Dancing With the Stars closes out its 33rd season with a super-sized finale on Tuesday spanning a whopping three hours long.
Fans were stunned last week when none of the top five contestants were eliminated - Chandler Kinney, Ilona Maher, Danny Amendola, Joey Graziadei and Stephen Nedoroscik - were eliminated.
The finale will also feature special performances from Mark Ballas and Derek Hough along with the stars' final performances.
With strong fan support for many of the five finalists, it's certainly anyone's guess who will win this year's Mirrorball Trophy.
You can follow along with all of the action on on our Dancing With the Stars live blog below.
