Janel Parrish Gets Third Place on DWTS

Dancing With the Stars has come to an end and, unfortunately for Janel Parrish, she did not go home with the Mirrorball Trophy.  Alfonso Ribeiro and Whitney Carson won first place, followed by Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas.  Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy ended up in third place.

Janel was gracious despite coming in third and she was positive about her experience.  Janel said of Val “I honestly am just so lucky to be here standing next to him.  You were my trophy in the entire season, so I’m happy”.

Janel’s final dance was a fusion between the foxtrot and paso doble dance, which the judges loved.  Bruno thought they were absolutely amazing.  Carrie Ann thought they were so dynamic, elegant, artistic and passionate.  Len pointed out that Janel and Val have gotten more 10s from him than any other couple on the show.

All four judges gave them 10s, giving their final dance a perfect score.

Previously eliminated DWTS contestants came back and everyone performed the show opening.  They danced to Pitbull’s “Celebrate”.

Here are bumpers of the finalists.

Although Janel didn’t win the Mirrorball Trophy, she was surrounded by supportive friends and family.  Brant Daugherty, Noel on PLL, was there to support Janel.  Janel posted a photo of the two of them, captioned “Much love to you @brantdaugherty. Your support has kept me sane. Love you”.

Congrats to Janel Parrish for making it to the finals on DWTS.  She has been amazing the whole season, showing how incredibly talented she is.  DWTS has come to an end, but at least we’ll get to see her as Mona in flashbacks on PLL.
