Time flies when you’re spinning across the dance floor! As Dancing With the Stars Season 33 wraps up its semifinal round, the show delivered one last delightful surprise: no eliminations! All five semifinalists will dance for the coveted Mirrorball trophy in next week’s finale.
The semifinal round aired Tuesday night, showcasing intense competition as each pair performed two routines: one ballroom style and one Latin style. Co-host Julianne Hough even admitted how tough it would be to send someone home. The solution? Don’t! Just as in last year’s semifinals, all remaining contestants — Chandler Kinney, Joey Graziadei, Ilona Maher, Danny Amendola, and Stephen Nedoroscik — advanced to the final showdown.
Here’s a recap of their stunning performances from the evening:
Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong
Routine 1: Salsa
Chandler kicked off the night with a lively salsa, packed with sass and energy. While Derek Hough noted the routine could have included more traditional salsa elements — particularly in the side-by-side sequences — Chandler’s performance still entertained. A touch of timidity appeared during moments like her handwork with Brandon near the judges’ table, but her Round 2 dance was a different story.Routine 2: Foxtrot
Chandler’s foxtrot oozed elegance, with a confident attitude that matched its theme. The grace and precision on display impressed the judges, cementing her as a strong contender for the finale.
Scores:
- Salsa: 29/30
- Foxtrot: 29/30
- Total: 58/60
Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson
Routine 1: Foxtrot
Joey dazzled with a foxtrot that was smooth as silk. Male celebrity contestants often struggle with ballroom styles, but Joey performed with such natural ease and grace that it seemed effortless. He and Jenna floated across the floor, and his confidence was palpable throughout.Routine 2: Paso Doble
Joey’s paso doble brought fierce intensity. Despite a couple of small stumbles that earned nines from Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, Joey’s dramatic commitment and magnetic knee-slide toward the camera left a lasting impression.
Scores:
- Foxtrot: 30/30
- Paso Doble: 28/30
- Total: 58/60
