Dancing with the Stars Season 33: Winner revealed

Over the last 10 weeks, Dancing with the Stars has been entertaining its audience with another season. This season came to an end on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, when Joey Graziadel and his partner Jenna Johnson took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

The show began with 13 celebrities and their professional dance partners to make themselves famous in a new field. The cast included NFL players, actors, TV personalities, gymnasts, and more. However, only 5 made it to the finale, which aired yesterday on ABC and Disney+.

This season's judges panel included Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli, who got inspired by Joey and Jenna's performance last night and crowned them with the title.

Dancing with the Stars - Finale Episode

The episode kicked off with an amazing opening number by all the contestants who entered the show. Right after the judges took their seats, the performances for the night began.

In round 1, or the redemption round, the finalists had to pick one of the dance forms that they had performed on the stage previously. In the final round, each couple had to perform a freestyle show topper.

While everybody gave their best and left the judges stunned, only one could take the win. With the judges' score and the audience's vote, a couple topped the leaderboard and took home the ultimate prize.

Who Won the Dancing with the Stars season 33?

Out of all the performances that set fire on the stage of Dancing with the Stars, it was Joey and Jenna's number that blew the minds of the judges and the audience. These two performed cha cha to "Can't Stop the Feeling" in the first round and danced on "Canned Heat" for the freestyle round.

On winning the show, the former star of The Bachelor expressed his emotions,

“It means everything. This experience has been unbelievable. Everyone from the beginning—Ilona, you've been amazing this season, I love you. To all the finalists, the judges—thank you for bearing with us. I tried my best, I promise. Thank you.

The runner-up from last night was Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, who performed jive on "Shake a Tail Feather," followed by "Femininomenon" in the freestyle round.
