We're only one week away from the finals on DWTS, meaning only the best of the best were left for week 10!

Maksim Chmerkovskiy made a special appearance at the judges table to help decide which teams were good enough to compete for the Mirror Ball Trophy! This also meant that each couple had a chance to score 10 additional points with each routine!

This season, Amber Riley has had to deal with busy schedules and fight through the pain of knee injuries! However, the Glee is finally starting to heal, and it definitely showed in her performances as she found herself back on top!

Amber and Derek Hough brought new meaning to the term "jazz hands" with their first dance that definitely seemed to rub

And then there were five!!

We're officially in the semifinals for Dancing With The Stars, meaning contestants had one last shot to show they have what it takes to compete for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy!

For the fifth straight week, Bill Engvall and Emma Slater were the low-scoring couple of the night and once again looked to be facing elimination!

However, the comedian's fans pulled through for him, meaning it was actually Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani were sent packing just shy of the finals!

The veteran actress certainly had her ups and downs throughout the season, and unfortunately she didn't have her best night during the semifinals and was the second lowest scoring contestant of the evening!

Noooo!

At this point, it's sad to see anyone go home. But Leah should definitely be proud of making it this far into the competition! Congrats, girl! We're definitely going to miss you!!!

Ch-ch-check out her final performance …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We're only one week away from the semifinals on DWTS, and the contestants are DEFINITELY stepping up their game!

There are only six teams remaining and only five can move on to next week, but the dance floor was unusually crowded as each couple got a chance to pick a troupe dancer to do a trio routine!

Corbin Bleu picked Witney Carson to help out with his performance, and while they seemed to hit things off during rehearsals, Karina Smirnoff was worried that

What happens when you mix Cher with Dancing With The Stars??

We're not 100% sure, but we think that's how angels are born!!

This week, DWTS paid tribute to the iconic singer and let her sit at the judges table, which means competitors were sure to bring their A-game for the legendary performer!

In a not-so-shocking turn of events, Amber Riley and Derek Hough were once again the high scoring duo of the week after earning 28 for their rumba!

However, they kind of had a trick up their sleeve as they had Derek come out in

Did somebody say, Flashdance?!?!

Ok, so nobody actually said it. But Leah Remini certainly looked the part as she hit the studio for DWTS rehearsals in El Lay!

The veteran actress looked JUST like Jennifer Beals as she showed off her nekkid shoulder in a loose-fitting grey sweater!

Does this mean she'll be channeling Alex Owens next week? Or at least dancing to Flashdance… What a Feeling??

The fact that she's not soaked leads us to believe she probably won't be recreating the iconic chair sequence, but who knows?!

We're keeping our fingers crossed!

Ch-ch-check out the look she was channeling from the 1983 classic (below)!

There are only 7 teams left on DWTS, and things are starting to get SERIOUS!!

Not surprisingly, Amber Riley and Derek Hough found themselves at the top of the pyramid with a paso doble that was so flawless we thought Carrie Ann's head might explode!

After a tough outing last week,

When Leah Remini decided to leave Scientology, she found out the hard way just how nasty breakups can get!

And although she never named her former church on DWTS, it was pretty clear who inspired her performance this week!

Leah and her partner Tony Dovolani did a contemporary dance in which the actress played a puppet who broke free from her puppeteer, and as if the idea wasn't already perfect enough, they did their routine to Katy Perry's huge hit, Roar!

The judges praised Leah for her amazing concept, however they criticized her footwork a bit and the duo earned the low score of the evening with a 22!

These two have been doing pretty well lately aside from this one tiny bump in the road, and we're sure they'll come Roar-ing back next week!

Ch-ch-check out Leah's awesome performance (above)!
