Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars debuted in the 2025 TV schedule with a new crop of celebrity dancers as well as both new and returning pro dance partners. Corey Feldman and Baron Davis were the first two celebrities to be eliminated this season by failing to get enough fan votes, but fans are definitely coming through with voting overall. The show (available streaming with a Hulu subscription and Disney+ subscription) has already set new records with votes, and the audience growth from the first week to the second week is better than DWTS had experienced in over a decade.
Still, it turns out that only one performer from Season 34 has broken 1 million views on YouTube at the time of writing, and the runner up isn’t even close to matching him. Bobby Bones may have proved in Season 27 that you don’t have to be the best dancer to win Dancing with the Stars, and my favorite from the live Season 34 premiere has endured so far despite low scores from the judges, with Andy Richter holding on to high hopes to stick around. In theory, it's still anybody's game, but one star seemingly has an advantage so far.
