The intense footwork of Jenna Johnson and Joey Graziadei paid off on “Dancing with the Stars.”
The 30-year-old choreographer and 29-year-old “Bachelor” alum won the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy on Tuesday night during the Season 33 finale of the ABC reality series.
The two faced Olympian rugby player Ilona Maher and pro Alan Bersten; Olympian gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik and pro Rylee Arnold; Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola and pro Witney Carson; and actress Chandler Kinney and pro Brandon Armstrong.
With Graziadei’s victory, Bachelor Nation members who have recently been proclaimed competition show winners have had an incredible few years. Hannah Brown won in 2019 and Kaitlyn Bristowe won the prize the following year.
As a tribute to Graziadei’s pre-“Bachelor” career as a tennis instructor, Graziadei and Johnson performed a tennis-inspired freestyle to “Canned Heat” by District 78, featuring Jake Simpson, prior to their victory. The two performed a cha-cha to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” as their redemption dance, and they received a perfect score.
Fifth place went to Amendola and Carson, fourth to Nedoroscik and Arnold, third to Kinney and Armstrong, and second to Maher and Bersten.
The action-packed finale featured eye-popping numbers set to Troye Sivan and Madonna pop tunes, as well as a redemption round and a freestyle round.
