This episode set a seven-year high for semifinals viewership, significantly outperforming the previous season. The show also experienced a surge in younger viewer engagement, marking its best delivery in that demographic in a decade.
The positive trend for this season began with its premiere, which was the biggest in five years and showed a substantial ratings increase. Fan participation also saw a dramatic rise, with voting numbers escalating each week throughout the season, culminating in a new high of 55.9 million votes during the Prince-themed episode.
The competition intensified with the shocking elimination of Whitney Carson and Mark Ballas, advancing Dylan Efron, Alix Earle, Elaine Hendrix, Robert Irwin, and Jordan Chiles to the finale. The upcoming finale on Tuesday, November 25, will feature the remaining five couples performing three distinct routines each, a first in the show's history.
