WhenThe Bachelorette’sKaitlyn Bristowewas preparing to compete on the latest season ofDancing With the Stars, she wanted to win.
So, the reality star was willing to put in the hours to perfect her steps.
Still, as she admitted toE!
Online, the training for the show was no joke.
“I’ve just been so thrilled and excited to be here.
It’s always my biggest insecurity if I, you know, disappoint myself or my partner.
The season would feature tough competition, but ultimately, Bristowe didn’t disappoint.
In fact, she won!
Meanwhile, not everyBachelorettegoes home a winner on the reality dance show.
Consider that Trista Sutter finished in sixth place (viaUs Weekly).
According toYahoo!, Bristowe is the daughter of a ballerina, and she danced throughout her life.
Whatever Bristowe did worked, because along with her partner, Artem Chigvintsev, she snagged the mirrorball trophy.
Some speculated Inaba was tougher on Bristowe because she used to date Chigvintsev.
Meanwhile, let’s not forget this season was filmed during a worldwide pandemic.
In any event, congratulations to Kaitlyn Bristowe!
Brown herself was even surprised, tellingVariety, “I was in complete shock.
I can handle more than I ever thought I could.”
And on season 8 of the show, she came in third place (viaToday).
Like Hannah Brown, Rycroft wasn’t expecting to come in first.
“When we were standing there with Shawn and Derek I assumed it’d be them.
After I realized it was our names, I said, ‘Oh, my God!
How did this just happen?'”
she said following her win.
