DWTS Classical Week Recap: Leaderboard Standings, Videos

Posted on: May 1st, 2012

This is Classical Week on Dancing with the Stars and last night the seven remaining couples performed an unlearned dance and took part in a team competition.

The performance of the evening was an inspired Paso Doble by Maria Menounos and her pro partner Derek Hough. The judges deemed it perfect and awarded the couple three 10′s. A surprise element turned out to be a set of wicked fangs:

Three other strong performances were executed by Katherine Jenkins, William Levy and Donald Driver.

Struggling last night were Camp Rock celeb Roshon Fegan and Melissa Gilbert of Little House on the Prairie fame.

Gilbert and her partner Maks Chmerkovskiy seemed genuinely surprised when the judges trashed their Argentine Tango. Melissa appealed to her fan base to keep them in the competition.

Check out Team Paso and Team Tango below:

Last week Roshon Fegan found himself dancing a Jive against Gladys Knight and the veteran singer lost the mini-competition and was eliminated.

Tuesday night it was Jaleel White and Roshon performing for Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno in an effort to be ‘saved’ to dance for another week.

White and his partner Kym Johnson were eliminated.

'Dancing with the Stars' leaderboard topped by William Levy and Cheryl Burke

By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 05/08/2012

Dancing with the Stars judges' leaderboard was topped by William Levy and Cheryl Burke during Monday night's broadcast of the fourteenth season's eighth performance show, which featured the Top 6 finalists performing an individual ballroom routine and an additional first-ever "trio dance" performance.

The telenovela star and his professional partner finished in first place with 57 out of 60 possible points on the judges' leaderboard for the first time this season during the live broadcast.

In addition to dancing their initial routine, Monday night's show featured the competition's six remaining couples each picking one previously-eliminated professional dancer or member of the Dancing with the Stars troupe to join their performance and show off the celebrity to the best of their ability. The "trio dance" was eligible to receive up to 30 possible points -- which would be added to each contestants' individual scores -- from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.

Levy and Burke danced an individual foxtrot which received 30 out of 30 possible points -- the first perfect score of three 10s for the pair this season -- from the judges and then performed a paso doble featuring Tony Dovolani for their trio routine that earned 27 additional points.

Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan and partner Chelsie Hightower finished second on the leaderboard with 56 total points. They danced a foxtrot which received 29 points and followed it with a paso doble routine alongside Sasha Farber from the dance troupe for their trio routine which earned 27 points from the judges.

Third place on the judges' leaderboard represented a tie between NFL player Donald Driver and partner Peta Murgatroyd and opera singer Katherine Jenkins and partner Mark Ballas, who each earned 55 total points. Driver and Murgatroyd danced a tango that received 27 points from the judges and then returned to the dance floor and performed a jive with Karina Smirnoff that earned 28 points.

Jenkins and Ballas performed an individual Viennese waltz that earned 26 points, and then they took to the stage again with Tristan MacManus for the trio round and danced a cha cha which received 29 additional points from the judges.

Entertainment reporter and Extra host Maria Menounos and partner Derek Hough placed fifth on Monday night's leaderboard with a grand total of 53 points. In addition to the 28 points they earned for their individual Viennese waltz performance, they also danced a samba routine which received only 25 points and featured dance troupe member Henry Byalikov.

Former Little House on the Prairie star Melissa Gilbert and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy finished in sixth -- and last -- place on the judges' leaderboard with 51 total points. They performed a foxtrot routine which received 24 points from the judges and a samba routine for the trio round that earned 27 additional points. The couple danced their trio performance with Val Chmerkovskiy.

The judges' scoring and home viewer votes that were cast after Monday night's performances will now be combined and two of the six celebrity and professional pairings will be ousted in a special double-elimination twist during Dancing with the Stars' seventh fourteenth-season results show tonight at 9PM ET/PT.

Next week's Dancing with the Stars performance show will feature the four remaining couples competing in the season's semifinals round.

