Dancing With The Stars Semifinals Begin!

With only two weeks left in the competition, the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy is almost in reach!

Dancing queen Ricki Lake stole the show with her first number, a samba, which Judge Len Goodman called, "Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous." Her sexy tango and cha cha cha were equally praised, earning Lake first place and a total of 67 points.

Rob Kardashian had his usual support team -- mom Kris, stepdad Bruce, sister Kourtney and baby Mason -- who all cheered from the sidelines as the reality star impressed the judges with his Argentine tango.

Rob earned a total of 65 points tonight, and Judge Bruno said after his dance:

"You started out as a goofy outsider. Now you look like a leading man - slick, dark, handsome, in control."

Blindfolded in a Zorro mask and still healing from a twisted ankle, J.R. Martinez managed to glide through his routine with partner Karina Smirnoff, but unfortunately judges called it "more zero than Zorro." Martinez came back with a cha cha cha that earned a standing ovation from the audience, and a total of 56 points for the night.

Suffering from major shoulder pain, Hope Solo totally bombed two of her three dances tonight with partner Maks Chmerkovskiy, coming in at last place with 49 points.

But Hope doesn't think the points are solely based on her talent, she told co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet after learning her score, "I think from Day One they've wanted me off the show!"
