Has the clock at last run out for a longtime underdog? Is Jason poised to tackle second place? Can Cristian take advantage of Kristi's weakest numbers and gain some serious ground? Those questions and more are raised by TVGuide.com's latest Dancing with the Stars Power Rankings:

The Top 4
• 57.8% Kristi and Mark, with their lowest tally in four weeks!
• 21.7% Cristian and Cheryl, who have been steadily gaining over the past six weeks, net their largest percentage to date
• 17.0% Jason and Edyta are also enjoying their best numbers ever
• 3.5% Marissa and Tony have to wonder: Now it's time to say goodbye...?

another year that the competition is soooooooooooo unfair. why do u put a professional/semi-professional in a competition? why not just tell all the other contestants without any dance experience that they will have fun, but they will never outdo the chosen one? I for one, have no intention of following this show for the rest of this season, not any other. i mean, come on!!!! a competitor that dances on skates in a competition with non-dance pros is just a JOKE!!!! i really hope that anyone besides kristi is voted the winner, but prior years has shown that a "dance background" wins it for the judges every time. i enjoyed watching those that really were learning something to progress throughout the programs. too bad they really don't have a chance.

First of all, I disagree that ice skating is the same as ballroom and Latin dancing. Len Goodman said on the show one evening that she's used to having a partner, but she does not have unfair advantage. Plus, Mark is throwing choreography at her that no one else on the dance floor could do (per Carrie Ann) after their 2nd jive. I have been a Kristi and Mark fan since day 1, and their dancing has been the only thing that has helped to keep the show from being so boring. Also, it's time for a woman to win this thing - the last 4 seasons have been men. Apparently the only thing Kristi did wrong was to say "yes" to being on the show. She has been the victim of trashing and bashing on message boards that I can't believe. Good grief-the woman is a U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist! I also want to see Mark win-he's a great choreographer and dancer. The winner is not in the bag. GO KRISTI AND MARK!!!
