The Final Three Dance For Their Lives Careers On Dancing With The Stars

It all comes down to this!

This isn't the final three we thought the show was going to have when the show started, but all three of them have certainly delivered over the last nine weeks. Consistently pulling in high scores - sometimes even double perfect scores - these celebs have proven that they have exactly what it takes to own a tacky, disc ball trophy and each gave it their all in last night's final competition round.

But who stole the show? Who will walk away tonight with all the glory? Let's watch and see! Check out the video (above) to see Ricki Lake take to the floor one last night and leave it all out there with a Cha Cha. Then, click the jump to watch Rob Kardashian and J.R. Martinez twirl their partners around the floor with ease!

Who do U think won the night? Who's going home with a little more pride tonight???

Hope Solo Is Not Doing The Post-DWTS Press Tour!

Hope Solo is having a tough - big time!

The soccer star, who was eliminated Tuesday night Dancing With The Stars, would normally be doing the pretty-routine exit tour that is given to most axed contestants, which includes a spot on Jimmy Kimmel Live the night of boot, and then an interview on the following day's Good Morning America, but due to it being during the semi-final rounds of the competition, the network has instead decided to promote the remaining three contestants - Ricki Lake, Rob Kardashian and J.R. Martinez - before the finale next week!

However, it may in fact be to her benefit, as during her Extra interview, she got choked up and later refused to speak with any press, which, according to her rep, was because she was too "emotional." She's returned home to Seattle until the finale.

Aww! Poor thing!

It must stink to get so close to the end, only to get eliminated!

Keep your chin up, gurl!

You had a great run, and you should be proud of your performance!

DWTS Semis: Ricki Lake Blazes Into The Finale! How Did The Others Do?

The top four on this Dancing with the Stars battled in the semi-finals and Ricki Lake stole the show!

Ricki had previously been in the top spot before J.R. Martinez leap-frogged her. Ricki samba-ed her way back to number one with a perfect score!

J.R.'s ankle caught up with him and he was jumped by Rob Kardashian while Hope Solo is almost certainly the next one to go home.

Rob got the 10 points for the cha-cha rally but the night belonged to Ricki.

Check out the video above and see Ricki sashay her way to 30 points!
