Final Finale
Many fans tuning into the finale hoped that it would be Banks' first and last on Dancing With the Stars:
Questioning the Questions
Others criticized the model for her questions, which oftentimes felt out of place or jarring:
Bad Fit
Some Dancing With the Stars fans simply thought Banks wasn't a good fit for the show altogether:
Bring Back Tom and Erin
Many were rallying for longtime hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews to be brought back after they were replaced this summer by Banks:
Bonded Together
In the end, however, people's dislike of Banks as the new host ultimately bonded fans together on Twitter:
Finale Results
There was tight competition for the Season 29 Mirrorball Trophy Monday, as Kaitlyn Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev; Nev Schulman and Jenna Johnson; Justina Machado and Sasha Farber; and Nelly and Daniella Karagach faced off with their final two dances for the big win. Ultimately, the former Bachelorette and her partner were able to pull off a win, bringing to a close a season of high highs and low emotional lows.
An emotional win
It was the end of a long journey for Bristowe, who was allegedly blocked by Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss from appearing on DWTS after her original season of the ABC dating show. The difficult path she had to make it to the stage, she told Entertainment Tonight after the big win, "makes it all so much better."
"That it was taken away, that I still believed in it, that I worked hard for it, that I stayed true to myself through it," she added. "You just never know when it's going to happen and the fact that everything just aligned for us and that we're here with the Mirrorball, like, what?"
