"I definitely wanted to make it to the finale, especially because last night was so great, to be able to dance with Derek again [after he recovered from his injury.] But I kind of thought last night was kind of like a magical night -- not just for us, but for everybody here," Liukin said Tuesday. "To be able to finish my experience with that dance meant a lot."

Going into next week's finals -- along with their professional partners -- are Noah Galloway, Riker Lynch and Rumer Willis. A winner will be announced May 19.
