During the Dancing With the Stars finale, tension arose between the judges and the contestants over critiques of Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson’s performance. Carrie Ann Inaba was not impressed with their routine, causing backlash from Kelsey Anderson, Graziadei’s fiancée, and Val Chmerkovskiy, Johnson’s significant other. Despite this, fellow judge Derek Hough and cohost Julianne Hough praised the couple’s performance and disagreed with Inaba’s critique. The judges ultimately gave Graziadei and Johnson top scores, leading to their victory and marking the first time a Bachelor contestant has won the Mirrorball Trophy. Prior to the finale, Graziadei was praised for his showmanship and versatility on the dance floor. Anderson also expressed her admiration for Graziadei’s dedication and commitment in a TikTok video. Despite the controversy, Graziadei and Johnson emerged victorious and are set to choreograph the first dance for Graziadei and Anderson’s wedding. The finale of Dancing With the Stars showcased not only intense competition but also emotional moments and strong relationships between the contestants and their loved ones.
