After the semi-finals on November 16, 'The Bachelorette' star Kaitlyn Bristowe. ‘Six Feet Under’’ actress Justina Machado, rapper Nelly and the ‘Catfish’ host Nev Schulman’ have been sent to the finale based on judges score and votes by fans. 

When is the finale airing?

‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 29 finale will air on Monday, November 23 at 8 pm ET on ABC. At the end of the two-hour episode, one of the celebrity contestants and their pro-dancing partner will be declared the winner of the current season. 

Who could win Season 29 of 'Dancing With The Stars'?

With less than a week until the finale, several speculations surrounding the final winner are making rounds on social media. The competition is tight, undeniably and fans have already begun placing their bets on their favorite couple. Going by what is being discussed on Twitter, it appears as if Schulman is in the lead. Also, he has received the highest overall score this season and hasn’t been placed in the bottom two even once. 

One fan tweeted, "Team @NevSchulman and @JennaJohnson!! Hope they win the mirror ball trophy! #TeamBeNeevers #DWTS" Seconding the above tweet, another wrote, "Anyway, Nev & Jenna is in. They r my #1 pick to win #DWTS, followed by Kaitlyn & Artem (because Artem deserves a Mirror Ball trophy, after so many seasons...) Is Nelly going to be the next Bobby Bones? Err please...". another tweeted, "Here is my @DancingABC #DWTS finale prediction. This is only mine, you can agree or disagree but do not attack me: 1st-Nev and Jenna 2nd-Kaitlyn and Artem 3rd-Justina and Sasha 4th-Nelly and Daniella."

However, considering the fact that the reality show has previously surprised us with unexpected eliminations, there is a fair chance of other contestants winning the Mirror Ball Trophy. 

After Schulman and Jenna, Kaitlyn and Artem have found a place for themselves on the top of the rank chart with the highest scores. The couple got a full score in the semi-finals round.  If Kaitlyn wins the titles she'll be the second 'Bachelorette' star to take home the Mirror Ball Trophy after Hannah Brown in Season 28. 

One fan noted on Twitter, "I want Kaitlyn & Artem to win but I have to be honest, the best couple is Nev & Jenna #DWTS", another added, "Realistically it's between nev and Kaitlyn and I want Kaitlyn to win in that case. My prediction is Kaitlyn, nev, justina and Nelly. #DWTS" And one fan feels, "I’m very happy with the final 4 of #DWTS. I was honestly shocked Nelly made it & not Johnny though. Overall, happy with the finale contestants. I’m calling that either Kaitlyn or Nev win it all."

Justina on the other hand has been one of the most promising contestants on Season 29. Her performances have improved tremendously in the past few weeks and she also got a perfect 30 in the semi-finals round. She was the first celebrity contestant of the season to make it to the top of the judges' leaderboard in week one. However, only time can tell us if Justina can beat the rest of the three contestants for the coveted title. 

And we are left with Nelly, who has been in the bottom two a couple of times and neither is his overall score on par with the other contestants. However, having said that, it is important to note that Nelly has a huge fan following and it was their votes that saved him from elimination in the semi-finals. More and more of his fans are constantly rooting for his win on social media. Therefore, he could also be the winner of Season 29 to take home the trophy. 

One of Nelly's fans tweeted recently, "when they announced nelly and daniella first. my favorite duo ever! yay! #dwts". Another tweeted, "@Nelly_Mo rooting for you to win #dwts"
