While not necessarily among the bottom-three votegetters, TV star Chandler Kinney and NBA champion Dwight Howard were also in jeopardy of going home at the end of the Dancing with the Stars broadcast.
When asked about her partnership with Gleb this season, Brooks shared with Dancing with the Stars co-host Julianne Hough, "It's been amazing and we had so much fun."

Brooks, who appeared shocked by her elimination, admitted with a laugh, "I just said [to Gleb], 'Imagine if it was us,' so maybe I manifested it mistakenly."
Gleb, who is rumored to have been "hooking up" with his celebrity partner -- thanked Brooks for "an amazing season" in his final words.
"It was so unexpected," Gleb gushed of his time with Brooks. "I thought we were going to win. I had such a blast working with you. You are super talented and I love you."
The Dancing with the Stars episode featured nine celebrity and professional pairings performing a routine dedicated to someone important in each celebrity's life for DWTS judges Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba, and guest judge Mark Ballas, a former Dancing with the Stars winner.
Two couples tied for first place on the judges' leaderboard after receiving 36 out of 40 possible points from the judges: The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and pro partner Jenna Johnson as well as Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola and pro partner Witney Carson.

Joey and Jenna performed a Viennese waltz dedicated to Joey's The Bachelor 28 winner and current fiancee Kelsey Anderson.
Bruno said Joey had exceeded his expectations and was "the king of the ballroom" with confidence and authority.
Carrie Ann called Joey "a phenomenal dancer," and Derek and Mark pointed out how Joey was smooth and had musicality on the dance floor.
Danny and Witney took the stage with a contemporary routine dedicated to Danny's college football coach, Mike Leach, who recently passed away.
Carrie Ann called the dance "a breakthrough" for Danny because it felt honest.

Derek thanked Danny for committing to an artwork he loves, and Mark complimented Danny's strength and control in the lift sections.
Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik and pro partner Rylee Arnold finished in third place on the judges' leaderboard with 33 points for their Argentine tango, which Stephen had dedicated to men's gymnastics.
"Now we are in business! Now you have the determination. You were focused and something changed!... You were in character," Bruno shouted at Stephen.
Carrie Ann said Stephen brought a new intensity to the dance floor, and Derek said he definitely stepped it up at the right point in the Dancing with the Stars competition.
Fourth place represented a tie for a whopping five celebrities at 32 points on the leaderboard.

The celebrities who tied for fourth place were Brooks, Chandler, The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks.
Brooks and Gleb danced a salsa dedicated to the model's three younger sisters with whom she had the best childhood. Brooks' sisters also helped her through her recent divorce.
Carrie Ann said Brooks finished her moves, danced in a powerful way and stayed grounded.
Derek gushed about Brooks' amazing talent, and Mark said Brooks has all of the elements to be a really great dancer.
Chandler and pro partner Brandon Armstrong performed a contemporary routine dedicated to Chandler's beloved mother.
Derek said Chandler had the most gorgeous leg extension and contractions in her center but there was a wobble in the lift and the side-by-side moves were a little out of sync.
Mark and Carrie Ann asked Chandler to dig deeper and establish more of a connection with Brandon going forward.
Ilona and pro partner Alan Bersten took the stage with a rumba routine dedicated to Ilona's Olympic rugby teammates.
Carrie Ann said Ilona tapped into her femininity and the performance was delicate and soft.
Derek saw a sense of detail and determination in every movement, and the judges agreed the performance was graceful and beautiful.
Phaedra and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy danced a rumba dedicated to the reality TV star's mother for all the sacrifices she had made.

Bruno held Phaedra's hands and told her that she had made the moment real and genuine. Carrie Ann noticed a lightness about Phaedra as she told a story this week.
Derek actually broke his "5" paddle in half, symbolizing that the shockingly low score guest DWTS judge Gene Simmons had given Phaedra last week certainly no long applies.
And Jenn and pro partner Sasha Farber took the stage with a 32-point worthy foxtrot routine that Jenn dedicated to singer Taylor Swift, who had helped her through her rough childhood.
Derek thought it was a "beautiful" dance and that she had improved a lot. He advised her, however, to tighten her turns and drop her shoulder.
Bruno gushed about Jenn moving with a "swiftness" and for being able to keep up with Sasha.
And finally, Dwight and pro partner Daniella Karagach landed in ninth -- and last -- place on the judges' leaderboard with 29 points for their rumba routine.
Dwight dedicated the rumba to his five children ages 16 and younger.
Mark said the dance lacked a little hip action and was a bit stiff, but it was clear that Dwight exuded joy while he performed.

Bruno praised Dwight's soft and gentle personality but noted how he needs to let loose a little more.
The Dancing with the Stars episode also featured a beautiful performance by Derek and his wife Hayley Erbert, who continues to recover from her near-death experience of a brain bleed and subsequent surgeries.
