There鈥檚 a new winner on the reality program 鈥淒ancing With the Stars.鈥澛�

Nyle DiMarco, the first deaf winner of the reality competition 鈥淎merica鈥檚 Next Top Model,鈥� won the newest season of the ABC program 鈥淒ancing鈥� along with his professional dancer partner, Peta Murgatroyd.聽

Martial artist Paige VanZant and her partner Mark Ballas received second place in the competition, while Ginger Zee of ABC鈥檚 鈥淕ood Morning America鈥� and her partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy came in third.

Prior to winning, Mr. DiMarco and Ms. Murgatroyd performed a cha-cha-cha/tango dance that received a perfect score from the judges. (Ms. VanZant and Mr. Ballas鈥檚 salsa/jive routine also received a perfect score from the judges.)

鈥淒ancing鈥� wasn鈥檛 the only reality competition that announced a new champion on May 24. The NBC singing reality competition 鈥淭he Voice鈥� also aired its season finale that same night.

The two shows follow a similar model, with both airing a fall and spring season, and next season will see them continue to face off, with ABC and NBC having announced that both 鈥淒ancing鈥� and 鈥淰oice鈥� will each be airing on Mondays at 8 p.m.聽

On the most recent episodes of the shows 鈥� both of which were the first parts of the 鈥淒ancing鈥� and 鈥淰oice鈥� finales 鈥� 鈥淰oice鈥� drew more viewers 18-49, a valued demographic, than 鈥淒ancing,鈥� but 鈥淒ancing鈥� attracted more viewers total than the NBC reality competition.聽

The story for these shows was the same last year, too 鈥� according to , 鈥淭he Voice鈥� was more popular with that younger demographic of viewers than in total viewers, while 鈥淒ancing鈥� was far further down in the ratings for viewers 18-49 than for total viewers.聽

One thing that has changed, though? As noted by , the first part of the 鈥淰oice鈥� season finale attracted lower ratings than in the past. 鈥淭he performance finale was also down sharply from both last season 鈥� and a year ago,鈥� Mr. Mitovitch wrote.

We鈥檒l see next season how 鈥淰oice鈥� performs against its rival 鈥淒ancing.鈥�
