challenges along the way.

01:20:18Tonight, if we get this right, we're on to the finale and that will be the ultimate dream come true.

01:20:27Dancing the Viennese waltz with his partner Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin.

01:20:44Hello.

01:20:47Hello.

01:20:48Lookin' so fine.

01:20:51Now it's true.

01:20:53Remember the time we were first met.

01:20:57You think that was good.

01:20:59You ain't seen nothin' yet.

01:21:01Like a beat in the morning.

01:21:04Walk to a plane.

01:21:06You're an addiction and you got me to play.

01:21:11You're not going to go game.

01:21:13Because I made no president.

01:21:14I made no dreams.

01:21:16Wow.

01:21:16A beat in the unexpected.

01:21:19You keep calling.

01:21:26Wow.

01:21:26You keep calling, calling, calling.

01:21:27Robert and Whitney with a Viennese waltz.

01:21:48Oh, yeah.

01:21:52You delivered that one, dude.

01:21:54Yeah.

01:21:54That was the final dance.

01:21:57Voting will be closing soon.

01:22:00Bruno, take it away.

01:22:02Go!

01:22:03Robert and Top Gun mode.

01:22:06It's like Tom Cruise.

01:22:08One blockbuster after another.

01:22:11That was so thrilling.

01:22:14I want to see the sequel.

01:22:16I didn't want it to stop.

01:22:17What is he going to do next?

01:22:20You'll do it in the final.

01:22:22Trust me.

01:22:23Trust me.

01:22:25Trust me.

01:22:25All right, all right.

01:22:26Carrie-Anne.

01:22:27You always deliver such fun, strong performances, but tonight you did.

01:22:32You drew us in in a different way.

01:22:34You made us curious about you.

01:22:35Telling the story like that in sort of like that subtle way, this is the evolution of dance

01:22:41that I love watching and our contestants.

01:22:43You.

01:22:44It means a lot.

01:22:44No, Mitchie.

01:22:45Like, I feel like I'm your mom.

01:22:47Like, I'm so proud of you.

01:22:50I'm just so proud of you.

01:22:51And I think we all are.

01:22:52Well done.

01:22:53All right.

01:22:54Derek.

01:22:54Get over here.

01:22:58Get over here, guys.

01:22:59Go hugging.

01:23:00I love you.

01:23:00Hug it out.

01:23:03Hug it out.

01:23:03Go hugging.

01:23:04All right.

01:23:05Robert, Robert, I'll say I have eight seconds.

01:23:08That was a ferocious Venus waltz.

01:23:10The way you, like, just commanded that with a body.

01:23:13Every fiber of your body dances.

01:23:15And I love that.

01:23:16The frame.

01:23:17You know.

01:23:19But listen.

01:23:19Sure.

01:23:20I can't wait to see what you do in the final, buddy.

01:23:22Thank you, man.

01:23:23All right.

01:23:23Head on up to the Skybox YouTube.

01:23:26Next Tuesday night, we've got three hours of nonstop dancing for our Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

01:23:32There are three intense rounds of competition, including the judges' choice round, the instant dances,

01:23:38and the freestyles, where there are no rules.

01:23:42Our season finale airs live on ABC and Disney+.

01:23:46Julianne.

01:23:47Thank you, Alfonso.

01:23:48And, by the way, it's going to be an epic finish to this epic season.

01:23:52That was the last dance of the semifinals.

01:23:55How are you both feeling?

01:23:56Oh, my goodness.

01:23:57I'm terrified.

01:23:59I'm excited.

01:23:59I never thought I would make it to this point.

01:24:03You know, I had a few ideas of what this show would bring, seeing my sister do it.

01:24:07But I wasn't prepared for the lifelong friendships you make and the feeling of flying.

01:24:14I mean, it is like that.

01:24:15It's amazing.

01:24:17It's so true.

01:24:18Let's get your scores.

01:24:20Carrie-Anne in Naube.

01:24:22It's a 10!

01:24:24Derek Hux.

01:24:259!

01:24:27Bruno Tanya.

01:24:2810!

01:24:2910!

01:24:29All right.

01:24:3029 out of 30 for Robert and Whitney.

01:24:32These walls.

01:24:33Their total for both dances is 59.

01:24:35This is your last chance to vote for the couples you want to see dancing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy next week.

01:24:43Voting will be closing soon.

01:24:45Alfonso.

01:24:45All right.

01:24:46Thanks, Julianne.

01:24:47Now that all of the scores are in for all of the dances, let's check out the final judges leaderboard of the night.

01:24:53At the top are Robert and Whitney with 59.

01:24:56And at the bottom, it's Dylan and Daniella with 55.

01:24:59Every star needs votes from you to survive tonight's elimination and earn a spot in next week's season finale.

01:25:06We'll take one last look at all the voting details for all of our couples.

01:25:10Complete voting information can be found on ABC.com.

01:25:13We will combine the judges' scores with your votes and reveal your finalists when we come back live.

01:25:32We're back.

01:25:33You have done it again.

01:25:35Tonight, we have received the most votes in the history of the show.

01:25:39So thank you.

01:25:40Voting is now closed.

01:25:42And here are the results.

01:25:44Good luck to all of you.

01:25:46We've combined the judges' scores from tonight with your live votes.

01:25:50Now in no particular order, let's find out which couples will be dancing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy

01:25:56and who will be going home one week short of the finale.

01:26:02The first couple who is dancing in next week's season finale is...

01:26:09She's 54, she's injured, and she just made the finale.

01:26:20Elaine and Alex!

01:26:37Alex and Val!

01:26:38And joining them in the season finale are...

01:26:53And in no particular order, the next couple who has made it to the finale is...

01:27:01Dylan and Daniella!

01:27:04Well, not necessarily the bottom two.

01:27:10One of these remaining couples is saved.

01:27:11The other had the lowest combined total of judges' scores and viewer votes from tonight.

01:27:15And we'll be leaving right now.

01:27:17It's time for the final result.

01:27:23Whitney and Mark.

01:27:25Jordan and Ezra.

01:27:27Based on the combination of the judges' scores and viewer votes, the last couple who will be going to the finale is...

01:27:40Jordan and Ezra.

01:27:41Which means, sadly, Whitney and Mark will be leaving tonight.
