Description
This event tracks whether specific celebrities will advance to the final episode of a popular dance competition series during its upcoming season. Advancement is determined through a combination of audience voting and judges' assessments throughout the season. The outcome depends purely on whether these individuals secure a spot among the final contestants as officially announced by the show's producers.
Kalshi
A contestant qualifies for the finale if their advancement is officially announced through the program broadcast, the show's official website, verified social media channels, or press releases before the deadline of December 31, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. Qualification is confirmed regardless of whether the contestant later appears in the finale due to disqualification, removal, or withdrawal. Each contestant is evaluated individually, and multiple qualifiers resolve positively without dividing payouts. Only official announcements count; rumors, leaks, guest appearances, or temporary immunity do not qualify. If a contestant is eliminated, withdraws, or is disqualified before qualifying, the market resolves negatively. Should the season end or be canceled without official qualification announcements before the deadline, all markets resolve negatively. In the rare case of a contestant's death preventing participation, the market resolves to the last fair price determined by the exchange.
