I didn’t really start avidly watching Dancing with the Stars until season 33 last year. Now that season 34 is coming to an end, I’m realizing that I should’ve been a fan of this show a long time ago. Compared to what I’ve seen, this season has been very competitive and there’s been so many incredible dancers. With the season finale quickly approaching, this is how I think the top five will place in the overall ranking.
5th place: Dylan efron & daniella karagach
I love the way Karagach choreographs for her partners, as it really seems like she prioritizes their spotlight each and every week. Efron came into the show with no dance experience, and I really think he’s improved a lot! I just think that with the competition being so intense, the other contestants will place above him.
My favorite dances of this couple were their Dedication Night Contemporary and Halloween Night Viennese Waltz.
4th Place: Elaine hendrix & alan bersten
I think Hendrix and Bersten is the perfect pairing. They’re both so lively, and after watching their packages and social media posts, I can’t imagine either of them having a different partner this season. I really enjoy watching their dances, and can see how much effort they put in each and every week.
My favorite dances of this couple were their Wicked Night Contemporary and One-Hit-Wonders Night Jive.
3rd place: jordan chiles & ezra sosa
These two are my personal favorites this season, so it’s hurting me to put them at third place. With them both being young and close to my age, I feel like I can relate to a lot of the content they post as well as their struggles while navigating young adulthood. They’re so fun to watch each week and I really think they’ve grown significantly throughout the competition.
My favorite dances of this couple were their TikTok Night Tango and One-Hit-Wonders Night Jive
2nd place: Alix Earle & Val ChmerKovskiy
I think these two also have the potential to take the mirrorball, but I have a gut feeling that the couple I have in first place will win it all. I’ve loved watching all of this couple’s dances this season. Every week feels like a different vibe and you can truly see not only their determination, but their joy while they’re dancing. They’re so entertaining to watch and I love seeing them each week.
My favorite dances of this couple were their Disney Night Viennese Waltz and 20th Birthday Party Foxtrot.
1st place: Robert Irwin & witney carson
Irwin’s charismatic presence I think is what ultimately win him the mirrorball. Not only that, but he is a phenomenal dancer and I can see how much work he’s putting in from his packages alone. As someone who came in with no dance experience and was paired with one of, in my opinion, the best pro dancers on the show, I think he’ll come out on top.
My favorite dances of this couple were their Wicked Night Jazz and Prince Night Jive.
I don’t know if it’s because I myself haven’t paid super close attention to this show until recently, but I really like how the show has become something that’s bringing a lot of people together. I’ve always loved to watch dances, and this show is something that I plan to watch for a long time.
