The season 33 finale of Dancing with the Stars promises an unforgettable evening as the final five contestants vie for the mirrorball trophy. After last week’s semifinal left all five pairs in the competition, Chandler Kinney & Brandon Armstrong, Joey Graziadei & Jenna Johnson, Ilona Maher & Alan Bersten, Danny Amendola & Witney Carson, and Stephen Nedoroscik & Rylee Arnold return for one last dance.
Each couple will perform a “redemption dance” and a freestyle routine. The judges assigned styles to challenge the contestants, including Jive, Tango, Quickstep, and Cha Cha. Fans can vote live online or via SMS, casting up to 20 votes per couple.
Chandler and Brandon wowed with their Jive, earning a standing ovation and high praise from Bruno: “You went beyond redemption!” Ilona and Alan redeemed their earlier Jive performance with renewed confidence, leaving Carrie Ann emotional over their growth.
Danny’s Tango reflected his personal journey, earning Derek’s nod as the competition’s “dark force.” Joey made DWTS history as the first Bachelor finalist and delivered a standout Cha Cha with Jenna. Stephen, despite starting as an underdog, brought joy and determination to his Quickstep, leaving the judges and audience cheering.
The night also features a reunion of eliminated stars, including Anna Delvey, Tori Spelling, and Dwight Howard, performing a group routine to Madonna’s Holiday. Last season’s champion Xochitl Gomez returns for a special performance celebrating her journey.
With redemption dances, breathtaking freestyles, and surprises in store, the finale is bound to be a spectacular conclusion to season 33. Fans eagerly await the crowning of this season’s champion!
