DWTS' Fans Root for Artem Chigvintsev to Win Mirrorball Trophy with Partner Kaitlyn Bristowe
"Dancing With the Stars" fans were left speechless by Artem Chigvintsev and Kaitlyn Bristowe's breathtaking performance last week, and many took to Instagram, commenting that the couple should be crowned the winner of this season.
With season 29 of "Dancing With the Stars" getting closer to the grand finale, fans and viewers are rooting for their favorite dancers on the show. Last week saw several dance performances during the "Icons Night," but most notable was the remarkable performance by Artem Chigvintsev and his celebrity partner Kaitlyn Bristowe.
Taking to their official Instagram page, ABC shared a snippet of the couple's dance performance, and fans were quick to air their thoughts in the comments section.

One user described their dance as the best for the night, while another noted that even though he was not a fan of Bristowe, their performance was indeed the best for the night. Another user wrote:
"WINNERS Artem deserves this!!!"
A user also commented that whenever Bristowe puts on more facial expressions, she can easily pass for a professional dancer. Interestingly, Chigvintsev and Bristowe have recorded low scores from judges over the past ten weeks. Week after week, fans criticized judges for being too harsh on the couple, but things took a turn this past week.
Chigvintsev first made his debut as a pro dancer on "Dancing With the Stars" in season 19 but was absent last year.
For their performance last week, Bristowe and Chigvintsev earned a perfect score of 30 points, and this seemed more than enough to convince fans that they are deserving to be crowned this season's winners. Fans believe the couple has proved their talent over the weeks and think Chigvinstev's dedication to his partner should be considered.
Viewers are, however, not the only one hoping Chigvintsev wins the trophy this season. In September, the pro dancer joked that the only thing missing from his son Matteo's room is the mirrorball.

Chigvintsev's comment came as no surprise, seeing that Matteo is already his dad's biggest fan. The tiny tot was once pictured rocking an adorable mirrorball onesie.
The dancer is a father to a three-month-old son whom he shares with Nikki Bella. Chigvintsev met the athlete in 2016 while they were paired together on "Dancing With the Stars."
