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.

Finally got my votes thru on the abc website this morning. It wasn’t responding last night.
Jennifer’s dance choice last night from Dirty Dancing and her reference to Patrick Swayze tells me the reason she was chosen from obscurity to appear on the show was to cash in on the recent death of Patrick Swayze. Don’t want to hear anymore complaints from the left as far as Bristol being there....
I never had any use at for her father. Heretofore, I always thought he was GAY!
I think they had set Bristol up to fail, with a pro as one competitor. Then they get surprised when the Tea Party rallies around Bristol.
I’m glad she earned 300K, but that still won’t convince me to watch.
Good on you! I managed to cast my online votes this morning, too.
IIRC, Patrick and Jennifer didn’t get along. Maybe they made friends later on or perhaps the feuding was merely Hollyweird gossip.
Look what Bristol has won already.
Does it even matter what happens tonight?
I see you have as much patience left as me, lololol....
Actually I think Mark values his parent's opinion more than the fans....His mother, a world renown dance adjudicator and dance champion, said in the TV Guide article that nothing Bristol did would please "that woman" (she was referring to Carrie Ann).
THe booing came from the audience when their scores were revealed. Last week the audience gave them two standing Os.
I don’t think it was tea parties until the left started whining. Someone said senator McCaskill’s kids wanted to vote for Bristol. She is very appealing.
Not really. She's done herself, her family and all of us proud. We've rooted for her and cheered her success.
She will always have my admiration for her bravery just for dancing in front of 20+ million viewers but particularly for dancing her heart out last night, after the death threats. She's one amazing, strong young woman.
I wish her all the success in the world in all her future endeavors, and may she find a good man with whom to share happy and loving life.
Brandy is looking for a convenient target while ignoring the fact that, even if she would have passed over Bristol she would only have been voted the third best dancer left on the show. If she was as good as she believed she wouldn't have been bottom 2 in the first place.
Just a reminder to everyone that the abc website is working again this morning and you can cast your votes there.
Mark’s mother is a wise woman!
Bristol has stirred up something unstoppable, rendering Carrie Ann pretty much irrelevant.
In their wildest dreams, the producers of DWTS couldn’t have scripted this tsunami!
Looks like they will be second place...not bad! I never expected her to get this far.....this was a great experience for her...a needed one. She was naive and secluded ....now she’s breaking out of her shell....
Yep, Brandy deserved to make the finals much more than Kyle did. His dancing stinks.
Thank you! VOTE ONLINE RIGHT NOW!
LOL. Oh, that would be interesting. I would love to see Carrie MAN catch some grief.
I finally got my 5 online votes registered! Only took all night! (OK, I slept in that time frame...)
I was thinking that, if the judges already know that- say- Jennifer has the most audience votes, they just might give Bristol higher marks if she does really well.
But, then again, that would probably go against everything they are—especially Carrie Ann.
