Who will take home the mirror ball trophy for Season 7 of “Dancing with the Stars”?

After 9 long weeks of competition, the choice comes down to Brooke Burke, arguably the best dancer, Warren Sapp, allegedly the best entertainer, and Lance Bass, certainly the one who is hitting his stride.

The three finalists danced a combined samba with solos for each couple. Warren does seem to be dancing more and actually moving his feet. Brooke was great as always, and Lance was holding his own.

Each couple then performed a solo, freestyle dance.

Brooke and Derek Hough brought their A-game in their “Grease” inspired dance to “You’re the One That I Want.” With lifts, spins and a costume change, the number was fantastic. Judge Len Goodman (you know, the usually cranky one) actually described it as “the best freestyle dance I have ever seen.”

Their perfect score of 30 for the freestyle dance added to the 28 they scored on the samba put Brooke and Derek in their favorite spot — the top of the leader board.

Lance with partner Lacey Schwimmer decided on hip hop for their freestyle dance to “It’s Tricky.” It had the audience hopping, but without lifts it couldn’t knock Brooke out of first place. Lance and Lacey scored straight 9s. Add that to their samba score of 26, and they were in second place with 53.

Joining Lance and Lacey in a tie for second place, Warren and partner Kym Johnson did an Ike and Tina Turner number to “Proud Mary.” It was a fun dance with a lot of action (including pieces of Kym’s costume flying around the room).

The freestyle dance earned Warren and Kim a 28 from the judges, including a 10 from Len for pure entertainment value. Len wasn’t in that good of a mood when he gave Warren a 7 for the samba earlier in the evening (the couple scored a 25 total).

Tuesday night’s season finale promises another dance from the couples, dancers from throughout the season and a performance by Miley Cyrus.

Plus, that seriously reflective trophy will be going home with one of the finalists.
