"Dancing With the Stars" Finale- Bethany and Derek are Gone, Alfonso Ribeiro Still Injured from "The Carlton" Dance

By

This season of "Dancing With the Stars" is nearly at an end- in the most recent episode, we lost Bethany Mota and Derek Hough, meaning the three pairs left for the finale are: Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy, Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson, and Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas.

ABC News spoke to Tom Bergeron, to see what the host of "Dancing With the Stars" thinks of the upcoming finale. According to Bergeron, the biggest issue might be the still-very-much-injured Alfonso Ribeiro being able to dance a finale-worthy routine.

As you may (or may not) know, Ribeiro had originally injured himself early this season, and made the injury far worse performing "The Carlton," the dorky dance move his character perfected on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

"It will be interesting to see how it plays out," said Bergeron. "The only potential problem I can see going into the final week is Alfonso's back. He's been having some back issues and was noticeably in pain last Monday. I think all of them are definitely in that zone."

However, according to the LA Times, Ribeiro's dance moves in the most recent episode were so powerful he had everyone on the show singing his praises. Praises like:

"You set the bar from Day 1 with that dance, and tonight you slapped us all in the face with it!"

"That was the ultimate in freestyle because you threw in old school, new school, feel good, glitzy, glamorous

That Ribeiro dances "like Frank Sinatra sings."

Or that he and his partner danced "into interstellar space."

Or, that they were an "all-you-can-eat buffet of great dancing and fun entertainment."

Seriously, it almost seems like they'll be a shoo-in for this one if Ribeiro can keep his injuries in check.

However, Mercury News does add that the other couples recieved high praise of their own (especially Sadie Robertson of "Duck Dynasty"), so this one might not be an easy win.
