Dancing With the Stars‘ latest Season 34 casting announcement is already stirring up excitement among its pro dancers. It was revealed during The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Reunion Special on Tuesday, July 1, that cast members Jennifer Affleck and Whitney Leavitt will compete for the Len Goodman mirrorball trophy this fall. The news garnered excited reactions from many DWTS pros, including ones who are past and current members of the Mormon church. “We all saw the Dancing With the Stars announcement today. This is what I have to say,” Brandon Armstrong, who grew up in the Mormon faith, began a Tuesday TikTok video before pairing ballroom dance styles with things from the Mormon religion. “Mormons and mambos. Batucadas and bishops. Tangos and temples. Whisk and worship. I could go on for days. I’m a meme machine.” His wife, Brylee Armstrong, even suggested he be paired with Affleck or Leavitt in...

Julianne Hough has been involved in “Dancing With the Stars” in some capacity for nearly 20 years, long enough to see a resurgence for the ABC ballroom competition show among younger viewers during last season’s 33rd installment.

“We’ve seen multigenerations follow the show for years, but now, the babies that were born when their parents first started watching the show are now 18, and they’re creating their own new generation of people who love the show,” Hough, who now hosts the show, told TheWrap. “There’s just been this whole new resurgence of life like back into the show.”

Hough points to Olympian Ilona Maher as one Season 33 contestant who raised the bar for “Dancing With the Stars” with her vulnerability on the show, and brought in a new generation of fans who followed her on social media during the Paris Games. “Dancing” will draw in a similar younger...

American Idolseason 23 runner-up John Foster revealed if he wants to compete in a future season of Dancing With The Stars. During American Idol season 23, John, an 18-year-old college student from Addis, Louisiana, was consistently one of the frontrunners due to his old-school country music style and charming personality. He placed second to winner Jamal Roberts, and he's now looking ahead to his bright future.

American Idolseason 23 runner-up John Foster admitted that he hadn't given much thought to joining the cast of Dancing With The Stars, but he wouldn't rule out an appearance on the show.

In an interview with TV Insider, John admitted that he hadn't given much thought to joining the cast of Dancing With The Stars, but he wouldn't rule out an appearance on the show. He shared, "I never really thought about that. I’ll tell you this – it’s certainly not a no."

Dancing With the Stars celebrated its 33rd season on Sunday with a For Your Consideration Emmys event in Hollywood.

Pro dancers Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Daniella Karagach, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Gleb Savchenko, Pasha Pashkov, and Rylee Arnold were joined by runner-up Ilona Maher (Olympic rugby player), third-place finisher Chandler Kinney (actress and singer), and fourth-place contestant Stephen Nedoroscik (Olympic gymnast) for an afternoon of ballroom dancing at the Dolby Theatre.

Season 30's fourth-place finalist Amanda Kloots moderated the panel, which welcomed judge Derek Hough, cohost Julianne Hough, pro dancer/mirrorball champion Jenna Johnson, and The Bachelor star/mirrorball champion Joey Graziadei. Since its debut in 2005, Dancing With the Stars has been nominated for 124 Emmy Awards and won 21 trophies, including four for Derek Hough for choreography.

"I was bullied as a kid going to school for being a dancer — I was picked on," Derek told the crowd of Emmy voters and industry insiders.

Carrie Ann Inaba is “no longer trying to impress people” after her past year, which included Dancing With the Stars backlash.

She continues to appear as one of the judges on the ABC dance competition show alongside Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.

However, fans have criticized Carrie Ann for her scores, critiques, and remarks towards competitors in Season 33.

That included a surprising exchange involving professional dancer Brandon Armstrong after the DWTS judge called out certain moves on the dancefloor.

In addition, fans blasted Carrie Ann for giving a less-than-perfect score to Armstrong and his partner, Chandler Kinney, after saying it “wasn’t perfection.”

Many fans considered Chandler and Brandon among the frontrunners to win the season, but they finished in third place. The Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy went to pro dancer Jenna Johnson and The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei.

Following Carrie Ann’s enduring backlash and criticism, she’s embracing...

The Bachelor season 28 star Joey Graziadei won Dancing With The Stars season 33, along with his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson, and now his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, revealed the fate of his Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Joey and Kelsey got engaged at the end of The Bachelor season 28, and celebrated the one-year anniversary of the proposal on November 12. On November 26, Joey and Jenna won DWTS season 33, and took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Derek Hough, a beloved figure in Dancing With the Stars (DWTS), has transitioned from being a fierce competitor as a professional dancer to one of the show’s esteemed judges. While he now understands the challenges of judging, Derek hasn’t forgotten the intensity of his early days on the ballroom floor—especially his strong opinions about judge critiques.

