It was pretty much a five-way tie going into the semi-finals

It was almost a five-way tie heading into tonight's semi-finals on Dancing With the Stars—but that doesn't mean it hurts any less that we had to lose not one but TWO couples after such a solid night of dancing.

It hurt pretty badly, to be honest.

Everyone brought their A-game, but unfortunately, despite Antonio Brown losing his shirt (we hope he never finds it again) and Wanya Morris continuing to be an awesome bundle of positive, happy energy, both of them went home.

That means we'll see Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd, Ginger Zee and  Val Chmerkovskiy, and Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas competing for the Mirrorball Trophy in next week's finals.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, though, here's how everyone did in the semi-finals.

10. Antonio Brown and Sharna Burgess, dancing with Hayley Erbert: 27/30

It's not like there was anything bad about this, but they've been much more impressive in the past.

9. Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy, dancing with Artem Chigvintsev: 27/30

This was fine, but certainly nothing too outstanding.

8. Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd, dancing with Jenna Johnson: 27/30

Nyle seemed a little more frazzled than usual, but it was super cute. Len said it got a bit hectic and they were out of sync a bit—which was definitely obvious.

ABC

7. Antonio and Sharna: 28/30

Bruno is all of us seeing Antonio shirtless: "You are a magnificent beast," he said. Yep. Not mad about it, Antonio! Not mad.

ABC

6. Ginger and Val: 29/30

Yes. Great job, keep on keepin' on, Ginger. Hi, Leona Lewis!

5. Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas: 29/30

Ummmm Len said this Argentine tango, where Paige and Mark gradually undressed each other in one of the sexiest dances that has ever graced primetime television, maybe got a little too "hot and spicy." LEN ARE YOU CRAZY?!

ABC

4. Wanya Morris and Lindsay Arnold, dancing with Witney Carson: 30/30

It didn't seem like Wanya actually did that much dancing, did it? But what he did do, he did well. And the judges loved it, which is what matters.

ABC

3. Wanya and Lindsay: 30/30

How can you not love Wanya? He seems like the best dude. And his Charleston was AWESOME. Plus he twerked.

ABC

2. Paige and Mark, dancing with Alan Bersten: 30/30

This was a SUPER sexy peacock samba, and the judges totally loved it. Paige and Alan kept saying they were just friends, but there was some adorable competition between him and Mark—and Alan got incredibly flustered when Erin asked him directly about his chemistry with Paige.

ABC

1. Nyle and Peta: 30/30

Oh, dancing without being able to hear the music wasn't hard enough for Nyle so he decided to dance blindfolded for the beginning of this one. Then we all cried.

The Dancing With the Stars finale airs next Monday at 8 p.m. and Tuesday at 9 p.m. on ABC.
