It's finally the last episode of the all-star season and it's down to Allison, Lisa, and Angelea.
The final three celebrated about being the final three. All three had their doubts. Lisa had a lot of mental and physical abuse to overcome. Angelea sees redemption after having hard work and living off of food stamps. Allison was introverted and still missed her father who she lost to cancer. The...

With the finale next week the girls have to impress Franca Sozzani, Tyson Beckford, and Tyra
Last Week: We had a recap show that didn't show much, except for the fact that everyone likes Allison and Allison did try to make friends with the misunderstood Alexandria. That and the fact that Bianca was loud, but couldn't really back up her talk with strong photos.

It's down to the last two dances as three couples vie for the mirrorball trophy.
It's the last day of the competition and the last three competitors were fighting for the win. Each of the competitors had their own journey, but only one can win.

It's down to JR, Ricki, and Rob in two dances for the mirror ball trophy.
After weeks of competition twelve celebrities have been whittled down to the final three: Rob Kardashian, JR Martinez, and Ricki Lake. For night one, the dancers had their final unlearned dance and the Freestyle. It seems quite unfair for both Ricki and JR to have the Cha-Cha after doing the Cha-...

The girls have to judge themselves and model like Greek goddesses.
We return to Greece, filled with stereotypical grainy promotional shots. I'm not sure why ANTM likes using tourism videos, but they stick out like a sore thumb. Dominique was happy that she was the dark horse even though she had the top photo last week. Since her season, Dominique has evolved. She...

With only three spaces in the finale, the celebrities have to impress with three dances
It's a busy night for the celebrities as they all vie for only three spots in the finals. The contestants had to dance to three songs including the Relay, which was last seen during Season 9. Sadly this probably means that the Salsa won't be seen this season since the contestants are finishing...

In Greece, the girls have to impress locals and pose in a Greek salad.
After the last elimination, the girls managed to have some down time and had lunch. I'm sure there was a weary eye as each of the girls was considered a fierce competitor. Dominique used her children as motivation, but Angelea thought that she was a fake actress. Angelea wondered if one day...

With the instant jive, the celebrities had only 20 minutes to create magic
We're finally at the point where the contestants have to deal with two dances and we met the return of the Instant Dance. The Instant Dance is themed to Jive this year, so I'm convinced they are trying to get someone to fall from not knowing choreography. Will anyone rise to the occasion? We...

The girls expand from model to musician. Just like Tyra.
With last week's double elimination, Angelea was happy that Bianca was gone because she became the spice of the party. We ended up getting a lot of Angelea providing snarky commentary for the rest of the episode. Lisa was relieved that she had the best photo but she knew that there was pressure for...

The contestants get into the spirit of Halloween and dance in teams.
The competition took both a haunting and funny tone as Dancing with the Stars transformed into a Halloween theme. They had cute moments where, instead of the show being "Live from Hollywood," it was "Dead" and several unnecessary uses of CGI ghosts and spiders to add to the mystique. Even though...