In a recent Instagram post, Derek took fans down memory lane, revisiting a fiery moment from 2008 when he passionately called out judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. The post brought a wave of nostalgia and laughter from DWTS fans who missed the drama of the earlier seasons.

Dancing With The Stars – Derek Hough’s Viral Throwback: A Playful Jab at DWTS Judges

On November 25, Derek shared a humorous Instagram video recreating his 2008 outburst alongside his Season 6 partner, Shannon Elizabeth. The original clip showed Derek venting his frustration after receiving harsh critiques from the judges.

After several weeks of grueling rehearsals, The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei was crowned the DWTS Season 33 champion. He and his partner Jenna Johnson had impeccable chemistry and consistently delivered top-tier performances.

However, many fans have expressed aggravation that another member of Bachelor Nation won the competition. Online, many expressed that other contestants were more deserving, particularly the runner-up.

Without a doubt, Olympic Rugby player Ilona Maher displayed immeasurable growth from the beginning of the season to the finale. See what others are saying online.

DWTS Fans Believe Ilona Maher Is What The Show Is All About

Many DWTS fans believed Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong would be the new Mirrorball Champions. Instead, they finished in third place with Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten finishing in second.

The competition on Dancing With The Stars was especially fierce this year. Fans felt incredibly passionate about their favorite contestants and campaigned for them online. But as always, only one competing couple could win.

This year, The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and his partner Jenna Johnson took home the Mirrorball Trophy. The pair had high scores from the start and consistently maintained them throughout the competition.

But even so, many DWTS viewers felt angry that another member of Bachelor Nation won the competition.

DWTS Fans Are Tired Of Bachelor Nation Contestants Winning

Over the course of 33 seasons, several members of Bachelor Nation competed for the Mirrorball Trophy. They don’t always win, but over the past few years, there have been several champions from the fandom. Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe won Seasons 28 and 29 respectively. And now, Joey Graziadei has won Season 33.

It’s always disappointing when a favorite contestant doesn’t win,...

“Dancing With the Stars” concluded its 33rd season with a ratings bang.

Tuesday’s finale of “Dancing With the Stars” brought in 6.36 million viewers on ABC — the biggest audience the ballroom dancing show has seen since its Season 29 finale in November 2020, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day figures.

The finale episode also drew a 1.14 rating in the key broadcast demo among adults 18-49, ranking as the show’s highest demo rating since the Season 29 premiere in September 2020. Tuesday’s episode further pulled in the show’s biggest demo viewership for a finale in seven years, since May 2018.

As five couples performed their final dances in the hopes of winning the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, the finale saw a record-breaking 32 million votes as fans backed their favorite pairs.

In addition to scoring...

Dancing with the Stars threw in a surprise twist during its grand finale. The Bachelor alum Joey Graziadei and his dance partner, Jenna Johnson, won the Mirror Ball Trophy. Season 33 is finally over. It was a season filled with budding showmances, controversial contestants, and jaw-dropping moments. The finale was no different. Fans are still digesting the final result. Most took to social media to react.

Season 33 Surprise Final

DWTS aired a three-hour finale that pulled all the stops. In the final moments of Tuesday’s episode, host Alfonso Ribeiro revealed who won the coveted Len Goodman trophy. But first, he revealed which couples ended up in the fifth and fourth spots, respectively.

NFL star Danny Amendola and his partner Witney Carson were placed in number five. Meanwhile, Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik and his dance partner Rylee Arnold ended up in fourth place. The next reveal shocked everyone.

Former Disney Channel star...

Competitive reality shows have long enamored the viewers with their attention to detail and keeping a top-notch entertainment factor. In this, Dancing with the Stars would definitely be a beloved show adapted from Strictly Come Dancing. In this, the reality show pairs celebrities with professional dancers, and has also featured some of Hollywood’s biggest artists.

But out of the lot, Zendaya and Normani would definitely be fan favorites. Both stars performed in different seasons, and fans were rooting for both of them to win. However, despite this, they finished second and third respectively. Now the same fate has been repeated in the reality show’s season 33 as well. And fans are not happy, to say the least.