Tough competition this year. Just when you think someone should be out - they give a great dance.

I like Katherine and Mark overall.

Two couples were eliminated Tuesday night on the hit ABC show Dancing with the Stars, leaving four celebrities and their pro partners to compete next week in the semi-final round.

At the top of the program six couples were waiting to hear their fate after the Monday viewer votes were tabulated and factored into each team score.

Show host Tom Bergeron recapped Monday’s highlights, included the highly successful trio dance that required each celebrity to perform a routine with two pro partners as a threesome.

Special guest performer Chris Brown sang Turn Up the Music.

The Final Four heading into next week: Donald Driver & Peta, Maria Menounos & Derek, Katherine Jenkins & Mark and William Levy & Cheryl.

Katherine Jenkins Suffers Back Spasm During Sexy Salsa

Posted on: May 15th, 2012

During the semi-final round of competition last night on Dancing with the Stars, opera singer Katherine Jenkins suffered a painful back spasm near the end of her second routine of the evening.

Their Salsa began with dance pro Mark Ballas, in the role of flute playing snake charmer, skillfully coaxing his belly dancing partner from a large woven basket.

It was in their final move that things took a bad turn. He bent her backwards and cartwheeled over the top of her. Instead of springing upright as planned, she was unable to flex back and he had to help her to her feet.

Jenkins immediately covered her face with her hands and sobbed. Ballas wasn’t sure if she could walk and kept repeating “I’ve got you” as he helped her over to face the judges.

When asked by Tom Bergeron to tell viewers what had happened she simply shook her head, unable to articulate what had occurred.

The couple had hoped for 10′s but because of the misstep at the end they picked up three solid 9′s to add to their Quickstep score of 29. Their combined score of 56 puts them at the bottom of the leaderboard:

Jenkins hit Twitter to report on her injury: “Thank you for all your concerned tweets… I’m with the Doctor, he says it was a reflectorical spasm in my lower back.”

Check out video of their Salsa below:

Congratulations William, Katherine & Donald!

DWTS All Stars Week 1:

Thirteen celebrities and their pro partners hit the dance floor Monday night during the premiere of ‘Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars.’

The vibe during the two-hour kick off was anything but normal. The majority of the returning celebs either won or took second place during their previous stint so humble behavior was in short supply.



Check out the leaderboard standings:

*As it turned out, Pamela and her pro partner Tristan MacManus‘ Cha Cha fell flat with the judges and viewers. They were the first couple eliminated after just one dance.

DWTS All Stars Week 2:

A look at last night’s leaderboard scores reveals that singer Sabrina Bryan won the night with her super sexy Quickstep routine. Nipping at her heels were French actor Gilles Marini and Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson:

The two lowest scoring ‘DWTS All-Star’ celebrities managed to remain in the competition thanks to their fan base and former boy band member Joey Fatone was eliminated at the end of Week 2.

The ‘N Sync’ celeb and his partner Kym Johnson performed a Charlie Chaplin-themed Quickstep routine Monday night.

The sign that Fatone held up signaling ‘The End’ of his performance Monday was flashed several times during Tuesday’s elimination show and turned out to be a prophetic clue to the way things would end for him.

DWTS: All-Stars Week Three Recap:

October 9th, 2012



Week three of ‘DWTS: All-Stars’ kicked off Monday night with the eleven remaining stars performing iconic dances from past seasons.

For an added twist, the celebs were given full creative control of the dances.

The most entertaining dance of the evening was performed by Shawn Johnson and pro partner Derek Hough. Unfortunately, their Quickstep to ‘Hey Pachucho’ contained a few moves that are not allowed and they were penalized.

The leaderboard shows a tie for top spot between Kelly Monaco and Melissa Rycroft:

Bristol Palin had a midweek meltdown, accusing her partner Mark Ballas of giving up on her. This came the morning after the dance pro told America that his partner was definitely not the best dancer in the competition and then blew off an early morning rehearsal.

