**Controversy Erupts Following DWTS Finale Result**

The latest finale of Dancing with the Stars has sparked significant controversy, with fans and insiders claiming the results were "unfair" and alleging favoritism on the show. The tension was palpable as Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, who many believed deserved to win, were edged out.

According to an insider, the whole crew felt that Chandler and Brandon's performance was historic. "Brandon's choreography was fire, and they never dipped in their effort," they said. Many felt that they deserved the trophy, suggesting that the show's favoritism played a role in the final outcome.

The source pointed out that certain professionals seem to get favored on DWTS, specifically referencing Jenna and Val Chmerkovskiy. Val won last season alongside Xochitl Gomez, and this year, Jenna secured the win with Joey. Fans expressed frustration, with some accusing the show of being "rigged" to favor the Chmerkovskiy siblings.

The controversial win sparked a wave of reactions online. One irate fan suggested that Jenna's repeated victories were due to being paired with strong contestants, saying, "Give her someone geriatric and she wouldn't be there." Another added, "The Chmerkovskiys being favored by the show needs to be studied."

Jenna has previously won the Athletes season in 2018 with Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon. Val, married to Jenna since 2019, has also come out on top for three different seasons. The uproar following this season's results has led some fans to vow to "boycott the show" moving forward.

This season had 13 contestants competing for the top spot, but the finale's controversial result has left a sour taste in the mouths of many viewers who believe the real winners were overlooked.
