It's been a long journey but it has to come to an end. Tonight is the night, a mirror ball trophy will be won. The three finalists are Alfonso Ribiero, Janel Parrish and Sadie Robertson and they have had just 24 hours to practice two dance styles they have to fuse together. First the previously eliminated contestants come back and some special guests such as Twitch, Nick Jonas, Jennifer Hudson and Meghan Trainor stop by.

But about the finalists:
Alfonso and Witney - Cha Cha/Argentine Tango - 40 - Total for both nights is 120 - Alfonso booked a commercial with Michael Jackson which lead to his role on Silver Spoons. Then as a young adult he earned the role of "Carlton" on Fresh Prince of Bel Air (which he considers his most cherished role). Here's some tidbits about Alfonso: he directed an episode of Shake It Up starring former DWTS contestant Zendaya; his favorite dance was the week 9 Paso Doble; he has lost 24 pounds since the start; his turning point during the season was doing 'The Carlton' week 4; he does cryotherapy before and after performances; he is notoriously late for rehearsals; he's an avid race car driver. Some tidbits about Witney: it's her first time in the finals; she has over 100 cousins.

Janel and Val - Foxtrot/Paso - 40 - Total for both nights is 117 - Janel was born in Oahu. She auditioned for Les Miserables at age 6 and moved to LA. From there she booked her role of "Mona" on Pretty Little Liars. Here's her tidbits of info: her fave dance was contemporary in week 8; she has 17 tattoos; her turning p pint during the season was when Val walked out of their rehearsal; at 5'2 she's the shortest contestant; she still sleeps with a teddy bear. Here's some tidbits about Val: he makes Janel use weights each rehearsal to build muscle; he thinks Janel's toes are too long; his first job was dancing in a Russian restaurant at age 12; they are not dating (yeah right).

Sadie and Mark - Quickstep/Samba - 40 - Total for both nights is 118 - Sadie was born in West Monroe Louisiana. She is a part of the Duck Dynasty clan. Tidbits about Sadie: she always puts God first; she says 2 prayers before every show (once with her family and once with Mark); she travelled to Austria on the Junior Olympic Basketball Team; her family doesn't dance a lot, school doesn't allow dancing (prom was just a dinner); she always has at least one family member in the audience; her favorite dance was zombie Paso Doble week 7; her favorite food is duck wraps; her turning point was the trip dance week 9; her family approves all her wardrobe on the show; chose to be on the show to be closer to her maternal grandmother. Mark's tidbits: he suffered a broken toe this season and no one knew; made up jingles with Sadie to help her remember the moves.

Special announcement: Alfonso is joining Witney on tour (Janel will also make an appearance).

::SPOILER ALERT:: Third place goes to... Janel and Val. What a shocker!!! THE MIRROR BALL WINNER IS..... ALFONSO AND WITNEY!!!!!!!!
