DWTS-Who will win the mirror ball trophy this year on Dancing with the Stars?

Settled as Brooke Burke

Burke and Hough headed into Tuesday night’s show with a 58 out of 60 for their samba and perfect freestyle. They received another perfect score for their third and final dance, the Viennese waltz, keeping them on top of the leader board with a total of 88 out of 90. They also won the viewers’ votes, which accounted for 50% of their total score.
For a moment it looked like crowd-pleaser, NFL star Warren Sapp, and his partner Kym Johnson had a chance to pull off an upset after Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer finished third in the competition.
But it was not to be. Burke, who was praised by the judges all season for her technical precision and grace on the dancefloor, and Hough sealed the deal Monday with a freestyle dance that simply blew away the competition.

Background:

Background: Brooke is surprisingly fluid and graceful but Warran Sapp is charming AND graceful AND a big guy! Cody is a cute young man with lots of energy and personality. Susan and Maurice have improved as well. This week, Lance was criticized for being TOO traditional while Toni was downed for being TOO different. So, who do you see in your magic mirror as the overall winner of the treasured mirror ball trophy?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
