As one of the members of Team Bruno on ABC's Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann, Kelsey Bourg is expected to encounter more opportunities as part of the winning group that has been awarded a recording contract with Hollywood Records.  However, triumph and fame haven't sunk in just yet for this dance teacher from West Monroe, Louisiana.

"It hasn't fully gotten into my head that we won and that all the hard work has finally paid off," Bourg said.

In most competitions, winners are expected to be thrilled, while those who lost are likely to sulk in disappointment.  But not for Carrie Ann Inaba, who was on the losing side in the two-hour final episode of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann, which aired on February 18.

We've heard Bruno Tonioli's winning team and even their families' sentiments.  Now, it's time to hear what Carrie Ann Inaba has to say about her team's fate on the competitive series.

It might be hard for the average viewer to get very excited about the results of Dance War. The show premiered to mixed reviews, with the general response that the show felt lackluster indicating that it might seem more like a hastily-prepared writers' strike product than a genuinely engaging talent contest like American Idol.

Competitions like Dance War, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance and Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious certainly build anticipation throughout the season by hyping how “life-changing” a win could be for the selected contestant. And certainly, some American Idol contestants have moved on to legitimate recording careers, and the cash and validation that come from a win would likely be welcome to almost any performer's life. But as some viewers have wondered, does a win on a show like Dance War really mean anything in the long run?

Well, it might not be a guaranteed fast track to fame, but for the families of the four Team Bruno members, the win is reason enough to celebrate.

Carrie Ann Inaba's singing and dancing team suffered their first loss last week on Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann. This brings the score to Carrie Ann 2, Bruno 1. The two teams face off for the last time on tonight's season finale, and the winning team will be awarded with a contract with Hollywood Records. Will it be Carrie Ann's team, consisting of Elizabeth, Mariel, Chris, Qis and Bradley? Or will it be Bruno Tonioli's team, consisting of Kelsey, Phillip, Zack and Lacey?

Well, we can't find out until we wade through a seemingly never-ending recap of the previous six weeks. While I watch the recap, I'm struck by the difference in attractiveness between the two groups. Bruno clearly has the more TV-pretty team.

She started out as a Fly Girl on In Living Color, and Carrie Ann Inaba now has started a new career as a reality star of Dance Wars and Dancing with the Stars. Throughout her different roles in the entertainment industry, she's had the opportunity to open doors and broaden perceptions about Asian-Americans, and she recently shared her perspective on this aspect of her career.

For one thing, it sounds like being a role model wasn't exactly her first expectation back when she did land that role on In Living Color, but she quickly learned based on the feedback from fans.

Last week, on a country-themed Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann, Bruno Tonioli's team failed to curry as many votes as Carrie Ann Inaba's team did, and thus, they lost another talented member in Tony. So far, Carrie Ann's team remains unscathed, still consisting of the six original members: Elizabeth, Mariel, Allysa, Chris, Qis and Bradley. Unfortunately, Bruno's team was on the chopping block twice, and his ranks now only include Kelsey, Phillip, Zack and Lacey.

So far, the score is Carrie Ann 2, Bruno 0. What will tonight bring?
