The Dancing with the Stars finale is in full swing. The contestants dance the first dance with their chosen loved ones. Of the three contestants who made it to the finals, the last one performed Sonja Kailassaariwho chose his spouse Aku Hirviniemi as his partner.
Kailassaari, struggling to win the competition, remained somewhat of a supporting role in his opening dance, when Hirviniemi and the teacher Matti Puro imitated what was seen earlier this season, Jorma Uotinen and Jukka Haapalainen halftime show.
During the performance, the audience erupted into loud applause in a performance colored by humor. The jury also appreciated the funniest dance of the evening.

– Just like that, Pimiä said with a laugh after the show ended.
– This covered the original (Jorma Uotinen)! I am completely dumbfounded, sold and speechless. Uotinen praised the enchanting trio, which lived up to the mood of the original work.
– I’m pretty much speechless. I didn’t really remember watching the dance itself. The tango itself was of good quality, commented Haapalainen.
The jury awarded the trio full points.
