Surprise Twist Unveils ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 32 Finalists

The recent semi-finals of “Dancing With the Stars” were filled with heartfelt moments and emotional revelations from both contestants and judges. One of the highlights was Jason Mraz’s candid admission about his desire to quit the competition a few weeks prior. Despite feeling like giving up, he expressed his gratitude for staying and emphasized his dedication to his partner, Daniella Karagach, whom he praised as an incredible dance partner.

The emotional intensity continued as dancer Xochitl Gomez’s performance moved judges Derek Hough and Carrie Ann Inaba to tears. Derek emotionally mentioned that this season held particular significance as competitors were vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, something that would have deeply resonated with the esteemed Len Goodman. Carrie Ann was visibly moved by Gomez’s routine, expressing that it was an experience she didn’t want to end, which was rare even after many seasons of the show.

Both Alyson Hannigan and Ariana Madix became emotional at the end of their performances, expressing heartfelt appreciation for their respective partners and acknowledging their partners’ deservingness of a spot in the finals.

To add to the dramatic tension, the co-hosts revealed an unprecedented twist for the show: All five remaining couples would progress to the finale. This twist meant that the scores from the semi-finals, as well as the audience votes, would carry over to the final round, intensifying the competition and setting the stage for an unpredictable and thrilling conclusion to the season.
