Watch: Jana Kramer Sounds Off on Her "DWTS" Journey

Jana Kramer's Dancing With the Stars journey has come to an end, but what an "amazing journey" it was. The actress-singer and professional dance partner Gleb Savchenko were eliminated on night one of the season 23 finale. Their tango to "Stay the Night" by Zedd feat. Hayley Williams netted a 35 out of 40 and their freestyle number to Sia's "Unstoppable" got 36 out of 40 from the four judges.

"We did so many amazing dances, I shared so many awesome stories and hopefully reached a lot of people out there and inspired them. And I have a great partner, so I'm happy. It's awesome," Jana told E! News after her elimination.

Jana and Gleb went into the finals a little under the weather—Gleb had the flu (and still has it). "I feel great," he told us. "I feel much better."

"He's such a liar," Jana joked.

The two were also impacted by Gleb's knee injury earlier in the competition. Now Calvin Johnson Jr., Laurie Hernandez and James Hinchcliffe remain in the running for the Mirrorball Trophy. But what's next for Jana? A Thanksgiving feast for the ages.

"My grandpa's stuffing is going to be annihilated," she told us. "I've already told him to make double because I get to eat at least one bowl by myself."

Will she keep dancing? Watch the video above to find out.

Dancing With the Stars season 23 finale continues Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
