The Mirrorball Magic: A New Cast, A New Season
Kicking off in March 2016, Dancing with the Stars Season 22 brought a fresh batch of celebrities ready to strut their stuff. With Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews returning as hosts, and the dynamic duo of Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli judging, we knew we were in for a treat.
Meet the Stars: From Olympians to Actors
This season, we had a smorgasbord of talent. We had Olympic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez, actor and singer Ginger Zee, NFL star Von Miller, and even Mr. 305 himself, Pitbull's better half, Derek Hough. And that's not all, folks! We had a Full House reunion with Bobby Bones and Kym Herjavec, and let's not forget the iconic Nyle DiMarco, who brought the heat with his silent but powerful performances.
Week by Week: The Dance-Off Heats Up
Dancing with the Stars Season 22 was a rollercoaster ride, with eliminations that had us on the edge of our seats. Let's take a whirlwind tour through some of the most memorable moments.
The Foxtrot Frenzy
In Week 1, we were introduced to the Cha-Cha, Foxtrot, and Viennese Waltz. Laurie and Val's Foxtrot had us swooning, while Nyle and Peta's Viennese Waltz was nothing short of magical. But it was Ginger and Valentin's Cha-Cha that set the bar high, earning them the first perfect score of the season.
The Tango Twist
As the competition got stiffer, so did the dancing. The Tango and Rumba took center stage in Week 4. Von and Witney's Tango was fierce, while Paige and Mark's Rumba was as sultry as they come. But it was Ginger and Valentin who stole the show with their jaw-dropping Tango, earning another perfect score.
The Switch-Up Shake-Up
Week 7 brought the Switch-Up, where pros and stars swapped partners. It was a wild ride, with some unexpected pairings and scores. But it was Nyle and Sharna's emotional Argentine Tango that left us in tears and the judges in awe.
The Grand Finale: The Mirrorball Takes Flight
After weeks of stunning performances, heartwarming stories, and a few unexpected eliminations, we reached the Dancing with the Stars Season 22 finale. The night was filled with incredible performances, emotional goodbyes, and a Mirrorball trophy that was up for grabs.
The Winner Takes It All
In a nail-biting finish, it was Laurie Hernandez and Val Chmerkovskiy who took home the coveted trophy. Their journey from Olympic gymnast to Dancing with the Stars champion was nothing short of inspiring. But let's give a round of applause to all our finalists – Ginger Zee, Paige VanZant, and Fish – who gave it their all and left us with unforgettable performances.
