If Chandler hadn’t finished third I would be completely satisfied with the result,” says Gold Derby editor Daniel Montgomery about the finale of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 33, when Joey Graziadei became the first male “Bachelor Nation” celeb to win the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy. He overtook Ilona Maher in second place, Chandler Kinney in third, Stephen Nedoroscik in fourth, and Danny Amendola in fifth.

Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars was everything I had hoped for. We were introduced to a special group of people and couples this season of the dance competition series.

The competition on Dancing With The Stars was especially fierce this year. Fans felt incredibly passionate about their favorite contestants and campaigned for them online. But as always, only one competing couple could win.

DWTS Fans Are Tired Of Bachelor Nation Contestants Winning

Over the course of 33 seasons, several members of Bachelor Nation competed for the Mirrorball Trophy. They don’t always win, but over the past few years, there have been several champions from the fandom. Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe won Seasons 28 and 29 respectively.

In addition to scoring...

Dancing With The Stars has brought extreme entertainment to our television screens for the past 19 years. The reason why this show has succeeded for almost two decades is because they know how to bring entertainment, star power, the best of the best professional dancers, and fan-favorite stars. Season 33 was a fantastic season and made me genuinely fall in love with almost every couple, especially Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson and Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten. There were countless wholesome moments to come out of this season, but there was one factor missing: the drama. This show used to have dramatic moments, especially when the couples had access to the confessionals.

Dancing with the Stars threw in a surprise twist during its grand finale. The Bachelor alum Joey Graziadei and his dance partner, Jenna Johnson, won the Mirror Ball Trophy. Season 33 is finally over. It was a season filled with budding showmances, controversial contestants, and jaw-dropping moments. The finale was no different. Fans are still digesting the final result. Most took to social media to react.

Season 33 Surprise Final

DWTS aired a three-hour finale that pulled all the stops. In the final moments of Tuesday’s episode, host Alfonso Ribeiro revealed who won the coveted Len Goodman trophy. But first, he revealed which couples ended up in the fifth and fourth spots, respectively.

NFL star Danny Amendola and his partner Witney Carson were placed in number five. Meanwhile, Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik and his dance partner Rylee Arnold ended up in fourth place. The next reveal shocked everyone.

Former Disney Channel star...

The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei just won DWTS, and as he looked ahead to Kelsey Anderson possibly competing someday, he ended up taking a dig at her. Joey partnered with Jenna Johnson as they danced their way to the win during Dancing With The Stars season 33. They started off strong, tying for third place, then tying for second place in week 2. Joey and Jenna finally received the highest score during week 3 night 2. From there, they remained one of the frontrunners and ended up beating Ilona Maher, Chandler Kinney, Stephen Nedoroscik and Danny Amendola in the finals.

The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei wants to see Kelsey Anderson compete on DWTS, but when predicting how well she'd perform, he ended up insulting his fiance.

Now that there’s a new Mirrorball Champion, fans are incredibly excited about the upcoming DWTS 2025 tour. The performers have just enough time to celebrate the holidays with loved ones, but then training and rehearsals begin for the winter tour.

Read on to see what eager fans can expect to see in the new year.

The DWTS 2025 Tour Kicks Off In January

Every fall, DWTS fans enjoy watching their favorite celebrities and professional dancers compete for the highly-coveted Mirrorball Trophy. But experiencing the tour in person is an entirely different experience.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2025 tour and the cast and crew can’t wait to welcome their adoring fans into the ballroom.

“Dancing With The Stars is massively popular with millions of fans watching our TV show each week, yet so few are able to come to Hollywood and secure a coveted seat in our live studio audience,...

It was finally time for the Dancing With the Stars season 33 finale and crowning a winner of the Mirrorball trophy has never been so difficult. All of the celebrities this year have been incredible and the five remaining couples all brought something unique to the dance floor. In the end, only one could win.

There were two dances performed, which included a redemption routine and then a freestyle round. In essence, the redemption dance gave the celebrities a chance to redo a challenging dance from one of the previous weeks.

The night started off with the judges recapping the best aspects of each of the celebrity finalists, including their personality, dance styles, and how they have grown as dancers. Then when the show began, the couples did a redemption dance.

What routines did the five finalists perform and how did they do?

Stephen and Rylee’s dance was the Quickstep...

Carrie Ann Inaba has been one of the most significant talking points of Dancing With the Stars Season 33.

Her status as a judge has been questioned, with viewers split on whether her critiques have been constructive or biased.

The drama paved the way for reports that Carrie Ann’s future with the show was in jeopardy.

It got so bad that the studio audience booed her actions as the show was filmed.

Thanks to DWTS being shot live, there was no sugarcoating that, but Carrie Ann has been defiant in her responses, explaining that she’s on the show to judge performances.

As with any show of this nature, there are always those who offer criticism that doesn’t align with the majority of viewers.

During Tuesday’s Season 33 finale, Carrie Ann was booed again for her comments about Joey Graziadei’s freestyle.

Booing is becoming a big part of DWTS

At this point,...

After a season of shocking eliminations, the final five took to the ballroom one last time on the Dancing With the Stars Season 33 finale.

But only one of them emerged with the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Going into the episode, it was difficult to predict who would win because every competitor brought their A-game in these final weeks.

Unfortunately, the overstuffed three-hour finale dragged due to the return of various former stars, including Anna Delvey.

Of course, more sparks flew between Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko, who seemed determined to make viewers question their relationship status forever at this point.

Sadly, some performances probably didn’t deserve a spot in the finale.

Who became the Season 33 winner of DWTS?

After the judges’ scores and viewer votes were completed, hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough announced the winner.

Danny Amendola and Witney Carson finished in fifth place. Stephen Nedoroscik and...

Dancing With The Stars host, Julianne Hough made a move on the contestant, Danny Amendola. Fans were shocked when they heard her flirting with him.

The top five contenders performed difficult redemption dances and high-energy freestyle acts during the three-hour competition. While many expected Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong to win, they ultimately finished third.

Graziadei’s triumph concluded a season of steady success. Judge Bruno Tonioli praised the couple’s outstanding performances, describing their Cha-Cha as “a sparkling jewel polished to perfection” and their freestyle routine as an innovative blend of conventional ballroom and classical musical choreography.

The finale’s innovative format enabled contestants to revisit and build on past dance styles. Olympian Ilona Maher and partner Alan Bersten finished second, earning their first perfect score with a spectacular freestyle that inspired judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
