‘Dancing With the Stars’ Fans Weigh in on Who They Want to Win Ahead of Season 29 Finale

It’s Dancing With the Stars finale night, and it all comes down to two more performances for the four finalist teams that have been tearing up the ABC ballroom for all of Season 29. Finalists Kaitlyn Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev; Justina Machado and Sasha Farber; Nelly and Daniella Karagach; and Nev Schulman and Jenna Johnson will all compete for the Mirrorball Trophy during Monday’s live show at 8 p.m. ET, performing two dances before their scores and America’s votes are combined to determine the victor.

It was a tough semifinals last week, with partners Skai Jackson and Alan Bersten and Johnny Weir and Britt Stewart being sent home in a shocking double elimination, and fans have strong opinions about which of the remaining teams they believe deserve to win. Keep scrolling to see where the fans are falling on the Final Four teams and learn more about the finale performances.

Kaitlyn and Artem

The former Bachelorette and her pro partner Chigvintsev have plenty of fans on their side, who have stuck with the team through the highs and lows of their emotional season. 

 

 

Nev and Jenna

The Catfish host’s impeccable dancing skills throughout the season have also earned him and Johnson a strong fan base going into the finale.

Nelly and Daniella

Nelly and Karagach have struggled throughout the season, but earned their first perfect score in the semifinals. The team is a bit of a dark horse going into the finale, but have plenty of people rooting them on.

Justina and Sasha

The One Day at a Time actress and Farber have also been fan-favorites throughout the season, bringing a positive attitude and plenty of flair to their dances, despite a few fumbles. 

Finale Night

It wouldn’t be a Dancing With the Stars finale without a little extra from the celebrity performers. Not only will each team perform two dances — a repeat performance from earlier in the season to show their growth and a freestyle — there’s extra on the way courtesy of Nelly.

The rapper will perform a medley of his greatest hits including “Ride Wit Me,” “Lil Bit” and “Hot in Herre” while his pro dancer partner Karagach dances with her husband and fellow DWTS pro, Pasha Pashkov. Judge Derek Hough will also make his way to the ballroom floor for a solo dance to “Let’s Fall in Love for the Night,” and a number of the eliminated couples from throughout the season will return to the ballroom.

Bachelor Nation fans will also get a sneak peek of the rest of this season of The Bachelorette and a first look at Matt James on The Bachelor.

Final Dances

For their final dances, the teams will perform: 

• Kaitlyn Bristowe and pro Artem Chigvintsev will repeat their Argentine Tango to “Toxic” by Britney Spears, then freestyle dance to “Sparkling Diamonds” from Moulin Rouge.
• Justina Machado and pro Sasha Farber will repeat their cha-cha to “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, then a freestyle dance to “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez and “Bamboleo” by The Gypsy Kings.

Final Dances (continued)
