Last steps for Noah Galloway in ‘Dancing with the Stars’ finals
Monday, May 18th, 2015Noah Galloway and trainer Sharna Burgess tango (again)
to “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne.
Noah Galloway has been an underdog throughout “Dancing with the Stars.” But this underdog made it to the finals, competing against the season’s leaders Riker Lynch and Rumer Willis.
Fan votes have played a key role in his week-to-week survival. It may again tonight.
The Alabaster trainer, paired with pro Sharna Burgess, stepped onto the floor for two final dances.
The first round was a reprise of their Argentine tango, which earned a 30 in Week 3. Tonight’s improved-but-uneven version earned 32 points out of 40 possible.
The second round was a freestyle dance to show Noah’s vulnerable side. The pair scored a perfect 40 out of 40, one of five perfect scores handed out this evening.
Their total 72 points put Noah and Sharna in third place, with Riker and Rumer tied for first with 80 points.
The standings for Week 10, with Round 3 on Tuesday:
- 1. (tie) 80: Riker Lynch, Rumer Willis
- 3. 72: Noah Galloway
The winner will be crowned during Tuesday’s 2-hour season finale, starting at 8 p.m. on ABC 33/40.
