Taking defeat like a champ! Fans were surprised when Dancing With the Stars frontrunner Normani Kordei placed third in the show’s finale after a standout season and Tuesday night’s perfect score.
Even the Fifth Harmony singer, 20, admitted to ET’s Cameron Mathison that the results were unexpected.

“You're never really guaranteed,” she told ET. “It was quite a shocker for me as well, but I've gained so much from this experience. I'm so happy, and I can't even begin to express you know the gratitude that I carry and the blessing especially because I have a lifelong friend now [in partner Val Chmerkovskiy].”
But just because it was a shock doesn’t mean Normani isn’t pleased with the show’s outcome.
“I’m proud. That’s, like, my big brother,” she gushed of winner Rashad Jennings. “He’s worked his butt off. I think that any one of us would have been deserving so kudos to him!”
So now that the dust has settled, will Normani finally go on a date with Bonner Bolton that they’ve both hinted at?
“Oh shoot, I did say that, huh?” Normani joked.
The two had been passing each other the entire day Tuesday without bringing up the date.

“Well, she's had a full-on competition. I've been rooting for her to win. I didn't want to distract her,” Bolton, 29, later insisted to ET. “I haven't come up with the best strategy because we have all been so busy. But I hope after everything settles down that maybe she'll rethink about it, and I'll have the opportunity to ask.”
Here’s hoping!
