Viewers Slam ‘DWTS’ Judge Carrie Ann for ‘Unfair’ Scoring at the Show Finale – Details

“DWTS” viewers are up in arms over the final score and comments Carrie Ann Inaba gave Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, who emerged victorious as the champions of season 33.

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.

Dressed as tennis players with rackets, the pair’s lively performance saw them waltz, turn, and spin around the stage. While Johnson dazzled with impressive high kicks and flips, Graziadei matched her dancing prowess with his own distinct and unique moves.

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.

After they finished, Inaba delivered her comments and score. A video shared on TikTok by a viewer of the show displayed the judge saying, “I found that to be just a tad underwhelming.”

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