Competition Reality

Professional dancers pair with celebrities to train and compete in ballroom dancing, receiving guidance from a panel of experts along the way.

Matt Roush says...

To win the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in the three-hour season finale of the resurgent reality competition, the remaining five couples will first need to sweat their way through three routines: a Judges’ Choice dance in a style new to them, an Instant Dance where they only learn the song and the style minutes before going on stage, and the ever-popular Freestyle round where anything goes. The season’s eliminated couples return for the celebration, and last season’s champs, Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, rejoin the show for a special dance. Odds favor Robert Irwin (whose sister Bindi won 10 years ago) and partner Witney Carson, but fans can also cheer on Alix Earle (with Val Chmerkovskiy), Dylan Efron (with Daniella Karagach), Elaine Hendrix (with Alan Bersten), and Jordan Chiles (with Ezra Sosa).
