ABC/Eric McCandless Kaitlyn Bristowe, dancing with her partner Artem Chigvintsev, is a contestant on season 29 of ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ Finalist Kaitlyn Bristowe is hours away from finding out if she will take home the mirrorball trophy as the winner of Dancing with the Stars. For Bristowe, her time on the dancing competition is years in the making after she was pulled from the series immediately following her turn as Bachelorette. Fans of Bachelor Nation saw its longtime host, Chris Harrison, ask Bristowe if she wanted to join the season 29 cast of Dancing with the Stars during an appearance on The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons – Ever! “I have a very, very real question for you Kaitlyn, and this is a question I am so excited to ask you, because well, your life is about to change and I’m not joking,” said Harrison. “Kaitlyn, will you be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars?” Bristowe is among a long line of Bachelor Nation alums to compete on the show, including the original Bachelorette Trista Sutter and the most recent Bachelorette, Hannah Brown.

Since Week Two was the first elimination night of the season, their scores were combined with Week One, making the dancing duo tied for first place.
