Winner Predictions Are Already Swirling
Who are the early frontrunners to win season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars”? Once the cast was announced, Gold Derby shared their thoughts on the likely contestants to watch with some early predictions.
As Gold Derby noted, two Olympians joined the season 33 cast, which could be an advantage for them. However, unlike previous winners Laurie Hernandez and Shawn Johnson, neither Maher nor Nedoroscik have the advantage of coming from women’s gymnastics.
For the first time, there are two Bachelor Nation stars in the cast. “The Bachelor” fans are excited to see Graziadei dance with Johnson, but the last-minute addition of Tran could split the power of the Bachelor Nation fans.
Karagach won with basketball player Iman Shumpert in season 30, so she may be one to keep an eye on in season 33 with Howard.
The betting site Bovada currently has Nedoroscik as the favorite to win. Howard and Maher are ranked next, with Amendola after them. The site’s initial odds and predictions to win rank VelJohnson last, with Spelling and Roberts just above him.
Everybody’s predictions could shift significantly after viewers get a chance to see the celebrities and their partners hit the dance floor during the season 33 “Dancing with the Stars” premiere, though.
