DANCEING With The Stars aired its grand finale last night, with Bachelorette star Joey Graziadei and his dance partner Jenna Johnson winning the coveted title.
Season 33 of the popular dance competition came to an end on Tuesday, with Joey and Jenna crowned as the winners – but not everyone was happy with the result.
Some fans and viewers were extremely angry at the result, with many taking to social media to express their frustration and calling it a “fix”.
Many fans threatened, and some even promised, to boycott the show over the result, with the majority saying it was “unfair” and an “absolute steal” because another couple had never won.
Others seemed angry at the result and convinced the results were rigged due to Bachelor star Joey winning – with many believing he had an unfair advantage.
Some people think that since ABC is running The Bachelor and Bachelor Joey won, something is not quite right.
Overall, there were five winners from the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchises, and even though Joey is the front man – fans won't hold back on their opinions.
Amid Joey's triumphant victory, many fans thought that actresses Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong should have won the show, with viewers shocked that they only came in third place.
“You don't need to keep watching the absolute robbery,” one person wrote on X.
Then another person said angrily: “I wasted 3 hours of my life waiting for this result.”
“The offer is fake”
Furious at the outcome, a third person wrote: “[I] I mean, we all know no one has a real chance before the show is rigged!
“Why were we pretending the outcome would be different? ABC owns DWTS and The Bachelor. They were clearly pushing The Bachelor to win. I'll never watch it again, you all suck.”
A fourth person then wrote: “Dancing with the Stars needs to break up with The Bachelor. The fact that there have been three winners from the franchise in the last five years is ridiculous.”
While a fifth said: “Chandler and Brandon getting third place is too bad, you're all pretty crazy actually.
“She's been at the top of the leaderboard all season and consistently outperforms everyone every week. I'm honestly so disgusted at how much she's been robbed.”

Crowning the winners
It follows the glitzy finale, which saw the remaining couples battle it out on the dance floor.
NFL pros Danny Amendola and Whitney Carson finished fifth, while Steven Niedorocic and Riley Arnold finished fourth.
Chandler and Brandon then came in third place while Olympian rugby player Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten took second place.
When Joey and Jenna were crowned as this year's winners, the Bachelor star said: “It means everything, this whole experience has been incredible.
“Thank you for putting up with us. I did my best, I promise!”
Return of the offer?
It comes after Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko reunited on the dance floor after they were booted from the show in October.
The pair, who have been accused of exhibitionism, have had an on-and-off relationship since they left the dance floor last month, and are now rumored to be “connecting” again.
When the duo returned to the dance floor, fans were not impressed.
“Why are you tormenting us with Brooks and Gleb again?” Someone asked on X.
Then another said: “No one asked for Brooks and Gleb.”
While a third added: “Get out Brooks and get off my screen.”
A fourth said: “I'm so sick of Gleb and Brooks like the worst show-off energy.”
