I was baffled when they announced them in 3rd place. They were both incredible. This jive was so incredible. So so good.

Seriously! Another example of why it's not about dancing- instead, it's a giant popularity contest.

[@GorgieClarissa]

it's not a dance competition... it's a popularity contest.

[@imanipatrice9492]

BEST DANCER OF THE SEASON, doesn’t matter what the popularity contest says🤷🏾‍♀️

[@terry-annfrancis1252]

She should have won. But this show is a popularity contest still.

[@1prettyladyofgrace7]

‼️

[@LorenLevi-lj6gv]

Fr, I hate it when almost the entire results are based off popularity

[@Super-mr4yn]

I would agree technically, yes, she was the best dancer. but, in terms of entertainment factor and difficulty of choreo (which a lot has to do with Brandon), dances were not very exciting and repetitive and didn't showcase chandler's incredible dancing talents. because of this, joey and Stephen appeared far better in terms of exciting the audience because their choreo was far more advanced

[@1prettyladyofgrace7]

@ I don’t know who you were watching; I totally disagree with you! Chandler and Brandon’s dances were absolutely exciting and entertaining! Chandler danced like a pro and she and Brandon were the only reason I kept watching. They were the best by far, and were robbed; period!!!

[@shakierracampbell5400]

Chandler and Brandon had the overall best finale night to me. I know ppl like to discredit her for having a dance background, but she showed and proved why she should be there each week. Plus, compared to other stars & pros who were more popular, Brandon made sure the dances were filled with steps and not theatrics and tricks. If anything, Chandler is the epitome of 'dancing' with the stars and should definitely come back if they have an Allstar season. She has a new fan in me!

[@tjh4115]

Her freestyle there were footwork mistakes in the beginning, so i have to respectfully disagree. Not suggesting she isnt' extremely good, she obviously has got the moves.

[@boydentertainment7666]

@@tjh4115the others had mistakes in their freestyles…

[@maggierappa417]

I feel like the dance background complaint is so redundant at this point. It’s going to be impossible to find 10+ contestants every season who have never taken some type of dance training. It would be really different if someone came in with 10 years of classic ballroom training instead of “I took dance throughout high school and haven’t in 6 years” or “I learned choreography for 1 movie I did 3 years ago”

Chandler literally had top two best dances of the night!!

[@adna543]

What an AMAZING jive!!! Watched this 10+ times, it’s everything and more! Chandler and Brandon did their big one this season, definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. From Brandon’s amazing choreography to Chandler’s natural dance skills, they are MY WINNERS!!

[@NaomiHiggins03]

Chandler’s flicks and kicks here were so clean! This was a good choreography from Brandon. They had two perfect dances tonight! I’m sad they didn’t win, but I’m still so proud of Chandler and all of the hard work she did this season

[@DGG2024]

The way Brandon gave his everything to this season, did not go unnoticed! He had some of the best choreography we have seen all year, and then topped it off with another perfect score night!!! I hope DWTS continues to give him a talented high contender celebrity like Chandler next year!!! I won’t rest till he gets that mirror ball!!

[@kelandrada]

The best HANDS DOWN! Chandler and Brandon we all know who the winners should have been. I hope to see you when you go on tour!

[@oliverwady4749]

Honestly one of the best Jives I’ve seen on this show.

[@MajesticMyronn]

CHANDLER DID IT! So swift, so smooth, so slick, so fire!! Her uphill battle til now just- I’m speechless… she is not a victim… she is a VICTOR! This was one of the most original and best Jives of this show that I’ve ever seen! It’s a 10 😭🔥

[@maggierappa417]

A highlight for this season was seeing Brandon and Rylee make it so far. Watching them both, especially Brandon, make it to the end and get to choreograph freestyles was a major highlight

[@rocky_m2]

Knowing they were going to dance to APT… I knew they were going to KILL this Jive. It’s SO good! In fact, someone I was watching this live with asked “who’s the star?” She’s that damn good! Wish they had won, but for me, this was my favorite dance of the finale!

[@temjo22]

Okay Brandon with the choreo! Woah. This was fireeee

[@gobsmr]

Brandon’s choreography is UNMATCHED this season

[@celinebeanie]

THE BEST JIVE OF THE SEASON!!!

[@AdriR89]

That was an entertaining Jive!!!!! Shocked that Chandler got 3rd place!!! I thought she would've gotten 2nd place, or even be the Winner!!! But girl, you are the strongest female contestant this season!! You should be proud of yourself!! Your performances were stellar ✨️ from beginning to the end!!!

[@hermanv111]

I can watch this all day!

[@aldebaranmoon7777]

Un freaking real! Best dancer this season! Brandon and Chandler were truly the best and they were robbed unfairly😢

[@mollyhoyer3356]

okay but why do I feel like this is almost better than their freestyle?? Chandler looks so sharp and clean in this one, it was so, so fun to watch! maybe it's just because it was a jive, but I loved it!

[@ShayTheAnti-Feminist]

Not only was Chandler robbed, but Brandon was too. He was a great pro/choreographer this season. I really wanted to see him win his first mirrorball. It's too bad this show is rigged.

[@shaunduquette5992]

prove it's rigged

[@DGG2024]

Yup! There is simply nothing more Bran could have choreographed & nothing more Chan could have performed. Like what more do they want??? Joey was always going to win, even with the worst freestyle of the night.

