OMG!!! Charity brought the intensity to that dance. Charity’s killed that routine very sharp and intense I thought it was perfection. So much content & flawless.

[@GracieUnderFireFire]

These judges ought to know if they let Artem choreograph a tango in the finale it’s going to be INCREDIBLE!!!

[@stacytrowell6890]

He definitely the best at the Latin dances!!! Heck, he makes you want to tango with him!!! Waltz too!!!😂😂😂

[@user-wg8bh2mp9w]

​@@stacytrowell6890tango isn't latin......lol

[@stacytrowell6890]

Where did I say tango is Latin? I said he terrific at the laying dances, and I want to tango and waltz with him!!!

[@user-wg8bh2mp9w]

@stacytrowell6890 well this video and the posted comment above is about his tango specifically....so why just randomly say anything about the latin lol

[@stacytrowell6890]

@user-wg8bh2mp9w Because I think he's one of the best DWTS dancers and love watching him dance!!!

[@Hmy8799]

WHO DID NOT GIVE THIS PIECE OF PERFECTION A 10?!?!

[@getcreativeordie4010]

Right????

[@TheWhiteRabbit727]

Carrie Ann. She saw the foot missteps (there were 2 to catch, but she only saw one) and said as much so she got a 9.

[@user-wg8bh2mp9w]

There were misteps, the frame was not good enough. She requires more shaping through the upper half of her body to create a V shape, and the body contact was faltering.

[@GirlSpeakUp]

@@user-wg8bh2mp9w lies.

[@pb4ugo19]

My gosh, I could watch Artem dance all day. He is a gorgeous dancer. He makes you want to dance with him!

[@shimasharei3650]

She killed it🔥🔥🔥

[@lizcr.herbal]

One word: Classy!

[@anyfrazier8297]

Impeccable performance

[@shlby69m]

Her freestyle was amazing!

[@raniahussienfahed851]

It was her best dance yet just perfect.. I'm so proud of this team

[@sabrinasatterfield3130]

Charity's lines are pencil sharp and beautiful. No one this season came close in displaying such lines 1:44 . Artem really captured her strengths and beauty thru the choreography. This was a professional level performance and the judges knew this. Actually most of her dances had professional level precision. Surely she could have worked on more passion, but these performances were were still just stunning. ❤ Great season Charity and Artem.

[@nichistein]

Look at the intensity in her face! Her sharp movements, that back arch👀, she is a beautiful ballroom dancer 🔥🔥

[@destyneefloyd6804]

this was probably her best dance of the season she did AMAZING

[@nichistein]

The ending pose with the bent leg like dang 👏👏

[@e.r.330]

Finally! I've enjoyed all their dances, but in this one, they brought the intensity and connection I've been craving! This was so good! ❤👏🏾 Sigh, they should have won. Fantastic job!!!

[@justforjacob]

look how much better the dances are when they are danced to appropriate music for the style.

[@stacytrowell6890]

I agree!!! I hate when they dance to music that doesn't work for the style of dance!!! Strictly Come Dancing never does that!!!

[@marieromain1076]

ELEGANT. CLASSIC Argentine tango.........

[@ainsleyphillip6180]

Loooooooooovvvvvvvve Charity Lawson. Such an incredible, extremely talented and very beautiful lady. Love these 2. Such amazing talented people ♥️♥️

[@nenapeltin1180]

Loved, loved, loved it! Go, Charity and Artem! I have watched it many times, and I am impressed both with the dancing and the physical beauty of the two of these people every time! Charity, you deserved more than fourth overall, and I am thrilled that you were asked to join the tour! You are such a determined and talented person! Artem, you are an amazing teacher!

[@aliciahayes2178]

Other couple can mess up on their dance and she will give them a 10 but when it is Charity she gives her a 9 she didn't mess up on this dance.

[@kendramasse]

honestly i think it has more to do with the fact that artem and carrie ann dated a while back and she still resents him or tries to make him lower than others.

[@aliciahayes2178]

@kendramasse oh wow I don't know they use to date back in the day.

[@Mercygay]

Girl that was flawlessly sharp.Be proud of yourself Charity.This is hard but you've done it.Proud of you!

[@cherryred6082]

Best Dance of the season both Technique and performance wise!!! From having the only int. tango frame I've seen this season, which is more diagonal than the other dances, to her footwork, her intensity, and the partnering skills between them. Also Nice sharp same foot lunge, and nice extension at 58. Loved the argentine tango flourishes as well. The judges scores at the final were a joke. From Jason getting 10s having the worst frame of the competition, to Xochit making mistakes but not being mentioned etc. Sadly this is a popularity contest but this dance was just stunning!!

