During the finale, Ariana and Pasha received a 29/30 for their Samba and a perfect 30/30 for their Freestyle. They secured plenty of votes from fans, but ultimately finished in third place. Singer Jason Mraz and Daniella Karagach were the runners-up while actress Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy took home the Mirrorball Trophy.

But at the end of the day, Ariana learned quite a bit about herself and rediscovered her confidence. She didn’t win first place, but she had a wonderful journey of self-discovery.
