Dancing with the stars is about to announce the winner of the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, and I can’t wait. The 33^rd season of the reality dancing competition has aired on the 2024 TV show, and last week in a shocking twist, they announced the final five, marking another exciting moment in this eventful season. Now the remaining couples have completed their final rehearsals for tonight’s finale, and Ilona Maher’s post made me realize how quickly time has flown by.

It’s hard to believe that after that DWTS Season 33 premiered in September, and it’s already time to determine who will take home the trophy. During final rehearsals on Monday, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher shared an Instagram video with partner Alan Bersten with the caption: “Missing us maybe as much as you do.” Meanwhile, the video’s caption reads, “If you only have one more day together,” as the two embrace while a sound hinting at a 20-minute flight plays in the background:

Maher and Bersten have certainly become fan favorites throughout the season, especially when she scored big with her Encanto performance on Disney Night. And it was a joy to watch her grow as a dancer.

Now I can’t wait to see their latest performances, especially their freestyle. But knowing that this will be the last time we see them in the ballroom together makes me emotional. Especially after Maher posted another Instagram video with a compilation of clips from her and Alan’s time DWTSthanking her partner for everything:

But the emotions don’t stop there, because everyone is there Dancing with the stars has been hard at work during their last dances. Despite going against each other in recent weeks, the couples are still all having fun with each other, as proven by the official DWTS Instagram, which posted a photo of the last five on the last day of rehearsals:

It feels like just yesterday Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik was announced as the first celebrity for season 33. Now he’s preparing for the finals with partner Rylee Arnold, who will be riding in her first final as a pro. In an Instagram clip posted by DWTSthe two shared sweet final messages with each other, and I’m not crying; you cry:

Between Nedoroscik, Maher, and more, this cast is pretty special, and it’s going to be hard to pick just one couple to win the Mirrorball. At this point, it could still go to anyone, and you better believe I’ll be tuning in for the final moments of this journey that has flown by.

To see the final step in this competition, tune in Dancing with the stars at 8pm ET on ABC or you can stream it live with a Disney+ subscription. By the end of the evening, the final recipient of the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy will finally be announced, and you better believe I’ll be as emotional and reflective as all the dancers participating.
