Heres how it started: Abbys hair is wild and she is yelling at someone LOUDLY. We soon realize its her office manager. Abby starts screaming at the shows producers to get out of her face! Credit: Lifetime Office manager storms out/Abby fires her. Abby walks out like nothing happened, says the office manger walked out. Its time for the pyramid! Maddie is on the bottom of the pyramid!? Abby announces that they will be dancing to Bob Fosse songs a mature dance in heels!...

In practice its not. The ALDC is back in Los Angeles and is coming off a MAJOR loss at nationals versus Jeanettes team. She tells them that there will be no more outside activities (i.e. Credit: Bobby Quillard/Quillard Inc. ; auditions, other gigs), and that they need to focus on dancing. A new girl, Brynn, joins the cast, who Abby claims could be Maddies replacement. I ask my girls what they think of Brynn and without blinking they say, I dont like her....

Just because it was Disney Night onDancing with the Starsdoesnt mean everyone got their happy ending. Someone had to turn in their glass slippers and go home! But first, a spoiler alert! Credit: ABC Dont read on if you havent watched Mondays installment of the ABC show. Marla Maples was teary-eyed after performing last weeks jive, which didnt leave the judges feeling Happy. (She and Tony Dovolani danced it to the Pharrell Williams song)....

As reigning champion Bindi Irwin reminded us, tonight was all about having fun in all the sparkles. Well said, Bindi. The best part of this season though, is that its still anyones mirror ball trophy to win. Credit: Adam Taylor/ABC But before we crown our newDancing With the Starschampion, lets talk filler highlights. THE ENCORE DANCES Finalists and eliminated contestants-alike give us some reminders as to why season 22 was so memorable....

A finale full of the holiday spirit gives way to the new ‘DWTS’ champ. Do you feel that excitement in the air, ballroom babes? But which celeb will inherit theDWTStitle from Rumer Willis and take home that coveted Mirrorball Trophy? Credit: Adam Taylor/ABC The winter is long and hard enough as it is. But the finale is, first and foremost, a celebration of the season that was. Some call it filler, I call it That Person Was On This Season?...

Carlos channeled Channing Tatum, and we loved it! But will she judge her own dance more harshly? Even though he doesnt know whatGreaseis, somehow I forgive him. Credit: ABC Hes ready to channel his inner Travolta a tough order considering Olivia Newton-John has her eyes on him! I have to admit I thought Id love this routine, but Im not impressed. We know hes capable of more. And Im glad they pull off the couch move!...

7 perfect scores and so many tears! Who freestyled their way closer to the win? Meghan Trainor kicks off Part 1 of finale night minus amega makeout session! Credit: ABC Moral of the story? Never underestimate the power of a former Nickelodeon star. Carrie Ann joins them for rehearsals, where she reveals theyll be dancing the hottest dance there is. Spoiler alert: He nails it. The performance was fast, on point, fun, and did you seethat flip thing?...

Did they get eliminated by default? And which duos are one week closer to that mirror ball trophy? Lets get this recapping started! Credit: ABC Im pretty sure it breaks some health codes, but as Julianne says, he looks great! Im drained just from watching it, so I can only imagine how Alexa feels. Right off the bat, the two get points for choosing my current song obsession. As Carrie Ann said, they had a lot going on, and it didnt quite come together....

No, I totally wasnt either. Now I look forward to the Switch Up! Its an interesting experiment where for one week, were all Gwyneth Paltrow inSliding Doors. Credit: ABC And who doesnt want to be a post-Brad Pitt, pre-Goop Gwyneth Paltrow for a week? Cmon, you know youre curious. WanyaMorris and WitneyCarson Tango|Hold Back the River by James Bay Its no secret that Wanya is a front runner. Hes got the talent, the swagger, and the drive....

The ballroom transforms into the happiest place on earth (just kidding, it always was!) On an evening where its much more about the spectacle of it all did we really need the gazelle? everyone brought their dancing A-game. Credit: ABC Well, except for Doug. After last weeks disappointing scores, shes changing up the game plan. Whatever she does, it works. Like, a lot. Sharna describes this as the 2016 pimp version ofAladdin, and I hope the Disney execs are paying attention....

Dont get me wrong. Its easy to let this slide though. Second, one of the routines features one boy band member dancing to another boy bands song. Credit: ABC The 13-year-old in my soul is beside herself. And finally, regardless of how famous any of these dances actually are, every single couplebrought ittonight. No disrespect to Keo, but Kim and Sasha just fit together. All the bouncing in the jive isnt helping the issue....

Happy Halloween from the ballroom, dance lovers! Alas, there was no Hammertime tonight, but there was plenty of ghoulish fun. Seriously,Dancing With the Starskeeps Halloween looking right and tight. Credit: ABC So, whose dances were scarily good, and whose were just plain scary? After all, practice makes perfect, right, Nick? The judges found his Argentine tango a bit clunky. But overall, Bruno wanted a sharper, more surprising routine. Not all was lost though....

And another pregnancy is revealed! And its just not the same. Well, being back at the live show, I guess. Credit: ABC Anyway, bring on the dancing! Although if hereallywanted to pay tribute to the singer, he wouldve worn sunglasses…but I digress. Bruno, though, loved it. And theres no doubt Carlos was in his element throughout the performance. I may not be an expert, but I say boo. She chooses David, as in David and Goliath, as her influential figure because religion motivates her....
