The finals.

Updated November 27:

For the instant dance, the couples had to prepare three different routines, one of which they would perform for the finale.

As for the jive, she nailed the footwork. Bruno said they had the energy of two randy rabbits. The jive is difficult and sometimes Kelly lost some bounce, but the effect was magnificent. Carrie Ann was impressed with how in synch they were for an instant dance. They received three 9.5s from the judges.