[@user-wm7wl3ou5f]

Well done girl such killer dancers to tango I’m proud of you sweetheart ❤

[@mlwins7]

I love this music cause I can easily play it on a trumpet.

[@LTL_59]

Charity and Partner should had won FIRST PLACE" on that "fix" show! 🎉🎉

[@elenaarellano1099]

Charity was my favorite dancer. She is so elegant, long and elegant. When she dances she won it for me. Then Carrianne giving her a nine come on she’s leaving room for something.?

[@Nicklaus234]

Tangos are some of her best! Reminds me of Skai Jackson!!

[@ebukaibenegbu6590]

Love Skai and Charity

[@paulinehumber3262]

Awesome 🎉🎉🎉 the best 😁❤❤❤

[@mildredsoler5660]

Perfection

[@ladykat16]

Her best dance of the competition

[@symplytoby5493]

The earrings were paid actors😂😂😂

[@Roma-SRyan]

Carrie Ann Inaba took a point off for no mistakes but Xochitl had a big obvious mistake and got a perfect 10

[@terry-annfrancis1252]

Yeah I saw that mistake from Xochitl and nobody mentioned it. The competition was obviously rigged for her to win. Plus they allowed Xochitl to dance last 2 times at the finale that seemed like a sign as well.

[@sharondaniels5912]

That's because Carrie did not want Charity to win. It was obvious from early on. When the other judges gave tens, Carrie gave nines to keep them below the two top teams. If an expert dancer like Derek gave them some tens, then you know they deserved the same from her. I think she wanted a certain team to win

[@terry-annfrancis1252]

@@sharondaniels5912 exactly 100%

[@Hmy8799]

OF COURSE IT WAS CAI ughhhh

[@lauraforbess6973]

Where was Xochitl's mistake? The redemption or free style? I don't see an error.

[@getcreativeordie4010]

Okay, so this was the only dance where even the professional dancers in the stand were visibly shook (one of them even mouthed "amaaaazing", bug-eyed). But Carrie "thinks" she noted a mistake but isn't sure. And then docks for the mistake she's not sure about???? Like, really? I'd expect that from Derek, but he's made a surprising turn-around recently. Also, I recall Carrie saying something similar on either Xochitl or Ariana's dance at one time, but then reasoned that because she wasn't sure that was a testament to the dancer's skill level. I believe she then gave that dancer a 10. So it was probably Xochitl. I think Xochitl was consistent throughout the competition. But I can't say, for sure, that she was better than Ariana. Charity was a boss, though, in that she didn't let the judges' obvious bias keep her down, and instead did her best to give them NOTHING to complain about, because they'd use every single reasoning they could to dock her.

[@getcreativeordie4010]

So, in my opinion, Charity was the MVP of this season and very, very inspiring.

[@GirlSpeakUp]

Yep

[@nichistein]

👏👏👏

[@starchanneljoseph]

Can anyone find the mistake Carrie Ann was talking about? Cuz I heard some ppl say they saw it too but I just can’t find anything at all 😭😭

[@mommynab]

Neither Derek nor Bruno saw it so Carrie Ann was full of it. She's always looking to take off a point to lead the competition for her favorite.

[@VictoriousSage]

I think if that skirt was shorter, she would have seen that there was no mistake.

[@mrsnet6654]

@@VictoriousSage Carrie Ann knew there was no mistake , lol.

[@GracieUnderFireFire]

The only place I could thin MAYBE there was a mistake was at 1:25. It looked like just before that maybe she skipped a little bit, and then at 1:25 Artem maybe decided to pause so she could regroup, then they did the turn and went into the finale pose. Obviously, I have no idea if that’s true or not. So the mistake would have been just before 1:25 she got whipped around a little fast, stepped too many times, recovered, and then Artem took a pause at 1:25 where they do that rocking step so she could finish strong. Is that worth docking a whole point? I wouldn’t say so, it was very very small and they recovered like smart, well trained dancers during an incredible routine

[@LightLifeHardy]

@@GracieUnderFireFirethat was a part of the choreo. It was the transition before turning into the final pose. Not a mistake.

[@victoriafrega7974]

😍

[@aliciahayes2178]

This dance deserve a perfect 30 Carrie Ann why the 9 she dance so good she lost both her earrings.

[@JohnSmith-nm4zd]

There was no mistake in this tango Carrie Ann

[@aishaaa._]

tryna look for the mistake CAI was talking about

[@GirlSpeakUp]

Unbelievable…where is the mistake Carrie Ann was talking about??? I see zero mistakes. It’s clear she didn’t want Charity to win and preferred Xochital the entire season…welp she got her wish.

