No turkey for you! Dancing With The Stars finalists are hard at work despite the Thanksgiving break

Its the day when Americans enjoy stuffing their faces with turkey and undoing their top buttons.
But with the Dancing With The Stars finals nearing the contestants had no time to spare.
Despite it being a national holiday on Thursday it was business as usual at their Los Angeles based dance studio.
However the stars all appeared in good spirits and two of them even brought a takeaways with them.

The hit reality show is down to its final three couples so the pressure is on for the contestants to dance their hearts out and pull out all the stops to prevent being booted off.
The finalists are Derek Hough and Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy and Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani.
Soap actress Kelly didn't look particularly happy to be there but was spotted leaving the studios in skinny jeans, wedged ankle boots and a lilac hoodie.
She clutched a bottle of water and as well as her gym bag also toted a large black Louis Vuitton number.
Her hair was scraped back in a messy bun and aviator sunglasses completed the look.

However pro dancer Tony Dovolani cut a much cheerier figure.
The Albania native grinned cheekily at fans and also gave a thumbs up sign as he sauntered into the studio wearing a tracksuit.
Shawn Johnson didn't look too fazed either as she turned up in black leggings and fleece.

And just in case there was no turkey left when she got back she was also seen carrying a takeaway in a plastic bag.
Val Chmerkovskiy must have had the same idea as he also clutched a takeaway as he arrived.
The professional dancer appeared slightly dishevelled and confused but had his hair slicked back and wore a trendy jeans and jumper combo.

Reality star Melissa Rycroft got picked up by her husband and daughter and didn't have a hair out of place after the intense dance work out.
She also waved to fans as her cute one-year-old daughter Ava held the car keys in the background.
The final is next Monday so tensions should be running high but the contestants must have been in the festive spirit as all seemed calm and collected.

and why wouldn't they be having a nice meal AFTER working out? really what a waste of space this is if this is what you write. just because they practiced during the day doesn't mean that afterward they couldn't have a nice dinner with family or friends. I know you have to try and come up with something to go with the pics you buy from the stage door pap camped out in the DWTS parking lot but really. Try to do something a little better.
