Lance Bass is looking forward to next week's Dancing with the Stars finale. Especially now that Julianne Hough has been eliminated from the show.

“She was the one I was scared of the most,” Bass told People Magazine this week. “She’s the queen of Dancing with the Stars and I know that she knows how to win this thing. I love her so much, but I’m glad she’s gone and I don’t have to face her.”

Will Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer capture this season's title?

The former boy bander thinks Brooke Burke is now his main competition for the title.

“She’s definitely the one I’m looking at,” he said. “She’s been in first place every week and the judges seem to absolutely love her. She could pee on the floor and they would give her 10s for it.”

Ouch. Do we sense a bit - or a lot - of bitterness on Bass' behalf?
