Soon after getting engaged on The Bachelor season 28, Joey was cast as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars season 33.

Fresh from his victory, Joey signed on to appear on the DWTS live show and was scheduled for multiple dates across the country. A recent setback changed plans and threatened to derail Joey's recent string of career success.

After a few initial performances on the Dancing With The Stars live show, Joey was off for a month. He had another assignment during his time off and appeared as a host during The Rose Parade on New Year's Day. When Joey returned to the live show, his first show back was canceled due to bad weather. Joey's minor career setback was probably frustrating, but Joey will have a chance to return to DWTS live.
