And the winner of Dancing With The Stars this season is...
Shawn Johnson - the +200 underdog at BetUS.com. She started out the season as the favorite.
There was less than 1 percent separating Shawn Johnson and Gilles Marini.
Shawn Johnson is the 2008 Olympic women's balance beam gold medalist, the individual all-around silver medalist, the 2007 all-around World Champion, and the 2007 and 2008 U.S. all-around champion.
Marini is a French actor from Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. He was made the new favorite after the season had begun and remained in the role leading into the final where BetUS.com had him at -200 odds.
The first elimination was of Melissa Rycroft, who fell short of first place by two points in the judging Monday night.
Rycroft is a sales representative from Dallas, Texas, and former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. She participated as a contestant on the thirteenth season of ABC's The Bachelor and CMT reality TV series Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.
Rycroft was named to People magazine's list of World's Most Beautiful People 2009 and was also named as #99 on Maxim's list of Hot 100 2009.
