Bristowe's invite was seen firsthand on television as The Bachelor host Chris Harrison extended the offer to Dancing With the Stars during one of the show's recap episode earlier in the pandemic. It also was special because Bristowe had previously not been allowed to compete on the show despite her interest due to conflicting interests between the two ABC shows.

Whenever the Mirrorball is handed out, there always is going to be one fanbase that is the loudest about the results. In this case, it turned out to be the Catfish star's fans who felt he was the more deserving of the two.

From a scoring perspective, Schulman was among the most successful this season in consistently getting the highest scores. He and his partner netted a pair of perfect scores on finale night and finished the season with 30s in each of their final four performances.

Taking third was Nelly, who also performed during the episode. He and Karagach, who was a first-time pro, had a special connection throughout the series and had many fans hoping they had come out on top.

For Chigvintsev, this Mirrorball Trophy has some even more meaning behind it. His wife, Nikki Bella, just gave birth to their first child, a son, in July.

Rounding out the top four was Machado and Farber, a duo that had certainly had their fair share of memorable moments throuhgout the series. Despite placing fourth, there supporters still believe they should have been the ones to take home the top prize.
