Forget the final rose — this former Bachelor took home the Mirrorball Trophy!
Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson were crowned as Season 33’s “Dancing With the Stars” winners on Tuesday night.
Four other couples competed for the title in the finale for the second time in the show’s history.
After beating Ilona Maher, Stephen Nedoroscik, Danny Amendola and Chandler Kinney, the Bachelor Nation member gushed about the “unbelievable” experience.
“It means everything,” he told viewers of the win. “Thank you for bearing with us. I tried my best, I promise!”
The ABC personality added, “I feel like Jenna deserves this fully and it’s all for her.”
Her husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, was the one to hand over the award.
The duo performed a Freestyle and a Cha Cha redemption dance during Tuesday’s show to “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake and “Canned Heat” by District 78 featuring Jake Simpson.
Carrie Ann Inaba was critical of the latter, with the judge telling Graziadei and Johnson that it was “a tad underwhelming” and “the energy just kind of dipped in the middle.”
She added, “I just found some of the angles, because of the racket, had to be super tight and it just didn’t nail it.”
The “Bachelorette” alum’s fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, loudly booed Inaba, 56, from the audience and gave her a thumbs down.
As for Chmerkovskiy, he called Inaba’s comments “unbelievable” after Johnson “bust[ed her] ass.”
Even judge Derek Hough and co-host Julianne Hough clapped back in the pair’s defense.
Nevertheless, Graziadei and Johnson received an overall score of 59.
Maher, 28, placed second with pro partner Alan Bersten, followed by Kinney, 24, and Brandon Armstrong in third.
Nedoroscik, 26, and Rylee Arnold took the fourth place spot, while Amendola, 39, and Witney Carson brought up the rear.
