ABC is headed back to the ballroom with the season 34 premiere of Dancing with the Stars on September 16, and it's going to be one incredible adventure! The cast is an eclectic blend of celebrities from the film and TV genres, as well as the wildlife refuge and the Olympics. None of them had dancing or fancy footwork in their past, so it's going to be thrilling to see what everyone will bring to the dance floor!
September 3 dropped the season's cast in its entirety, and there were some unexpected surprises! While we did know that Australian zoologist Robert Irwin would be among the crowd earlier this year, back in April, comedian Andy Richter was a shock, as he's well known for dropping the zingers, but not gracing the ballroom. But he could totally bring in the unexpected to DWTS, and that's something we're looking forward to.
But only one celebrity can take home the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. While the competition will be hot and high-end intense, it's safe to say that there will be lines of support from the competitors, and no bad vibes will be given.
That said, we have predictions of who might be season 34's winner, but we're extending our support to everyone!
Our 5 predictions of who will be the Dancing With The Stars season 34 champion
Danielle Fishel
Fishel is best known for her role as the girl next door, Topanga Lawrence, in the long-running 1990s comedy, Boy Meets World. Her fun spirit and personality will bring the much-needed energy to the floor, and with being partnered with Pasha Pashkov, Fishel is sure to be one of the finalists.
She might even bring some of that 1990s nostalgia that we have been craving recently, as several of us grew up in this decade.
Elaine Hendrix
You might have seen Hendrix in a few of the hit 1990s comedies, The Parent Trap and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. In both of her roles, she played the Mean Girl, but in a more positive light, The Parent Trap made Hendrix a Disney Legend. So, it doesn't come off as much of a shock when DWTS recruited her.
Will she bring the drama to the show for her Mirrorball chance, or will Hendrix's Southern charm?
Robert Irwin
Irwin is the son and the youngest child of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, and was the first celebrity announced for season 34. His sister, Bindi Irwin, was a contestant in season 21, and she and her partner, Derek Hough, were the season's champions. The younger Irwin could follow in Bindi's footsteps if he were to win.
From gliding his way at the Australian Zoo that he helps run with his family as a conservationist and photographer, to DWTS, Irwin will bring a little bit of a wild glide to the ballroom!
Jordan Chiles
Olympian star Jordan Chiles might know her way around beams and the pommel horses, but will her gymnastic provenance be enough for the Trophy? The sport's known for its graceful movements and agility, so there's a strong chance that Chiles will blow us away with her dancing.
Her tenure as a gymnast will also make a great contribution to the show's legacy.
Hilaria Baldwin
Hilaria is the wife of Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin and is the star of the hit TLC reality show, The Baldwins, where she, her husband, and their seven children document their lives in New York City. Hilaria is also a yoga instructor and worked as an on-air correspondent for Extra, so she has something in common with Judge Hough. That makes season 34 possess a fun connection.
Will Hilaria utilize a few of her yoga moves into her dance routines and creating new versions of the popular dances? And will they be enough for her to win the Mirrorball Trophy?
