Ralph Macchio may have started out as the frontrunner in Season 12 of Dancing With The Stars, but his performances have slipped and he was elimated from the show last night.

Now only Kirstie Alley, Hines Ward, and Chelsea Kane are left to compete for the coveted Mirror Ball!

After the final four competed in the semi-finals of Dancing With The Stars last night, Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas ended up atop the leader board with the highest score while Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff earned the lowest and were eliminated. “I will never forget how the fans have driven us through every week,” Macchio said, following the announcement. “It inspired me. I would run here every Monday for us to present what we worked on.” The three finalists will each perform two dances on Monday’s episode. A new champ will be crowned on May 24.
