Gleb Savchenko called Brooks Nader “my best partner” following the pair’s elimination on Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars” Tuesday night.

“I’ve had a blast. This is my best season, you know, and I’ve done the show for so long,” Savchenko told “Good Morning America” ​​after the episode. “Brooks has been my best partner, and I thought we were going to go all the way. Kind of bummed that we got eliminated.”

“Whatever happens happens for a good reason, and I’m excited about 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 “many great relationships” came from her time in the ballroom.

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

Nader gestured to Savchenko and added, “He is such a great 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 very broken in the next few weeks, so I’ll just dance with my friends in the club to music, which will be fun,” the model continued.
