Who Will Win “Dancing With the Stars: Juniors?’ All The Teams With Advantages
Fans may not get to have a say in who wins “Dancing With the Stars: Juniors” since the series was entirely pre-taped, but the show featuring child stars and impressive young pros is sure to still be a thrilling competition.
The ABC series officially confirmed its cast during the two-night premiere of “Dancing With the Stars,” unveiling who would perform during the new series during night two of the adult cast’s competition. While a pre-taped show means viewers don’t get the ability to vote live and therefore keep any of their favorites around, it doesn’t mean the competition won’t be one which sees some surprising results. Naturally, some of the teams definitely seem more suited to win than others might, meaning that there are a few who fans can definitely count on seeing in the finals.
Here are the four teams with the most significant advantage going into the competition.
Kenzie Ziegler/Sage Rosen/Gleb Savchenko
Gleb may not have a lot of luck when it comes to advancing on regular “Dancing With the Stars,” (he was the first pro voted out on the current season), but as a mentor on “Juniors,” he may finally get his first-ever win. That all comes from the celebrity kid who he is coaching. While Sage clearly has a significant background in dance, so does Mackenzie.
Not only is the teen a singer, but she was one of the featured stars of “Dance Moms,” alongside her famous sister, Maddie. Mackenzie was on the show for six years, and her ability to already dance is certainly going to give her a massive advantage over the other competitors. Her edge could be so great in fact, that she may just be the one who wins it all.
Miles Brown/Rylee Arnold/Lindsay Arnold
The “Black-ish” star has performing in his blood, and that’s a huge advantage he shares with a few other competitors. However, he also has a serious edge when it comes to who he was partnered with. Rylee Arnold is one of “DWTS” pro Lindsay Arnold’s sisters—all of whom are known for their skills. (Their sister, Jensen, recently finished as Runner-Up on Season 15 of “So You Think You Can Dance.”) Plus, Lindsay herself is serving as their mentor, which works significantly to their advantage because she is a recent Mirrorball Trophy winner.
Arianna Greenblatt/Artyon Celestine/Brandon Armstrong
Like Brown, Greenblatt is an actor, and she has done some extensive work in front of the camera before, which means she’ll be able to perform. In addition, Artyon is also someone with some impressive credits, including roles in “A Christmas Story Live!” and “Claws.” However, their biggest advantage without a doubt is their mentor, Brandon. Though he has only been promoted to a pro on “DWTS” recently, his first outing with singer Tinashe has shown that he doesn’t mess around when it comes to choreographing a stellar routine. If the mentors have an active role when it comes to how the junior teams move on stage, Arianna and Artyon will be the ones to beat.
Jason Maybaum/Eliana Walmsley/Emma Slater
Again, like his fellow competitors, Maybaum is an actor, which gives him that advantage, but his best bet could be the fact that he is paired with a “Dance Moms” alum. Like Mackenzie, Eliana comes from that Lifetime series, having been a part of the show during the 6th and 7th seasons. That is sure to be an advantage as the competition continues.
“Dancing With the Stars: Juniors” premieres Sunday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
