I Was rooting for her!!!! Brooke Burke waltzed away with the mirror ball trophy on the "Dancing with the Stars" finale.
The 37-year-old TV personality and mother of four dominated the seventh season of the popular ABC dancing competition and bested former NFL player Warren Sapp and former 'NSync member Lance Bass during the Tuesday night finale, in which she reprised an emotional Viennese waltz routine that earned her a perfect score from the show's panel of judges.
"Unbelievable," was all Burke could muster after winning amid a flurry a confetti.
From the outset, the slinky former host of E!'s "Wild On" and CBS' "Rock Star" commanded the ballroom this season, coming in first place eight out of 10 times and receiving a 10 — the judges' top score — 16 times. Burke was crowned the latest "Dancing with the Stars" champion after the judges' scores — 88 out of 90 — were combined with viewers' votes.Britney Spears Rolling Stone Cover, On Prince William Penis expose, Shane Mercado Does Beyonce Single Ladies
