I actually felt like this dance was so Joey. He always says he’s feels like just a normal guy and says he’s not really a star for dancing with the stars, this dance highlights how normal and down to earth he is, a big part of why so many people like him.

I loved it! It felt innovative to me with the sections with the lit up rackets and stuff. I don't think Jenna's your typical choreographer. She likes to bring unique elements in (case in point: the quirkiness of the Halloween tango, the body drumming in the samba, etc.). Maybe her preferences aren't for everyone but I can definitely appreciate her creativity, talent and how much she pushed Joey on ALL of the dances. No wonder they won. The guy grew so much as a dancer. Well deserved win!

Joey was my favorite to win, but I agreed with Carrie. Sorry.

Congratulations to Joey and Jenna on an incredible season! I think this freestyle highlighted something Joey loves and it was cute! I’m going to miss watching these two dance each week. I’m glad they won!

This freestyle helps me see why they won. Compared to all of the other ones, including Elena, which I voted for, he actually danced. And he danced as much as the other dancers. He did not rely on theatrics and stunts like Danny, and although I loved Ilona’s performance, her body does not move as much as the rest of the dancers so it’s easier to tell who’s the pro and who’s not. But for Joey, he is doing the exact same moves in the exact same caliber as the backup dancers, which shows that he can actually dance! And the show is called dancing with the stars and not “Performing with the Stars.” he showed that he can both dance and perform! And he did it both very flawlessly! I think this was a solid finale dance.

Everyone keep dissing this dance but I really like it. I don't think the freestyle need to be all crazy but just capture who the dancer are. This was very joey coded.

No disrespect it was his freestyle by Carrie Ann said with some of us were thinking. He is amazing dancer. We just thought it was a little bit more it was kind of flat maybe it was the music it was a little bit flat maybe because it was the music wasn't hitting. Carrie Ann could have said it in a different way. Is salute his overall performance. But I'm not going to lie she was right

[ShayTheAnti-Feminist]

This freestyle didn't blow me away.

[bhawk]

No disrespect I was rooting for him to win. We just wish that final dance was more

[taimarshedon]

I think this dance was very well done, looked professional and suited Joey perfectly. Well done!

[manorcarol]

Congrats Joey and Jenna ! You guys def earned it! And yes Joey you had great moves from the very beginning. So happy you won!

Honestly, she's right in a way it was just okay...maybe she was thinking it should've had more "pizzazz" because it's the finals.

[shaunduquette]

Wish they had dropped those rackets for good, she kinda went light on him too and I know he can dance more than that. CMON Jenna!!

[cheryladucatte]

OMG, I will never forget this season with both of you. It was truly unforgettable. Happy holidays to you both and your families.

Honestly anything would be underwhelming after Stephen and rylees dance! It was still a great dance but theirs was just so breath taking that’s it’s hard to see anything after

[heathernewbold]

I LOVED this freestyle! The music, tennis theme, choreography, and smooth execution were all excellent!

[BakerHeidi]

Nothing made Joey standout from the backup dancers

[minanabeel]

it was completely unnecessary (and insulting to jenna) for carrie ann to call his LAST dance on the show 'underwhelming' especially when they incorporated something he loved into it!! so glad he won tho ❤🪩

[haydenrobinson]

This would’ve been a great regular dance but freestyles need to go above and beyond

[angelagarrett]

DWTS wasn’t ready for all that chocolate! When I saw the Nicholas Brothers, I knew this was gonna be the best freestyle You are OUR champion 🎉❤💪🏾✊🏾
