Who finished at the top of the Dancing with the Stars leaderboard tonight?

Whitney Leavitt and her pro partner Mark Ballas once again took over the top slot, earning the first 10s of the season from three of the judges, with Derek being the only holdout. It placed them at the top of the leaderboard in both scores for ‘Wicked Night’ – 39 — and for the two-week total — 72. Even though he only gave her a 9, Derek said,” I feel like we are discovering a star before our eyes. That was a complicated routine.” And Bruno added, “That was insanely good. It was Galinda gone ballistic. The footwork was so complicated, it was so well done.”

Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa tied with Whitney and Mark for their rumba to “For Good.” Bruno told Jordan she was Wickedly good, Carrie Ann said her dance was “perfection,” and Derek added, “That routine was so stunning.” But their total for both weeks was 71.

Tied for third place – again both for tonight’s score – 36 — and the two-week total – 71– were Robert Irwin and pro Witney Carson for their jazz. Carrie Ann told Robert, “You really took the challenge and nailed it.” While Derek added, “You were meant to be on stage. You were born to be a performer.”

ElaineHendrix and Alan Bersten tied with Robert & Witney and Jordan with 36 points with their contemporary dance to “Defying Gravity,” but their total from last week, pulled them down, leaving them in fifth place (66) when both scores were added together.

That’s also true of Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov, who earned a 36 for their foxtrot “No Good Deed,” but were pulled down to sixth place by their total score, which was 65. It was Danielle’s best score yet, and Derek told her, “I really felt you were connected to that dance.”

Who finished at the bottom of the Dancing with the Stars leaderboard tonight?

The lowest score of the night once again was Andy Richter and his pro partner Emma Slater, but that said, he got his first 7s of the season, giving him his highest score of the season: 27. But once again, Andy and Emma’s popularity kept them in the competition.
