DWTS 8 Champions -- Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas!

Not one or two, but three perfect scores! 30 for Shawn and Mark's cha cha cha, 30 for Melissa and Tony's samba, and 30 for Gilles and Cheryl's Argentine tango. Amazing!

With each of the couple's last dances I found myself thinking, "I want them to win!" They were all so fabulous.

But, in the closest vote in Dancing With the Stars history, the most mirrored trophy in America went to Shawn and Mark!!!
I expect there will be some complaints from viewers who thought Gilles and Cheryl had the mirror-ball in the bag, but I loved the reactions when Shawn and Mark won. Not only Shawn and Mark's obvious shock, but Gilles and Cheryl's proud smiles as they congratulated them.

It was a great finale with wonderful performances by all the couples, from the first to be eliminated on through the three finalists.

This was a wonderful season and I can't wait to see who will dance in Season 9! (Nathan Fillion is my personal dream pick!)

Congratulations Shawn and Mark!
