When Cha Cha arrived at the farm, the barns and pasture at Will Rogers State Historic Park had fallen into disrepair. Wooden fences sagged and split, their paint faded and peeling. Inside the arena, dead footing deteriorated into a hard, uneven surface, creating a dangerous landscape for horses and riders, while countless rows of broken sprinklers left the surrounding fields dry and brittle.

There’s a new champion on Dancing With the Stars. And Joey Graziadei knows just how he wants to celebrate his stunning victory!

In case you missed it, Joey and partner Jenna Johnson took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy on Tuesday night’s DWTS finale.

Still, Joey and Jenna were clearly taken aback by their win. And it seems that Joey plans to spend his holiday weekend in a state of inebriated bliss.

Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from the Season 33 finale of Dancing with the Stars, including who wins the mirrorball trophy.

Dancing with the Stars has officially crowned a Season 33 winner.

No one went home last week, so five couples were competing in Tuesday night’s lengthy three-hour finale filled with reflections on the last nine episodes and some fun performances from the pros. Before we get to the winner, let’s go through each couple’s final two performances and see how they fared.

First up were the redemption dances, where the judges give each contestant an opportunity to revisit a style of dance they didn’t exactly nail, so they can showcase their improvements.

It's hard to believe that Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars is about to take its final bow, but the end is indeed nigh and while fans are quite sad to see it go, the network has a lot planned for its proverbial last dances.

DWTS Season 33 has been an absolute roller coaster, from the controversial decision to cast ex-con Anna Delvey to several shock eliminations, two preemptions, and at least one "fake out" send-off.

Speaking of non-eliminations, last week's semifinals entailed just that: after an extremely tense build up, viewers were shocked when no one was sent home during the reality TV competition's penultimate episode.

In our recap, we reported:

"After revealing which couples [were] safe, Ilona and Danny and Stephen and Rylee remain[ed] in jeopardy. Pitting the Olympians against each other was some sly work on behalf of DWTS producers, but ultimately, they announce[d] thatSURPRISEnobody [was] going home."

Anna Delvey is holding nothing back in the of her elimination from Dancing with the Stars.

After getting the boot from this competition early last week, Delvey actually told NBC News that she believes she was treated unfairly by executives and producers.

Charity Lawson made history as The Bachelorette's fourth Black lead to be engaged to a Black partner, addressing franchise diversity concerns. Despite her success on Dancing With The Stars, Charity faced mental health challenges due to intense hate and racism from viewers. Advocating for inclusivity, Charity voiced the need for diversity in hairstyling and makeup teams for women of color on The Bachelorette.

Charity Lawson first crossed our television screens when she was a contestant on Season 27 of The Bachelor, which featured Zach Shallcross as the lead. After being eliminated in Week 8, Charity was announced as the star of the 20th season of The Bachelorette, becoming just the fourth Black woman to be a franchise lead.

Charity walked away from the franchise an engaged woman when she accepted a proposal from Dotun Olubeko. The pair made history as The Bachelorette franchise's first couple who are Black and not biracial.

Mary J. Blige & Cameron Britton excel as Cha Cha & Hazel, Blige from music to acting. Kate Walsh impresses in a different role as The Handler in a controlling yet odd character portrayal. Megan Mullally & Nick Offerman shine as the malevolent couple Jean & Gene, despite Season 4 flaws.

A family of diffident superpowered misfits who get manipulated through a major part of their lives by their eccentric, genius father figure; try to accept their true selves by gaining a sense of purpose through their personal journey, and eventually strengthen the bond among themselves while facing absolutely bonkers situations and doomsday scenarios time and again. If this seems like a description of HBO Max’s underrated comic-book series Doom Patrol to you, then you are both right and wrong, as it’s pretty much the basic premise of Netflix’s hit series, The Umbrella Academy. Putting it like Number Five; think of Doom Patrol, but aim lower.

While some surprises can be nice, The View fans were not okay with the network’s latest decisions. Recently, fans expressed their anger over the latest episode that was aired.

Scheduling Shake-Up

Unexpectedly, The View had a major scheduling mix-up that left fans up in arms. When the fans went to watch their regularly scheduled program, they were in for a rude awakening. Unbeknownst to them, the panelists were taking some time off the air. Little did they know, the episode airing was a month-old replay, but fans caught on quickly. Understandably, the sneaky move left many fans raging upon the discovery of the show not being live. Although fans are enraged, the daytime TV network is offering a return date to appease the masses in the meantime.

