Fans of Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) are rallying behind Ilona Maher, claiming she was the season's real winner despite finishing second. Her inspiring journey and stellar performances left a lasting impact.
Ilona Maher, an Olympic rugby player, charmed viewers with her growth, confidence, and vulnerability. Her journey on DWTS showcased not only her dancing skills but also her empowering message to young girls.
1. Her final freestyle performance earned perfect scores from the judges.
2. A fan celebrated her saying, "She empowered so many young girls."
When Joey Graziadei was announced as the winner, fans were outraged. Social media erupted with disappointment, with many claiming Maher was "robbed" of the title. Comments like "That's some b***t" reflected their frustration.

I think what makes me annoyed about Joey’s win is that he really only did it for himself (like we get it ur the first bachelor to win) but like Ilona or Chandler winning would’ve meant something more but I forgot that America isn’t that progressive yet lmao #dwts
