‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 28 Spoilers: Who Will Win Mirror Ball Trophy?

“Dancing With the Stars” fans may still need to wait until premiere night to learn just who is dancing with who, but even a certain pro partner may not be enough when it comes to the odds some of the Season 28 celebs have when it comes to potentially winning the Mirrorball Trophy.

The Season 28 cast of the ABC show is one of the most eclectic bunches of celebrities yet, featuring athletes, singers, actors, and even a former member of the Trump Administration. While fans used to know the exact pairs for the show prior to the premiere, making it easier to sometimes guess how a celeb would perform based on who was teaching them, this time around, fans are left wondering—and can only guess based on how well they think each actual celeb can perform based on their own skills.

Of course, even the best guesses are simply just that, as Season 27 proved that anything is possible, considering two of the show’s worst dancers all season, Joe Amabile and Bobby Bones, both went on to place in the top five teams, with Bones even winning the title over performers who wowed all season. With all of that in mind, as well as betting odds from Las Vegas bookies, here’s how we think the season will play out.

Most Likely Celebrity To Win:

• Ally Brooke (Average odds +375)

By far, the former Fifth Harmony singer outranks her competitors when it comes to who fans think will take the Mirrorball Trophy home. Her years of experience with Fifth Harmony will likely propel her to the finals, similarly to how her former bandmate, Normani Kordei, performed during Season 24. With an ability to already move well and a massive fanbase behind her, she does seem like she would be difficult to beat.

• Don’t Count Out: Also faring well among the betting odds as fan favorites to win are three of the male celebrities—James Van Der Beek, Karamo and Ray Lewis. They also have fan bases that could give them an edge, and if they play their cards right, they too could also win the Mirrorball.
• Dark Horse Contenders: Whereas the celebs who seemed least likely to win used to never really be looped in with contenders, after Season 27, any conventional wisdom about the show goes out the window. Keep that in mind for Hannah Brown, who has won the hearts of Bachelor Nation (a huge force when it comes to fan votes), as well as Sean Spicer, who, while a controversial casting choice, could potentially get a lot of support from any Trump supporters who are tuning in.

Most Likely Final Four:

• Ally Brooke, James Van Der Beek, Karamo and Ray Lewis would be the best bets right out of the gate, but Kel Mitchell and Lauren Alaina are also highly likely to rank up there as well.

First Male Celebrity Out Of The Competition:

While it doesn’t mean he would be the absolute first person voted out, the chances are pretty high that Sean Spicer will go before any of his other male celebrity counterparts. Another contender for being voted out early is Lamar Odom, though he still has better odds than the former Press Secretary.

First Female Celebrity Out Of The Competition:

She may be a Supreme, but that doesn’t mean that Mary Wilson is going to have a supremely long run on the show. Of all the female competitors, she has the highest probable odds of being voted out first, followed by Christie Brinkley and Kate Flannery.

See how the season lays out when “Dancing With The Stars” Season 28 airs beginning Monday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