“Dancing with the Stars” season 32 is getting closer to the end. We’re in week nine of the competition with only six competitors left out of the 14 we started with.

Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary as the night progresses.

Last week “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams was the eighth celebrity eliminated from the competition, leaving six to compete for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: actress Xochitl Gomez, actress Alyson Hannigan, “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette” alum Charity Lawson, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix and singer-songwriter Jason Mraz.

“Dancing with the Stars” made it through an emotional “Most Memorable Year Night” and a spooky “Monster Night.” Now seven weeks into the competition comes “Music Video Night,” where the celebrities will perform routines inspired by some iconic visuals. So who had the best routines, who struggled on the dance floor and who was eliminated at the end of the evening? Scroll down for our live blog for all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary throughout the night.

Last week “Real Housewives” personality and real estate agent Mauricio Umansky was the sixth celebrity eliminated from the competition, leaving eight to compete for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: actress Xochitl Gomez, actress Alyson Hannigan, “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette” alum Charity Lawson, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix, singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, social media personality Lele Pons and “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams.

There are two rounds of competition on “Music Video Night.

Week three of “Dancing with the Stars” brought “Motown Night,” in which the celebrities performed new dance styles — mostly foxtrots — to songs like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes and “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5.

“Saturday Night Live” is coming back to the air next week. Yes, there is still an actors strike going on, but yes, this is Ok. SAG-AFTRA even says so.

But if you’re still wondering why “SNL” is back on the air, your questions are warranted. “SNL” isn’t a game show or reality show that just has a celebrity host. It airs on NBC, whose parent company NBCUniversal is a struck member company with the AMPTP. And generally, they’re getting hosts who have something to promote, which is a strike no-no. In fact, Pete Davidson, who will be the host on the season premiere October 14, was supposed to be the host just before the writers went on strike and cut “SNL’s” season short.

This is hardly the first time SAG-AFTRA has had to clarify to members what actors can and can’t work on during the strike.

For the love of jive, look what’s back on ABC!

For a minute, it didn’t look as if the mirror ball would return home on time. The ongoing strike and the preponderance of picketers had the network flirting with the possibility of postponing tonight’s season 32 premiere of Dancing with the Stars. But a deal was finally hammered out on Sunday and earlier this evening, the WGA declared the strike would officially end at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. What better way to celebrate than watching a bunch of celebs break out in dance?

But before the competition can begin, the cast paid tribute to the late Len Goodman — who now has a Mirror Ball trophy named after him! Goodman, DWTS‘ former head judge, died in April at 78.

Adam Sandler produced a comical yet meaningful film in You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah and the Netflix movie is filled with funny and heartwarming quotes that add to its appeal. Produced by Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is a Sandler family affair. Sandler stars as Danny, the father of Ronnie and Stacy who are played by his real-life daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler. Meanwhile, Sandler's wife, Jackie Sandler, plays the mother of Stacy's best friend.

The film follows Danny's younger daughter, Stacy, on her journey to her bat mitzvah, which is a coming-of-age ritual in the Jewish faith. Like a typical 13-year-old, Stacy makes her fair share of mistakes but finds her way in the end. You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah has received good critical reception, and much of its appeal comes from its witty and relatable dialogue.

Saturday premieres include William Oldroyd’s Lady Macbeth follow-up Eileen.

Multiple offers from studios and streamers are understood to have come in for Chloe Domont’s Sundance finance thriller Fair Play following the world premiere on Friday.

The film about a promotion at a New York hedge fund that pushes two newly engaged employees to the edge stars Alden Ehrenreich and Phoebe Dynevor and screens again in US Dramatic Competition today (January 21) to public and P&i.

Fair Play hails from the partnership between MRC and Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman’s T-Street to support emerging directors, and Star Thrower Entertainment.

Someone who wants to grow, someone who wants to do better. There are a lot of coming-of-age movies that don’t center on a person who wants better for their life, and I’m not interested in those movies. I’m so interested in the movies that follow someone who...

