Kicking off the show was Jacoby Jones who was dancing the Jive, showed good energy and performed well. His footwork has improved and it was a fun number. I would have liked to have seen a little better posture and more musicality. On the whole a difficult dance which was performed well.

Second up was gymnast Aly Raisman dancing Samba. If I just looked at performance and body rhythm this would be great. I feel that she could have used her legs and feet better but these technical aspects always take the most time to see improvement.

Kellie Pickler was third and she danced the Quickstep and they managed to improve on the Quickstep they did previously. This had great elements and character as well as a good technique which is essential to make this dance look easy. Very nice frame, poise and connection were shown.

Last but not least was Zendaya who danced the Samba. This was a strong confident performance which had a better technique than when danced previously. It had impact and was dynamic and she has a presence when she dances which oozes confidence.

Next was the relay round which was the Cha Cha and the best couple can earn an additional 5 points towards their total score. All the couples danced well and the highest score was awarded to Zendaya followed by Kellie then Ali and finally Jacoby.
The final round tonight was the Freestyle round which has absolutely no rules and this is the dance that can make or break somebody's chances of taking home the trophy.
Jacoby's final number was a celebration of New Orleans and had a mardi gras theme. Some of the synchronization was missing and I didn't feel it highlighted his strengths but it was a good performance.

Aly's freestyle wasn't your typical number. It had a futuristic contemporary feeling that was well executed including the poles that were incorporated to highlight Aly's flexibility and gymnastic attributes.

Kellie Pickler went next with a very simple idea of just showcasing the romantic elements of a relationship between a man and woman through dancing. I was blown away by the story and the character she was able to portray and the flexibility that hasn't been spotlighted before. An incredible performance, maybe the best freestyle ever on dwts.

The final judged performance of the season was Zendaya and while it was well matched and incorporated different elements from different styles. Normally I would say it was very good but after watching Kellie Pickler and Derek it just didn't excite me in the same way.
