Monday Entertainment Buzz: ‘DWTS’ dance pro hit with flu before finale, more

The two-night Dancing With the Stars season finale begins Monday, November 21, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. There’s no way she’s going anywhere. We had standing ovations and flawless scores. Head judge Len Goodman added that it was “a fabulous dance to close a fabulous season”. “Right on the money, honey!”

The contestant judge Julianne Hough dubbed “Disney’s Beyoncé” during TV Night (week 2) has been on the higher end of the leader board for the majority of the season, and received the first ideal score on Cirque du Soleil Night in Week 4.

“I’m just so excited I was able to have this opportunity”, Hernandez, who was paired with dance pro Val Chmerkovskiy, told ET’s Cameron Mathison. It’s been reported that Gleb Savchenko has the flu. “Thank you so much!” Indy auto driver James Hinchcliffe talked in depth about his near-fatal crash.

Who are the four couples in the running? Is it Laurie and Valentin or Hinchcliffe and Burgess? We soon learn she is joining Val and the other pros on the upcoming “Dancing with the Stars” tour.

Who do you think goes home tonight on Dancing with the Stars 2016?

“It’s been an incredible season from start to finish”, she shared.

Savchenko is still planning to perform with Kramer, however. One of them, we hope, fingers crossed, could be bringing that mirror-ball trophy back to Ford Field for a visit. It was revealed that DWTS season 23 contestants signed contracts of $125,000, with the pay increasing steadily the longer they stick around on the show. “He’s really proud of himself”.

Hernandez garnered flawless scores from the judges in five of her final six dances this season. Below, you can find what you need to know about watching the first half of the finale online or on TV. “On top of that, she’s the sweetest little girl ever”. Who does she think will win it all Tuesday night? Country singer Jana Cramer was eliminated on Monday night.