[@alexisgeorge9920]

They should have won but honestly they did by getting two perfect scores only couple to do so in the finale and highest scorers of the season so technically the best dancers this jive was fantastic and on a whole other level ❤

[@AudsVids]

This song is so good for a jive.

[@reneegeorge2369]

Best dancers all season PERIOD!!! The true winners!

[@shakierracampbell5400]

I don't think Chandler was robbed because viewer votes carry as much weight as judges' scores, and her and Brandon aren't necessarily the popular crew. However, I think after this season you will have to look at how you score the guys vs girls because Chandler 'danced' a lot more than other ppl in their routines. Most stars who are male don't have to carry a routine like a woman has too, which I think is why so many male stars win. I don't know if there's a way to truly balance out the scoring among all contestants, but it's definitely something to look into.

[@carjis]

I need this on the next iconic dances night.

INSANE

[@tjh4115]

She is just a natural. No other way to put it. Surprised she didn't get second, don't know who did, just read she got 3rd. If its about how much someone improved, well, she was good from the get go so improvement wise, not a lot to do there. Still, she is just really solid. Don't know who she is or what she is a star from.

[@stawrstruck]

yall know damn well she wasn't 3rd.

[@KaraJohnson-d8p]

Y’all really surprised that an all black couple that definitely deserved to win…didn’t win?

[@mimiwhite1963]

They are clearly the best. DWS needs to decide if they are looking for the best dancer or the journey of most improved. There is no fair way to combine these 2 things into one contest. And you have some people who think it is about the journey and will not vote for "experienced" dancers and then others who vote for the best.

[@trikurniawan6017]

I think she's deserve more the title

[@Melissa-qb1sh]

They really need to change the way this show is done. Remove fan votes and judges need to stop playing favorites. They should have won.

[@michaelvega6646]

Even though they got 3rd place I'm glad Brandon made it farther than the last seasons he's been on

[@Domino365-q3k]

The consensus online is that Joey was more relatable. Since when is it dancing with the relatable thought it was dancing with the stars so yeah, definitely they stole that from her.

[@gobsmr]

The amount of people who tweeted that “they made it about race! lost my vote!” is vile.

[@brooklynbyars6055]

I am so happy for Joey that he won. But Chandler has always so obviously been the best out of all the stars. I say that still barely even knowing who she is, while following the other 3 stars pretty religiously. I just don't get what was going on with the judges that she didn't win.

[@carjis]

The judges weren’t the problem here.

[@noahstarlord6045]

I feel like Brandon plateaus with his partners but then doesn't know how to go farther or add finesse. It was Chandler's to win, and Brandon has had other great partners too but I kind of knew this would happen. He also outshined her somewhat and you don't do that to your partner

[@carjis]

@ he absolutely went farther this season, that’s literally showcased in the jive. On top of that, it’s hard to improve when you’re repeatedly getting voted off too soon. Like, you can’t call Tinashe’s season a “plateau” when she had the highest average at that point of the season. It’s like calling a rollercoaster boring for only the first five seconds.

[@noahstarlord6045]

@@carjis about Tinashe, there were definitely issues, go watch. And yes you can improve, that's what dance classes are for. All the pros are in them to keep up with new moves, but keep making excuses 😉

[@carjis]

@@noahstarlord6045 “that’s what dance classes are for” so are you illiterate? Like, it’s pretty damn to improve *on the show* if you are *eliminated from the show*. This utter brainlessness is the reason Chandler lost. Besides, if she took any more dance classes outside the show, we’d have even more people whining about dance experience. Please learn to read (both the room and comments), thank you.

[@calmccluskey4655]

my favorites the entire season. they were so robbed.

[@robynwhittaker8299]

She was clearly the best dancer from week one. This show is a joke

[@Domino365-q3k]

Just know that there is definitely something to being too good and being too beautiful and like being a triple threat because people are gonna hate you and they’re gonna make you work 1700 times harder do you know you won that? I’m sure you already know that inside, but you did so amazing you and your partner and trust people honestly know who won that

[@juliannetaggart5720]

I think judges scores need to weigh more than general voting. They were winning in top 2 all season on dances.

[@IndiaButler-e6l]

Wtf from the first two seconds of this dance i knew it was gonna be good.

[@user-ff9vi8ze7n]

Dear ABC, if you want to continue calling your show “dancing” with the stars.. maybe the judges scores should outweigh fan voting. Chandler was robbed of her trophy.

[@susiebolling9346]

They should have been 1st place

[@christopherbacon1077]

She should have won.

[@diaz035]

This jive in a way reminds me of tinashes week 1 jive

[@sebastianlopez7373]

I know the result for some fans could be underwealming, but Imagining that the points for the audience vote were like this: Joey 5 - Ilona 4 - Stephen 3 - Chandler 2 The judges + the audience's order give these points: 🥇Joey 4 + 5 = 9 🥈Ilona 3 + 4 = 7 🥉Chandler 5 + 2 = 7 Public vote untie that 7, Ilona is 2nd and Chandler 3rd

DWTS couldn’t have a young woman with a background in dance win for the third time in a row. She was my pick, but it was purely network politics that got in the way. Joey was awesome and I’m proud of Ilona, but chandler would’ve won if Charlie didn’t win two years ago and xochitl last year.
