  • Dancing with the Stars Crowns Bobby Bones As Its Season 27 Champion
    (11.19.18) - https://people.com/tv/dancing-with-the-stars-season-27-champion-bobby-bones/ Dancing with the Stars Crowns Bobby Bones as Its Season 27 Champion Dancing with the Stars has a new champion! On Monday’s live finale of the reality dancing competition series, the four remaining couples — Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten, Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess, Milo Manheim and Witney Carson, and Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe — went head-to-head as they competed for the Mirrorball Trophy. The finalists performed two dances on the finale: first, their most memorable number from the season and second, a freestyle for judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. While it was a tight competition, radio show host Bones, 38, was declared the season 27 winner. After being named the champ, Bones said, “Thank you to the people, thank you to Sharna for making all this possible.” “You are, in very true words, the people’s champion my friend,” said co-host Tom Bergeron. Reflecting on his win, Bones told reporters that he was “in shock” about taking home the trophy. “I apologized so many times to [Sharna] for getting stuck with me because she’s so good and talented. I mean if you have a pencil, how do you paint a portrait? It didn’t make sense, but she stuck with me. It was very difficult for me to comprehend some very simple things, even today!” he shared. He added, “I’m so thankful for her people because without the people we wouldn’t be here.

Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu. The show’s cold open will be a sketch aimed at encouraging people to vote as part of a nonpartisan initiative. Later, Tyra Banks will walk out to “Treasure” by Bruno Mars. In addition, for the first time this season, Relay Dances will find our couples split into three groups, dancing either a Cha Cha, Samba or Viennese Waltz relay. Each group will dance to a different song and the couples will take turns, one couple dancing at a time. One judge will rank the couples within each relay group and give bonus points depending on those rankings. These points will be combined with the individual scores and live voting to determine who is up for elimination. Live votes (via abc.com, the ABC app and SMS/text) will occur each week only during the live broadcast in the EST/CST time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window). With each subsequent episode, the live vote combined with the judges’ scores will be revealed during the broadcast.
