As host Alfonso Ribeiro shared before announcing the winners on November 26th, this year’s results were some of the closest in Dancing with the Stars history. The five couples who made it to the grand finale had been neck and neck for weeks. But Joey and Jenna managed to inch ahead of their competitors with their impressive Cha Cha performance.
The couple’s first dance of the night earned 29 out of 30 points from the judges, but their second scored a perfect 30. That brought them to 117 points for the season, which was only 1 point lower than Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong.

Of course, fans also vote for the DWTS winners each season. During the live finale, people were able to call in and vote for their favorite dancers. Those votes were added to the judges’ totals, and they pushed Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson to the top.
“We put in so much work … everyone did,” Joey told GMA. “But it meant the world to obviously get this, and, you know, end it with an exclamation point.”
Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten were the runner-up winners of DWTS Season 33. Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong earned third place, Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold came in fourth, and Danny Amendola and Witney Carson were the fifth-place winners.
