Who Will Take ‘DWTS’ Season 34? An Ousted Contestant Reveals the Likely Winner
He may be out of the competition, but Dancing With the Stars professional dancer Gleb Savchenko is still at the center of fan debates after sharing his bold prediction for the winner of Season 34. The 41-year-old dancer, who was recently eliminated alongside celebrity partner Hilaria Baldwin, revealed his top contenders during the 2nd Annual GURUS Awards on October 12 — and his comments immediately ignited social media.
Savchenko, who exited the ballroom following the show’s Disney theme night, said he holds no grudges and remains proud of the season’s talent. “This year’s competition is so tough. Everyone is really good,” he said. “Even though we got eliminated, we’re still cheering for everyone. I just want everyone to enjoy the process — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
When asked about his predictions, Savchenko didn’t hesitate. “Should I call it right now? Robert [Irwin] is going to win,” he declared confidently. He praised Irwin’s charm, technical ability, and connection with fans, calling him “a great guy, good-looking, and one of the best dancers this season.”
He also listed Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, along with Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, as his other top picks for the finale. Within hours of the interview, fans flooded comment sections with both excitement and skepticism — turning Savchenko’s casual prediction into a full-blown fandom debate.
