Which ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Favorites Might Not Make it to the Finals?

USATue Nov 19 2024
This season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is heating up as the semifinals are about to kick off. With only five celebrities left, everyone is wondering who will make it to the finals and who will be going home. The show’s format is intense – each celebrity performs two dances, and the judges, along with viewer votes, decide who moves on. Who’s at the top? Joey Graziadei is tipped to be the frontrunner, but the competition is fierce with Chandler Kinney and Danny Amendola close on his heels. Meanwhile, Olympians Stephen Nedoroscik and Ilona Maher are the dark horses, and their fate depends on how well they perform in the semifinals. The semifinals routines are a mix of ballroom and Latin-style dances. Danny Amendola and Witney Carson will perform a Viennese Waltz to John Mayer’s “Gravity” and a Salsa to “I Like It” by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin. Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson will dance a Foxtrot to “I Won’t Dance” and a Paso Doble to “Come Together” by Lennon & McCartney. Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong have the Foxtrot to “Too Sweet” by Hozier and the Salsa to “Spicy Margarita” by Jason Derulo and Michael Bublé on their list. Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten take on a Viennese Waltz to “golden hour” by JVKE and a Paso Doble to “Unholy (Orchestral Version)” by Sam Smith and Kim Petras. Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold will dance a Tango to “Sweet Disposition” by The Temper Trap and a Cha Cha to “Bailar” by Deorro featuring Elvis Crespo. The show starts with a bang, featuring Dua Lipa’s “Dance The Night” performed by Sasha Farber and Ezra Sosa. With only one episode left after the semifinals, the pressure is on. The season finale is set for Nov. 26, 2024. Fans can vote live during the semifinals in the ET/CT time zones and online via dwtsvote. abc. com. Viewer votes combined with judge scores will determine the outcome. Hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will guide us through this exciting finale. Catch the show Tuesdays at 8 p. m. EST on ABC, Disney Plus, and the next day on Hulu.
