I really hope #DWTSFINALE doesn't just give Kaitlyn Bristowe the win, like they did for Hannah Brown. I'm tired of people winning just because they are affiliated with ABC. pic.twitter.com/nxzaVs3bqY

And of course, there are those who suspect the voting system is rigged. Like, did they count Nevada and Georgia yet, or nah?Bachelor Nation really hijacked this show...That’s two seasons in a row now! Not cool! #DWTS #DWTSFinale pic.twitter.com/C55rz80bEM

We need a new voting system, because this is not it. #DWTSFinale pic.twitter.com/n6dRkj6QDB

[video_embed id='2083622']MORE TV NEWS: Ken Jennings will be the first 'Jeopardy!' interim host [/video_embed]But naturally, the majority of fan reactions involved the pure, unadulterated belief that Nev is the superior dancer and should have taken the top prize. Nev did come into this competition with some dance experience, after all…yo Kaitlyn, I’mma let you finish but NEV AND JENNA were the best couple this season!!!! #DWTSFinale pic.twitter.com/72JKcBpyux

Of course, whether or not Nev himself feels duped (or "Catfished," if you will…) is still a mystery, because he has been nothing but gracious after coming in second. He furiously applauded Kaitlyn and Artem on their win, and after the show, he posted nothing but humble gratitude for being included in the dance competition, whilst again congratulating the winners.These two were the real winners! #DWTSFINALE #dwts pic.twitter.com/KTJZ5RSuhQ
