DWTS Finale: Joey Graziadei Reacts to Being First Bachelor to Ever Win! (Exclusive)
Dancing With the Stars has crowned its new cha-cha-champs.
After the five remaining celebrities performed live with their partners for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and pro partner Jenna Johnson emerged as the winners of season 33 in the Nov. 26 finale. The pair defeated Olympian Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, who came in second place.
“I feel like Jenna deserves this fully and this is all for her,” Joey said as they accepted the coveted prize, named in honor of late judge Len Goodman. “It means everything. This whole experience has been unbelievable. Ilona, you have been amazing this season, I love you.”
Season 32 champs Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy reunited to hand over the trophy, which, as the cohosts noted, means the Mirrorball will stay in the same home, as Jenna and Val were married in 2019. Jenna previously won in 2009 with Donny Osmond and in 2011 with Hines Ward.
As for this year, the 2024 finale also featured NFL alum Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, who came in fifth, Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold in fourth and actress Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong in third.
