We started out 10 weeks ago with 12 couples. A few shocking eliminations later, it was down to three: Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, and Ricki Lake and Derek Hough.
So who took home the big prize of that shiny mirrorball trophy?
Three finalists are left to fight over the mirror ball trophy during next week’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ finale, and Lady Antebellum will be on hand to watch. The country trio announced on their Twitter page that they’ll be performing.
With four couples left and all of them wanting a slot in next week’s finale, tensions were high — especially since former frontrunner J.R. Martinez was off his game on Monday night due to an injury.
So did his woes result in someone else slipping past him and getting one of those last three coveted spots?

On Monday, the remaining four couples all danced two routines plus a “relay” Cha Cha Cha — all vying to get into next week's finals — and the taped pieces before the second dance showed us a little more about each contestant, just in case you need to know that stuff before tossing your votes around.
J.R. hurt his ankle pretty ba
Five couples danced two individual routines on Monday night, an evening which also saw J.R. and Karina get the first and second perfect scores of the season.
So which couples made next week’s semi-finals — and who went home?

And then there were five.
The quintet of remaining pairs on 'Dancing with the Stars' were tasked with two individual (non-themed, yay!) dances each — one deemed an “instant dance” in that it had to be performed just minutes after being assigned a song.
Who fell apart under the pressure —
Six couples danced Halloween-themed routines on Monday night, but one became a ghost during the elimination show. So who’ll be haunting the dance floor from the sidelines from now on?
ABC
The six couples still standing on 'Dancing with the Stars' had the Halloween spirit, doing themed dances devoted to the spooky holiday — one each per couple, and then another dance that split the group into two teams.

We saw plenty of theatrics on Monday’s Broadway-themed performance show. So which of the seven couples took its final curtain-call?
ABC
It's Broadway Week on 'Dancing with the Stars,' and you know what that means — jazz hands! Theatrics! Verbal smackdowns between judges and pros!
The seven remaining couples did their best homages to the Great White Way plus a group dance, and from the looks of things, the pressure is starting to build.
Here are some highlights.
Country reigns supreme once again over at ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ The Band Perry performed, and Julianne Hough and Blake Shelton graced the stage over on ‘DWTS’ recently. The country tradition is continuing full steam this week, as the lovely and talented Martina McBride and Kristin Chenoweth will appear on Tuesday night’s episode (October 25). McBride and Chenoweth will each appear separately. That ‘DWTS’ performance stage is turning into a regular ol’ hoedown, ain’t it?
Pundit Nancy Grace and dance partner Tristan MacManus stopped by ‘The Rosie Show’ to talk about ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and Grace’s alleged wardrobe malfunction.
Unsurprisingly, Grace thinks the whole incident is a conspiracy.
