Courtesy of ABC

Melissa Rycroft
WINNER!

Competed in: Season 8

Placed: Third

Partner: Tony Dovolani

Why She Won: Effort, effort, effort! As Melissa Rycroft's abs kept getting more and more defined throughout the season, her scores and skills kept improving. The former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader/Bachelor alum dazzled on the last night of competition earning a perfect 60 for her sizzling samba and her impassioned freestyle. The only finalist to have never won during a prior season, she and Tony Dovolani picked up their first -- well-deserved -- Mirror Ball Trophy.
