Dancing with the Stars finale set

Posted by Tina Alexander - bio | email

A Super Bowl MVP and two actresses. That's the line-up for next week's "Dancing With the Stars" finale.

Last night, "Karate Kid" Ralph Macchio was chopped out of the competition. That leaves Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, Kirstie Alley and Chelsea Kane in contention for the mirrorball trophy.

Last night, Macchio thanked the fans for their support and his professional partner, Karina Smirnoff. Macchio says he's proud to be Karina's dance partner and even "more proud" to be her friend.

Each of the three remaining couples will do two dances on Monday's show.

What do you think?

Who do you want to see win the Dancing with the Stars trophy: Hines Ward/Kym Johnson, Kirstie Alley/Maksim, Chmerkovskiy Chelsea, Kane/Mark Ballas.  Take our KTRE.com web poll.
