Cheryl Burke did not hold back when reflecting on being partnered with Rob Kardashian on Dancing with the Stars.
The former DWTS pro called Kardashian, 37 — and Jack Osbourne, 39, her partner from season 17 — "spoiled brats," and admitted she did not have "high" expectations once she realized she was partnered with them.
She made the admissions during the Sunday, December 1 episode of her Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans With Cheryl Burke podcast. Though the 40-year-old dancer was complimenting them in the end, she doubled down along the way, sharing she was "shockingly surprised" that she had such great seasons with both men.

Burke cited "their reputations, my judgement of these two people" for having such low expectations going into their respective Dancing with the Stars seasons. She went on to place second with Kardashian during season 13 in 2011, and placed third with Osbourne in 2013.
"I've done 20-something seasons, and I've had quite a lot of partners," she said on the podcast. "I didn't expect to have such a great season like I did with Jack Osbourne and Rob Kardashian." Once she put her preconceptions aside, Burke said the two men were two of her favorite dance partners, with whom she "had the most fun."
Reflecting back on Dancing with the Stars seasons 11 and 13, Burke added, "But these two men, they're totally not what you would expect ... I just love the fact that we got along, and they didn't take themselves too seriously."
Ahead of the finale in 2011 — and after scoring a 30 out of 30 on his and Burke's freestyle dance — Kardashian gushed about what it meant to get a perfect score, saying he even "just shocked myself."
"It really just makes you realize that you can do something if you put your mind to it because I'm definitely not the dancer until doing this show," Kardashian shared at the time. "It really just gave me more confidence and shows that if you really work at something, you can do it.
