PureDWTS Season 22 Finale, Night 2 – 24-Hour Fusion Dances Revealed **SPOILERS**
Please forgive the incomplete info – doing the best I can, kids 😛
ETA: George Pennacchio filled in my gaps. Nyle’s song is a guess on my part, as George only said that their song was called “Summer”. Now if all of you who like to complain about every tango done to an EDM song “was just a copy of Meryl & Maks'” don’t bitch about Peta & Nyle’s…then YOU, my friends, are hypocrites. 😉
Ginger & Val – Argentine tango/Foxtrot (song: “Just Like Fire” by Pink)
Nyle & Peta – Tango/Cha Cha (song: “Summer” by Calvin Harris(?))
Paige & Mark – Salsa/Jive (song: “Little Bitty Pretty One” by Thurston Harris)
Thoughts? How convenient that Val got Argentine tango again – he can just recycle the last 5 ones he did, which were all just remixes of the previous one he did. Having a hard time remembering Nyle’s tango, but wasn’t that one that he bungled up on? Paige is gonna look so stinkin’ cute doing a salsa/jive. 🙂
Here’s to a fun finale! 😎
Thanks Court!! Excited for Paige’s dance. 🙂 Nyle’s Tango was for Most Memorable Year Week. He started the dance sitting on a chair on the stage by the band and danced to a song by Owl City.
In case I forget to say this later, thank you so much to all the Mods for all your hard work this season! You make this frustrating show much more enjoyable.
I’m pretty stoked for Paige’s dance. I agree when you say the Val is just going to recycle things from previous dances, probably not going to be memorable. Can’t wait to see the other half of Nyle’s! Is the order of go still the same from last night, or did it change?
If that isn’t a hand Paige the mirror ball combo if I’ve ever seen one I’ll eat my hat. A salsa that will be the 3rd time she’s had (and with 24 hours to add more “hip action” Len’s contacts weren’t working for him to see the first time around) plus the jive that she got her first perfect on…I can’t wait!!
Interesting (maybe) little tidbit, I just went back and checked, and neither A Tango/Foxtrot nor Salsa/Jive have been done before. I’m curious to see how they’ll work (I’d be more interested in the former if Val wasn’t choreographing).
This will be an interesting group of fusion dances to close out a very interesting season. I’m looking forward to ti.
And to give credit where credit is due, thank you to the AMAZING mods here that respond, inform, and slay when needed! Love you!
Thanks for the info! I’ve enjoyed following along all season, great job once again ladies!
I bet you Nyle has Cha-Cha or Paso as his other style!
The whole 24-hour fusion challenge is yet another stupid idea I wish TPTB would lose. However, they thrill at the faux-drama of it all. So the least they can do is give the couples dances they were good at and did recently, which is looks like they did.
Personally, I’d much rather see the couples performing a well-rehearsed “couples’ favorite” dance than some piece of schlock they had to slap together in a couple hours in the middle of the night when they’re dog-tired from the stress of Monday’s show. Of course, what am I thinking? That this is supposed to be an entertainment show? Silly me, DWTS is now an edgy, high-melodrama, survival-of-the-fittest reality show.
I’m not really a fan of the “24 Hour Fusion Challenge”. It just doesn’t feel as exciting. I’d rather see encore performances of their best dances like Nyle or Paige’s from Disney Night or something.
I also found last night to be one of the most underwhelming finales. Nyle’s freestyle just felt like every other one of his performances. Ginger has no place in the finale as she barely dances. Paige’s freestyle was beautiful, but I’d rather that had been her contemporary. Freestyles should be fun and exciting. Some of my favorites were the ones with so much energy like Sadie’s or Drew Lachey’s or even Kyle Massey’s.
I still think Nyle will win just because his story is so amazing and what he has done all season long is so impressive, but I’d love for Mark to win again because his choreography is always so creative and top notch.
Thank you everyone here at Pure DWTS for all of your hard work all year long. I’m hoping season 23 brings less drama and more actual dancing instead of just choreographed movement around props and set pieces (Ginger & Val).
Is the dance order for the fusion dances the same order as last night?
Cidra I agree I’d much rather have something like an Encore dance from each couple.
Nyle and Peta are doing Tango/Cha Cha to Summer per George Pennacchio on Twitter. This is really a season where it could go either way. I prefer Nyle, but I wouldn’t be upset with Ginger or Paige.
Well if history repeats itself…the one that usually dances their fusion dance last is the winner, as it has been since Season 17. Paige dances last tonight. Nyle is second and Ginger is first per ABC7George’s twitter.
I’d like to think that going last might bode well for Paige, but given TPTB history for mind games, I’m afraid to read much into it! They know what historically has happened so they may want to fool us and pull a “shocker” with people anticipating one thing and getting another!
Fingers crossed for Paige. I’ll be at work so won’t see who wins 🙁
Hey Court, do you really want George Pennacchio filling your gap? 😯 I miss George and his red carpet interviews, but……????
Leigh, hang in there, baby! It’ll all be over soon one way or another. As for TPTB knowing what has happened historically?? Girlfriend, you’re giving those ‘eejuts’ a lot more credit for having brains (or using them) than I believe they deserve (but them I’m a cynical old broad).