Tom Bergeron also revealed two major announcement. Paula Abdul will serve as a guest judge next week and the dance celebrities will be picking dances for each other.

During Tuesday’s Results Show two contestants will be eliminated. Bristol Palin should be heading down the road with Drew Lachey or Kirstie Alley based on performance but the women have strong voter support. Helio Cantroneves was in the bottom two last week and could be shown the door.

‘Dancing With the Stars: All Stars’: Melissa Rycroft named the winner

By Emily Yahr

In a somewhat surprising twist, reality star Melissa Rycroft was named the winner of “Dancing With the Stars: All Stars” on Tuesday night. Rycroft, who first competed three years ago in Season 8, triumphed over Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, who many thought would become the first competitor to win two seasons of the reality dance competition.

The shock was evident as confetti rained down on Melissa, who burst into tears, and her partner, Tony Dovolani, whose excited shouting was mostly bleeped out, sending the ABC censors into a frenzy.

“What a feel-good win,” remarked Tom Bergeron, master of understatement, as the other competitors hoisted Melissa and Tony on their shoulders to celebrate. Melissa had been the only finalist to have never won a previous season.

In third place? Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy, this season’s great showmance. Were they really dating?! Kelly and Val cleared this up: No. Sadly for everyone rooting for the couple, they are strictly in the friend zone.

In an apparent eleventh hour decision, Dorothy Hamill quit her new ‘Dancing with the Stars’ gig Tuesday night moments before the first elimination of the season was about to be announced.

The video package that aired prior to the week-two performance of Hamill and her pro partner Tristan MacManus indicated that the former Olympic figure skater was in severe pain due to a spinal injury.

Dorothy, 56, and Tristan had only two days to practice after her pain subsided and it was obvious. Their ‘Chantilly Lace’ Jive earned the lowest scores of the night with three 5′s.

The big question this morning — did Hamill share the news with show exec’s earlier in the day and allow them to orchestrate her departure for maximum effect? It seems likely.

There was no evidence of a problem when Tristan and Dorothy were told they were safe for another week. They jumped up and down with relief.

That all changed with a dramatic announcement moments before Victor Ortiz or Lisa Vanderpump would have been given the ‘DWTS’ boot.

Host Tom Bergeron said, “Before we continue we have something to reveal that we confirmed during a commercial break. If Dorothy and Tristan could please come out.”

Hamill took the microphone and told the audience, “I’ve taken the advice from my spine surgeon and I need to withdraw from the competition. It could be irreparable nerve damage and it would be completely unfair for me to stay in this and have any of these people go home. It’s not that I don’t want to be here. I wish I could give it my all, but I can’t.”

DWTS Prom Week Leaderboard

Tom Bergeron opened the show by saying, “This is not an April Fools’ joke. It’s really prom night.” Rocking a decidedly BIG hairdo, Brooke Burke-Charvet added, “And yes, I really wore my hair like this.”

Later TB added, “We are very proud: The Audubon Society has declared Brooke’s prom hair as a nesting habitat.”

Former ‘Idol’ alum Kellie Pickler and pro Derek Hough earned the top spot on the leaderboard Monday with a ‘Footloose’ jive. Nibbling at their heels were 16-year-old Disney celeb Zendaya Coleman and NFL wide receiver Jacoby Jones.

Languishing precariously at the bottom of the pack and in jeopardy of getting the boot tonight is country singer Wynonna Judd. She and pro Tony Dovolani received 5′s from the judges for their uninspired Samba to the strains of Def Leppard tune ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me.’

The judges seemed pained to fault her lack of talent but it was nearly impossible to overlook her stiff-as-a-plank dance technique. Unless she has a voting block willing to keep her around – we predict that she is going down the road tonight.

=============

Country singer Wynonna Judd was the second celebrity to leave season 16 of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ getting the first “official boot” during Prom Week.

'Dancing with the Stars' leaderboard led by Zendaya Coleman and Val Chmerkovskiy

By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 04/16/2013

Dancing with the Stars' sixteenth-season couple Zendaya Coleman and her professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy have reclaimed their spot at the top of the leaderboard.

