Bruno Tonioli to 'DWTS' Finalists: 'Bring the Audience to You, Make No Mistakes!'

May 21, 2012 Dancing With The Stars

"Extra" host Mario Lopez met up with "Dancing with the Stars" judge Bruno Tonioli to talk about the final three contestants, and what each couple will need to do to win.

Bruno Tonioli to 'DWTS' Finalists: 'Bring the Audience to You, Make No Mistakes!'

When asked about opera singer Katherine Jenkins, Bruno said, "At times she can be a bit like the cold, distant blonde… the Goddess syndrome. Keep the approachability, bring the audience to you!"

Tonioli said of NFL wide receiver Donald Driver, "He gives so much that at times he gets himself into a muddle. Control the energy and maintain slickness."

Bruno then commented on former model William Levy and partner Cheryl Burke, saying, "Remember in the Jive, it went wrong and he couldn’t quite get back into top notch form... so no mistakes. And if you do something… cover it up. VERY QUICKLY."

Before Bruno's exit, he turned to Mario, a former "Dancing with the Stars" finalist, and officially asked him to "take part in next season's all-star 'DWTS.’” The longtime judge joked, "I want you to reclaim your title of hottest Latino in America!"

Will Mario accept? Watch to find out!

Watch as "Extra" goes inside the last-minute rehearsals before Monday night's finale.

Tune in Monday night at 8PM on ABC to see the finalists battle it out for the coveted mirror ball trophy.

I will be voting for Donald, feel Katherine has been over rated, she was in the bottom 2 for two weeks. I know she scored a 60 in tonights battle, so I hope everyone units and voted for Donald.

Katherine has been the best dancer from day one, going all out, from having her head whirled around close to the floor, to not skipping a beat when the costume got stuck on her shoe, so I expect her to win it all! Last wk was a minor fluke; but even in skating and other similar sports, you score for overall performance, and she has been great overall! At our house, she's known as Katherine the graceful!
