The finale was filled out by having all the eliminated competitors of the season return for another spin around the ballroom. The show also paid heartfelt tributes to the retiring head judge Len Goodman and to longtime dance pro-Cheryl Burke, who has announced she’s leaving the show that she first joined in 2006.
In the end, it’s all about who received the highest judges’ scores and the most viewer votes. And believe it or not, two couples ended the season with perfect scores! Yes, Len Goodman, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli gave not one but two rounds of 10s to both Charli D’Amelio and Gabby Windey.
