The new season of Dancing with the Stars ended on a spectacular note. Fans are still buzzing about it and praising the exceptional performances. Season 33 aired from September 17 to November 26, 2024, and it is one of the most unforgettable seasons with stunning routines and beautiful stories.
Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson ended as the champions, winning the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Their journey was nothing less than phenomenal. Joey, an ex-Bachelor star, proved himself a perfect dancer who was very enthusiastic about dance. Jenna was a professional who guided Joey with each step, which turned out to be a fantastic performance for the judges and audience.
The finale was a talent display because all five couples ended their performance with very powerful redemption dances and freestyle routines. The runners-up were Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, while the third-placed couple was Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong. Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold were in fourth position while the fifth position was Danny Amendola and Witney Carson.
One of the best moments of the season was when Danny Amendola freestyled to “I’m Just Ken” by Ryan Gosling, inspired by the movie “Barbie”. It was a great blend of creativity and athleticism that caught the attention of the judges.
This season viewers have experienced a good share of different types of dance ranging from energetic jive to Quickstep gracing their TV screens week after week as celebrities tackle new challenges that make them stretch beyond themselves.
Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough were also not to be missed, but instead of just criticizing these participants, they also kept telling them how great it is to be out here on the dance floor performing for everyone.
At the close of the season, viewers can already anticipate the next Dancing with the Stars season. It continues to be a show much-loved by many viewers who appreciate the beautiful work that brings together stars and professional dancers to perform their magic, inspiring people’s emotions and entertaining them as well.
