‘DWTS’ Fans Livid Over Season 33 Finale, Threaten Boycotts

The competition on Dancing With The Stars was especially fierce this year. Fans felt incredibly passionate about their favorite contestants and campaigned for them online. But as always, only one competing couple could win.

This year, The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and his partner Jenna Johnson took home the Mirrorball Trophy. The pair had high scores from the start and consistently maintained them throughout the competition.

But even so, many DWTS viewers felt angry that another member of Bachelor Nation won the competition.

DWTS Fans Are Tired Of Bachelor Nation Contestants Winning

Over the course of 33 seasons, several members of Bachelor Nation competed for the Mirrorball Trophy. They don’t always win, but over the past few years, there have been several champions from the fandom. Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe won Seasons 28 and 29 respectively. And now, Joey Graziadei has won Season 33.

It’s always disappointing when a favorite contestant doesn’t win, but some DWTS fans have insisted the competition is rigged in favor of Bachelor Nation contestants.

All season long, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong dominated the leaderboard. Many fans thought she was favored to win.

“I mean, in terms of dancing, it’s very clear. Chandler is great. If I had to close my eyes and go in terms of dancing, that’s it, it’s Chandler,” former pro dancer Keo Motsepe told The Sun in a recent interview.

Viewers Express Outrage On X, Feeling Chandler & Ilona Were ‘Robbed’

After DWTS wraps up for the year, it’s not at all uncommon for fans to threaten boycotts. After Tuesday’s finale, fans expressed outrage on the internet, believing that others were more deserving of the Mirrorball Trophy.

“America fears strong women but we aren’t a ready for that conversation yet…” one aggravated viewer shared on X, posting photos of third place winner Chandler Kinney and runner up Ilona Maher. 

So far, all the finalists have expressed grace over the situation, even if they are a little sad about missing out on the Mirrorball Trophy.
