Johnson, who is a two time Mirrorball trophy champ herself, stopped by Good Morning America today to dish on the stiff competitio n leading into the DWTS semi-final round. Not only are all dancers doing two dances but there will be a double elimination on tonight’s show as well. That is right by the end of the night the final three for season 22 of DWTS will be revealed.
Kym Johnson kind of predicted her DWTS final three choices today on GMA. The pro-dancer sat down with Lara Spencer and George Stephanopoulos to break down the competition for tonight. Although she said there is no actual clear front-runner leading into the semi-final round, she did have some thoughts on three of the top five dancers competing to make it the final round.

At the top of Kym’s list was GMA’s own Ginger Zee and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Although at first glance that might seem very interesting considering where the interview took place but anyone who has watched Ginger this season on DWTS knows she is amazing. Johnson was quick to praise the new mom for how far she has come this season.
“I think she’s everything Dancing with the Stars is all about. She hasn’t had dance experience, and I think from where she started to where she is now, she’s improved so much. I think she’s the most improved. I think we’re gonna see her in the final.”

Along with Ginger Zee making the DWTS finals, Kym Johnson also talked about fan favorite Nyle DiMarco. Johnson spoke about the dance Nyle is doing with his partner, Peta Murgatroyd, and remarked that he will blow people’s minds.
“Nyle, I have to say I saw his dance and he is doing something that is really going to surprise everyone. What I saw yesterday is going to blow your mind.”
Wanya Morris, who had a rough week last week, is also in contention for the final three, according to Kym. She talked about how he can recover from last week because of his determination.

“He is so determined. He started with such a bang when he came out that first week and he wants to end that way. He wants to come out on top. He is such a performer he is going to pull out such a great routine tonight.”
As fans already know, Wanya is at the bottom of the board right now and he will have to fight his way to the final three but Johnson thinks he has the goods to pull it off.
Kym Johnsons talked about the semi-finals for the DWTS and the final three on GMA today. She also pointed out that the pressure going into the semi-finals is much higher than going into the finals. It is a little ironic but she explained that it is worse because all teams are trying to get to the finals and really giving it their all, meaning all five couples will be bringing their A games tonight. Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas, as well as Antonio Brown and Sharna Burgess will join Ginger, Nyle and Wanya in the semi-finals tonight.
It is going to be one heck of a night as the fight to be in the DWTS finals begins. Kym Johnson predicts that even though it is anyone’s game, Wanya, Nyle and Ginger appear to be top contenders.
