Joey Graziadei Wins Dancing With The Stars!

Season 33 of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars sadly came to a close Tuesday night, as the five finalists competed for the Mirror Ball. It was a great night, and the best news is, former Bachelor Joey Graziadei took home the Mirror Ball!

Joey has been a standout all season, receiving praise from the judges for every one of his dances, one tango even being hailed as the best they’ve ever seen from a male celebrity on the show! Who knew Joey, former tennis pro, also possessed this amazing dancing ability? 

Let’s dive into how Joey ended up winning the mirror ball on the Dancing With The Stars finale!

1. Joey's first dance

To kick off Joey’s part of the night, Derek gave his thoughts on what makes Joey a great dancer.

Derek called Joey a “showman” and said he is a “natural performer, versatile, consistent, and unmatched in musicality.” 

Joey also spoke about how winning Dancing With The Stars would mean he’s a champion, which he hasn’t often felt in his life. 

For the first round, Joey and Jenna danced a Cha-Cha for their “Redemption Dance.” Joey worked on his footwork and his arms for his redemption. 

In fancy lime-green outfits, Joey and Jenna rocked the Cha-Cha to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”

Derek said he “enJOEYed” the dance, and praised Joey’s technique!

Bruno said it was “polished to perfection.”

Carrie Ann said she loved Joey’s consistency, and how well-deserved his success is. 

Joey and Jenna earned a 10 from each of the judges for a perfect score!

2. Joey’s freestyle

For their freestyle dance, Joey and Jenna did an amazing number to the classic song “Canned Heat.” 

With glowing tennis rackets, no less!

Joey looked like he was having such a good time! This dance implemented so many different styles and it was so fun to watch!

Carrie Ann said Joey was “amazing” but was a tad underwhelmed by the dance. 

Derek said the dance was “phenomenal” and that Joey was a “show-stopper.” He also complimented Jenna on her body of work!

Bruno said, “Game, Set, and Match!” 

For this dance, Joey and Jenna earned a 9, 10, and 10 from the judges.

At the end of the night, Joey became the first Bachelor ever to win the Mirror Ball! It was great to get another season of Joey after his time on The Bachelor. Hopefully, we will see him in something else very soon! Well done, Joey!
