[@safahmie]

How is there no list for Len Goodman and his remarks "Judging". He was cleverly mean and nice and no list for that with his death. Seems odd.

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

A lots of Dancing With The Stars winners!

[@jayjanzee9059]

Definitely Nyle DiMarco

[@cindysmith2858]

I wish they would have another all stars season.

[@Tankdogg18k]

I saw Charli at #18 and couldn't take this list seriously. That girl is so good she could be the first celeb on the show to turn pro. Sorry, y'all high.

[@user-iq6br5or7t]

Nope. Kristi and Nicole were the first ones.

[@yatithebeast]

I think we need a list for the best runner-ups who should have won, like Mel B, Zendaya, Gilles Marini, and Corbin Bleu just to name a few

[@larisalynnortiz8979]

I second this!

[@Scottwilkie18]

Top 10 or celebrities that should’ve won dancing with the stars but we’re screwed over Totally agree with you with Corbin being screwed over and Zendaya Sob stories and cult followings

[@juliequinn311]

Add Milo Manheim to the list!

[@jbland7737]

Nah Zendaya should not have won lol. Kelli Pickler earned her win that season. But you are spot on about Mel B.

[@aysegulyenilmez5294]

Absolutely. And I want add a more name to the list Jason Mraz

[@emerysays]

Charlie, Jordan, and Nicole should be so much higher on this list.

[@jaivionparks3041]

Unpopular opinion Charli and Jordan are in my top 3

[@TheWhiteRabbit727]

Charli was Already a trained dancer and has one of the largest social media followings on the planet. I absolutely loved watching her but she shouldn't even be on this list. She could have just stood still every single dance and would have won.

[@jaivionparks3041]

@@TheWhiteRabbit727 she’s still one of the best dancer’s to be on the show

[@emerysays]

@@jaivionparks3041 that’s what I’m saying! She’s made every dance dynamic. I watch all her dances on a regular basis

[@TheWhiteRabbit727]

@@jaivionparks3041 for sure, but this is a list of the best winners, not the best dancers. Being a Very-Clearly-Rigged-To-Win Winner doesn't make you a Good winner.

[@kunzitecarrie1055]

Meryl and Maks will ALWAYS be my favorites!!!!!!!!!!

[@lidiabenavente351]

Me too meryl was not only the best winner in dwts history but she was a sweet heart as well

[@marychristinengomba]

Me too

[@bradb4473]

I first seriously started watching DWTS on Amber Riley’s season. I still remember how happy I was to see her take it all.

[@bennymora3086]

Good!👍🏼

[@larisalynnortiz8979]

She was phenomenal!!

[@imarock8763]

It was an amazing season and her win was well deserved!!

[@moonlightkayla4903]

charli statistically ranks in the, i believe, top 3 best dancing with the stars contestants ever, justice for her ranking on this list!!

[@lidiabenavente351]

Its not that big of a deal charli will live maybe the fact that she was already a dancer and had a lot of training affected her ranking

[@Animeguy300]

Rest in Peace len he will be forever missed

[@lchanceiv]

Please do a best runners up list. Neev was robbed!

[@disneygurll]

So was milo manheim

[@lchanceiv]

[@MSABC991]

Yes I would love this list my brain immediately goes to Zendaya and Corbin Bleu for their respective season 16 and 17

[@lchanceiv]

@@MSABC991 yes and yes

[@carolinaurena7338]

Yes!

[@syedalihasan8923]

How is Charli at 18!!!! I felt she should have at least made the top 10!

[@charlestoti2252]

Charli is a top 5 winners

[@lidiabenavente351]

Probably because she was already a dancer and had the most followers so she was of course gonna win don't get me wrong she was epic tho

[@kimberlylusk9623]

@@lidiabenavente351I hear you but multiple of these other dancers had dancing experience as well. Nicole, Alfonso, Jordan, Laurie, and a couple others. I understand having dance experience can give an advantage but so can being a professional Ice skater/ winning champions for ice dancing (Meryl Davis). That's the only reason I'm surprised she's so low. If this list was only contestant that didn't have dance experience or " advantages" then I'd understand but multiple people had dance experience so I don't believe that was a factor. :)

[@Hskdl-j2m]

It might be because of Mark's genial choreography but i liked her performances the most actually. She also doesn't have as extensive experience as many others like Zendaya.

[@Kimdone365]

She is the most annoying fucking winner ever. BLAND, empty personality that pretended like she was something special. Please.

[@StormCat3PC]

Well, I have to say that my top four favorites for me are Donny Osmond, Jennifer Gray, Bindi, Irwin, and Rumer Willis. Now in a different category, the athletes that won Kristi Yamaguchi Meryl Davis and Apolo, Anton Ohno. I can watch their shows dances over and over again.

[@sarahseifert8516]

Putting Meryl and Maks at 2 in comparison to who you chose at 1 is just crazy

[@lidiabenavente351]

Exactly meryl is the best dancer the show has ever had

[@squiviak5638]

This is a pretty solid list, but I would argue that Meryl takes the number 1 spot.

