Val Denies Faking Passion with Janel on DWTS

Janel Parrish (Mona on PLL) had a lot of chemistry with Dancing With the Stars partner Val Chmerkovskiy.  However, some people wondered if Val was leading Janel on and faking it for the show.

Val addressed those questions by saying “the last thing I would do for votes, ladies and gentlemen, is play with my partner's emotions or with your emotions”.

Val answers the question around the 12:00 mark on the video below.

Lucy Hale Denies a PLL Janel Parrish Feud

Rumors have been swirling that there is a feud brewing on the set of Pretty Little Liars between Janel Parrish (Mona on PLL) and the other girls and that the PLL cast didn't support Janel’s DWTS opportunity, but Lucy Hale (Aria on PLL) has been quick to deny those rumors. 

Lucy tweeted “@PLLWetpaint sorry but this is ridiculous. All of the girls are so proud of Janel. We are all very busy but have been extremely supportive”.

@PLLWetpaint sorry but this is ridiculous. All of the girls are so proud of Janel. We are all very busy but have been extremely supportive.
— Lucy Hale (@lucyhale) November 26, 2014

Looking back, there has been a lot of public support for Janel from the PLL cast and crew.  Lucy has tweeted her support for Janel (when it was announced that Janel would be on DWTS and before the finals), Ashley Benson encouraged fans to vote for Janel on DWTS, Shay Mitchell has mentioned that it was sad Mona died but she can watch Janel on DWTS and PLL showrunner Marlene King, Brendan Robinson (Lucas on PLL) and Brant Daugherty (Noel on PLL) all came to DWTS to cheer Janel on from the audience.

Lucy Hale was also quick to shoot down rumors of another PLL feud previously, stating of her PLL cast mates “I love those three girls with my whole heart.  If you’re going to spread rumors, at least say one of us is pregnant.  Don’t say that we hate one another”.

It’s good to hear Lucy Hale deny the feud rumors, since the PLL family has been rooting for Janel Parrish on Dancing With the Stars throughout the whole season.

Janel Parrish’s Tearful Farewell Speech to Val

Janel Parrish credits Val for making DWTS the most amazing experience she’s ever had.  Now that the show is over, it will be weird for Janel since she won’t see Val every day.  Janel has grown to love Val as a person, so she is brought to tears as she expresses how much she’ll miss him.

Janel didn’t want to say goodbye to Val, since she’s sure she will see him again.

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.
