The finale will see three couples battling it out: Filip Gurłacz with his partner Agnieszka Kaczorowska, Marysia Jeleniewska paired with Jacek Jeschke, and Adrianna Borek alongside Albert Kosiński. The semi-final episode, aired on May 4, 2025, revealed these finalists, each of whom has impressed viewers and judges alike throughout the season.
Filip Gurłacz, a 35-year-old actor, has emerged as a standout competitor this season. Since the first episode, he has shown remarkable talent on the dance floor, often receiving the highest scores from the judges. His partnership with Kaczorowska has been particularly noteworthy, as they have developed a strong chemistry that resonates with audiences. "I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot with my partner," Gurłacz expressed, highlighting the supportive dynamic they have created together.
Kaczorowska, who has returned to the show after a previous absence, has described her experience as transformative. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she remarked, "Returning to dance… feels like coming home. Dance has lifted me and saved me, providing a space to release many emotions and allowing my heart to scream as loudly as it wants." Her words reflect the depth of her connection to the art form and the personal growth she has experienced during the competition.
As the finale approaches, both Gurłacz and Kaczorowska have shared their emotions regarding the culmination of their journey. "All the emotions are with us, from joy and excitement to nostalgia and sadness because something is coming to an end," Gurłacz shared in a recent interview. He acknowledged the significant role Kaczorowska has played in his success, stating, "I didn’t plan to dance my way to the finals, but here we are, thanks to our teamwork and her guidance."
Kaczorowska echoed these sentiments, admitting she had initial fears about returning to the show. "I was worried about how I would be received, but everyone welcomed me with open arms. I’m proud and happy to be here, especially with such a talented partner," she said, underscoring her gratitude for the support she has received.
The final will not only showcase the competing couples but also feature a special performance by previously eliminated pairs.

Additionally, the renowned singer Kayah will perform alongside Dawid Kwiatkowski, promising a star-studded finale.
With the stakes high, the winning couple will take home 100,000 PLN, while the professional dancer will receive 50,000 PLN. Gurłacz has expressed a heartfelt desire to use any winnings to build a home for his family, emphasizing the importance of creating a warm and loving environment for his two sons, Michał and Józef. "I’m a simple guy from Podlasie, and I just want a little house in a nice, quiet place where my boys can have their own rooms," he shared.
Kaczorowska, too, is at a crossroads in her life, seeking a new place to live and a fresh start both personally and professionally. "It’s incredible how our dreams align; I also need a new space in my life," she said, reflecting on the changes she is undergoing.
As the finale draws near, the excitement is palpable. Fans are buzzing with predictions about who will take home the Crystal Ball. Will it be the dynamic duo of Gurłacz and Kaczorowska, or will Jeleniewska and Jeschke or Borek and Kosiński steal the spotlight? Only time will tell.
