In some post elimination interviews, Brandy and Maks discuss the show and their elimination. Keep reading for more details! Dancing With The Stars fans were sure they were going to see Brandy and Maks in the finale, but America voted otherwise. Brandy, who didn’t have much to say on the show that night, told PEOPLE after wards “It’s going to hit me tomorrow. But I gave it everything I had and I don’t have any regrets at all.” And apparently it did hit her the next morning as she tweeted “My life has truly changed from one of the most challenging experiences of my life!
