So, the sequins have settled, the spray tans have faded, and the Mirrorball has found its home. What’s left for the exhausted hoofers of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 33? A trip to “Good Morning America,” naturally, to dish about the grueling journey, the joys of spandex, and what’s next after logging approximately 500 hours in the rehearsal studio.
Fresh off the season finale, the finalists graced the GMA couch. Stephen Riley, still buzzing from his perfect-scoring freestyle, reminisced about incorporating his Olympic teammates and channeling the wisdom of his sister, former DWTS champion Lindsay Arnold. Apparently, sibling rivalry can be a powerful motivator, even when it involves glitter cannons and paso dobles.
Newly-minted Mirrorball champion and Bachelor Nation alum, Joey, couldn’t resist drawing parallels between his two reality TV experiences. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to find love (and a fiancé) on “The Bachelor” and then showcase some surprisingly nimble footwork on the dance floor. I’m still trying to figure out if a rose ceremony is more nerve-wracking than a samba roll, but Joey seems to have handled both with aplomb.
Never one to miss a comedic beat, Charli playfully tossed her hat into the ring for the next Bachelorette, but with a few stipulations: potential suitors must pass a rigorous fitness test and receive the stamp of approval from her dance partner, Alan. ABC execs, take note.
Other finalists chimed in with their post-DWTS revelations. Brandon recounted how his wife diligently recreated the dances at home, proving that true love endures even the most questionable choreography. Danny, meanwhile, plans to infuse his workouts with newfound dance moves and, presumably, teach his son the art of the touchdown tango.
The GMA segment wrapped with a tantalizing teaser for an upcoming “Turkey Tango Throwdown.” Because nothing says Thanksgiving like sequin-clad celebrities attempting to foxtrot with a giant inflatable turkey!
