On November 26, the finale of “Dancing with the Stars” (“DWTS”) season 33 aired, revealing the pair who walked away with the coveted Mirrorball trophy. Before the results were announced, the former five finalists faced off against each other in their respective performances. One score from “DWTS” judge Carrie Ann Inaba caused an online commotion.

The score in question was for dancing couple Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson’s final freestyle performance. Graziadei and Johnson danced their hearts out to “Canned Heart” by District 78 featuring Jake Simpson.

At some point, they were joined by backup dancers, who added extra flair to their already show-stopping performance, which also included an eye-catching light spectacle and confetti.

Immediately, the crowd roared with boos at her response, which elicited shocked expressions from Johnson and Graziadei.

Nevertheless, Inaba continued, “I was expecting some — and listen, a freestyle can make or break somebody […] I’m so sorry to say that. I just found that some of the movements with the rackets had to be super tight because all the angles, they just didn’t nail it to me. The energies kind of dipped in the middle.”

The TikToker included overlaid text, “Carrie Ann what are you talking about?” “She needs to go! This was my last straw with her! 😮💨 @Joey Graziadei you did AMAZING 👏🏻,” captioned the user alongside their video post.

In another video shared by someone else on TikTok, Graziadei and Johnson received their final scores from all three judges, including Bruno Tonioli. Inaba gave the duo a nine, while both Hough and Tonioli gave them tens, making their total score for the evening 29/30.

“Carrie ann [sic] what?!?!?!? Were we watching the same dance????” pondered an Instagrammer, while another remarked, “officially ready for carrie ann to be replaced by mark after those comments about joey [sic].”

“9??!! absolutely not. carrie ann. Leave [sic],” said an outraged viewer, while a spectator penned, “how was this UNDERWHELMING [sic].”

Additional comments include, “This was absolutely amazing 🙌🙌 should’ve been all 10’s [sic]. 🔥🔥🔥 Great job Joey and Jenna,” and “Congratulations to Joey and Jenna!!! So glad they won despite the unfair scoring (from Carrie Anne👎🏻) 🥳🥳.”

They started by revealing that fifth place went to Danny Amendola and Witney Carson. Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold placed fourth; Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong came third, and Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten scored second place.

He replied, “It means everything. This whole experience has been unbelievable. Honestly, everyone from the beginning […] I love you, all the finalists in it, the judges — thank you for bearing with us, I tried my best, I promise!”

After the show, the winners caught up with Extra TV to discuss their victory. When asked how they felt, Graziadei mentioned how he was “speechless,” before adding, “It’s crazy, it hasn’t even sunk in yet […] It’s crazy. We’re so, so excited.”

“I am so proud of him. This is an absolute dream come true. He’s been a dream partner, somebody that this show is all about. Someone with no dance experience coming in, putting their whole heart into it, and look what he’s been able to accomplish,” boasted Johnson.

She went on to say, “I wouldn’t have been able to do this with anybody else. So I’m just so beyond grateful that I got to experience these three months with him.”

Additionally, he gave an update on their upcoming plans to move into their new place in Los Angeles and figure out their wedding details.

“This is for you guys, seriously. Thank you so much for ten weeks’ worth of support and love. We would not have this without you guys. So, from the bottom of my heart — I’m gonna cry again — thank you so much!” stated Johnson.
