The survival of the popular country radio host in the dance competition, despite limited skill or dance experience, is a miracle.

"I do not know dance, it's amazing for me to have gone so far, I have a bit of athleticism in me, but I've never really danced." ", said Bones at USA TODAY before Monday's final (8 EST / TVP). He relies on his partner Sharna Burgess for the technical skills: "I really rely on her."

Bones notes that each of his competitors in the final has received higher scores in judges throughout the season and has solid fan bases.
