'Dancing With the Stars' 2016: Who Will Win, Nyle DiMarco, Paige VanZant Or Ginger Zee? [POLL, VIDEO]
Only three couples are left on this season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, so it's time to figure out who's going to win this thing!
Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd, Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas and Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy are all that remain on Dancing With the Stars. The couples will dance for the judges and America for the last time on Monday, and the public will then vote on a winner.
All three couples have received very similar scores throughout the season VanZant and Ballas have an average score of 26.5 out of 30, DiMarco and Murgatroyd have an average of 26.4, while Zee and Chmerkovskiy have an average of 26. Each couple has had some major highs and a few lows, and all have appeared to be frontrunners at one point or another.
Let's break the couples down individually:
DiMarco and Murgatroyd came out of the gate swinging, having tied for the best score of the night in Week 1. They have repeated this in Weeks 3, 5 and 7. DiMarco being completely deaf has been a huge storyline this season, especially considering his incredible dancing prowess. DiMarco did have a moment in the middle of the season where he bragged about being the best dancer on the show, but that hasn't hurt his favorability among fans, clearly. It's possible DiMarco has the best story and skill needed to win the Mirrorball trophy.
VanZant and Ballas are perhaps the most technically proficient couple left among the three. They have received several perfect or near-perfect scores since the beginning, culminating in a close-to-perfect score total in the Semifinals. However, VanZant and Ballas are the only couple left to have faced danger of going home. They were last to be called safe in both Week 6 and the Semifinals, and while that may not exactly mean they were truly in danger of elimination, it does suggest that their vote totals may be lower than expected, and producers are looking to give their fans a boost in motivation.
Zee and Chmerkovskiy are perhaps the most divisive couple left. Despite some high scores that come close to DiMarco and VanZant, they are not quite as liked by some portions of the fanbase, as seen in Facebook comments. Regardless, she is clearly liked by others in the fanbase considering she's still in the competition, and in the finals at that. Like the other two, Zee has received perfect or near-perfect scores throughout her run on the show, though there have been a few weaker performances from her. If she comes out swinging in the finale, she could be a contender to win that trophy.
