Dancing With the Stars Season 33 Finale: Live Updates

Season 32 of “Dancing With the Stars,” which aired its finale in December 2023, ended with actress Xochitl Gomez and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy being declared the winners.

The Marvel star was awarded the series’ first-ever Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy after defeating fellow competitors Alyson Hannigan, Charity Lawson, Ariana Madix and Jason Mraz.

The win was also Chmerkovskiy’s third win on the show.

For the Season 33 finale on November 26, Gomez will return to the “DWTS” ballroom to dance with Chmerkovskiy to Chappell Roan’s hit “Pink Pony Club.”

Season 33 contestant Anna Delvey has returned to “Dancing With the Stars” along with other eliminated contestants from this season.

Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, shared a group photo of herself, Tori Spelling, Phaedra Parks and current finalist Chandler Kinney on Instagram hours before the finale.

“Came back for nothing,” the fake German heiress captioned the post, referencing her blunt reaction when she was eliminated in September.

In the freestyle round, where participants decide on the dance style, the five couples perform the following routines:

• Danny Amendola and pro Witney Carson will perform a routine to “Pink” by Lizzo and “I’m Just Ken” by Ryan Gosling.
• Joey Graziadei and pro Jenna Johnson will perform a freestyle to “Canned Heat” by District 78 featuring Jake Simpson.
• Chandler Kinney and professional Brandon Armstrong will perform a routine to “Hellzapoppin'” by the Eyal Vilner Big Band and “Move On Up” by Curtis Mayfield.
• Ilona Maher and professional Alan Bersten will perform a routine to “Femininomenon” by District 78 ft Mona Rue.
• Stephen Nedoroscik and professional Rylee Arnold will perform a routine to “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay.

The Season 33 Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy was revealed before the finale.

In an Instagram video, co-host Alfonso Ribeiro presented the trophy with a funny tone.

During the three-hour finale, the remaining five couples perform the following routines for the redemption round.

• Danny Amendola and Witney Carson will perform a tango to Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen.
• Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson will perform a cha cha to “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake.
• Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong will perform a jive to “Apt.” by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars.
• Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten will perform a jive to “Shake A Tail Feather” by Ray Charles & The Blues Brothers.
• Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold will perform a quickstep to “I’ll Be There for You” by the Rembrandts.
