They are the reason.

Thats why I did so well every week.

They really gave me that inspiration.

Im so grateful for that.

This is such an amazing feeling, said DiMarcos partner Peta Murgatroyd.

This whole thing has been so incredible because of this man.

I owe everything to him.

It earned a perfect 30.

Youll get no sympathy votes from me, said judge Len Goodman.

I just judge from what I see.

You deserve to be in this final.

You came out and attacked the dance like a hurricane, said Tonioli.