[@jbland7737]

Season 30 will always be my favorite season. Iman and Danielle were magical. And the fact that they were the major underdogs, and still won just made the whole season worth while. I will never forget the joy i felt when they were announced season 30 champions!!!!!👌👌

[@lidiabenavente351]

Soo true and the fact they went from a 4 to a 10

[@gcool6707]

His win was rigged and their one good dance doesn’t make up for their 10 awful ones

[@synystergrl9270]

I stopped watching A LONG time ago but my favorites back then were Jennifer Grey (I grew up in the 80's and I mean come on she was AMAZING) and Hines Ward (Steelers fan but he did amazing too). I also liked Chelsea Kane.

[@thereallg4587]

*Sorry not sorry, but I can’t take DWTS serious anymore. That ice skater dude was right, it is a popularity contest. This season proves it. Thank goodness the swifties were on my side and everyone else who wanted Harry jowsey off of Taylor swift night.*

[@mymylauren]

It’s always been that way .

[@thereallg4587]

@@mymylauren oh I know. But I hate how they made is so obvious this season. It should’ve ended when Len died.

[@marshaloiscamillephilpotts6406]

​@@thereallg4587There is no reason for Dancing With The Stars to end because of the death of Len Goodman plus Strictly Come Dancing on the BBC in England is still going on and Len was also a judge on that too.

[@marshaloiscamillephilpotts6406]

​@@thereallg4587This season is one of most competitive seasons in the history of the series and any couple can win and Len Goodman a good of judge as he was isn't the determining factor of who wins the competition the viewers are and I am fine with that.

[@syedalihasan8923]

Loved Nicole but I also kinda wish Evan and Anna could have won, Anna deserved a mirrorball trophy! Would love for her to come back again to the show! She said she would if asked!

[@ScottB-d8b]

THE best dwts winner will always be Rumor Willis! She also is the hottest winner, the classiest winner and the most perfect winner!

[@alexandrarose982]

amber is an icon she proved that thick girls can do amazing things on dwts too

[@pw3624]

I didn't watch every season but of the seasons I did watch, my favorites are Charli D'Amelio, Donny Osmond, Rumer Willis, Melissa Rycroft, and Alfonso Ribeiro.

[@abisolaakano4718]

Amber Riley will always be my favourite ❤

[@radiotimthomas]

Not a surprise that many in the Top Ten are all teamed with Derek Hough

[@alana.g12]

BINDI WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE! But I love all of them!!! All VERY GOOD dancers ✨✨ loved the video! ❤

[@charlestoti2252]

Kristi, Nicole and Charli are top 10 winners

[@alexandrarose982]

if there’s controversy on meryl davis inclusion charli was straight up unfair i mean she deserved that win but she was too much better than everyone else but she is now probably the best winner to be on the show

[@sofiagubbins7497]

Charli should be higher

[@kristenwhite2701]

My favorite winner was Helio Castroneves - the 4 time Indy 500 winner. Probably best remembered for his banana suit.

[@phoenixrising8231]

Meryl is number 1.

[@dionnacl]

THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING BOBBY BONES IN THIS COUNTDOWN

[@michelle19000]

Why not?

[@phyllisbarthelemy9653]

Right!!!! Ugg!!!

[@aly8950]

Rumer Willis is a seriously underrated winner but I’m glad she won. She was definitely the powerhouse in season 20.

[@kaitotingz9616]

jordan not making top 3 told me all i needed to know about this list

[@laurenmontera9516]

Donny Osmond, Bindi and Nile weremy favorite winners so far.

[@Scottwilkie18]

Alfonso and Donny

[@lindawauters6382]

Meryl

[@roxy5588]

Laurie Hernendez will always be my favourite.

[@KrisP1995]

How is Laurie not in the top five? SHE WAS AMAZING!

[@zbotello1439]

They should do it next, it would be a great watch

[@kehem.me123]

Charli and mark will always be on top. Nothing beats their dances and friendship

[@Chloe-jx8by]

I love me some Mak’s and Cheryl. But I will say I don’t think I have seen the perfect mix of creative impeccable choreography and talent and impeccable costuming like Charlie and mark. They are incredible

[@nielchristiancollantes1999]

I def agree with Nyle being #1. 😍

[@samuelcollantes1175]

I haven't watched this show personally, but, they deserve to be called "the best" for a reason. Happy tuesday, Emely, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@lisaheberling3860]

How DARE you put Meryl in number 2!!!! She is number 1!!!

[@ainsleyplauche5333]

Charlie not being number 1 is criminal

[@lesilemccravy5172]

I agree iman was one of the best 2:28 she was good 👍🏻 13:31 he was good to

[@tessa5233]

Jordans freestyle is still my favorite i love it so much❤

[@sharikajeter3612]

Nyle at #1, good choice. He was amazing. You would never guess that he couldn't hear the music. He and Peta were great together. I agree with some on the list, but not all. Especially the ranking. Why didn't Rashad or Helio not make the cut? They were a few of my faves.

