Dancing with the Stars season 33 recently aired its finale where they crowned the winner and awarded the highly-coveted mirrorball trophy.
You might be wondering which couple won the season as the five remaining couples competed in the final round. Let's recap below.
What Happened in Dancing with the Stars Season 33 Finale?
The night opened with a performance of Madonna's "Holiday" choreographed by Ray Leeper.
The professional dancers joining the Dancing with the Stars Live Tour in 2025 also performed a routine to "Rush" by Troye Sivan. Mandy Moore was in charge of the choreography.
Season 32 champions Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy made their return to the ballroom with a performance of "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan. Mark Ballas and Derek Hough also performed an Argentine tango set to "Libertango" by Tango Bardo.
The five remaining couples performed two dances with one of them being a redemption dance where they had to re-attempt a style that they struggled to earlier in the season and have another shot to do a better performance.
The biggest standout among the finale performances is the pairing of Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong as they have a perfect 30 score in both routines that they did during the night.
Both the pairings of Ilona Maher & Alan Bersten and Stephen Nedoroscik & Rylee Arnold also received their first perfect 30 score this season in their respective freestyle performances.
Who is the Winner of Dancing with the Stars Season 33?
Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson were crowned as the winners of Dancing with the Stars season 33 and received the coveted mirrorball trophy.
Ilona Maher and Alan Berstein were ranked in 2nd place while Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong nabbed the 3rd place spot.
This may come as a surprise since fans consider either Chandler Kinney or Ilona Maher to be the top favorites leading up to the finale and predict one of them as the potential winner of the season.
While Chandler ranked the best in the leaderboard, the integration of fan voting into the overall tally propelled Joey into the top spot and became the winner of the season.
The outcome might be unexpected for some fans, but there is no doubt that it was an intense competition in the finale and it just showed that there could still be some twists and turns at the very end.
