‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 25 Finale Betting Odds

–This is the 25th season for ABC’s reality show.

–NFL running back Rashad Jennings was the Season 24 winner.

–’Dancing With The Stars’ Season Finale will air on November 20, 2017 at 8 PM Eastern. The announcement of the winner will air on November 21 at 9 PM Eastern.

The ‘Final Four’ of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ is set and nobody is really happy with it. It’s definitely inexplicable but that’s nothing new. We’ve already talked about the bizarre math that is characteristic of scoring on ‘DWTS’. Were that not enough, its very common for there to be no correlation between the contestant eliminated (and ‘at risk’) and the scores. For example, in Week 8 we saw Terrell Owens be declared the ‘last to be called safe’ with the third highest score among the nine contestants.

The four remaining contestants with their average score this season are as follows:

Jordan ‘J-Fish’ Fisher (27.3)
Lindsey Stirling (26.2)
Frankie Muniz (25.2)
Drew Scott (23.2)

That means that Victoria Arlen was eliminated in the semifinals. On one hand, that’s a seriously courageous performance culminated with an impressive–and better than expected–showing. On the other hand, Arlen had the fourth highest average score (24.9). It’s hard to buy the ‘fan voting’ angle either–everyone loves Arlen. The scores make it all the more bizarre. In two dances on the Semifinal show Drew Scott scored a pair of 24’s. Arlen scored a 27 and tied for the second highest score on the show with a 29. USA TODAY called Arlen’s elimination ‘shocking’. TVLine suggested that this was Arlen’s ‘best night’ of the entire competition. Maybe the producers felt that the emotions of Arlen’s elimination at this point would make for ‘better television’ than for her to fall short in the finals.

The Season 25 finals of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ will take place over two nights on Monday, November 20 (8 to 10 PM Eastern) and Tuesday, November 21 (9 to 11 PM Eastern).
