We finally have a new champion of “Dancing With the Stars.”
In what might have been the most competitive season yet, one top-performing duo took home the Mirrorball trophy...
"Riker and Allison, Rumer and Val, the winners and new champions of 'Dancing With the Stars' are ... Rumer and Val!" said Tom Bergeron on "Dancing With the Stars."
It was an exciting and emotional finale for everyone, including Rumer's papa, Bruce Willis, who cried … again!
But E! wasn't crazy about the fact that they drew out the final results, saying it "was a long, pointless, yet admittedly entertaining two hours." Yeah, pretty much.
Still, as USA Today pointed out, while this was pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy's fourth time as a finalist on the eight seasons he has been on show, this was his first Mirrorball victory. Finally!
But after Rumer and Val's final routine, it's no surprise that they won it all. Heavy called their performance during the finale "fierce" and "full of passion, yet sleek and elegant."
Congrats to Rumer and Val! You guys killed it all season long!