Many fans feel that the pre-dance video packages that are shown on Dancing With the Stars can be just as important in getting viewer votes as the dances themselves are. So did pro Brandon Armstrong and his partner Chandler Kinney (Lethal Weapon), who came in third in one of the show’s most competitive seasons, miss an opportunity to share a little more of themselves with the program’s audience, which could have resulted in gaining more votes? Armstrong recently shared on Instagram that his connection to DWTS goes back much further than when he joined the show as a troupe member in Season 24 or when he became a pro in Season 27. Way back in Season 6, he appeared and performed on the show as a 13-year-old. “I’ve always just been a kid chasing a dream and it feels amazing to be living it!” Armstrong posted. “I have been getting...

Now that there’s a new Mirrorball Champion, fans are incredibly excited about the upcoming DWTS 2025 tour. The performers have just enough time to celebrate the holidays with loved ones, but then training and rehearsals begin for the winter tour.

Read on to see what eager fans can expect to see in the new year.

The DWTS 2025 Tour Kicks Off In January

Every fall, DWTS fans enjoy watching their favorite celebrities and professional dancers compete for the highly-coveted Mirrorball Trophy. But experiencing the tour in person is an entirely different experience.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2025 tour and the cast and crew can’t wait to welcome their adoring fans into the ballroom.

“Dancing With The Stars is massively popular with millions of fans watching our TV show each week, yet so few are able to come to Hollywood and secure a coveted seat in our live studio audience,...

It was finally time for the Dancing With the Stars season 33 finale and crowning a winner of the Mirrorball trophy has never been so difficult. All of the celebrities this year have been incredible and the five remaining couples all brought something unique to the dance floor. In the end, only one could win.

There were two dances performed, which included a redemption routine and then a freestyle round. In essence, the redemption dance gave the celebrities a chance to redo a challenging dance from one of the previous weeks.

The night started off with the judges recapping the best aspects of each of the celebrity finalists, including their personality, dance styles, and how they have grown as dancers. Then when the show began, the couples did a redemption dance.

What routines did the five finalists perform and how did they do?

Stephen and Rylee’s dance was the Quickstep...

First of all, if you didn’t vote for anyone during the Dancing with the Stars season 33 finale, I don’t want to hear it! But if you did vote and have mixed feelings about the DWTS season 33 winners, Joey and Jenna, read on.

The Dancing with the Stars season 33 finale was Tuesday, Nov. 26. It was an unnecessary three-hour-long episode due to flashbacks and a look at some of the best moments of the season. This could have been featured on another date or just not included at all – but I digress!

DWTS season 33 final five couples were Joey and Jenna (winners), Ilona and Alan (2nd place), Chandler and Brandon (3rd place), Stephen and Rylee (4th place), and Danny and Witney (5th place). And honestly, Chandler and Brandon finishing in third place is criminal.

It doesn’t matter what the results are on Dancing with the Stars, or any competition series,...

After a season of shocking eliminations, the final five took to the ballroom one last time on the Dancing With the Stars Season 33 finale.

But only one of them emerged with the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Going into the episode, it was difficult to predict who would win because every competitor brought their A-game in these final weeks.

Unfortunately, the overstuffed three-hour finale dragged due to the return of various former stars, including Anna Delvey.

Of course, more sparks flew between Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko, who seemed determined to make viewers question their relationship status forever at this point.

Sadly, some performances probably didn’t deserve a spot in the finale.

Who became the Season 33 winner of DWTS?

After the judges’ scores and viewer votes were completed, hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough announced the winner.

Danny Amendola and Witney Carson finished in fifth place. Stephen Nedoroscik and...

Dancing With The Stars host, Julianne Hough made a move on the contestant, Danny Amendola. Fans were shocked when they heard her flirting with him. However, they do not hate the possibility of this duo. There are some rumored romances this season. Could they be another? Keep reading to find out more.

And now, it's time for America (and probably the producers of DWTS) to crown a winner.

The top five contenders performed difficult redemption dances and high-energy freestyle acts during the three-hour competition. While many expected Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong to win, they ultimately finished third.

Graziadei’s triumph concluded a season of steady success. Judge Bruno Tonioli praised the couple’s outstanding performances, describing their Cha-Cha as “a sparkling jewel polished to perfection” and their freestyle routine as an innovative blend of conventional ballroom and classical musical choreography.

