The final three couples were chosen on Tuesday night's "Dancing With the Stars," and not surprisingly, partners Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas were included.

Going into next week's final round of the ABC show, the figure skating champ and her dance trainer will be joined by football star Jason Taylor and trainer Edyta Sliwinska, and actor Cristian de la Fuente and trainer Cheryl Burke.

As many observers predicted, Broadway actress Marissa Jaret Winokur and partner Tony Dovolani were sent home with the lowest combined scores from judges and viewers for their performances Monday night.

Meanwhile, Raleigh resident Yamaguchi and her partner had a great night Monday. Len Goodman had some qualms about their tango being a "little bit hectic," but fellow judge Bruno Tonioli admonished him: "You're going barmy!"

Tonioli gave the couple a 10; the total score was 29.

Later, Yamaguchi's technically difficult jive earned a 28 and this from Tonioli: "For me, this was the cherry on the icing of the cake of a sweet, sweet delicious jive!"

The final round of "Dancing With the Stars" begins 8 p.m. Monday, and the winner will be announced Tuesday evening.
