Second place went to Ariana Madix from Vanderpump Rules, dancing with Pasha Pashkov. If you know Ariana’s reality TV history, you know she’s been through a lot of drama. But on the dance floor, she was pure grace.
She danced like she had something to prove—and she did. Each routine was a middle finger to her haters, wrapped in a beautiful foxtrot. Honestly, watching her was like rooting for the underdog who suddenly becomes the star quarterback.

Did she deserve to win? Many fans say yes. But in Dancing with the Stars, it’s not just about skill; it’s about story, personality, and that magical “it” factor. Xochitl had it all.
The Third-Place Charm
Landing in third was Charity Lawson, the Bachelorette star, with pro Artem Chigvintsev. Charity brought elegance and a whole lot of sparkle. She’s the kind of dancer who makes you wish you owned a ballgown.
Her contemporary routines were hauntingly beautiful. If you didn’t tear up at least once during her performances, you might be a robot. She proved that reality stars aren’t just drama magnets—they can be artists, too.
