Kramer and her DWTS professional partner Gleb Savchenko managed to land multiple perfect scores so far on Season 23, so she has already accomplished one of her goals.
"Now that we have a perfect score out of the way, it's all about making it to the finals. We are so close and it would be a shame to leave now because of all the hard work and hours spent training and away from my daughter. It would be devastating to make it this far and not get to the end," she said.
Kramer has tough competition in her way of the mirrorball trophy -- including pro race car driver James Hinchcliffe, whom DWTS judge Julianne Hough named the best male celebrity to ever compete on the show, and Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez, who consistently delivers impressive routines and melts hearts with her sweet personality.
"In the very beginning, everyone was saying that Laurie Hernandez was the one to beat. And she's an amazing gymnast and athlete and dancer -- and we've become really close friends -- but the leaderboard has changed every week and I really feel like any of us who are left could take home the mirrorball trophy. It's anyone's game," Kramer admitted.
"I know I'm not the best dancer in the competition, but I know I'm taking people on a journey with me and they've seen my ups and downs and I am so thankful for their support and love through it all."
In the next broadcast, Kramer has revealed she and Savchenko will be dancing the quickstep followed by a routine featuring DWTS Troupe member Alan Bersten, who will join the pair for the show's "Trio Round."
"This week has been tough. Gleb is not taking it easy on me. He's choreographed a dance that he feels is difficult enough to get us into the finals... [And] for our trio dance... I chose Alan because he really stepped up and was there for me last week when Gleb was injured," Kramer wrote.
Bersten was prepared to perform with Kramer live on the show last week because Savchenko has been struggling with a knee injury.
"I wanted to thank [Alan]," Kramer continued in her blog. "The three of us are dancing a paso doble and it's very hard. It's so sharp and complex and difficult. But I'm really excited to be playing the character I'm playing. She's very in charge and takes control. It's a whole new character for me and that's really fun."
Kramer added that all of the remaining celebrity and professional pairings have been "giving their all" this week.
"I'm really excited and have no idea what is going to happen tonight," noted the singer.
