Dancing With the Stars Results: Who Made the Finals?
After perfect and near-perfect performances saw Ricki Lake take back the lead on Dancing With the Stars, the question was who would join her in the finals.
With Ricki a virtual lock (her scores far outpaced two competitors, she's solid every week, and she has Derek Hough as a partner), it came down to this trio.
Surprisingly, Rob Kardashian was the one breathing down Ricki's next Monday, with J.R. Martinez a distant third, followed by Hope Solo in last place.
Was last night the end of the line for Rob, Hope, or J.R.?
Hope has continued to improve, but would it be fast enough for fans given that Rob has also surged in popularity and skill, and J.R. remains one of the favorites?
The program has seen many worthy dancers set home prematurely, even this season. You just never know. So which one of these contenders got the heave-ho?
Follow the jump to see who survived the Dancing With the Stars semifinals ...
Hope Solo, despite a long and successful run, was eliminated last night.
Very few who follow the show are likely to be surprised at that outcome.
Interestingly, Hope was so torn up about her elimination that she was unable to even give interviews about departure, but we'll miss her and wish her the best.
Fond memories of Hope and Maks' DWTS performances past.
"I love them," Ricki Lake said of Hope and her partner Maksim Chermovskiy. "They're both great people. I think she did great. She came so far and I now like soccer. I never knew anything about it, but now I'm rooting for my goalie Hope Solo!"
She's certainly not alone in that department.
"I never would have imagined this when I signed up for this, never in a million years," Rob Kardashian admitted upon making the finals. "I really just gotta bring it more than ever and that mirror ball trophy is right at the end of my fingertips."
As for J.R.'s injury: "The ankle feels a lot better, does," he said. "I got some time to rest. I got an X-ray done this morning. The doctor said it's negative. Now, it's about being strategic: making sure I take care of, wrap it properly and continue to dance!"
Well? Who will win Dancing With the Stars?

I have the impression that Hope and Maks never really got along well. Maks is way too brusque, and Hope seems a little thin-skinned and touchy. It looked to me like their relationship was about to explode, and Maks, realizing that he needed to find a way to create some solidarity with his partner managed to deflect the building hostilities toward the judges. It makes Maks seem devious and manipulative, and Hope seem stupid. The whole thing has been embarrassing to watch--it's clear that nobody from Tom Bergeron to Barbie gets subdued whenever the hostilities come to the surface. Maks and Hope are there to perform, and for them to parade this little psychodrama in front of a national audience makes them both look like spoiled, entitled divas. What's the deal? Hope knew she wasn't a dancer, but nonetheless got so intense about the competition that she let herself be jerked around and made to look foolish. If she has any self-awareness, she must be wishing she could have a do-over

Ricki looked like Big Bird with fat legs in that hideous outfit Monday night. Derek only makes her look good; she can't hold a candle to J. R., in personality or talent.

I was so sorry to see Hope and Max go. Hope is so much better than Kardashian, but what can you do when the judges obviously dislike you. I think Hope and Max were a breath of fresh air and I think maybe it's time to reconsider hireing some impartial judges. Go J.R.

Though I love Rikki Lake and Derrik. I believe J.R. Martinez should win. First he is great second let Karina have a win,she is so talented and Derrik has won so many times. Also look what this guy can do. He fought for our country, took on unknown territory with acting and dancing. Rikki already had landed a gig dancing in hair spray. Give it to JR

I think if Ricki wins its going to be bcuz people adore Derek and not really pay attention to her! I think she's doing fabulous and she WILL win, I'm just nervous it's going to be for the wrong reasons! I was originally voting for Carson, but ...Ricki is next!
