- Winner (Finale): Robert Irwin and Witney Carson
The conservationist and son of Steve Irwin was crowned the champion, continuing his family's legacy on the show (his sister Bindi Irwin won Season 21). His infectious enthusiasm and polished routines secured him the Mirrorball Trophy.
The Shocking Double Eliminations and Semifinals Drama
Season 34 was characterized by its unpredictable format, which saw two major double eliminations that dramatically reshaped the competition. The first came early in Week 2, a rarity for the show, which typically allows couples more time to find their footing. This early shock exit sent both Corey Feldman and Baron Davis home, immediately raising the stakes for the remaining celebrities.
The second major shake-up occurred during the Seminfinals (Week 10), where a brutal triple elimination cut the field from eight couples down to the final five. This night saw the emotional departures of social media star Whitney Leavitt and her pro Mark Ballas, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, and actor Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach. The high-pressure environment of the Semifinals, where couples often deliver their most technically demanding routines, proved too much for these fan favorites, making for one of the most talked-about nights of the season.
The judges—Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli—were often divided on the close scores during these critical weeks, emphasizing the narrow margin between safety and elimination. The intense competition meant that even high-scoring couples found themselves in jeopardy due to the unpredictable nature of the viewer vote.
Robert Irwin and Witney Carson: A Family Legacy Continued
The ultimate question of "who left on Dancing with the Stars" was answered in the spectacular Week 11 Finale, which saw Robert Irwin and his professional partner Witney Carson lift the Mirrorball Trophy. Irwin, a conservationist from the famous Irwin family, followed in the footsteps of his sister, Bindi Irwin, who won the competition in Season 21.
Their victory was a testament to their consistent improvement and the deep connection they forged with the audience. Their final dances, including a breathtaking Freestyle, showcased a blend of technical skill and emotional storytelling that resonated with both the judges and the voters.
The competition was incredibly tight, with TikTok sensation Alix Earle and her partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy finishing as the impressive runners-up. Earle’s journey was one of the season’s biggest growth stories, as she transformed from a novice dancer into a formidable finalist. The final night was a celebration of the entire cast, but especially the top two, who delivered some of the best performances of the entire 2025 season.
The DWTS Season 34 Hosts and Judges: The Faces of the Ballroom
Adding to the season's energy was the return of the popular hosting and judging lineup. Co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, both former champions of the show, brought an insider's perspective and infectious enthusiasm to the ballroom.
The judging panel remained consistent, providing expert critiques and memorable moments:
- Carrie Ann Inaba: Known for her focus on emotion and lifts, she is the longest-serving judge on the panel.
- Derek Hough: A six-time Mirrorball champion, his technical critiques and insightful analysis were invaluable.
- Bruno Tonioli: The flamboyant judge continued to provide entertaining and passionate commentary on the performances.
The chemistry between the hosts, the judges, and the competitive cast made Dancing with the Stars Season 34 a truly unforgettable experience. While fans were sad to see their favorites go, the journey of every eliminated star contributed to the overall drama and excitement that led to the crowning of Robert Irwin and Witney Carson as the champions.
