Dancing with the Stars: Who Deserves to Win?

Week after week, waltz after waltz, they've vied for the mirror ball trophy on Dancing with the Stars.

But now that the competition is down to the final three couples – Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff and Ricki Lake and Derek Hough – ballroom results are just a quickstep away.

Last week's show, which saw the departure of Hope Solo and her partner Maksim Chmerkovksiy, was a night of a highs and lows.

Lake and Hough's sleek samba earned them a perfect 30-point performance, and Kardashian also danced his way to the top, earning his first 10 with Burke for their rump-shaking performance.



Meanwhile, fan favorite Martinez, just a week after hitting perfection, had one of his worst nights in the ballroom due to a twisted ankle.

"I think it's going to be one of those finales where we don't know what's going to happen," co-host Brooke Burke Charvet previously told PEOPLE of this week's big two-night finale.
