Four teams remain in the finale of DWTS Season 30, who are all coming back to compete, but one face will be missing on the judging panel. Derek has been diagnosed with a breakthrough case of COVID-19. He's making a virtual appearance, but his sister, Julianne Hough, who is no stranger to the panel herself, will be filling in as a guest judge.

But what do the final teams look like? Dancer, actress, and fitness influencer Amanda Kloots, who is partnered with Alan Bersten, has been a frontrunner throughout this season. What else would one expect from a former Rockette? Amanda has had both an incredibly difficult and very inspiring two years.

After losing her husband, actor Nick Cordero, from COVID-19 in 2020, Amanda became someone who people turned to as a source of strength. In the face of immense tragedy, she chose to talk about joy and persevering. Amanda founded a digital fitness brand in 2020. In 2021, she became a co-host on The Talk and released a memoir.

Another frontrunner all season has been actor, singer, and dancer JoJo Siwa, who got her start on the reality series Dance Moms. Early in 2021, JoJo made headlines when she announced that she was a member of the LGBTQ+ community, later specifying that she is pansexual. The young star's appearance on DWTS is particularly noteworthy, as she and her partner, Jenna Johnson, are the first same-sex partnership on the show.

Basketball player Iman Shumpert and his partner Daniella Karagach have had a rougher time this season, to the point that Iman's wife, Teyana Taylor, has even spoken out about her husband's scores. Iman is no doubt a talented athlete, having won a championship ring during his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but it took him several weeks to find his footing.

Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby's appearance in the finale has been a cause for controversy for fans. Cody and his partner, Cheryl Burke, are the only team in the finale not to have gotten a perfect score even once all season, and their scores have generally been middle of the road. The former professional dancer got off to a difficult start in Season 30, having had COVID-19. He and Cheryl were judged on their rehearsal footage for Week 2 and danced virtually for Week 3.
