The final four became the final three -- when actor Cody Linley and partner Julianne Hough were sent home last night on "Dancing with the Stars." Cody landed in last place with the judges for the third week in a row and his fan support from "Hannah Montana" was not enough to keep him on the show.

The 18-year-old Linley was emotional after the elimination, "Words can't even explain the true amazing, growing, learning journey that I've had on this show. I can't show my appreciation any more to Julianne. I can't say thank you. I love her so much. This opportunity has been so amazing."

TV host/model Brooke Burke, former NFL star Warren Sapp, and former boybander Lance Bass will compete for the show's coveted mirror ball trophy during the finals next week. On Monday night, contestants will perform two routines and the championship will be awarded on Tuesday night.