Dancing with the Stars recently completed its 31st season. Prior to switching to streaming platform Disney+, the show was an ABC ratings hit, seeing celebrities paired with professional dancers to compete weekly for the luminous Mirror Ball trophy. A U.S. adaptation of the UK's Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing with the Stars became a reality show favorite, winning accolades and a solid community of fans.

Since 2005, several numbers were not only incredible to view, but became memorable in their own rights. Users of Reddit have voiced which Dancing with the Stars performances are ones visited over and over again.

Amber And Derek's Cha Cha - Season 17

"Amber and Derek- Cha Cha" was Reddit user ryro32's pick for a Dancing with the Stars routine worth watching. Former Glee actress Amber Riley competed in the show's seventeenth season, with multiple Mirror Ball trophy winner Derek Hough as her partner.

Dancing with the Stars‘ first season on Disney+ has come to end! So much change has already been announced going into tonight’s season 31 finale. First, judge Len Goodman and Cheryl Burke have called it quits. Then, Disney gave Bob Chapek the heave-ho and rewarded Bob Iger with his old CEO seat. A desperate plea from the cheap seats, Mr. Iger: return the mirror ball to ABC! I think we can all agree that this streaming experiment has gone the way of the polka: no one wants Disney+ anywhere near the ballroom. Perhaps moving it back home to Mondays on ABC can be your next major decision after lowering the price for the Genie+ line-skipping service at the parks?

Speaking of redemptive acts, it’s time for the couples to redo their performances from the season.

All 10 remaining couples danced exclusively to songs by Michael Bublé on Monday night, who also subbed in as a very generous guest judge. The pop vocalist also performed “Sway” and “Higher,” to which Derek Hough choreographed a sexy film-noir performance.

But the highlight of the night was Shangela, who channeled Lady Gaga at the Oscars as she and partner Gleb Savchenko tangoed to “Hollywood.” With so many comments throughout the competition about keeping her legs “crispy,” she surprised judge Len Goodman with a fried chicken breast she’d kept in her cleavage, then presented a surprised Tyra Banks with another. Goodman pronounced the dance “finger-licking good” and her best of the season so far.

Michael Bublé will get the episode started with a live performance of “Sway.” The season’s female pros will perform a routine choreographed by Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy.

Hey, "Dancing With The Stars" fans. Tonight, October 18, 2022, another new performances/results episode of Dancing With The Stars' current season 31 did indeed arrive. Judges: Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli were, of course, back for another night of critiques and scores. Tonight's theme was Prom Night for some reason. Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart kicked off tonight's performances with a Cha Cha number to "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake. Afterwards, Len said, "I liked the hip action, but your free arm needs to move more." Derek said, "I appreciate your swag and confidence, but your footwork got a little messy." Bruno said, "You can turn on the sex appeal at will, and it was on the right level, but you need more work on your footwork." Carrie Ann said, "This was a solid routine, but you need to exaggerate some of your movements. Your movements, right now,...

“Dancing with the Stars” started its “Stories Week” two-night event with “Most Memorable Year,” and it was even more memorable than we expected going in. So how did the celebrities all pick themselves up and carry on with night two? Follow along with our “Dancing with the Stars” “Prom Night” live blog below.

For “Most Memorable Year,” we were anticipating an elimination at the end of the night, but what we got instead was a surprising withdrawal. Actress Selma Blair, who has multiple sclerosis, decided to leave the competition on the advice of her doctors, who noticed worrying signs of injury from her MRIs. It was a tearful end to an evening that already included many tears from stars celebrating their parents, children, spouses, and other life milestones.

There was a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard on week three of “Dancing With the Stars” between Charli D’Amelio, Wayne Brady, and Gabby Windey as the stars danced to James Bond movie theme songs for Bond Night.

(Spoiler alert! This article reveals the results from Monday’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars” on Disney+.)

While Vinny Guadagnino earned the lowest scores of the evening, he was saved by the audience vote, who loved his spirited, if not technically perfect, rumba to “Thunderball.” Cohost Alfonso Ribiero gave Vinny to respond to Len Goodman’s “blocky” critique by doing his own review as the Brit: “It was rubbish, but he knocked my socks off,” said a game Vinny in his best British accent.

Former “Charlie’s Angels” star Cheryl Ladd and her partner Louis van Amstel have been eliminated from the competition, with all four judges opting to save Sam Champion & Cheryl Burke.
