Rumer Willis Wins "Dancing with the Stars"
After an emotional and incredible 10th anniversary season, Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy became Dancing with the Stars champions! The DWTS season 20 finale featured sensational dancing from Noah Galloway & Sharna Burgess and Riker Lynch & Allison Holker, but in the end, the combined judges' scores and fan votes gave the coveted Gold Mirrorball Trophy to DWTS Winner Rumer & Val. This time, judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Julianne Hough and Bruno Tonioli critiqued the couples' 24 Hour Fusion Challenge dances and combined those scores with their scores from The Finals Performance show for their total.

Rumer Willis and her partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy started the season with the highest scoring dance of Week 1: Season Premiere, with a Foxtrot that had Len Goodman telling Val that he may have a partner that could help him get the Mirrorball. They stayed near the top of the leaderboard for the next few weeks, winning the fans over with daring performances like their villainous Samba on Week 5: Disney Night. The next few weeks after that were a bit of a struggle, but in Week 8: America's Choice Night, they found their style: streamlined performances focused on their chemistry and raw dancing ability. Rumer and Val closed out the season last night with three incredible performances and a perfect season finale. So, for the final time this season, let's go to the scores!
