San Diego, Calif. – November 19, 2018 – America, we know you are still processing this one. Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess really did win Season 27 of DWTS – ‘Dancing With The Stars’ It’s not clear how long it will take for the shock to wear off.
Country music radio personality Bones must be the most improbable winner in all 27 seasons. He is arguably the least skilled dancer to ever win, although he certainly improved over the course of 12 weeks.
Since the couple who should have won, Juan Pablo di Pace and Cheryl Burke, were eliminated last week after one of the best performances ever delivered on DWTS, did it really matter who won the Mirror Ball Trophy?

It mattered to the other three finalist couples, all of whom delivered wonderful final performances: Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten, Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe, and Milo Manheim and Witney Carson.
Perfect freestyle performances
On Monday night’s finale, the four remaining couples had one last night of competitive dancing to score extra judges’ points and viewers votes. The first was a repeat performance from a past DWTS dance. The couples enhanced one of their best dances from earlier in the season. Then all couples performed their anything goes, fan-favorite, freestyle routines.
