Its hard to believe that were just one week away from announcing the season 27 champions.
Tonight is no different!
The entire evening is one big emotional roller coaster, so buckle up…and maybe pack some tissues.

Bobby dedicates his salsa to everyone who has gotten him this far on the show.
But there are no tears when Bobby jumps out on the dance floor flocked by six gorgeous professional dancers.
Alexis dedicates her dance this week to Alan.
Hes helped her grow and open her heart and fine, we all get it.
She wants to make it into the finals and win the mirror ball as a thank you to Alan.
Its definitely a possibility.
But Im with Len this waltz needed less rain and more waltz!
And this is coming from a pro-rain-while-dancing person.
Its a good choice because the routine is very romantic.
Joe has never looked like a better, stronger partner for Jenna than he does here.
Carrie Ann notices and shes impressed.
Both Len and Bruno thought Joe just stood there while Jenna danced around.
First, in his rehearsals, he dedicates this to his mom, a warrior queen and breast cancersurvivor.
She shows up at the studio and its wonderful.
Moms, you guys!
BUT THEN: Juan Pablo and Cheryl perform and were all given new reasons to keep living.
That final gancho sequence Bruno calls out?
I had to stand up part way through it because I couldnt contain myself.
(I dont get out much.)
Len tells the pair that hell always remember that Argentine tango and like, aw, Len.
Hes a softy at heart.
And so she is!
And so do I!
Milo has a tough road: Hes also performing an Argentine tango.
He and Witney are great, but, like, come on.
Carrie Ann praises his presence and shaping.
Bruno applauds the lifts (seriously, they were great).
You guys, Len starts grooving in rehearsal and I am IN LOVE.
He does his best with Bobby, but the guy still comes out a bit frantic.
Still, Bobby plays to his strengths.
So, Bobbys improved a little in technique and a whole lot in strategy.
First, Bruno and Alan are twins.
They both sport the same outfit in rehearsals and use the same exact noises to teach choreography.
This should be exploited.
Its why Carrie Ann shows up and bestows upon our most famous ofGrocery Store Kingsa chance to redeem himself.
Carrie Ann wants Joe to focus on his breathing and musicality.
You cant hit the beat when youre not breathing, you know?
Well, Joe didnt and now he does and the improvement is apparent.
Were also not worthy of the see-through mesh sparkly shirt that Bruno wears to rehearsal.
Bless Cheryl Burke and bless this show.
Len is their assigned judge, which is perfect because Len and Keo are BFFs.
Theres nowhere to go but up with this dance style.
Len and Bruno once again remark on how different Evanna is from who she came into this competition as.
Carrie Ann is straight-up moved by the freedom and confidence evident in Evannas dancing.
He and Witney close out the semi-finals with some mixed results.
But Bruno is all-in on the cha cha-remix.
Unfortunately, Milos own judge-coach Carrie Ann thought he still lacked some control over his body.
Im sorry, what?
