Gleb Savchenko calls Brooks Nader 'my best partner' after 'DWTS' exit

Gleb Savchenko called Brooks Nader “my best partner” after the couple was eliminated from Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday night.

“I had a lot of fun. This is my best season, you know, and I've been doing the show for so long,” Savchenko told “Good Morning America” ​​after the episode. “Brooks was my best partner and I thought we would make it to the end. Kind of bummed we got eliminated.”

“Whatever happens, it happens for a good reason and I look forward to the future,” Savchenko added. “We celebrate life because we are both very blessed and grateful.”

Nader called her “DWTS” journey “the most life-changing experience ever” and said that “many great relationships” were formed from her time in the ballroom.

“It just made me grow so much as a person and be pushed in ways that I never thought I could be pushed and survive,” she said.

Waving to Savchenko, Nader added, “He's such an amazing dancer and teacher and I wouldn't have had this experience at all if he wasn't my partner.”

“I feel like my body is really broken in the next few weeks, so I'm just going to dance to music with my friends at the club, which will be fun,” the model continued.

In her final “DWTS” dance

The couple were eliminated at “Dedication Night,” where Nader and Savchenko performed a salsa to “Mi Gente” by J Balvin and Willy William, dedicated to Nader's three younger sisters.

“Growing up, all we really had to talk to was each other, and it was the best childhood I could have ever imagined,” Nader said in a tape before her performance, adding that her sisters met during her Divorce “worked for her” this year and calls her “ride or die.”

Nader's sisters – Mary Holland, Grace Ann and Sarah Jane – then accompanied their big sister and Savchenko in the ballroom during the performance.

The salsa earned the couple 32 points out of a possible 40, placing them fourth in the rankings with four other couples. In the end, however, it wasn't enough to save her.
