DWTS 34 Finale: Will Robert & Witney Win or Alix Earle?

Fans Are Split, Polls Are Wild, and DWTS Might Shock Us Again

Okay DWTS fans, the moment we’ve all been waiting (and screaming) for is HERE. Dancing With The Stars Season 34 is down to its final week, and the vibes are absolutely chaotic—in the best way possible.

The ABC hit show is entering its 3-hour mega finale, and yes, the winner will finally be revealed. But DWTS being DWTS… there’s a very good chance we might get one of those shocking, meme-worthy twists they love surprising us with.

The Finale Is Bringing Something Totally New

For the first time ever, DWTS is dropping an “instant dance challenge.”
Meaning: the top five finalists must learn a brand-new skill SUPER fast… and then perform it like nothing happened. Stress level? SKY-HIGH. Entertainment level? Also sky-high.

Week 10—as in the episode that eliminated Whitney Leavitt—already scored 7.2 million views, one of the biggest of the season. So the finale? Yeah, it’s going to explode.

Prediction Polls Are Screaming TWO Names

As fans cast unofficial votes and online polls go wild, the internet is basically split down the middle between just two pairs:

Robert Irwin & Witney Carson
Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy

Both duos have built insane momentum—scores, fanbases, emotional appeal, everything.

Robert Irwin walked into DWTS with zero dance experience and walked out becoming one of the strongest candidates of the entire season.
He:

• Became the first to get a 40/40 perfect score

• Won hearts with his emotional storytelling

• Delivered major warrior energy

• Built a HUGE voting fanbase

Oh—and let’s not forget, he's Steve Irwin’s son, and his sister Bindi Irwin won DWTS Season 21. So yes, the Irwin legacy runs STRONG.

Meanwhile, Witney Carson has been to the finale five or six times but has never taken home the Mirror Ball. Fans are rooting THICK for her this time.

On the other side, we have Alix Earle, queen of TikTok with 7+ million followers, and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, one of DWTS’ most loved pros.

Their dance journey has been one of the biggest glow-ups of the season. Fans claim their performances were the most consistent—and the scores back that up.

With Alix’s massive social media army behind her, this duo could easily sweep the votes.

But Wait… DWTS LOVES an Underdog Twist

Here’s where it gets juicy.

DWTS has a history of pulling surprise wins. Like… big ones. The “HOW DID THEY WIN?” kind.

If that happens again, keep an eye on:

• Dylan Efron & Daniella Karagach (lowest score in Week 10 but still in the game)

• Jordan Chiles & Ezra Sosa

• Elaine Hendrix & Alan Bersten

They’re all strong contenders, even if polls aren’t shouting their names.

So Who’s Winning?

Honestly? It’s anyone’s game.
But prediction polls are clear: This is a ROBERT vs. ALIX showdown.

The final answer will drop only after the 3-hour season finale on November 25, 2025.
We’re grabbing popcorn. You should too.
