Following their stunning defeat on last night's "Dancing with the Stars" results show, SABRINA BRYAN and MARK BALLAS dropped by Stage 28 for a visit with ET's MARY HART.
"We can't get upset about it because we enjoyed every minute," Sabrina tells Mary. "It is like the start of something that is going to be bigger and even better than we can imagine."
"It was neither of our faults," Mark added. "We just went out there and did the best job we could."
According to Sabrina, it was EDYTA SLIWINSKA who predicted ahead of time that she and CAMERON MATHISON and Sabrina and Mark would be in the bottom two.
"Edyta says this season is so unbelievably unpredictable," Sabrina explains.
As for the rumors that Sabrina and Mark are a real-life couple, they both play coy, but then Sabrina tells Mary, "Honestly, the only thing we have thought about the last couple of months is this competition. We have enjoyed each other's time. I can't believe I met him and [instantly] felt like I knew him for 10 years."
The dancing couple may no longer be in the competition, but that doesn't mean they are going to hang up their tap shoes.
"It sucks that we aren't going to do the tango and the mambo," Sabrina shares. "We had great songs and he already choreographed it. He is still going to teach it to me."
For Sabrina, the loss of the disco-ball trophy, while something she wanted, in no way measures up to the great friends she's made. She says she is getting real estate advice from WAYNE NEWTON and that JENNIE GARTH showed her that you can have it all.
"Jennie is an incredible mom. She lets me know with how crazy this workload can be that you can still have a family and be centered," Sabrina says. "MEL. B, with her energy, she wants a recount, even if it means she could go. Cameron, I haven't been able to get close to him, because he flies in [from New York] for show days, but the first thing he told me was he thought I was going to win and he just hoped he would be up there with me."
So who does Sabrina think will be this year's "Dancing with the Stars" champ?
"I feel that a woman is going to win this competition," she admits. "The women are fierce. As much as I like HELIO [CASTRONEVES] and Cameron, I think a woman will win. It doesn't matter which one."
