‘DWTS’ Fans Rage Online After Abrupt Finale Ending
Plenty of Dancing With The Stars fans are aggravated after the way the Season 32 finale ended.
Things happen abruptly on live television all the time. But even so, viewers thought the Season 32 champions deserved much better than what the show gave them.
After the episode drew to a close, DWTS fans took to social media to air their grievances and call for justice. What exactly happened and what did viewers have to say? Keep reading to learn more.
The pacing of the DWTS finale didn’t sit right with viewers
The DWTS Season 32 finale had its highs and lows. Overall, viewers seemed annoyed that recaps took up 30 minutes of air time. The dances didn’t even start until around 8:30 PM Eastern time.
Fans found the performances entertaining and few complained about the winners. But the way the show announced the winners really rubbed fans the wrong way.
Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro began by announcing the couples who finished in fifth through third place. That left the final two couples: Jason Mraz & Daniella Karagach, and Xochitl Gomez & Val Chmerkovskiy. DWTS fans are used to dramatic pauses, but jaws dropped around the country when the hosts announced they were cutting to commercial instead.
“Terrible ending by the producers of @officialdwts – First you cut to commercial when announcing the winner!! Then roll to credits as the winner’s being announced! 3 hr finale and fans/contestants still robbed for commercial breaks and too many recaps!” one annoyed X user wrote.

Hiccups like these can happen on live television when a show doesn’t air all the commercials they were supposed to. It’s entirely possible that one segment ran too long, forcing the last-minute commercial break. But nevertheless, viewers weren’t at all impressed.
Fans feel the show robbed Xochitl and Val of their big moment
When the show came back from the last-minute commercial break, Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy were announced as the Dancing With The Stars Season 32 champions. Fans were excited to see such a deserving couple take home the trophy. However, they felt very disappointed that they didn’t get to see Xochitl and Val celebrate their big win.
Several DWTS cast members posted social media photos and videos of the new champions excitedly celebrating. But most viewers would have liked to see it onscreen too.
