"Dancing With the Stars" has been a television staple for as long as it has existed, bringing celebrities and professional dancers together for a season of grace, drama, and fierce competition. Each season features dynamic performances, jaw-dropping choreography, and celebrity contestants from various walks of life, aiming for that  coveted Mirrorball Trophy. As always, a mix of fan votes and judges' scores  determines  who goes home with the ultimate prize.

Season 33 of "Dancing With the Stars" debuted in 2024. As usual, stars from  every field were brought in-the athletes, the actors, reality TV stars, even a con artist to keep it all exciting. However, this season was very intense with great  talent and  eager fans as they watched who was going to win.And at the very finale, people in the audience left their seats with all bated breath as the curtain went on Joey Graziadei, from "The Bachelor", and professional partner, Jenna Johnson  emerged victorious after fighting against the reigning champions from last season, Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy.

The Finale 2024

Finale season on Dancing With the Stars Season 33 occurred November 26, 2024, when it was full of action packed performances, emotional scenes, and plenty of drama. Fans watched as this finale episode was built during season for the final four dancing to do their best to try and impress the judges, just like their fan base.

The final performance would entail a freestyle routine and a redemption dance  from each couple. Both these dances provided the couple an opportunity to  display their moves in a style they failed at earlier in the season. The redemption dance turned to be crucial, where it proved an opportunity for couples to redeem themselves from earlier mistakes or missteps that add further intensity to the already pressurized situation.

Joey and Jenna decided to do a Cha Cha for their redemption, and that seemed to pay off in spades. They finished atop the leaderboard, which really displayed their growth over the course of the season. But they also earned almost-perfect 29 out of 30 for their freestyle - a thrilling and nearly flawless routine that had the judges as  well as the viewers gobsmacked.

Their flawless dances and undeniable chemistry on the floor made them the DWTS champions, and they will be inscribed in the history of this dance show. What  makes Joey's win especially wonderful is that it isn't just the fans' celebrations, but also those who follow his journey since his experience with "The Bachelor" Cast Season 33:

This season boasted different types of contestants with varying interests in a variety of professions from multiple walks of life. Season 33 had:

Joey wrote, "I still can't believe it's been a year since I got on my knee and asked you to marry me. Here's another appreciation post for everything that you do. The laughter, the love, the support, the joy, and excitement. Every day with you is an adventure, and I cannot wait to see all of the memories that we get to create in  years to come.

Such an inspiring message from him said much about how much Kelsey was to him. Joey had always thanked Kelsey for everything, and this support, which never changed through the season, helped Joey get himself together  and maintain  positivity through the grueling race.