The finale’s innovative format enabled contestants to revisit and build on past dance styles. Olympian Ilona Maher and partner Alan Bersten finished second, earning their first perfect score with a spectacular freestyle that inspired judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

Each pair danced a freestyle routine and a redemption dance. The five finalists hit the ballroom first to perform their redemption dances.

In Tuesday night’s Season 33 finale of “Dancing With the Stars,” the five final couples competed for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy with a “redemption” dance assigned by the judges in which they tackled a style they had previously gotten wrong.

The second round featured several eye-popping freestyle routines, including the showstopper of Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong — the first Black duo in the finale — staging a multi-decade tribute to renowned African-American dancers like the Nicholas Brothers that had Carrie Ann Inaba saying, “You’ve changed the future for people to come!” While Kinney seemed a shoo-in to take home the top prize, she shockingly ended in third place.

Joey...

Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber are still teasing Dancing with the Stars fans with their romance, despite not confirming that they are together.

The pair were eliminated from the show a few weeks ago, but they’re returning for the Season 33 finale.

Jenn shared a sneak peek of their practice for the big night, noting that it was their “last rehearsal ever.”

That garnered a lot of cheeky responses on social media with many claiming it wouldn’t be their last dance.

People commented that the duo would have another dance rehearsal at some point in the future for their wedding.

While Sasha and Jenn have yet to fess up about their romance, fans have already shipped the adorable duo as they continue to play into the romance rumors.

Jenn and Sasha are returning to the dance floor for one...

Brooks Nader was dating pro dancer Gleb Savchenko when they appeared on Dancing With the Stars Season 33.

Things fizzled out when they were eliminated midway through the season, but now, there’s a chance that their relationship is back on.

DWTS pro Emma Slater took to TikTok to share a video of Brooks and Gleb rehearsing for the season finale.

While they lost their spot in the running for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy weeks ago, DWTS typically brings every contestant back for the finale to have a chance at another performance.

Yes, that means we’ll be forced to endure more rude comments from Anna Delvey.

Emma’s video showed several people associated with the long-running ABC series, but the most surprising was Gleb holding Brooks, her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

“Dancing with the Stars” Season 33 ends tonight, Nov. 26, with a three-hour show that will culminate in the crowning of a new champion. But first the final five celebrities and their pro partners will have to perform two more competitive routines: a redemption dance where the couples try to improve on a previous dance style, and then the always hotly anticipated freestyle routine where all bets are off and all the rules go out the window. All of those routines are as follows:

Super Bowl Champion Danny Amendola and pro Witney Carson will perform a Tango to “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen.

“The Bachelor” Joey Graziadei and pro Jenna Johnson will perform a Cha Cha to “Can’T Stop The Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake.

TV star Chandler Kinney and pro Brandon Armstrong will perform a Jive to “Apt.

It's hard to believe that Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars is about to take its final bow, but the end is indeed nigh and while fans are quite sad to see it go, the network has a lot planned for its proverbial last dances.

DWTS Season 33 has been an absolute roller coaster, from the controversial decision to cast ex-con Anna Delvey to several shock eliminations, two preemptions, and at least one "fake out" send-off.

Speaking of non-eliminations, last week's semifinals entailed just that: after an extremely tense build up, viewers were shocked when no one was sent home during the reality TV competition's penultimate episode.

In our recap, we reported:

"After revealing which couples [were] safe, Ilona and Danny and Stephen and Rylee remain[ed] in jeopardy. Pitting the Olympians against each other was some sly work on behalf of DWTS producers, but ultimately, they announce[d] thatSURPRISEnobody [was] going home."

Again, DWTS...

Every contestant who has made it to the final of Dancing With The Stars deserves to be there. This season has become so special to me because each couple is so entertaining in their own way. Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong are making history as the first black couple to make it to the finals. Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold are killing it with their social media presence. Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten have the most wholesome friendship I've ever seen on the show. Danny Amendola and Witney Carson may be the hottest duo I have ever seen on this show. But, one couple stands out because they are amazing together, both charismatically and technically; Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson.

It's the final countdown for the much anticipated Dancing With the Stars Season 33 finale. After several celebrities joined the show with little to no prior dance experience, five couples are still in it to win it, and soon enough, we will know who will take home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. There's been a lot of excitement surrounding the finale because it will be history-making. After all, for the first time in 33 seasons, one of The Bachelor's leading men is competing in the final episode, with great chances of walking away with the final prize. In addition, former Pretty Little Liars reboot star Chandler Kinney and her pro partner Brandon Armstrong will be the first Black couple to perform at the finale. With so much buzz surrounding each of the celebs' final moments on the dance floor, we've got you covered with all the details to know before tuning in this Tuesday.

