DANCING WITH THE STARS: Chrishell Stause Eliminated; Shares She is Grateful For The Once in a Lifetime Experience
Monday night’s edition of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars brought with it the unfortunate end of the road for Selling Sunset and former soap star, Chrishell Stause.
At the end of the episode and during the results portion, Stause and her pro dance partner, Gleb Savchenko were eliminated by the judges when they landed in the bottom two.
With Chrishell out of the running for the Mirror Ball Trophy that means that all former soap stars are out of the competition. First, Anne Heche (Ex-AW) was sent home, later Jesse Metcalfe (Ex-Passions, Desperate Housewives and Dallas) and now Srause (Ex-AMC, DAYS and Y&R).
Here’s what went down during the last two dances Chrishell would perform in the competition, in a night that saw a relay with other couples, plus her own routine with her partner:
Dancing to “Love on the Brain” by Rihanna and performing the Viennese Waltz, the judges felt that Chrishell was becoming a more consistent dancer and was improving. They thought the performance was both ‘elegant and sexy’. Judge Bruno gave Stause feedback to try to “sustain” her performances. They scored 24 out of 30.

Later, Chrishell and Gleb performed in the Cha Cha relay to Lady Gaga’s “Rain On Me”. Stause was up against other celebs in the relay, Nev Shulman and Nelly. Carrie Ann judged the relay. Out of a possible 3 additional points awarded to the couples, Chrishell and Gleb received 2. After combining the scores and fans’ votes Skai Jackson and Chrishell Stause landed in the bottom two with sadly, Stause being sent home.
After her elimination, Chrishell spoke to ET and shared how with all she had gone through and shared publicly about her personal life, that it was still such a rewarding experience being part of the cast of DWTS: “I feel like this show has been very therapeutic. We worked through so many things through this. I’ve had to talk about things that I didn’t necessarily want to talk about, and I’ve had to push myself. In doing that, it’s just freed me up a little bit.” She added: “I know it should be a sad moment right now, because, of course, I didn’t want to leave, but I’m so happy that I’ve had this experience and I’m so grateful. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and I’ll never forget it.”

DANCING WITH THE STARS: Crowns Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy Winners of Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy
On the three-hour season 32 finale of Dancing with the Stars, it all came down to who would take home the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy. This would mark the first time the winners would receive the coveted award named after the beloved head judge who passed away in 2022.
With a perfect score for each of their four last dances (from last week’s competitions and the finale), it was clear that the team to beat was Xochitl Gomez and her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy. But would America feel the same?
After a stunning night of freestyle routines to close out the final round of competition, and a redemption dance performed earlier in the night, as deemed by one of the judges for the couples to improve upon from a previous performance, the five remaining couples put their best foot forward.

Here’s how it shook out when hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough revealed the results:
In fifth place: Alyson Hannigan and Sasha Farber. Next, in fourth place were former ‘Bachelorette’ star Charity Lawson and Artem Chigvintsev. Third place belonged to Vanderpump Rules star, Ariana Madix and her pro partner, Pasha Pashkov.
Then it all came down to two, Xochitl and Val, or Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Jason Mraz and pro partner Daniella Karagach. Mraz had actually performed his latest single, “I Feel Like Dancing” shortly before the results portion of the show.

The Season 31-winning celebrity contestant, Charli D’Amelio, returned to the ballroom floor to present the Mirrorball trophy to the winners. D’Amelio had performed earlier in the finale with her former pro partner, Mark Ballas, for a special routine.

Jason and Daniella were announced in first place, as Xochitl and Val were announced the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy winners. For Val, this marks his third victory in his Dancing with the Stars career. He previously won the Mirrorball trophy with Rumor Willis in 2015 and Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez in 2016.

In the finale, Gomez and Chmerkovskiy performed a redemption foxtrot to Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally”, and finished with a freestyle dance to ‘Que Calor” by District 78.
Happy that Xochitl and Val won the season 32 Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy? Who did you think of the final results? Comment below.
