Dancing With The Stars' results show
Follow the two-hour results show live here and don't forget to vote on the Star-Ledger's poll. Before the show started the thousands of voters give the edge to Marini.
Marini enters the night tied with Johnson after both tallied 58 points from the judges Monday. Rycroft, a last-minute injury replacement on the show, trails by two points. There's still one more set of judge's scores in store tonight as each gets to perform their favorite dance of the season one more time.
"This has been without a doubt the best season ever," proclaimed head judge Len Goodman, dressed in a tuxedo. "Anything can happen. It's all going to come down to the viewers' votes and these last three dances we're about to see."
Shawn Johnson goes first with the cha-cha-cha to Michael Jackon's "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)." Judges seem positive so far.
"The longer you go the stronger you get," said judge Len Goodman.
Shawn Johnson's scores: A perfect 30. With last night's scores, that gives her 88 out of possible 90.
The best Marini can do is match that score and Rycroft can't top her, but the judges scores only count for half of the final result. The viewers' votes account for the rest.
Melissa Rycroft takes the dance floor performing the samba, and gets a warm ovation from the crowd. More good reviews from the judges.
"You're samba is even more appetizing on the second helping," said judge Bruno Tinioli. "She's got a body made for dancing."
Melissa Rycroft's scores: Another perfect 30. That gives her a total of 86 for both nights of the finals.
Gilles Marini will round out the final dances with the Argentine tango, hoping for a repeat of his earlier powerful performance at that dance.
"Gilles, this was not an Argentine tango, it was an Argentine triumph," Tinioli shouted, perhaps predicting the final result. "A star is born."
Gilles Marini's scores: No surprise, another perfect 30. He ends the judging in a tie with Johnson. So it's entirely in the voters' hands.
