The Nov. 19, 2024, semifinal episode of Dancing with the Stars is creating quite a stir, not only for the double dose of excitement — each duo had to perform two dances, one ballroom style, and one Latin style — but also because no one was eliminated.
That’s right, in a shocking turn of events, fans watched as all five competitors in the semifinal round were marked safe from elimination, just as some viewers had suspected. That means five competitors will advance to the final round, with the three-hour finale airing on Nov. 26, 2024. So, who exactly are the Season 33 finalists on DWTS?
