Broadway star Jordan Fisher may have been the best dancer throughout the season, and he was heavily favoured to win the coveted Mirrorball trophy, but it wasn’t easy. The final decision was actually out of the judges hands, and came down to America’s vote.
Both Jordan and YouTube violinist Lindsey Stirling finished with a perfect score after the judges finished their voting, while Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz finished two points shy of perfection. That left Muniz in third place, while America voted Jordan to the win.
Really though, was it very surprising that the best dancer week after week won? He averaged nearly 28 points out of 30 every week, and was a favourite from the start for his love of musical theatre and dance. To win he earned perfect scores for a salsa/paso fusion, and repeated his samba from earlier in the season that earned him rave reviews. Some called him the best male performer in the history of the show, and even if he wasn’t, there hasn’t been anyone as close to perfection as he was in a long time. Fisher will now head back to Broadway where he will assume the roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in Hamilton. And in case you were wondering, his dance partner Lindsay Arnold finally won a trophy after ten seasons on the series.
