And then there were three. Ralph Machcio was axed from the Dancing With the Stars semifinals on Tuesday night’s results show. The results were not surprising, as the Karate Kid actor continues to nurse a knee injury that made it difficult for him and partner Karina Smirnoff to dance to their fullest potential.

But it's not to say that they didn't put in the work. According to judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Len Goodman, their final dance – a tango – was “sharp and precise,” but “didn’t really smolder.”

The remaining contestants that will appear in Monday’s finale are Kirstie Alley and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Disney actress Chelsea Kane and partner Mark Ballas, and football champ Hines Ward and partner Kym Johnson. The winner will be revealed Tuesday during the final results show.
