‘Dancing with the Stars 21’ finale: Format for Bindi Irwin, Carlos PenaVega, final four

The “Dancing with the Stars” finale on Monday and Tuesday night is going to be more than just a two-day affair filled with guest stars and probably filler content; it is also going to be one of the most exhausting two days that the remaining contestants could probably go through. If Bindi Irwin, Nick Carter, Carlos PenaVega, and Alek Skarlatos really want to walk away with the Mirrorball Trophy, they are really going to have to earn it.

So what are these contestants specifically going to be having to do? This is something that we figured it would be fun to break down here.

On the first night, we are going to see the four Stars take part in the classic freestyle, which is always a lot of fun, along with a routine that the judges help to create with the pros that is another try at a dance style already performed during the season. Basically, this is a twist on the classic “just come out and perform the same song again” routine that we have seen the show do before in the past.

At the end of Monday’s show, someone will be eliminated in fourth place, and the remaining three pairs come back on Tuesday to do first the 24-hour fusion challenge (one of the reasons that they are so exhausted), and also a complete reprisal of a routine from earlier on in the season. In the end, there’s a lot going on!
