'Dancing' To Crown 16th Champ

Posted on 12:25 by Unknown

Tonight is the two hour grand finale of ABC's hit show Dancing With the Stars. But who will win the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy?

First off, I found it intriguing when the show announced that online voting on ABC.com was down, eliminating one of the four voting methods (the others being phone, text and Facebook). Given that voting by text is only open to AT&T customers I, along with many others, were limited to just two methods.

Throughout the night, I constantly checked back to see if online voting was working. Each time I clicked the link, it just sent me to the show's Facebook voting app, in which I'd already hit my voting limit for the night. All in all, I only got to vote 10 times for my favorite. 

How convenient.

Okay, that being said, let's move on to the actual performances. The four remaining couples had three dances each: Judges' Pick, Cha-Cha Relay and Freestyle. 

Disney star, Zendaya, and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were at the top of the leaderboard with a perfect 65 points. NFL player, Jacoby Jones, and his partner, Karina Smirnoff, were in fourth place with 56 points. Olympic gymnast, Aly Raisman, placed third while Country star and Idol alum, Kellie Pickler, came in second garnering 61 and 64 points respectively. 

Tonight, the couples will have an "instant" dance they must learn and perform in under an hour for additional points.

So who will be the champ?

I'd be shocked if either Jacoby or Aly won the top prize. Neither did themselves any favors in the Cha-Cha Relay and their other two performances were just okay to me.

It should come down to Zendaya and Kellie who've been the best dancers this entire season. I really like both of them but I think Zendaya should win the title. She's really been amazing from day one and has a lot of personality and charisma when she dances. She also seems to have connected more with the audience from day one, which took a bit longer for Kellie to do.

Honestly, I think she won the competition with her hip-hop routine to Chris Brown's "Fine China" last week (not to discredit her perfect dances this week). It was smooth, funny and just downright awesome. It would also be neat to see a younger person win (not saying Pickler isn't young) especially after Roshon Fegan got royally screwed over a couple seasons ago, being eliminated after placing second on the leaderboard that week.

I say #TeamValdaya for the win!
