After the long wait and tough rehearsals for the contestants finally the suspense was over on Tuesday when winner was announced. All the three finalists Brooke, Lance, and Warren were the best and it was anyone's game. Brooke Burke was the lucky name who won the crown this season. "It was really trying," Burke told PEOPLE, "physically, emotionally, you name it." Once their names were announced, the usually composed Burke let the tears flow freely. "I think the emotional release was surreal," a misty-eyed Burke gushed, "While we were standing up there, I said to Derek, ‘I can't feel my feet!'
She wasn't the only one crying in the ballroom as the silver confetti rained down on the reigning DWTS couple. "It's almost like you're out there with her," said Charvet, her fiancée. "I had so much faith in her, but I didn't think that she could achieve what she ended up achieving this year. She bluffed me completely and she continues to leave me speechless."
