Lindsay Arnold Reflects On Last Rehearsals with Jordan Fisher Just Hours Before DWTS Season 25 Finale (Exclusive)

Lindsay Arnold is more than ready for Dancing With The Stars finale.

JJJ had the chance to speak with the pro dancer in between rehearsals for the big night and she expressed just how much she’ll be missing rehearsals with Jordan.

“That thing was really tough,” Lindsay says about their freestyle. “I definitely did not make anything easy for Jordan this season and I was out of breath and dying almost every single dance and he was right there with me. I’m so proud of him.”

Knowing that they both still had injuries to overcome for the final week — her knee, his eye — Lindsay knew they had to take it slow to have a big impact.

“The biggest thing that we said was that we weren’t going to let anything keep us down, including both of our injuries and we had to be careful throughout the week,” she tells us. “The first couple of days, we had to be easy on ourselves and not go too hard.

But that doesn’t mean they were moving at a snail’s pace either. It just meant that they were working twice as hard.

“I knew that both of us were going to take care of ourselves so that we could be ready and we did that. We had a little challenges and setbacks, but didn’t let that get to us.”

And it worked — Lindsay and Jordan were the first to be called safe for the final night of the season.

She says of their actual last rehearsal for the fusion challenge last night, “It was actually bittersweet because it was our last rehearsal together. We put together our fusion dance and it was so much fun. We were just so much fun because we were so happy on how the night went, and we were ready to work hard. We got in the studio and we were sad and happy all at the same time.”

“Tonight is going to be such a fun night of celebrating an incredible season. We’re not gonna let stress get to us or worry about anything. We’re just going to enjoy ourselves and enjoy the last time dancing together.”

So where will Lindsay put that mirrored ball trophy if they win? “I’m putting it right in the middle of my table for dinner on Thanksgiving day.”