For the second year in a row, five couples will compete in the Dancing With the Stars finale! The contenders will dance a traditional “redemption” dance where they’re coached by one of the show’s three judges – Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli – as well as their highly anticipated “freestyle” routines. The latter allows the couples to display everything they’ve learned throughout the season. It’s not uncommon that the couple with the best and most entertaining freestyle ends up winning the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy. As far as redemption dances go, watch for Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong to revisit the Jive while Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson are going to take on once again the Cha-cha-cha. Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten are going to also do another Jive. Danny Amendola and Witney Carson will reprise the Tango. Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold will repeat the Quickstep.

Dancing With The Stars duo Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong officially made it to the finals this week, and in doing so, they also made history in the reality TV dance competition, becoming the first Black couple to do so.

Before we get into Chandler and Brandon's historic accomplishment, there's quite a bit of DWTS Season 33 context involved, and not all of it is pleasant.

Back on October 8, Episode 4 of Season 33, "Hair Metal Night," aired, with Gene Simmons as a guest judge and as the night wore on, fans couldn't help but notice that Gene seemed to be rating contestants in a racially biased way.

It wasn't just a handful of fans, either, and one Reddit user said in part:

"Genes scores last night clearly showed a discrepancy and bias among the white contestants having higher scores, and the Poc contestants having lower scores, despite the clear level of talent,...

Julianne Hough has a long history with Dancing With the Stars that has seen her going from professional dancer to judge and co-host alongside Alfonso Riberio. Julianne made her debut as a pro in Season 4, and became a back-to-back mirrorball trophy winner after winning her very-first season and the following season. Julianne left after Season 8.

From Seasons 19-24, Julianne returned to the ballroom as a permanent fourth judge. After host Tyra Banks got the boot following Season 31, it felt like the perfect choice to have Julianne take up those duties.

However, fans have had mixed feelings over Julianne's co-hosting abilities. Fans don't believe she has the necessary skills to ask the right questions, while others believe they'd rather see her on the ballroom floor and not up in the skybox interviewing dancers. Her latest surprise dance routine during Season 33's semifinal night also surprised fans. Is she trying to save her job?...

The DWTS Season 33 finale is nearly here! The exciting episode will be quite similar to Season 32’s finale — the episode will be three hours long and feature five finalists competing for the Mirrorball Trophy.

In addition to the final five’s routines, there will also be special guest performances fans can look forward to. Read on to see what to expect when the fun begins on Tuesday night.

The DWTS Season 33 Finale Features Several Special Performances

Although Season 31 champion Mark Ballas officially retired as a pro dancer, he still has plenty of love for Dancing With The Stars. This year, he appeared as a guest judge for an episode. Fans loved his appearance and said they’d love to see him return to the judges’ table full-time.

In the DWTS Season 33 finale, he will join his best friend Derek Hough for a special duet. The pair will dance to “Libertango...

Dancing With The Stars fans have followed along over the last nine weeks as celebrities performed two weekly dance routines.

‘DWTS’ Fans Angry Over Season Semi-Final

The DWTS Season 33 semi-final saw actress Chandler Kinney, The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei, rugby player Ilona Maher, Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola, and Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik compete in choreographed danced routines. The stars were judged following their performances with their professional partners. Judges did give the dancers scores, however, they were informed that they would not apply the night of the semi-final. This left fans incited.

Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli...

Dancing with the Stars Season 33 has just one more episode left this season, but its runtime has been expanded to an unprecedented three hours.

In the past, extended episodes of unscripted shows have been bursting at the seams with filler to the point it’s evident network executives are trying to fill a timeslot.

Of course, Dancing with the Stars Season 33 has been a return to form, both in the ratings and creatively, so ABC can make advertisers happy with a longer episode.

Sadly, that decision led some disgruntled fans to voice their displeasure about it before the episode premieres.

One viewer used a scene of Big Ed Brown on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days to get their point across.

“A 3 hour finale??? On a weekday??” the viewer added.

Indeed, it is a bit of a tough sell for a Tuesday night.

A 3 hour finale??? On a weekday?...
