Brooke Burke, Lance Bass and Warren Sapp brought their best moves to the dance floor in the final night of competition on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" -- but which celeb walked away with a perfect triple-10 score? We have your "Dancing" recap here!

Tonight was the last chance for fans to vote for their favorites as the stars worked to impress the judges with their freestyle dance choices. But first, it was a wild "Samba Smackdown" as all three amateur dancers and their pro partners faced off on the dance floor at the same time for their first score of the night.

"I thought all of you performed better than when I saw you dance the samba during the show," said judge Len Goodman to the remaining group. Warren and partner Kym Johnson earned two 9s and a 7; Lance and partner Lacey Schwimmer earned two 9s and a 7; while Brooke and partner Derek Hough earned two 9s and a 10!

Model and reality show host Brooke and Derek were the first out of the gate to show off their freestyle dance (to the strains of "You're the One That I Want" from 'Grease'), and the judges swooned - all three showered them with scores of 10 for a perfect score! Len said, "I got all hot under the collar. That was, I think, the best freestyle I've ever seen." Carrie Anne Inaba said, "Tonight, you brought it!" While Bruno Tonioli purred, "You're the one that we all want! It's beyond belief -- one of the best freestyles I've ever seen."

Next, former *NSYNC star Lance and Lacey bounced onto the stage to Run-DMC's "It's Tricky" to somewhat mixed results. "I thought it was very clever," said Carrie Anne, who added, "It didn't work for me" but still gave them a 9. Len observed, "I liked the fact that you did a few bars of cha-cha-cha. I was really pleased with it," and also gave them a 9. Bruno was also feeling the 9 vibe, saying, "You always manage to put creativity and wit [into it]. Very good."

Last up were Warren and Kym with a rousing version of "Proud Mary." Once again, the football great's style and enthusiasm over technique wowed the judges for their freestyle dance. "As an entertainer, you have no one that touches you," said Len, who gave them an 8. Bruno raved, "With you, all resistance is futile. Sit back and enjoy the ride," and gave them a 9. Carrie Anne also gave them a 9, saying, "Out of all the routines, that was my favorite."
