How to make and lock your weekly DWTS predictions

A good roster is only half the argument. Weekly predictions let you call the high score, the low score, the elimination and the perfect-score moment before the show begins.

Finish the draft, submit before the displayed broadcast deadline, then choose Ready to lock when your picks are final.

1. Open Predictions after your draft

Complete your roster first. Then open Predictions and check the episode and its broadcast deadline. Use the deadline displayed in your brawl, even if you plan to watch the episode later.

The screenshot shows Sequin Showdown’s open form after drafting. No predictions have been submitted in this example.

2. Make your calls

Choose from the eligible competing couples, including those on your rival’s roster or left undrafted. Your prediction choices are separate from your team.

  • Highest-scoring couple: +5 for a correct call.
  • Lowest-scoring couple: +3.
  • Elimination, including the no-elimination option when applicable: +5.
  • Whether there will be any perfect score: +2.
  • If you predict a perfect score, the first couple to receive one: +5.

3. Submit, then lock when you are sure

Submit saves your predictions. Check them carefully before choosing Ready to lock: that makes your own picks final immediately.

You can revise submitted picks while they remain unlocked and the deadline has not passed. Once locked, they cannot be changed, even if your rival is still deciding.

4. Compare when both sides are locked

Your rival’s calls stay hidden until both players lock or the broadcast deadline arrives. Players cannot reopen or extend that deadline.

Prediction points are scored from verified episode results. The Predictions standings show those points on their own; Overall combines them with your drafted team’s Main League points.

Common questions

Can I predict a couple I did not draft?

Yes. Predictions consider eligible competing couples across the cast, not just your own roster.

Can I change my picks after Ready to lock?

No. That action makes your own predictions final immediately.

Does watching later give me a later deadline?

No. The broadcast deadline applies to both players. Revealing results after you have watched is a separate choice.
