I'm sure you all know Brooke Burke and Derek Hough won DWTS season 7!

It was so well deserved. Mark and I were thrilled!

Mark and Derek are like brothers: Derek and Julianne moved in with Mark and his family when they were kids in London. I could tell Mark was more nervous than anyone during last night's final eliminations.

Warren and Kym put up a good fight and were extremely close.

The tension in the red room was high last night so to lighten the mood everyone brought their camera to get our last memories of season 7!

This was probably one of the coolest experiences I will encounter. I have made friends for life and I am honored to have been on DWTS!

Robin, Sammy and I decided to hit up the new Brent Bolthouse restaurant XIV! It was so much fun!

Look at how fabulously funky Sammy's style is! He dresses the Pussycat Dolls! Robin and I also ran into Toni Braxton, who I miss seeing every day on DWTS.

I also bumped into fellow blogger Audrina!

And of course, I found time to chat up Heidi and Spencer! They really are a cute couple!

Look closely at these photos... You will notice that some of the pics show my hair straight and down (like the one of just me and Mark), and my dress is a longer length. That was from dress rehearsal.

In rehearsal, my hair flipped into my face so much while I was dancing, the Dancing With The Stars team decided they wanted me to change it so you could see my face more.

They also thought my dress looked too overwhelming and said it wasn't showing my legs enough! We rushed to fix my hair and minutes before the live show they were cutting off ruffles from my dress!

Did you watch last night? What did you think of my song selection? (LOL!)

I have to be honest—last night was so hard! Standing there for two hours in complete suspense really drained me!

I watched our performance over again last night on Tivo and I think the judges were right! I really need to loosen up and not think so much about the steps as they are happening. I just have to have more fun with it!

This show is so much more difficult than I expected! I hope I get another opportunity to dance again. I am not ready to go home. I have so much more to learn!

I am doing this show to break my own shyness shell, and little by little it really is working. It's all about progress!

I really am going to take what the judges say to heart and learn from their advice...if I make it to next week!
