After consistently impressing judges and fans with her athleticism, Chiles delivered two spectacular performances— a Jive to “Raspberry Beret” and an Argentine Tango to “U Got the Look”— scoring high in both. Despite the stiff competition, which saw the remaining six couples vying for only five spots, Chiles and Sosa delivered when it mattered most.
After earning a perfect 30/30 score on her Argentine Tango, the combined tally propelled her out of the danger zone. Chiles was one of the final two bound for elimination, along with Whitney Leavitt, but her and Ezra Sosa are officially heading to the highly anticipated Finals.
Here are the results from the “Dancing with the Stars” semifinals and who will be competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

How does Dancing with the Stars scoring work?
Dancing with the Stars employs a 50/50 scoring system, equally weighted between the judges’ scores and the audience vote.

The regular judging panel consists of Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli, who are joined by a weekly guest judge. Each of the four judges scores every performance on a scale of 1 to 10, meaning a maximum of 40 points is available for each dance. The couple’s total judge scores are converted into a percentage based on the cumulative points awarded by all judges throughout the night.
Audience votes received by a couple are converted into a percentage based on the night’s total audience vote count (the “Public Vote Percentage”). The Judge’s Score Percentage and the Public Vote Percentage are then added together to determine each couple’s final ranking for the week.
