Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson Win Season 33 of Dancing With the Stars!
Forget the final rose—Joey Graziadei just claimed the Mirrorball Trophy! The former Bachelor star and his partner, Jenna Johnson, were crowned champions of Dancing With the Stars Season 33 on Tuesday night.
In a fiercely competitive finale, Graziadei and Johnson triumphed over four other couples, including Ilona Maher, Stephen Nedoroscik, Danny Amendola, and Chandler Kinney. Reflecting on the win, Graziadei called the experience “unbelievable.” He shared, “It means everything. Thank you for bearing with us. I tried my best, I promise!” He dedicated the victory to Johnson, adding, “Jenna deserves this fully, and it’s all for her.”
The winning duo impressed with a Freestyle dance and a Cha Cha redemption performance set to Justin Timberlake's “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” and District 78’s “Canned Heat” featuring Jake Simpson. Although judge Carrie Ann Inaba criticized their Cha Cha, calling it “a tad underwhelming,” the couple still secured a score of 59 and the coveted trophy.
Maher and her partner Alan Bersten finished in second place, while Kinney and Brandon Armstrong took third. Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold placed fourth, and Amendola, with pro partner Witney Carson, rounded out the top five.
Season 33 of DWTS, which began in September, marked one of the most exciting finales in the show's history. Congratulations to Joey and Jenna on their well-deserved victory!
