TV

Bindi Irwin delivers an emotional freestyle and is among one of the three celebrity contestants who move on to night two of the season 21 finale.

AceShowbiz - The competition is nearing the end on "Dancing with the Stars" season 21. The remaining four pairs danced twice in night one of the finale. In the first part, they would perform a dance chosen by the judges. In the second part, the top four would perform a freestyle routine.

Carlos Pena Jr. (a.k.a. Carlos PenaVega) and Witney Carson were the first to dance that night. They danced a foxtrot chosen by Bruno Tonioli. It was an intense number and Julianne Hough called it "the sexiest foxtrot." Bruno praised Carlos' footwork. The judges gave him a perfect score of 30.

Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold danced a rumba chosen by Carrie Ann Inaba. Bruno praised his commitment, but the judges agreed that the hip action was too little. Alek earned 27 points.

Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess danced a jive chosen by Julianne. The Backstreet Boys member redid the dance from week 2 with improvement as the judges sang praises for him. "You nailed those kicks, I was watching, you never went wrong," Bruno commented, "You two were as hot as Elvis and Ann Margaret and that is a compliment."

Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough danced a quickstep chosen by Carrie Ann. It was full of content and the judges praised the content. "That really was a gem for the quickstep, every aspect was gleaming like a brilliant cut diamond. The content was incredible, the foot work precise and you always have faith in your partner," Bruno said. Bindi got 30 points.

Carlos and Witney were back for the second dance, a freestyle which combined hip-hop and salsa. They brought back Alexa Vega, Hayes Grier and Paula Deen to do cameos. It was a fun routine and the judges loved how fresh it was. Carlos earned additional 30 points for a total score of 60.

Alek and Lindsay's freestyle included an obstacle course that represented some serious problems in rehearsal. Bruno praised the choreography and Julianne said that people would remember the performance three to five years from now. Alek earned 30 points. His total score is now 57.

Bindi and Derek danced a freestyle about Bindi's dad. It was simple, powerful, beautiful and emotional. "What you did is showed us the power of dance, it was pure, you touched all of our souls," Bruno commented as Julianne gushed, "This is probably the best finale ever." Bindi also earned 30 points, for a total of 60 points.

Nick and Sharna danced a freestyle to BSB's "Larger Than Life" as he wanted to deliver a spectacular performance. He also got 30 points and sits on the top of learderboard with Carlos and Bindi.

Despite the fact that Bindi, Carlos and Nick are going neck to neck with 60 points each, it was shockingly announced that Carlos and Witney were eliminated that night. So Bindi, Nick and Alek are the top three who will compete for the Mirror Ball trophy on Tuesday.
