Why Joey Graziadei Triumphed Over Chandler Kinney and Ilona Maher
During this long season filled with intense competition from start to finish, it seemed anything could happen in the Dancing With The Stars finale. Chandler Kinney held the top spot on the leaderboard for a significant part of the season. Her dance partner, Brandon Armstrong, might not have been overly concerned about the competition, but they truly deserved a better finish than third place. Ilona Maher, on the other hand, made waves this season with her TikTok fails and Encanto performance. It's puzzling how she ended up losing to Joey Graziadei. My theory, which remains unproven, is that the fanbase was divided between voting for Ilona and Chandler. Both women had outstanding finale nights with empowering performances. If they hadn't been so remarkable, either one might have won a significant share of the votes. Joey Graziadei, however, was consistently higher on the leaderboard during the season and was more distant from his male counterparts. This likely gave him the edge on finale night.
Did Joey Graziadei Truly Deserve to Win?
There is a lot of online discussion questioning Joey Graziadei's victory in Dancing With The Stars. As someone with a bias against rooting for Bachelor stars due to their previous advantage on ABC, I can't completely dismiss the doubts. While he might not have had as many viral moments as his competitors, there were rarely moments when Joey Graziadei fell below second place on the leaderboard. It's only natural that he would eventually rise to the top when it mattered most. Even if his finale dances weren't as memorable as those of the other contestants, his consistent performance throughout the season spoke volumes. If he manages to get Ilona Maher on The Bachelorette, it might help me get over his victory more easily.
