Brooke Burke and Derek Hough Win Dancing with the Stars

Wednesday November 26, 2008
Model/host Brooke Burke is the latest celebrity to win Dancing with the Stars. Brooke's big win is no surprise -- the girl has been kicking ballroom butt all season. Partnered with the talented Derek Hough, Brooke seemed to reach her full potential on the dance floor. She was even compared to the female pros.

Speaking of Derek Hough, this is the first win for the Dancing favorite. His sister Julianne has taken home the mirror ball trophy twice and his best friend Mark Ballas was last season's champ.

Brooke and Derek received their shiny trophies at the end of Tuesday night's season finale, which featured appearances by season seven's eliminated contestants, performances by Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus, and a roast of the finalists by "roastmaster general" Jeffrey Ross.

Former pop star Lance Bass was the first top three finalist eliminated after viewer votes while football champ Warren Sapp landed in second place.
