“I love everyone in the cast. Everyone bonds so deeply that I would be happy with anyone winning. I love all of them,” the Pentatonix singer told People ahead of the Semifinals, before noting that he and his husband, Mark Hoying, were “the closest to Elaine.”
Mark, for his part, added, “Elaine, she holds a special place in our heart[s]. She’s our bestie.” Scott agreed, stating, “She has this, like, motherly energy that was just so heartwarming. But anyone.”

Leavitt’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives castmate was torn between two celebs when asked about her winner pick in an interview with Parade earlier this month. “I’ll be honest, I think it’s either Robert or Alix,” she revealed. “And I think the world sees that too.”

The Boy Meets World alum has been open about how she and Efron formed a sweet friendship on the show. “I am rooting for my boy, Dylan. He’s my guy. He’s been my guy since Day 1. We formed an alliance, truly, in New York, and we held true to it. And we text and strategize, and it’s hard because I love everyone that is left in this competition,” she shared on the November 6 episode of the Dancing With the Stars Official Podcast.
Fishel’s pick is a fitting one, as her pro partner, Pasha Pashkov, is married to Efron’s partner, Daniella Karagach. “I’ve loved everybody who’s come through these doors. But my boy, Dylan, and of course, my girl, Dani, they have my vote,” she added.
Andy Richter

On the November 13 episode of the show’s official podcast, Richter said it’s “so hard” to pick his top contender “because they’re all great.” However, the actor and comedian did gush over one of this season’s youngest finalists.
“I will say that Robert Irwin is sunshine personified. He’s just such a beautiful person and is so positive and so lovely and brings warmth and love and light everywhere he goes,” Richter said. “And he’s also a hell of a dancer. He’s like a world-class athlete, from jumping on crocodiles, I guess.”
Richter went on to state that he’d be “thrilled if anybody that’s left won,” adding, “It would be a beautiful story. It would be a deserving person, and I would cheer my head off for them.”
