“Dancing With The Stars” Crowns Season 33 Champion
on Nov 26, 2024
Another season of Dancing With the Stars came to an end Tuesday night with the crowning of a new winner.
Five teams of celebrities and professional dancers performed for the last time during Tuesday night’s finale. Each team danced a freestyle routine and another dance of their choice in an effort to win America’s votes for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
The teams who made the finale are actress Chandler Kinney and pro dancer Brandon Armstrong, Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and pro Jenna Johnson, Olympic rugby star Ilona Maher and pro Alan Bersten, professional football player Danny Amendola and pro Witney Carson, and Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik and pro Rylee Arnold.
Throughout the night, scores were fairly high across the board, with a few perfect scores thrown in for Joey Graziadei, Stephen Nedoroscik, and Chandler Kinney. The perfect 10s put these stars at the top of the leaderboard, but it was ultimately the fans who chose the winner.

The first couples to be eliminated were….Danny and Witney, Stephen and Rylee, Chandler and Brandon.
