Dancing With the Stars' season 19 came to an end on Tuesday. "The Finals Part 2" revealed your Mirror Ball champion and it was a great episode. After Monday night's part one finale Bethany Mota and Derek Hough were eliminated leaving the top three teams to battle for the trophy.

In the two-hour finale, we took a trip down memory lane as each of the top three contestants prepared for one last dance. Throughout the night all the former pairs did one routine together and it is really cool to see how far they have all come. The most notable was Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd's dance to "Drop It Like It's Hot" with another appearance from Richard "Cheech" Marin.

Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev's routine for the night was fabulous. And when Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker performed they added Twitch, from So You Think You Can Dance it was even better than the first time they did the routine.

Musical guests included Nick Jonas, Jennifer Hudson and Meghan Trainor, all of which were fun and entertaining to watch. Another highlight from the episode was when the final four teams created a Fresh Prince of Bel Air tribute that featured all of them rapping to the iconic theme song, but with Dancing With the Stars references.

Even though Bethany and Derek didn't make it to the final three, they were voted best freestyle routine from Monday night and performed their cool and edgy dance on the show again tonight. The end of the episode is what we were all waiting for. The final three teams performed a 24 Hour Fusion Challenge, where they had to combine two styles of dance into one routine and they had to do it all within a 24 hour time period.

The panel then judged the 24 Hour Fusion Challenge and their scores were added to the judge's final scores from Monday night. Those scores paired with the fan's votes from Monday would reveal the winner. The first couple to perform was Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas.

Sadie and Mark had the quickstep and the samba for their final combined routine and it was great. Since Sadie is the only one of the three contestants with no technical dance background it was fun to see how far she had come. When they took the stage, the partner work was quick and fun and there was a lot of booty shaking, which is always a great move. The judges loved the routine and how much Sadie has grown as a dancer and they gave them a perfect score of 40 points.

Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy were up next. They paired the foxtrot with the paso doble and it was strong and elegant like all of their routines. Their chemistry shined through as usual and the romance and fierceness was clearly seen throughout the performance. The judges wanted more and commended them on their continued high caliber routines. They were awarded 40 points.

The last team to perform was Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson, who were at the top of the leader board going into tonight's finale. They combined the cha cha and the Argentine tango for their 24 Hour Challenge. The dance was flawless and fast, proving why they are at the top of the competition. It was spicy and fun to watch and the judges loved it per usual. They also received 40 points.

In the final moments, the results were finally read. The third place team was Janel and Val, which was a little bit of a surprise because they are better technical dancers than Sadie. In second place were Sadie and Mark, leaving Alfonso and Witney in first, as it should be.

The best team clearly won and we couldn't be happier with the results! What did you think of the Tuesday night finale? Did the team you want to win take home the trophy?

Congrats @therealalfonsoribeiro & @witneycarson !! Our Season 19 winners! #DWTSFinale A photo posted by Dancing with the Stars (@dancingabc) on Nov 11, 2014 at 10:57pm PST
