For this week, each couple will repeat one of their favorite performances from earlier in the season with some new creative elements. Then, for the last element of the competition, the couples will perform the fan-favorite Freestyle dance. Here are the dance styles and songs.

• Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe and partner Artem Chigvintsev will repeat their Argentine Tango to “Toxic” by Britney Spears, then a Freestyle dance to “Sparkling Diamonds” from Moulin Rouge.
• Actress Justina Machado and partner Sasha Farber will repeat their Cha to “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, then a Freestyle dance to “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez and “Bamboleo” by The Gypsy Kings.
• Rapper Nelly and partner Daniella Karagach will repeat their Samba to “Rhythm of the Night” by DeBarge, then a Freestyle dance to “Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion and “Hypnotize” by The Notorious B.I.G.
• TV host Nev Schulman and partner Jenna Johnson will repeat their Paso Doble to “Black Swan Swan Lake” by District 78, then a Freestyle dance to “Singin’ in the Rain” by District 78.

It seems like Schulman is the frontrunner going into the finale. The judges love him and he turns in solid performances every week. But Bristowe is right on his heels, score-wise, so she could be a dark horse. We would be pretty surprised if Machado or Nelly was crowned the winner, but you never know!
