Tonight is the night that Dancing With the Stars fans have been waiting for – the Season 19 finale! As we gear up to find out who will take home the coveted Mirrorball trophy, the tension is palpable. While “Elimination Dancing With The Stars Tonight” might sound dramatic for the finale, the reality is that after weeks of competition, we are down to the final contestants, and tonight, one deserving pair will be crowned the champions.
The energy was already high as the finale week kicked off with incredible freestyle performances. Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy delivered a stunning routine that truly showcased their connection. Despite some viewers focusing on their on-screen relationship, their freestyle was undeniably beautiful and earned them a perfect 40/40. Val’s passion and sincerity shone through, making a strong case for why he deserves to finally lift the Mirrorball.
Not to be outdone, Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson brought their A-game with an energetic old-school tap-dance freestyle, also achieving a perfect score of 40/40. Alfonso’s desire to win the Mirrorball has been evident since week one, and his consistent high-level performances have solidified him as a frontrunner.
Before the final results are revealed, fans are treated to a night packed with entertainment. “Dancing With the Stars: Road to the Finals” will give us a behind-the-scenes look at the finalists’ journeys, featuring never-before-seen moments and commentary on their past dances. The finale itself promises an all-star cast performance with all 13 couples from this season, along with judges and hosts. An exciting opening number is also planned, and there’s even a hint that viewers might spot a familiar face within the performance!
Adding to the excitement, one of the freestyle dances from the finalists will be reprised as an encore, chosen by a Twitter fan vote. Pop superstar Meghan Trainor will grace the stage with a medley of her hits “All About That Bass” and “Lips Are Moving.” The night will also feature a dazzling array of returning couples performing fan-favorite routines. Randy Couture and Karina Smirnoff will dance to “The Way You Look Tonight,” Betsey Johnson and Tony Dovolani will perform to “Material Girl,” and many more memorable pairings will return to light up the ballroom floor.
Musical performances will continue with Nick Jonas singing “Jealous” and Oscar and Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson performing “Go All Night,” ensuring a star-studded evening. The finalists will also face one last challenge, fusing two contrasting dance styles from the season into a brand new routine to earn final judges’ points.
Ultimately, the champion will be determined by combining the public vote from Monday night with the judges’ scores from both nights of the finale. While some fans have been wondering about the possible return of past favorites like Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy, it seems Meryl will not be present, although Amy Purdy is confirmed to be there. Perhaps we can look forward to seeing more fan favorites in Season 20 as DWTS celebrates its 10th anniversary.
So, as we anticipate the final “elimination dancing with the stars tonight” moment where the winner is announced, the question remains: Who will be crowned the champion of Season 19? Will it be Janel and Val, Alfonso and Witney, or will there be a surprise? Let us know who you think will take home the Mirrorball trophy!
