The semifinals are already here for Season 25 of "Dancing With the Stars," and five teams are all vying for their chance to make it to the finals and to win the Mirrorball trophy. However, at least one of them will fall short of the final episode.

Week 9 of the ABC reality competition series will see the remaining five teams pull out all of the stops in an effort to prove why they made it to the semifinals in the first place, and hope that the routines they perform will garner enough votes to win them the Mirrorball the following week. However, at least one team will fall short of that dream, after their judge's scores and viewer votes from Week 8 are tallied together.

When the scores from Trios week are considered, two teams in particular seem most likely to be at risk of elimination, while two others seem most likely to have a guaranteed ticket to the finals. Fans of Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold and Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas don't have to worry about them, as it seems almost guaranteed that both Team Fish Upon A Star and Team STARK will make it there.

However, fans of both Drew Scott and Emma Slater and Victoria Arlen and Val Chmerkovskiy should be more concerned about how their favorite teams will fare. Though both Team Hot Property and Team ViVa might have some strong fan bases, their scores have been markedly lower than those from the other teams.

Victoria and Val only earned a combined total of 48 judge's points on both their Argentine Tango and their Jive Trio with Laurie Hernandez. They have also previously been in jeopardy, during A Night at the Movies week. It could mean that they may find themselves falling short of the finals as a result.

However, Drew and Emma seem significantly more at risk, as they only earned 47 points from the judges, and have consistently scored lower than all of the other remaining teams overall. They too found themselves in jeopardy during Halloween night, and if they don't receive enough viewer votes, then their most recent set of low scores—which put them 13 points behind the top scorers overall—will be enough to knock them out.

However, Frankie and Witney could also be at risk of an elimination as well. Though they scored 53 points, which puts them well above both Victoria and Drew, they have often wavered on the leaderboard with the judges, and Frankie was heavily criticized by the judges during Week 8 for his lack of confidence, which they felt was showing in his dancing. If fans agreed with the judges, he will be the one who finds himself eliminated just before the finals.

"Dancing With the Stars" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
