Monday kicks off the two-part finale for Season 19 of "Dancing with the Stars." With the final four competing for the Mirror Ball Trophy, Janel Parrish revealed that she's ready to win. Plus, she opens up about the freestyle routine her partner Val Chmerkovskiy created. Janel originally just wanted to do her best and see how far she could get, but after being considered one of the frontrunners, it's clear that she wants that trophy. "I'm kind of surprised I stuck around this long. Honestly, my goal was just to make it through each week, and now I have a new goal, which is to win," Janel wrote on her "People" blog. "Now that it's actually here and it's in sight, I want to go all the way and I want to go all the way with Val and I want us to win," she continued. In order to achieve her goal of winning it all, Janel has to step up in her judge's routine and the freestyle performance. When it comes to the judge's choice, which is one of the couple's previous routines, the "Pretty Little Liars" star was happy with the performance they chose. "I'm very happy with the dance the judges picked for us. It's one of my favorite dances that we've done, and one that stayed a little bit under-the-radar just because we didn't get great marks for it. I'm excited to bring it back and hopefully do it better than I did the first time," she revealed. Read More »
As we enter Week 10 of Season 19 of "Dancing with the Stars," Janel Parrish is opening up about the curveball for this week's performances. The 26-year-old is also talking about her partner Val Chmerkovskiy's mistake last week. The "Pretty Little Liars" star and her partner Val are definitely in the hunt for the mirror ball trophy this season. As they head into the semi-finals, Janel is reflecting on her killer performances from last week's show. "The quickstep we performed last week was, honestly, one of my favorite dances we've done. I thought it was amazing," Janel wrote in her "People" blog today. "It was America's choice dance, so they chose everything down to our costumes and the song and the style, and at the end they wanted us to kiss, so we threw that in for America!" Although the kiss at the end of their quickstep was steamy and further fueled the rumors that the dancing partners are actually dating, there was a mistake within the routine. Surprisingly, it wasn't Janel, who's the contestant, but Val the pro who made the notable mistake. "Even though Val had a little bit of a stumble during the dance, it didn't throw us off at all. The poor thing, his patent leather shoes got stuck together, but we both just kept going and we were able to get back on track," the "PLL" actress explained. "I know Val felt really bad because of the slip, but I was like, 'You're human! Sometimes humans slip. It's all good!'" Read More »

Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy take the stage tonight for Week 8 of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 19. The couple is one of the teams to beat, but they aren't letting the stress get in the way of their chemistry. The duo will take on a romantic Romeo and Juliet routine for the "Dynamic Duos" theme tonight ... and what did Val do for her birthday? This week the pair will be doing a contemporary routine, which is in Janel's comfort zone. "I feel a lot more comfortable in contemporary because I don't have to work on my frame, which is my biggest weakness, but Val isn't a contemporary dancer, so he's been stressing about the choreography," Janel said in her "People" blog. "However, I think the choreography he's created is beautiful." For their contemporary routine, which usually lends itself to more romantic routines, Janel and Val will be portraying Romeo and Juliet.
