One of the highlights was Jason Mraz\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The emotional intensity continued as dancer Xochitl Gomez\u2019s 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\u2019s routine, expressing that it was an experience she didn\u2019t want to end, which was rare even after many seasons of the show.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019 deservingness of a spot in the finals.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"pmc-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical__slides\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical__slide-wrapper\" data-slide-id=\"1235812198\" data-slide-index=\"0\" data-slide-position-display=\"1\">\n<article class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__header\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-details\">\n<h2 class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__title\"><strong>Jason Mraz and Daniella Karagach<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__figure c-gallery-slide--loaded c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__figure--loaded\" role=\"presentation\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__image u-gallery-react-placeholder-shimmer\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/170402_EM201233.jpg?w=800\" alt=\"DANCING WITH THE STARS -  \u201cA Celebration of Taylor Swift - 3209\u201d \u2013 How\u2019d we end up on the (ballroom) floor anyway?
