Sharna Burgess and Bobby Bones won Season 27 of Dancing With the Stars, and the pair have marked the end of their reign as current champions with Instagram posts. On her end, Burgess, who did not compete, sent love to her former partner before also wishing her pro peers and the remaining celebrities the best of luck.
“A year ago something wild happened, @mrbobbybones and i won @dancingabc,” Burgess wrote. “He was voted in at #1 and #teambeautyandthegeek got to hold onto that title for a whole year. What an honor it was to have that (finally) , and now it’s time to welcome in the next favorite, greatest, most deserving winner of that beautiful mirrorball.

As for Bones, the country music radio personality shared a similar picture on his own Instagram. However, he had a specific party to root for in the finale: country artist Lauren Alaina.
“Today is DWTS finale day. Last year we won this thing together. Tonight, I will hand over my title of ‘current best dancer in the world baby!!!’” Bones I hope all the finalists are healthy. And good luck to all of them, but mostly Lauren . She’s the only dancer in the finals with no dance experience . So I’m so proud of her for taking this on. And getting to the finals . Now it’s time to close the door! Lets bring that mirrorball to Nashville! Lets all vote/text for Lauren tonight .