[@TherealShellbeat]

Nile will always be my favorite

[@IvanMejia1991]

Meryl Davis is the best winner so far.

[@scottnewcombe3728]

The fact that Charlie isn't #1 on this list is mind-boggling!

[@rettathomas837]

I stop looking at it a long time ago, Because sometimes, the popular people won, not the best dancer

[@joshuakincaid8238]

You can now add Xochitl Gomez to this list ! Im so glad she won. It will be interesting to see who wins this year in season 33

[@marshaloiscamillephilpotts6406]

All the persons on this list deserves to win Dancing With The Stars and others who won shouldn't have won but it is because they were popular and well-liked is why they won and I don't want DWTS to ever change and I always will be fine that viewer votes is the reason a star wins.

[@carolinaurena7338]

Nyle ♥️

[@danielbautista4757]

Bobby jones has no business being in the top 8

[@joshuakincaid8238]

I'm so glad you made this list, including charli , but I don't know why she wasn't higher on the list. Also , wouldn't you say it was hers to win. Not lose

[@midget4581]

We dont have it over here but like to watch videos from dwts especially with Derek Hough….think i heard his name and mark the most in the video👍👍

[@carolinaurena7338]

LOVE the #1 choice ♥️

[@terricunningham6810]

my 2 thoughts were Kellie Pickler and Donny Osmond.

[@randomperson8313]

Justice for Charli she was the best to ever do this show and yes people for the 29282828th time I know she has dance experience still have my stance.

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these Dancing With The Stars winners!

[@Newkids33]

Amber Riley Jennifer Grey Alfonso Riberio Nyle DiMarco are my favorite winners to watch my sister has never seen Dirty Dancing so we're watching it

[@wilhelmina8843]

17:54 Meryl was a great ice dancer but she didn’t dance like this. And not the same chemistry. She came alive here (No disrespect to her ice dance partner Charlie White). That Latch finale was amazing. I almost never like amateurs doing modern dance but this one was amazing. I know it seems unfair that they allowed an ice dancer to compete but I promise you that a lot of ice dancers really aren’t all that great at floor dancing.

[@safahmie]

Ok so i just learned Len passed away this April and i looked to see if mojo made a list about him and his remarks. I know he was brutal and nice in unique ways

[@rosee7011]

I just started watching this year when I heard Stephen Nedoroscik was going to be on. I can't believe it's been on for so long. Now I have a long list of contestants to keep me occupied until his next performance. I would like to see more musicians on the show. They dance when they perform and sing, so why not?

[@StillNatty]

Two of my all time fave winners are Bindi Irwin and Kellie Pickler ❤

[@ThePinkDragon]

Donny was great

[@sophieclarp]

I totally disagree with this list Jordan and Nicole should have been way higher and Charlie should be at number 1

[@knighthawkefamily]

Where is Helio Castroneves? I thought he was a standout when he won.

[@gracefullyrachel6573]

Zendaya was robbed she had one of the best jives I’ve seen on this show

[@ThePinkDragon]

Zenda was robbed

[@TherealShellbeat]

AT THE END I WAS WHERE IS NILE but then at then I was so relieved

[@danielz2491]

Meryl & Maks and Nicole & Derek should be at the head of the pack for both the Heat they brought as well as Poetry, Athleticism ... and you're probably tired of reading this one but ..... Gilles should have won ...but the one they should bring back and screwed up on her "handling" was Charity Lawson - That "Redemption Tango" they had her dancing in more fabric than my dining room drapes ... then they stacked that dry ice smoke on top of it ... and then gave her that subdued lighting ... It was f'ing RIDICULOUS ! ... What were they trying to do - put her in the FBI Witness Protection Program ? ...

[@SadisticPS5]

Main reason i started watching was when bindi was in it

[@lindamyers951]

Mark and Charlie definitely top 1 Way ahead of Max with gymnast Or Val with gymnast

[@peggyfranklin715]

I vote for Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas for the #1 spot

[@tammylynnbeatricedoyle4500]

Iman ❤🎉

[@cajayson8301]

Nicole S and Jennifer Grey should not have even competed on the series as both had dancing experience.

[@Rockin_Reese]

They should have & they did. If they were banned from the show, it would have been 2 of the dumbest decisions in DWTS history.

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

All I will say is Justice for Stacy keibler

[@Rockin_Reese]

As much as I loved Stacy, when I saw her freestyle, I was like "Tony, why did you not watch Stacy in WCW or WWE? Stacy, why didn't you show him some clips of you dancing in WCW & WWE?" They practically handed the mirrorball to Drew Lachey & Cheryl, even though Drew/Cheryl rocked the floor with their freestyle.

[@marieangels6]

Donny should be higher. And Melissa DEFINITELY needs to be higher

[@chloecondlin2252]

i think xoixchi gomez should be on the list! she was electric!!!!

[@jammifortson1702]

I think the all star season showed us who were actually good as Emmitt and Apollo did not live up to the hype when against stiffer competition

Considering they finished fourth and fifth amongst all the all star dancers in the All Star DTWS Edition, I respectfully disagree with you.