[@JollyMe22]

It was difficult for tv viewers to see whether or not there was a mistake because 1) camera angles that cut away from their footwork, and 2) all of the smoke obscuring their footwork for about half of their dance. CAI was def able to see better than the television audience. I do agree that Xochitl's mistake was overlooked and shouldn't have been, especially since CAI definitely correctly called out Ariana's missteps.

[@aliciahayes2178]

No mistake at all.

[@Yellow4494]

It was her best dance but she looked possessed

[@addisababanazareth1525]

Carrie did not want Charity to win.

[@sharondaniels5912]

Well Carrie got her winner by finding mistakes that the other professionals didn't seem to notice. Umm 🤔

[@nichistein]

Carrie Ann said she has to be fair when she gave alyson a 9🙄 🤦‍♀️ there were no mistakes, my girl robbed of another perfect score

[@vtcl1]

Carrie Ann should be fired. She is spiteful because she used to date Artem.

[@dionarlyn]

Can someone help identify the song?

[@incogneter]

read the video's description

[@darkhorse4122]

anyone notice at 0:27 her earrings goes flying off

[@jeanpalumbo3411]

Would have loved to see her in a straight red gown 💃with high slits that would showed her legs and her steps On Point. I prefer a tighter Tango with small passion. She nailed it!👏👏

[@stacytrowell6890]

Xochi and Val was always gonna be the winners, which is fair cause she was the best, as far as technique & entertainment factor!!! Charity, Ariana,& Jason were always running for second place!!! Charity was technically amazing however, she couldn't always give the passion Latin dances need!!! Great season overall!!!

[@marilynpanzer5105]

I am used to seeing the tango done in a shorter skirt, way less fabric around the legs and feet. Between the long flowing skirt and the smoke on the floor, I can’t even form an opinion on the dance. Darn it.

[@barunde1117]

U 4th place

[@shaunduquette5992]

Fog should be -1 auto,lol

[@Sunny-lp1gr]

You don't even see her footwork because of it

[@juana9847]

I have been watching dancing with the stars for years and is always the same old story with Carrie Ann and all her negative feed back she’s so blah …Just be gone already lady…retire and get replaced

[@VictoriousSage]

Hot take, if Charity were paired with Val she would have won or made it to top 2. Charity understood the assignment all season long. Some Choreographers just know how to really bring fiery emy worthy choreo. Artem is a great teacher, but I don't remember a lot of his choreographies from past dancing partners.

[@mrsnet6654]

Naw... Artem was GREAT. Remember their 'dancing on the bars' routine? They were just extra hard on Charity; who is a WINNER, btw.

[@VictoriousSage]

​@@mrsnet6654Thanks for reminding me. Ultimately, it's about bringing that level of choreography week after week. I truly believe people voted on the their favorite dance. La vie en Rose, was what I think made America want Xochilt as a champ. Jason, Ariana, Charity and Sochi were all on champ level and bringing it week after week.

[@stacytrowell6890]

​@@VictoriousSageExactly!!! Any top four of them could've won and I wouldn't have complained!!! I think Xochi young, affectous smile,and giddiness, won over the crowd!!! Great season overall!!! The host did great also!!! Bravo DWTS!!!

[@pb4ugo19]

I think they had more of problem with her persona. In the past, the judges commented on her not being into it or something missing a few times. Even my friends who watched were like, "she doesn't come off genuine", and that "she's a cheerleader. That explains it." I think people have stereotypes about cheerleaders being snobbish. I personally didn't get uppity vibes from her. Imo, I think because she was an athlete, she was so focused on nailing the technique that she didn't put enough emphasis on selling the story/artistry. I think Artem is a beautiful dancer and choreographer, but you can't change someone's persona/aura.

[@VictoriousSage]

@@pb4ugo19 I agree, and she had a lovely persona, when a black woman shows any emotion besides joy, it gets misinterpreted, like we can't show that we're human.

[@caspianblue4141]

Artem and Charity got robbed last night. 🤨

[@mytv89626]

Too dark. Too many lazer lights. Too many backup dancers. Too bad you can't even see the couple competing.

[@user-wg8bh2mp9w]

Knife hand grip inconsistent. Gapping. Head position too fixed and straight and not enough staccato. I was a tad disappointed. The sequence of spins and turns though were fabulous and I loved how she kept up with Artem all the way and retained superb character. The knees were used to powerful effect meaning there was plenty of drive and brilliantly timed coverage of the floor. 8.
