In just a few short days, 14 couples will take the stage to compete on Dancing With the Stars. Mark my words: Dylan Efron with Daniella Karagach will take home the Mirror Ball.
This is not an easy prediction to make because when I tell you this year’s lineup is stacked, I mean it. From Olympians to Topanga, it is safe to say we will see a little bit of everything. This will make the show more fun to watch but so much harder to judge.
When I make my yearly predictions, I do not just base them on how talented I think the celebrities are going to be — I also have to consider the fan bases behind them, as the fans also vote. So many of this season’s contestants have a very active social media presence, and that will help push them to a better placement on the show.
This year’s couples include Jen Affleck with Jan Ravnik, Hilaria Baldwin with Gleb Savchenko, Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa, Baron Davis with Britt Stewart, Alix Earle with Val Chmerkovskiy, Dylan Efron with Daniella Karagach (winner winner chicken dinner), Corey Feldman with Jenna Johnson, Danielle Fishel with Pasha Pashkov, Elaine Hendrix with Alan Bersten, Scott Hoying with Rylee Arnold, Robert Irwin with Witney Carson, Lauren Jauregui with Brandon Armstrong, Whitney Leavitt with Mark Ballas, and Andy Richter with Emma Slater.
I believe Efron and Karagach have all the resources they need to excel on DWTS. I mean, this is Efron’s time to shine and make a name for himself. Also, he already has a large advantage with Zac Efron’s fans rallying behind him. As for Karagach, she is one of the most successful dancers in the show. She will bring out the best in Efron — I know they have what it takes.
I have a feeling Earle and Chmerkovskiy will be runner-ups. The videos they post on TikTok are giving me hope. The precision they show and the amount of people who are supporting them will definitely be enough to take second. People may underestimate Earle, but I think she will turn heads in this competition.
Taking third place will be Irwin and Carson due to their work ethic and personalities. All of their videos together make it seem like they click very well. Not to mention, Irwin had deep ties to the show and a fan base like no other. This is going to give them an excellent chance at making it to the finals.
The last couple I think will go to the finals will be Hoying and Arnold. In my opinion, they will be one of the most fun duos on the show, and it’s safe to say their bubbly personalities will shine through all of their dances. Not only will they win over the fans’ hearts, but I predict their passion will take them far in this competition.
If I’m being honest, I’m rooting for way too many couples this season to choose just one couple. I will not be mad if my predictions are wrong; however, I do have a strong feeling that Efron and Karagach are going to be crowned as the Mirror Ball champions. This Efron brother is not shooting hoops, he is shooting for 10’s.
