The "Dancing with the Stars" finale has come to an end, and one of the most notable moments of the evening occurred when Lucy Ayoub announced the couple that reached fourth place - Bar Brimer and Sana Sokol. The two, who went a long way throughout the season and managed to reach the decisive stage, left the audience and those in the studio quite surprised. Immediately after the broadcast ended, they did not hide their complex feelings.

"We were in shock, and all the networks were in total shock. Honestly, I'm a bit bummed, but I'll keep it to myself. It's not related to competitiveness, I believed in us and I think Bar is the coolest in the world. It's also not related to our colleagues, they are all amazing, I just prefer to keep it to myself," shared Sokol in an interview with the mako website.

Brimer, for his part, revealed the drama that took place behind the scenes shortly before stepping onto the dance floor, when he suffered from a particularly painful injury. "Before the dance, it hurt a lot, but during the performance, I was on adrenaline and didn't feel anything," he said, adding: "I'm not bummed or sad, I am content and proud of the whole journey we made." Brimer also referred with a smile to the rumors about a planned marriage proposal to his partner Agam Buhbut, and clarified: "The fantasy was shattered, but it wouldn't have happened here. It will happen in a different way, a bit more modest and a bit more ours."

At the same time, runners-up Noa Cohen and Eitan Cripps, who finished in second place after the winners Amir Banai and Romi Nof, also shared their feelings. Cohen emotionally summarized the personal process she went through in front of the cameras when she revealed her struggle with body dysmorphia: "I didn't dream that I would have the courage and strength to reveal this. The reactions to this are priceless, and it is bigger than anything, more than any dance and any grade."

As recalled, for dancer Sana Sokol, participating in the past season alongside Brimer comes as part of a particularly flourishing period in her career. Back in July, the Israeli star recorded another achievement when she was chosen to lead a large-scale campaign for the German lifestyle and health brand BEURER, representing the company's line of electric toothbrushes.
