As the season finale approaches, fans of the popular competition show “Dancing With The Stars” are holding their breath to see if it will be Brooke Burke or not to win this seventh season. Burke, a 37-year-old model-actress, along with her partner Derek Hough, American dancer and choreographer, dazzled both the audience and the judges Monday night, scoring 58 out of 60 points.

Brooke Burke’s freestyle routine performance to „You're the One That I Want” from the movie „Grease” left everybody dumb with astonishment and made head judge Len Goodman to reveal that he had just seen the best freestyle performance.

She received a perfect score of 30 for the routine from the judges, which proved yet again that Burke has owned the show from the very beginning. Since the seventh season began, Brooke Burke has come in first in the dancing competition seven out of nine times, got the highest score (10) 13 times and has upheld an average score of 28 throughout the show’s rounds.

„DWTS” other finalists, former 'N Sync member Lance Bass and partner Lacey Schwimmer and former NFL player Warren Sapp, alongside partner Kym Johnson, received 53 out of 60 points during Monday night’s show. Bass and Schwimmer performed a hip-hop routine to Run-DMC's „It’s tricky,” while Sapp and Johnson brought in their dancing A game on Ike and Tina Turner's „Proud Mary.”

The competition’s winner will be announced Thursday night, after the finalists perform their last dance on the show and the judges’ scores are combined with viewers' votes to determine the seventh season’s champion. During the two-hour long season finale, the couples that have been eliminated so far are scheduled to return to the show for performances. Former contestants include actor Cody Linley, former sprinter Maurice Greene, actresses Susan Lucci and Cloris Leachman, singer Toni Braxton, chef Rocco DiSpirito, reality TV star Kim Kardashian, actor Ted McGinley and comedian Jeffrey Ross.

The seventh season of DWTS premiered on September 22, 2008 and it was the first one to feature 13 couples instead of 12. Moreover, it also brought forth new dances such as the Hustle, the Salsa, the Jitterbug and the West Coast Swing, along with Team Dancing.

The ABC show’s hosts are Tom Bergeron and Samantha Harris, who have served as DTWS hosts for the previous seasons, as well.

As for the judges, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba returned to review the contestants’ performances, while Michael Flatley was featured on week six of the show as a guest judge for Len Goodman.

The sixth season’s champions were American figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi and partner professional ballroom dancer on the show Mark Ballas. Kristi thus became the first woman to win the DTWS competition since American model-actress Kelly Monaco in the show’s first season. Kristi and Mark Ballas also managed to finish with the highest average score in the show’s history, 28.3, with six consecutive weeks and 8 out of 10 weeks as the competition’s leaders, which was also a record.
