It's been a season unlike any of the previous 28, with a new host (Tyra Banks), strict pandemic protocols (no audiences) and an unexpected bump in the ratings (over last year). And now, after 10 weeks of fierce competition, it all comes down to tonight's finale for the four remaining contestants on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Battling it out for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy are Nev Schulman and pro Jenna Johnson, Kaitlyn Bristowe and pro Artem Chigvintsev, Justina Machado and pro Sasha Farber and Nelly and pro Daniella Karagach. (Nelly, Bristowe, Machado and Schulman are  pictured above, clockwise from top left.) With just a few points separating the contenders, following last week's semi-finals, you can bet each celebrity and their pro partner will be giving it their all as each couple performs one of their favorite dances from recent weeks -- with some new twists. Also, each will perform the highly anticipated Freestyle dance that has become a highlight of the show's previous season finales.
