TV personality and model Brooke Burke was crowned season 7 champ last night on "Dancing with the Stars." The 37-year-old mother of four was announced the winner after the judges scores were combined with viewer votes.

Professional partner and first time winner Derek Hough was in shock, saying, "I actually can't believe it! I really can't, I honestly can't. The journey's been so long. It's been tough. It's been wonderful. It's been everything I could ever hope for. Wow. I can't believe we actually did it, girl!"

Burke came in first place eight out of ten times, receiving a 10 from the judges 16 times this season. She was able to maintain an eight point lead over Super Bowl champ Warren Sapp. The former football star took second place with professional partner Kym Johnson. *N Sync's Lance Bass landed in the third spot with partner Lacey Schwimmer.

Previous season 7 competitors included actor Cody Linley, Olympic sprinter Maurice Green, soap star Susan Lucci, Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman, chef Rocco DiSpirito, reality TV star Kim Kardashian, actor Ten McGinley, comedian Jeffrey Ross, volleyball star Misty May-Treanor and singer Toni Braxton.

Some of the contestants will hop on a tour bus for a 38-city "Dancing with the Stars" tour. The show kicks off December 17 in San Diego.

Chris, I hope you are temporarily deployed as a military member becuase only then will I forgive your comments. If you are not then please don’t bother coming back. Real Americans don’t criticize the United States from abroad. Your behavior feeds the hate of Americans. You are what is wrong with people today. Consider yourself a Dixie Chick. Stay in your newly adopted Euro trash country. Now go ride your bike to your Paris cafe and choke on some fromage.

I’m just going to say it—If you are watching this show or any other like it (i.e. American Idol)than I feel sorry for you. You really need to turn off the TV and get a life. Did you know that America is the FATTEST nation in the world. I am an American and I live in Europe and when I see Americans I’m truly embarrassed. You need to get off your fat lazy butts and do something with your lives besides watching stupid celebrities dancing. The only thing you’re doing is making yourself more lazy and fat while making the stupid rich celebrities richer and more stupid. Think about it!

WTG Champ’s… I was rooting for you all the way and praying you both would win!! I wish that I could have found a way to vote for you both!! Watching you both reminded me of my favorite movie “The Cutting Edge”, in a wayAll those trick’s etc. I do like the other Teams as well. For Derek you have come a long way since this the very start of Dancing with The Stars. watching you then and being bumped off; you both deserve to win and it’s about time LOL (((((((Brooke, Derek)))))))) I throughly enjoy to watch this show and look forward to the next season!!

Lance and Lacey got robbed. Flat footed Warren came in second when all season the judges said he lacked technique..however their scores didn’t reflect what they said! Brooke was their favorite right from the beginning and there was no turning back….even the night she did terrible they still gave her 7’s after all her mistakes. Had that been Lance they would have given him 4’s! NEW JUDGES, please!! Or I will stop watching. This is a DANCING contest not a entertainment contest!
