Compare active Dancing with the Stars couples, their judges’ scores and editorial Power Index.
Publication updatedOur editorial comparison index uses 45% judges’ scores and momentum, 25% Kalshi winner market odds, 15% pro partner Mirrorballs, and 15% social follower reach. Followers are a proxy for audience reach; they do not measure votes, and accounts may overlap. We have not validated this index against past outcomes. It is not a win probability or an official standing. Values are rounded; small differences should not be treated as meaningful.
