Dancing with the Stars season 31 awards the Mirrorball trophy to a new winning couple

LOS ANGELES — Another season comes to an end! The four finalists from season 31 of “Dancing with the Stars” took to the ballroom floor on Monday to perform two routines in hopes of winning the coveted mirror ball trophy.

Each couple performed a dance of salvation chosen by the judges.

Wayne Brady and Shangela were each assigned to the Quickstep; Charli D’Amelio, the jive; and Gabby Windey did the cha cha. After that, they had to come back for the always unforgettable free skate.

Rounding out the finale, all of the season’s eliminated contestants returned for another round of the ballroom. The show also paid tribute to retiring head judge Len Goodman and longtime dance pro Cheryl Burke, who has announced she is leaving the show, which she first joined in 2006.

In the end, it’s about who received the highest number of points from the jury and the most viewer votes. And believe it or not, two couples ended the season with perfect results! Yes, Len Goodman, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli gave both Charli D’Amelio and Gabby Windey not one, but two rounds of ten.

This meant that viewers had to choose the winning team.

Hosts Tyra Banks and Alfonso Ribeiro said this was the closest round of voting the show has seen. And that oh so tough mirror ball trophy goes to: Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas.
