Brooke Burke became the third female ever to win Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday.

"Unbelievable!" she exclaimed after being crowned champ. "Physically, mentally, emotionally!"

She and partner Derek Hough got a perfect 30 for their final dance, the Viennese waltz. (They earned a combined score of 58 out of 60 for their freestyle and samba routines on Monday's show.) Those scores were combined with viewers' votes to determine the winner.

"You are a star. You proved today what you are doing with your soul," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told a glowing Burke. "You guys deserve the trophy more than anyone else."

Former NFL player Warren Sapp and his partner Kim Johnson -- who earned a 27 out of 30 for their final performance, the hustle -- ranked No. 2. (On Monday's show, they earned a combined total of 53.)

"You may not be the judges' champion ... but you are the public's champion," judge Len Goodman remarked.

'N Sync alum Lance Bass and his partner Lacey Schwimmer came in third. For their final dance, they performed the jitterbug, earning a score of 28 out of 30. (They earned a combined total of 53 on Monday's show.)

"No doubt about it, you have become a great showman!" judge Bruno Tonioli told Bass.

Though Inaba said Bass struggled with his lift, "you so deserve to be here. You never took the safe road once."

After he was eliminated, Bass said the experience has "so been worth it." Schwimmer told Bass she couldn't be more proud of her partner.

    Although I'm happy for Brooke (I thought the final 3 were all good) I was really rooting for Warren. He is like a big Teddy Bear you just want to hug and he is surprisingly graceful. I just loved watching him move!

    BLACKS ARE COMMITING RAPE WARFARE ON WHITE WOMEN. 37000 CASES OF BLACK ON WHITE RAPE VS. ZERO OF WHITE ON BLACK ? BLACKS ARE THE RACISTS AND MURDERERS. YOU ARE 50 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE THE VICTIM OF A BLACK ATTAKER THAN A WHITE ATTACKER - ADN GIVEN THAT BLACKS = 15% OF THE POPULATION - THE REAL RACISM IS OBVIOUS.

    If it weren't for Derek, Brooke would have not won. He is a fantastic teacher and dancer and so is his sister. How lucky can two parents be have to such talented children. Warren and Lance were my choices
