Dancing
with the Stars (DWTS) is one of ABC’s highest-rated reality shows, and just
wrapped up its fifteenth season. What made this season so special and fun was
that fan favorite celebrities from previous seasons were brought to strut their
stuff on the dance floor once again—with a professional partner.

| DWTS, Melissa Rycroft |
After the
glitz and glam subsided, in the end, Melissa Rycroft—a correspondent for Good
Morning America and Entertainment Tonight—and her pro-dance partner Tony
Dovoloni emerged the winners of Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars.
The duo—who
was also paired up when Rycroft first competed in Season 8—received DWTS’s
coveted glimmer-ball trophy.
Just two
days after her exciting November 2012 victory, the ever-cheerful Rycroft spoke
with A Distinctive Style once again from her Dallas home about the entire
experience—and how she went from feeling like an underdog to a top cat!
“I’ve Grown”
“It just doesn’t feel real—I
still have to tell myself I won,” she gushes. “The first time I was on the
show, right after I was on The Bachelor Season 13, I was very guarded. I
sometimes feel when I watch clips from my Season 8, I look like a little girl;
my eyes are so big....” Her voice trails off, remembering. “It’s been three and
a half years since then. Now, I have a husband, a child. (Husband Tye
Strickland is an insurance agent; the couple has a young daughter, Ava) I’ve grown
up a lot since then, and this time around, Tony (Dovoloni) and I had more fun
with it all. Plus, you have a different type of freedom on DWTS. Unlike The
Bachelor, cameras aren’t with you twenty-four seven. They’re there when you
practice, but you have your own life.”
