Congratulations Daniel and Britt!

The pair quickly became fan favorites and were dubbed "Team Sign to Shine," being deemed an "inspiration" by Derek Hough for Daniel's representation for the deaf community. Their chemistry was immediately palpable as well, and fans particularly loved how quickly Britt took to sign language and adapting her routines to best fit her partner.

Many of their followers were eager to see their professional relationship turn into a professional one, especially after their elimination in the semi-finals in fifth place.
