Ezra Frech Surges to Top of Dancing With the Stars Season 35 Winner Odds
Ezra Frech has become the “one to beat”
Ezra Frech has emerged as the new frontrunner in the Dancing With the Stars Season 35 winner market after a strong second week in the ballroom.
The Paralympic track and field athlete is now priced at +170, giving him an implied probability of 37%, according to the latest Action Network Season 35 winner and elimination odds.
Frech’s rise comes after he tied for the top score during Week 2’s Viral Hits Night, where he and professional partner Daniella Karagach scored 21 out of 30 for their cha-cha.
The development represents a significant change from the beginning of the season, when several other contestants occupied the leading positions in the market.

Frech’s performance has also attracted attention beyond the odds. His Week 2 cha-cha with Daniella Karagach became one of the most notable routines of the episode.
The latest market figures should be viewed as a snapshot rather than a guarantee of the eventual result. Performances, judges’ scores and viewer voting can all change the picture as the season progresses.
Ezra Frech Makes Major Move After Week 2
Frech’s jump to the top of the market has been one of the biggest developments of Season 35 so far.
The 21-year-old Paralympic athlete performed a cha-cha with Karagach during Viral Hits Night, dancing to Flo Rida’s “Low.” Their routine earned 21 points and put them in a three-way tie at the top of the night’s leaderboard.
The result was particularly notable because Frech had already made an impression during the opening week.
His performances have combined his athletic background with the technical demands of ballroom dancing, while his partnership with Karagach has added another element to his growing profile.
The latest Action Network analysis points to Frech’s stage presence, athleticism and chemistry with Karagach as factors behind his rapid rise.

The market movement also demonstrates how quickly perceptions can change on Dancing With the Stars.
Jenna Dewan Remains Close Behind
Jenna Dewan sits second in the latest winner market at +567, representing an implied probability of 15%.
The actress and dancer entered the competition with an obvious dance background, particularly through her association with the Step Up franchise.
Dewan and professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy also scored 21 out of 30 during Week 2, putting them in the same three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard. Hollywood Reporter’s Week 2 recap
Her strong second-week showing has kept her among the leading names in the latest market.
Maura Higgins Continues to Attract Attention
Maura Higgins is third in the latest market at +614, carrying an implied probability of 14%.
The television personality and model has enjoyed a strong start to the competition with professional partner Mark Ballas.
Higgins’ Week 2 performance was part of a night in which the leaderboard remained tightly contested.
Her position is particularly notable because the market has changed considerably since the beginning of the season.
Tatyana Ali Leads Next Elimination Market
At the other end of the competition, Tatyana Ali currently has the highest implied probability of being eliminated next.
The actress and singer is priced at +122, equivalent to an implied probability of 45% in the latest market.
Ali’s position comes despite showing improvement during Week 2. She and professional partner Jan Ravnik scored 18 out of 30 for their foxtrot during Viral Hits Night. TVLine’s Week 2 recap
The latest Season 35 elimination results show how quickly the situation can change. Giada De Laurentiis and Alan Bersten, for example, were eliminated during Week 2 after receiving 12 out of 30 for their salsa.
Week 3 Could Change the Market Again
The next episode will feature Yacht Rock Night, with the remaining contestants taking on new dance styles and songs.
Frech and Karagach will perform a foxtrot, while Dewan and Chmerkovskiy will also be looking to build on their strong Week 2 showing.
Tatyana Ali will perform a quickstep with Jan Ravnik, while Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess are scheduled to perform a jive. Entertainment Weekly’s Week 3 dance guide
Those routines could influence how the market develops after the episode.

The latest figures therefore provide a snapshot of the competition rather than a definitive forecast.
Frech currently occupies the top position in the winner market, followed by Dewan, Higgins, Glenn and Shum Jr., while Ali, Cameron, Rodriguez, Miller and Hanson have the highest implied probabilities in the next-elimination market.
With 13 contestants remaining in Season 35, the competition is still developing and another strong performance could change the picture.
