Tonight is the final chance for the three remaining contestants on "Dancing With the Stars" to impress the viewers at home.
As we've seen this season in particular, high scores from the judges may be nice. But, it's the viewers who matter because their votes can make an impact.
Going into tonight's season finale are Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey & Bristol Palin.
Getting to this point wasn't always a smooth trip. There were some tense moments at the production office for "Dancing With the Stars."
ABC says a white powder in an envelope was delivered to the office this past Friday. It turned out to be talcum powder.
But, before they knew that, hazardous materials officials with the city of Los Angeles, fire department, police and FBI arrived at the studio lot where the ABC show airs.
This comes just days after the shock that viewers have put low-scorer Bristol Palin in the finals of "Dancing With the Stars," while voting off Brandy, who's had some of the highest scores from the judges.
Watch tonight's show at 8 p.m. and the results show Tuesday at 9 p.m. on ABC.

Where was the outrage when Emmitt Smith beat out Mario Lopez?
**crickets**
“Which is exactly why asking people who don’t watch to vote is like voting for a black man because he is black. No it will not destroy the nation, but what about the others in the competition and what about others watching?”
This isn’t like voting for the winner of a chess tournament or a Math Olympiad or even a baseball game.
800-868-3407
Nope...all 10’s are reserved for Jennifer....gag
Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas 800-868-3407
9,9,9
Tied with Kyle.....WOnder if the judges will tie all three? THen they can just leave it up to the public.
This was the first time I used my cell phone to ever vote for DWTS. Hmm...
They might, it’s a possibility..that way they can say “See, we wash our hands of this, the voters decided”
Was that Kyle behind Bristol who clapped and said “let it roll, girl” after the subject of ‘rough week’ came up? If so, class act.
Not a chance.... the judges haven’t been all that fair... why start now? LOL.
Jennifer *is* the best dancer. I mean, she really *is*.
Keep trying...
Her legs lacked energy but boy, her acting was greatly improved. And I was happy to not see that dang gorilla suit.
Voted by phone 4 or 5 times, whatever it was, didn’t pay attention, just called. Now on to online voting....
Just tried again from my cell phone and this time it worked okay. Double hmmm...
Hmmmm is right... I was cut off at 4 votes on both landline and cell phone.
Hi onyx!
Just finished giving Bristol 15 votes. Used my 2 land lines and every time I heard “Thanks for voting for Bristol and Mark” I busted out laughing!
Yeah I gotta admit, that gorilla suit was kinda lame..I got the idea of it but it was WAY too big for her and it would be very hard for a person to dance in that. Glad that she did not wear that thing again
From the shows perspective, the bottom line, is to have the highest ratings possible that drives commercial revenue, which doesn’t mean that the “best dancer(s)” wins all the time. Bristol Palin is the show’s money winner.
The next ones for you, Hareldo!
