It’s hard to believe, but another season of Dancing with the Stars is exiting stage left: Tonight is the finale of season 18. Paralympic women’s snowboardcross bronze medalist Amy Purdy, Olympic ice dancing gold medalist Meryl Davis, Full House actress Candace Cameron Bure, and Big Time Rush member James Maslow face off tonight on ABC.
In honor of the finale—and because this season’s cast was particularly exciting to watch each week—we’ve rounded up some of the cast members’ best performances. And to make this farewell even more fun, we’ve given each of them superlatives—if this were a high school yearbook, these are the titles each of them would get:
James Maslow: Sexiest Male Celeb
Um, does this video need an introduction?

Meryl Davis: Most Likely to be Confused for a Professional Dancer
We know she’s an Olympic champion ice dancer, but take off the skates, give this girl some shoes, and she’s still brilliant to watch.
NeNe Leakes: Toughest Competitor
NeNe’s attitude and charisma filled the stage week after week. She didn’t have the training some of the other celebs have, but she was incredibly entertaining to watch, regardless.
Charlie White: Most Infectious Smile
We want Charlie to be our dance partner—on or off the ice. He’s so talented and so upbeat.
Danica McKellar: Most Likely to Push Through a Serious Injury
Danica broke a rib while rehearsing for her week seven salsa…and then she kept competing anyway.
Candace Cameron Bure: Best First Impression
The judges couldn’t believe what they were seeing when D.J. Tanner from Full House stepped out onto the DWTS stage for the first time and rocked her contemporary number.
Amy Purdy: Most Inspirational
From her heartstring-tugging contemporary dance in week three—which recreated the first time she danced with her dad after losing both of her legs at age 19—to her jaw-dropping quickstep this past week (below), Amy Purdy has been strength, stamina, and positivity personified. (See our video with Amy from a few months back: Amy Purdy Lost Both Her Legs to Bacterial Meningitis. Within Six Months, She Was Snowboarding Again.)
