After one, five couples will compete for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy Dancing with the stars Season 33 in the middle of the . Witney Carson will be in attendance along with her dance partner and former NFL star Danny Amendola, who has shocked viewers a few times this season. Professional athletes are often great on the show, but how are they different from actors? Well, Carson spoke to CinemaBlend about whether that’s the case.

As we prepare for the three-hour finale, I was fortunate enough to speak with Witney Carson about a number of topics. Our conversation eventually turned to the difference between working with athletes and working with actors. She’s worked with both of them, and while I wondered what she’d rather do when she’s rolling around, she mentioned the big advantage of working with a man like Danny Amendola:

I can totally understand what Witney Carson is saying, especially after Danny Amendola spent a week at the top with a leaderboard-topping performance Dancing with the stars This time. He was great at pulling off incredibly difficult moves that an amateur shouldn’t be able to pull off, as this proves.

That’s not to say Amendola or NFL veteran Von Miller, who Witney Carson has worked with before, don’t have issues. Carson also told me about the downsides of working with an athlete and what they find harder to understand, for example did when he won with her in season 19:

I guess in retrospect it’s pretty obvious that an actor is better at performing a dance than the actual steps of a performance. Reginald Vel Johnson wowed people with his but it wasn’t the dance steps that wowed the audience. I don’t think Danny Amendola could have brought the same emotional energy to a dance where he essentially did nothing afterward, and that’s a credit to the acting.

With all that said, I’m excited to see if Witney Carson and Danny Amendola win and give the pro dancer her second Mirrorball win since joining DWTS. She came but told CinemaBlend she was more concerned with the quality of the performances than a win. Still, a win would be great and I’m sure there will be no shortage of spectators rooting for her and Danny Amendola on final night.

The Dancing with the stars The Season 33 finale airs Tuesday, November 26th at 8:00 pm ET on ABC and Disney+. I’m ready for a competitive night of dancing, and I think we may be in for one of the most unpredictable nights the show has seen in a long time.
