Of course, since every viewer had a specific pair that they were rooting on, there was plenty of chatter about the outcome on Twitter.
Co-host Tyra Banks noted that they received the most votes ever this year for the finalists. If you had the chance to see them in action, you’d know why. The final four celebrities in the competition were D’Amelio, Shangela, Wayne Brady, and Gabby Windey. In the end, it came down to D’Amelio and Windey, who both had perfect scores at the end of Monday’s finale. (Shangela came in fourth place, Brady in third) While it was a close contest between the two talented celebrities, D’Amelio was named the winner.
