Dancing With The Stars Finalists Share Shock and Disappointment

The finale of "Dancing With The Stars" saw a surprising elimination as Bar Brimer and Sana Sokol were announced as the fourth-place finishers, a result that left the studio audience and viewers in shock. Sokol expressed her disappointment, stating, "I'm a little upset, but I'll keep it to myself. It's not about competitiveness; I believed in us, and I think Bar is the best in the world. It's also not about our colleagues; they are all amazing. I just prefer to keep it to myself." Brimer revealed he had been dealing with a painful injury just before their final dance, but adrenaline masked the pain during the performance. He stated, "I'm not upset or sad; I'm content and proud of the journey we've taken." Brimer also addressed rumors of a planned marriage proposal to his girlfriend Agam Buhbut, clarifying that while the fantasy is over, the proposal will happen differently and more privately.

Meanwhile, the runners-up, Noa Cohen and Eitan Krips, who placed second to winners Amir Banai and Romi Nof, also shared their emotions. Cohen spoke movingly about her personal journey on the show, particularly her decision to reveal her struggle with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. She described the supportive reactions as "priceless" and more significant than any dance or score. For dancer Sana Sokol, her participation in this season marks a high point in her career. In July, she was chosen to lead an extensive campaign for the German lifestyle and health brand BEURER, fronting their electric toothbrush line.
