Who Will Win DWTS 2025? Roundup of Major Season 34 Predictions

Here’s What Five Big Platforms Predict About the DWTS Finale

The internet is buzzing because Dancing With The Stars Season 34 is finally heading into its massive three-hour grand finale on November 25, 2025. And of course, the big question everyone is screaming online is:
“WHO is taking home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy?!”

This season has been a total powerhouse — ABC even confirmed a 19% jump in viewership, making it one of the biggest seasons in recent years. After weeks of drama, lifts, tears, sparkles, and some seriously emotional storytelling, we’re down to the Top 5 finalists:

Robert Irwin
Alix Earle
Jordan Chiles
Dylan Efron
Elaine Hendrix

Each one has danced their heart out, but the internet seems to be pointing in one very clear direction. So we checked out five major online predictors, and here’s what the digital dance floor is saying.

1. Parade: Robert Irwin Is Still Their No. 1 Pick

Parade had a surprising shocker this season: fan-favorite Whitney Leavitt got eliminated in the semis — heartbreaking!
But even after the shakeup, Parade isn’t changing their winner:
Robert Irwin & Witney Carson are still their top bet.

Why?

• Robert started strong from Week 1

• His sister, Bindi Irwin, already won Season 21

• He’s partnered with superstar pro Witney Carson, who’s known for transforming non-dancers

• And yes, Alix Earle is their strongest challenger thanks to her wild 7.7M TikTok fanbase

Their ranking:
1- Robert
2- Alix
3- Jordan
4- Dylan
5- Elaine

2. Gold Derby: The Prediction King Gives Robert a 91% Chance

Gold Derby has correctly predicted the last three DWTS champions. So, when they say someone is winning — the fandom listens.

They’re putting Robert Irwin at a massive 91% chance of winning Season 34.
They even claim: if he wins, he and Bindi become the first sibling duo to ever win the Mirrorball.

Other predictions:

• Alix Earle – 63%

• Jordan Chiles – 44%

• Dylan Efron – 53%

• Elaine Hendrix – 73% chance of finishing last

(Yes, DWTS math is chaos, but we love it.)

3. Washington Square Post: Similar to Parade, With One Twist

These folks also rank Robert at the top, followed by Alix and Jordan.
But here’s their twist:
They place Elaine Hendrix ABOVE Dylan Efron.

Why?
They believe Elaine’s comeback after her medical scare won major viewer respect. Respect to the queen.

4. Reality Tea: Robert Is “The One to Beat”

Reality Tea keeps it simple:
Robert is the fan-favorite. Period.

They say Robert’s videos get:

• More likes

• More shares

• More comments

• More chaos across social media

Their ranking:
1- Robert
2- Alix
3- Jordan
4- Elaine
5- Dylan

5. BetOnline: Also Team Robert

Even betting platforms are on the same page — they’re calling Robert Irwin the likely winner based on voting patterns and season-long momentum.
