Mel B and Helio Castroneves Compete in "Dancing" Finale

Last week, actress Jennie Garth became the most recent casualty on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” as she was eliminated Tuesday night, leaving Melanie Brown, Marie Osmond and race car champ Helio Castroneves battle it out between themselves.

Although Jennie Garth and partner Derek Hough received a perfect score of 30 from the judges on Monday night’s performance, fans voted for her fellow dancing opponents and she was eliminated.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress has kept a blog on OK! Magazine’s website throughout her time as a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” and wrote on Nov. 20, the night she was eliminated: "I hate to say it, but I knew this was coming. Not that I knew exactly, but I had a feeling because Marie [Osmond] has a lot of really devoted fans."

Tomorrow night, the finale will decide whether two-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves and his partner, Julianne Hough, who is pegged by many viewers to win the "Dancing" title, will prevail over the other two pairs. "It's been amazing," Castroneves said. "I never thought I would be able to get this far. My goal in the beginning was not to be the first eliminated."

The third-place contestant will be announced first, at the start of Tuesday's show, and the remaining pairs will perform two last dances, which will help determine the winner. Most people expect Marie Osmond to take third place with her partner Jonathan Roberts. Although she has come a long way since week 1, she is still not up to the level of the other two remaining pairs.

So, it will be a battle between the sultry Mel B, recently dumped by Eddie Murphy after he fathered her a daughter, and Helio Castroneves, who seems to be a natural for dancing, prompting judge Carrie Ann Inaba to call him "ridiculously good."

"It's out of my element," Castroneves said of dancing. "I listen as much as I can to my partner. She's amazing. This is her territory," he said of Julianne Hough. "She also pushes to the limits to see how far I can go," he added. "She sees that, and when she sees I'm beyond my limits, she changes it to make it a little better."

Even though Castroneves should probably win, the trophy may end up with Scary Spice, who has the bigger fan base (further enlarged by her sultry whip act on "Dancing").
