Who has what it takes to win the glorious Dancing With The Stars mirror ball trophy - weatherman Tamati or boardsailing Barbara?
Eight celebrities dared to don dance shoes and pair up with Australasia's slickest professional dancers to raise money for their chosen charity and now it is down to two.
Tamati and Barbara will take to the floor for three dances - a dance they have previously done; a new dance; and finally, a freestyle showcase piece where (almost) anything goes.
Eliminated couples will also be back on the dance floor for the very last time, dancing their favourite dances. Plus the finale extravaganza will also feature some dazzling performances by international special guests, including Ronan Keating and the cast of the West End musical Mamma Mia!
Can Tamati wow the judges? Or is Barbara on her way to another gold? Check out their scores and dances from last week:
Barbara Kendall and Jonny Williams - rumba - You Give Me Something - James Morrison
Brendan said: We're talkin' oozy. You found
that softness and had a great intensity.
Alison said: You have wonderful extension and the
slower dances suit you really well.
Craig said: This is the first time we've seen you
with a strong sense of sensuality - Barb-u-lous darling!
Paul said: It's the dance of love and you both
danced it beautifully. But I didn't 100% feel the love.
Score: 8 / 9 / 9 / 8 total = 34

Definitely the awesome Tamati. Every week he honestly goes from strenght to strength. His partner has done a brilliant job, it must be so much harder for a female to train a male to dance, especially if the male has never had any experience in dance before this type of competitiom. GO TAMATI YOU GOOD THING !!!
