Who won Dancing with the Stars 2008 for season 7? Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer, Brooke Burke and Derek Hough or Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson? Well, the answer to that question will be revealed tomorrow (on this page) as the winners are announced on live television, ending another edition of 'Dancing with the Stars' with what host Tom Bergeron aptly described as "the most closely contested finals ever."
Indeed, he was right. This is the most closely contested finals we have seen. Though it looked like Brooke Burke and partner Derek Hough would sail on through the end of the season, Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer had other plans. Bass and Schwimmer turned up the heat as the season was winding up, wresting the lead from Brooke and Derek in the process. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that this finals is all but a two-pair race. Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson have been consistent with their performances as well and could end up winning the top prize tomorrow. But I think voters are more focused on the
Lance/Lacey and Brooke/Derek rivalry (no matter what the judges say) and it is safe to assume that one of these pairs will walk off with the title and trophy tomorrow.
I, personally, am rooting for the Brooke Burke because I think she and Derek consistently delivered week after week. I'm no dancing expert but I like the chemistry between the two, and their moves are quite fluid as well. It's obvious that Brooke really wants to win this one and it shows in how determined she has performed in the past nineteen weeks. And she looks awesome out there too - a plus factor in my book. He he. Every week, as I scoured the web for the latest videos of their performances i always look forward to what Brooke would be wearing, or more correctly, how much less she would be wearing. It may not be one of the criteria for judging, but certainly those sexy outfits get my vote every time. But then again, anything Brooke wears is sexy! He he.
I have never been a good dancer. In fact, I can hardly dance for I was born with the proverbial two left feet. Sure, I can groove to the latest tunes but give me a partner and I'm lost, especially if it requires some swinging, swaying, lifting and synchronized steps. Maybe that's one reason why I watch 'Dancing with the Stars'. Though I'm not exactly a fan of these celebrities, I find it fun (and inspiring) watching these non-dancers compete and learn week after week, almost mastering their new-found skill by season's end. Maybe I'm not hopeless after all.
My predictions for tomorrow? Brooke Burke and Derek Hough for the win, followed by Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer and Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson. But who knows, Warren and Kym may still end up winning and that's fine by me. At least it's not Cloris Leachman!!
Here are videos of the three pairs' finals performances for those who missed it tonight. Tomorrow's results and videos will be posted here as well so do come back.2008 Dancing with the Stars Season 7 Finals Performance Videos
