There was a surprise guest in the audience for tonight's finale of the MTV reality competition Rock the Cradle -- Britney Spears!

The singer showed up in the audience of tonight's show,which aired at 10 PM ET/PT on the cable network.

Brit's former manager and current friend/advisor, Larry Rudolph, happens to be an executive producer on the show as well as the "Overall Performance Judge" (There are four judges in all). So could this be a sign of an even stronger reconciliation between the two?

Britney was also likely cheering on tonight's three finalists: Dee Snider's son, Jess Blaze Snider; Olivia Newton-John's daughter Chloe Lattanzi, and Kenny Loggin's son, Crosby Loggins.

***Spoiler Alert!!***

Crosby Loggins won the competition in viewer voting, with Jess Blaze Snider coming in second place. Loggins, who has played the keyboards since he was 7, won $100,000 and a recording contract.

Crosby recently told OK!, "The bands that inspire me and make me want to make music are the ones pushing the envelope. That's my hope, to travel down that path."
