After the duo was crowned the winner, show fans reacted to the win secured by The Bachelor contestant. While some Dancing With the Stars fans were happy with Joey's deserving win, others had different views.
Since Joey Graziadei, the winner, was announced, show fans took to social media platform X and reacted to his finale performance and how he ended up winning the dance competition show.
One of the Dancing With the Stars fans commented about Joey's "Cha Cha" performance,
"Joeys cha cha wasn't that good. Not 10 worthy #DWTSFinale."
Another fan shared a similar comment and referred to Joey's performance as "boring,"
"No people am I blind ??? Like this cha cha got three 10 ??? Like am I lost ??? Are they using the show to boost Joey career or something cause I was so bored watching it #DWTS #DWTSFinale."
One more fan wrote on the platform,
"#DWTS stephen was better than joey and it isn't even close, no way did joey deserve to get all tens for his cha cha cha. he was very stiff the entirely dance. OKAY GUYS WATCH HIM WIN."
Another fan wrote about the show's finale on X,
"Every year they do this time and time again. When has chandler ever produced a third place performance this entire competition! ABSOLUTELY INSANE. And then for Joey to come in first?! HOW?! RIGGED. #DWTSFinale #DWTS."
A Dancing With the Stars fan commented about Joey's "freestyle" performance,
"Do I dislike Carrie Ann, yes. However, y'all need to call a spade a spade. Joey's freestyle was boring. It was cute but it just didn't give what it needed to. Also y'alls hatred for Carrie Ann diverts your attention from her correct analysis of peoples dances.#DWTSFinale #DWTS."
Another fan criticized Joey's performance and his win,
"Joey doesn't deserve the trophy. There I said it. Bye #dwts #DWTSFinale."
