All-stars

During the season finale all-stars danced with the finalists as the part of the competition. Every dancer was asked which dancer they want to dance with. And the dreams came true, because the top 2 were privileged to dance with their favourite You Can Dance - Po Prostu Tańcz! dancer.

Controversy

In his role as executive judge, Agustin Egurolla has overruled several of the majority decisions of the judges panel over the course of the season. The first of these was a decision to give auditioner Sarah Kukliński a ticket to boot camp, despite opposition from both Kinga Rusin and Michał Piróg. Later, in the Top 8 live show he made a unilateral decision to select Anna Matlewska and Igor Leonik as bottom (dance for your lives) dancers for that week, although the other two judges felt they should be safe. He said he felt Matlewska had only had to prove herself in contemporary styles so far in the competition, mitigating the impressiveness of her performance to that date.
