Who will win ‘Dancing with the Stars’ 2024? After watching each episode, here are our predictions

Next Tuesday, everything comes to a crescendo on Dancing with the stars when the winner of season 33 of the dance competition will be awarded Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy at the end of a super-sized three-hour episode where the finalists will compete in two final dances for the winning combination of judges scores and fan votes.

But which of the five will win Dancing with the stars and walk away with the glittering trophy? In a surprise move during the semi-final elimination, all five couples were surprised to find that no one was going home. So the five pairs in the final are the same as they were in the semi-finals: Danny Amendola and Whitney Carson, Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, Ilona Maher and Alan Berstenand Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold.

Of these, Stephen and Rylee are the long-shot underdogs. They had the lowest referee scores – 53 – and for good reason. Seam Derek Hough told Stephen of his cha cha: “The dance got the better of me.” They should have been the pair eliminated if there had been an elimination. That said, Stephen has won fans over with his charm, and while he doesn’t have as big a fan base as his fellow Olympian, Ilona, ​​he should still manage a healthy amount of votes.

The Olympian who has a huge following on social media is Ilona Maher and there is no doubt in my mind that she and her pro partner would have made it through an elimination. In addition, Ilona is the perfect example of the type of star that should be on Dancing with the stars. She is someone who came in with no dance experience or anything related like cheerleading or martial arts and she has worked hard and improved every week and got her first 10 in the 500^th episode last week, and three more 10s this week. In addition, she finished in the middle of the ranking.

Unfortunately, Danny started strong but has fallen back for some unknown reason. Like Ilona, ​​he is exactly the one to wear DWTS because he has no dancing experience either. What he has is the grace of a natural athlete. That and his NFL supporters are what have gotten him this far, but it won’t be enough for the win.

The best dancer of the bunch is Chandler, who comes with previous non-ballroom dancing experience, but when you see her on the ballroom floor, you can forgive her advantage because she’s in a league of her own. She has the grace and elegance of a beautiful Viennese Waltz and the footwork of a Quickstep. What she might lack is a big enough fan base to beat my predicted winner.

Who will win Dancing with the stars season 33 in 2024?

Prediction: The winner of season 33 of Dancing with the stars will be Joey and Jenna, who not only finished the semi-finals right at the top of the leaderboard with Chandler, but both Joey, as part of Bachelor nation, and Jenna, as one of the fan-favorite pro dancers, will draw the fan votes for the overall top score.

The only person who should be able to steal it would be Chandler and Brandon. As mentioned, Chandler is a better dancer than Joey, but as we’ve seen in the past with the Bachelorettes Kaitlyn Bristowe (2020), Hannah Brown (2019), and Melissa Rycroft (2012), Bachelor nation is a strong voting block. Not to mention that Joey is the first Bachelor star to make the finals, so they want to throw their support behind him. And he is a good dancer who has grown over the course of the season. He came with no dance experience, but he had participated in high school cheer.

Who’s back this season Dancing with the stars?
