Lightening didn’t strike twice on DANCING WITH THE STARS as Ralph Macchio (and his partner Karina Smirnoff) were karate chopped off the show, placing him in fourth place for season 12. Unlike last week when somehow he escaped elimination after coming in last – partially due to a knee injury – this week his luck ran out and Hines Ward, Kirstie Alley and Chelsea Kane earned their place in the finals next week.
The judges basically made their picks last night…Alley, Ward and Kane would go to the finals. Their low scores for Macchio basically told him that last night. So, with that there are now three left, one week to go and many possibilities.
Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas got the encore with their perfect scoring Rumba. Two highlight performances by Stevie Nicks (who performed “Secret Love” off her new album and the Fleetwood Mac classic “Landslide”) and one by Pitbull featuring Ne Yo capped the night off as we saw a video segment of what the four finalists have endured over the last few months.

A sweet and extremely touching inspirational story about 13 year old Tayla Kelly who has an immune deficiency disease was so touching it was hard to watch without breaking into tears. Then, when she came out live and performed with pros Chelsie Hightower and Lacey Schwimmer the house erupted with applause. It was such a tender moment.
Still, the business at hand and the real reason why everyone tuned into see the results show ended with a farewell to Macchio.
Now, onto week ten, the final week of DWTS Season 12. Three left…one champion. Stay tuned!’
