Alix Earle’s Dancing With The Stars journey is on its final lap, as the content creator and SI Swimsuit digital cover model prepares for the Season 34 finale next Tuesday, Nov. 25. However, following the penultimate episode of the nearly three-month-long competition, the 24-year-old New Jersey native took to social media to reflect on her growth throughout its 11 weeks on-air.

While taking off her makeup, Earle began by discussing the show’s “Prince Night.” Alongside her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, the pair performed an Argentine Tango set to “Little Red Corvette” and a Viennese Waltz to “Purple Rain” as a tribute to the legendary artist. They finished the night with a total score of 58/60.

“I just didn’t know if tonight was gonna be our last time dancing together," Earle told her followers on TikTok and Instagram. She continued, “I feel like there’s still so much more I want to do and try.” The duo survived elimination and will perform a trio of new routines for the competition’s three-hour finale. One of those routines will be a brand new style, which Chmerkovskiy revealed will be a samba.

However, before she returned to the ballroom, Earle took a moment of gratitude for her experience on the long-time competition show, which she deemed a “dream of a lifetime.”

Earle explained, “This Dancing with the Stars journey has truly just changed my life. Like, I am gonna come out of this such a different person than I was going in. I think it’s been the best thing for me that I could have ever done.” The model continued, “After week one, I mean, I just didn’t know how far I would make it in this, but I knew I was going to give it my all and try my hardest and just dedicate this time to dance, and we somehow got to the finale. And the hard work is not stopping now.”

Earle and Chmerkovskiy will compete against fellow finalist celebrity contestants, Robert Irwin, Dylan Efron, Elaine Hendrix and SI Swimsuit cover girl, Jordan Chiles—and their respective professional partners—for the Mirror Ball Trophy when the DWTS finale debuts on ABC and Disney+ (next day on Hulu) on Nov. 25 at 8 p.m. ET.

And for the viewers who have rooted for Earle and Chmerkovskiy along the way, the content creator left a message in the candid video that expressed her appreciation: “I just wanted to say thank you guys for voting and giving us here. I will not let you down.”
