The Dancing with the Stars finale kicks off Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET with five couples vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. The five celebrities left standing are influencers Alix Earle and Dylan Efron, actress Elaine Hendrix, wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles. It will be an elaborate, three-hour affair, with each couple dancing three times over the course of the finale. Those three dances include a “judges’ choice” dance, an instant dance and a freestyle routine.
The “judges’ choice” dance is one selected by Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba or Derek Hough, the instant dance is a test of the dancer’s ability to quickly learn a routine with little prep and the freestyle is a no-rules chance for the contestant to show their skills.
This season has been extremely competitive, with the highly-scored Whitney Leavitt of The Secret Lives of Mormon Lives going home in the semifinals in a stunning elimination.
