Dancing With the Stars' Brooke Burke is determined to win Tuesday's finale.
"I gotta bring that trophy home! I gotta represent - last girl standing!" she said on L.A.'s MY FM 104.3 FM on Monday. "Anything can happen on a show like this. We've seen it in the past."
In the off chance that she doesn't win, she says she wants Lance Bass to score the discoball trophy.
Read what Lance has to say about tonight's finale.
He and his partner Lacey Schwimmer "have been the underdogs," Burke says. "Lance and I are good friends -- he's a great guy. And I guess if it can't be me, I'd want Lance to take it home."

She adds that she's relieved the season is winding down.
"You push your body to the limit, and you just start tearing down," she says. "We are all fried!

"As much as it's bittersweet, we are going to breath the deepest breath ever," she says.
How is she prepping for the tonight?
"I'm gonna get into a nice hot bath...relax my body, stretch out, and then it's really mental," she said.
Adds Burke (who plans to dance a freestyle and samba routine tonight with partner Derek Hough): "It's just about really enjoying it and relaxing and ringing it out. Cause we only have two dances left!"
Rooting for Burke in the audience tonight? Daughters Heaven, 22 months, Neriah, 8, Sierra, 6, and son Shaya, 8 months, and fiance David Charvet.
"My kids love it!" Burke says of the show. "My older girls are all into dance now, and my little one is like, ''Mama, dance!'"
But, Burke says, "I'm not going to miss the endless hours of rehearsing. My kids have missed a lot of mommy time, and that's been the hardest part for me."
