Who Will Win 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 34 In 2025? Here's A Roundup Of All Major Predictions

Dancing with the Stars Season 34 has received overwhelming love and loyal viewership, surpassing the previous season's numbers by a significant margin. In turn, viewers have consistently followed the journey of their favourite celebrities on the show,, and after a long week of waiting, the show is finally approaching a three-hour grand finale on November 25, 2025. Needless to say, the internet is filled with productions, expert rankings, and fan polls to decide who will take home the prestigious Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

This season has been one of the most widely viewed seasons, with ABC reporting a 19% increase in viewership compared to the previous season. After a long journey, we are left with the top five contenders, including Robert Irwin, Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, Dylan Efron, and Elaine Hendrix, who each had a unique journey, earning them a loyal fan base. But despite the close battles, the internet seems to have leaned in one direction. Take a look at the breakdown of 5 popular online predictors ahead of DWTS finale 2025.

Parade's prediction: Robert Irwin leads the pack 

According to Parade, the predictions for the finale took an unexpected turn when Whitney Leavitt, one of the season's highest-scoring dancers, was eliminated in a shocking semi-final exit. Yet, Parade has maintained that its original prediction remains unchanged, which announced Robert Irwin and Witney Carson as the frontrunners in the race to win. Parade notes that Robert had a strong start from week one, with the added advantage of a family legacy. 

His sister, Bindi Irwin, won DWTS Season 21, and he was the very first celebrity announced for Season 34. Moreover, he is paired with Whitney Carson, one of the most successful pros who has worked with non-dancers. Meanwhile, it names Alix Earle as the strongest competitor with 7.7 million followers on TikTok, who consistently improved week by week. Meanwhile, Jordan Chiles comes in third with impressive judges' scores but a relatively new pro-partner. Lastly, it places Dylan Efron and Elaine Hendrix in the fourth and fifth spots.

Gold Derby predicts Robert Irwin's domination 

Gold Derby has accurately predicted the winner of the last three seasons of Dancing with the Stars 2025. It combines bets and forecasts by thousands of fans and asserts that Robert Irwin has a 91% chance of winning the show. Gold Derby highlighted that if Robert wins, he and Bindi would be the first siblings in the history of DWTS to win Mirrorball trophies. Moreover, it would be Whitney Carson's second championship win that would position her among the elite pros who have won multiple trophies.

On the other hand, after Robert Irwin's win, they predicted that Alix Earle has a 63% chance of winning. Jordan Chiles has 44% (which is highly debated), Dylan Efron has 53% chances, and Elaine Hendrix has a 73% chance of finishing as the last contender. 

Washington Square Rankings has a slightly different lineup

In comparison to other predictions, Washington Square Post has a slightly different ranking. They rank Robert Irwin at the top, followed by Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, and Elaine Hendrix, with Dylan Efron at the last. Their predictions are similar to Parade's top three. Still, they place Elaine above Dylan, suggesting that her resilience to resume after a medical emergency has earned her increased admiration from the viewers. Their list focuses on performance consistency, and yet they crowned Robert as the likely winner.

Reality Tea highlights that fans' power will push Robert Irwin to the top 

Even Reality Tea names Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson as the couple to heat. They pointed out that Robert has consistently topped in the second half of the season and showcased remarkable improvement. Additionally, their biggest point is about fan engagement, where Reality Tea notes Robert's dancing videos outperform all other contestants on social media. Moreover, they receive far more likes and shares, testifying to their strength.

After predicting, Robert Irwin, followed by Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, Elaine Hendrix, and Dylan Efron. Reality Tea highlights that Robert's fan base appears to be the strongest.

Betting Odds from BetOnline mention that Robert is still the clear favourite

Betting online platform BetOnline, which adjusts its weekly odds, also aligns with the majority. Robert Irwin is the heavy favorite at -500, where Alix Earle has +225, Jordan Chiles has +1000, Dylan Efron stands with +2500, and Elaine Hendrix has +2500. This significant gap between Robert and the next contender signals high confidence in his victory.

Result: Who will actually win DWTS Season 34? 

Across all five major predictions, Parade, Gold Derby, Washington Square News, Reality Tea, and BetOnline unanimously crowned Robert Irwin as the clear winner of Dancing with the Stars 2025. He has consistently received high scores, a massive fan base, and has delivered emotional storytelling, building momentum from the semi-finals. At the same time, Alix Earle is a strong challenger, especially with her massive social media following. However, they are just predictions and not the final result. Consequently, it will be important to determine if this is reflected in the final day's results.

What to expect in the DWTS 2025 finale?

According to ABC, Dancing with the Stars 2025 could have the most demanding finale yet. They have decided on a three-hour event, beginning with a group opening to Never Can Say Goodbye, choreographed by Joey Pizzi, and Judges' Choice routines coached by Carrie Ann, Derek, and Bruno. It will be followed by an Instant Dance Challenge, where every dancer will learn choreography within just three minutes before the performance. There will be another Freestyle round, touted to be the season's biggest showstopper and a special routine by Season 33's Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson.