The Disney Channel star and Val finished in first place on the Dancing with the Stars judges' leaderboard after they performed an Argentine tango that received 29 out of 30 possible points -- a score which featured the first 10s of the season -- from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli during Monday night's fifth performance show of the season.

Monday night's celebrity and professional pairings participated in "Len's Side by Side Challenge" which required each celebrity and his or her partner to dance alongside a female and male professional doing the same exact routine. Both couples attempted to move in sync with one another, and the side by side comparison allowed the judges to see how well the show's stars could measure up to its pros.

Zendaya and Val were joined by Dancing with the Stars professionals Chelsie Hightower and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Former American Idol finalist and country singer Kellie Pickler and partner Derek Hough finished in second place on the leaderboard with 27 points after they danced a foxtrot routine alongside Anna Trebunskaya and dance troupe member Henry Byalikov.

NFL football player Jacoby Jones and partner Karina Smirnoff finished in third place on Monday night's leaderboard. Jacoby and Karina performed the jive, which earned 26 points from the judges, and were joined by Maksim and Anna.

Fourth place went to 2012 Olympic gold medal winning gymnast Alexandra "Aly" Raisman and partner Mark Ballas after they danced a samba routine that received 25 points. Aly and Mark danced on the stage alongside Tony Dovolani and dance troupe member -- and former So You Think You Can Dance finalist -- Witney Carson.

The Bachelor star Sean Lowe and partner Peta Murgatroyd finished in fifth place on the leaderboard. Joined by Tristan MacManus and Chelsie, Sean and Peta performed a quickstep routine which earned 24 points from the judges.

Two couples finished tied for sixth place on the leaderboard with 21 points: Soap star Ingo Rademacher and partner Kym Johnson and boxer Victor Ortiz and partner Lindsay Arnold.

Ingo and Kym performed the cha cha with Tony and dance troupe member Emma Slater, while Victor and Lindsay danced the Viennese waltz alongside Tristan and Emma.

Eighth -- and last -- place was also a tie between actor and comedian Andy Dick and partner Sharna Burgess and actor and comedian D.L. Hughley and partner Cheryl Burke. Both couples earned only 18 points apiece.

Andy and Sharna were joined by dance troupe member Sasha Farber and Emma for their paso doble routine, while D.L. and Cheryl performed the tango alongside Sasha and Chelsie.

The scores of last night's judging leaderboard will now be combined with the home viewer voting results to determine which of the nine couples will be eliminated on Dancing with the Stars' fourth sixteenth-season results show Tuesday night at 9PM ET/PT.

'Dancing with the Stars' leaderboard topped by Kellie Pickler and Alexandra "Aly" Raisman

By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 04/30/2013

Dancing with the Stars judges' leaderboard was topped by Kellie Pickler and Alexandra "Aly" Raisman during Monday night's broadcast of the sixteenth season's seventh performance show.

Kellie, a former American Idol finalist and country singer, and her professional partner Derek Hough and Aly, a 2012 Olympic gold medal winning gymnast, and partner Mark Ballas finished tied for first place with 29 out of 30 possible points on the leaderboard following their individual Latin routines from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.

Kellie and Derek danced the samba, while Aly and Mark took the stage and performed a salsa routine.

Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman and partner Val Chmerkovskiy finished tied for third place on the judges' leaderboard with NFL football player Jacoby Jones and partner Karina Smirnoff. Both couples earned 27 points after Zendaya and Val performed the paso doble and Jacoby and Karina danced the salsa.

Fifth place went to The Bachelor star Sean Lowe and partner Peta Murgatroyd, who received 24 points for their rumba routine during the Latin round.

Soap star Ingo Rademacher and partner Kym Johnson landed in sixth place on the leaderboard with 22 points after dancing the rumba.

Actor and comedian Andy Dick and partner Sharna Burgess finished in seventh -- and last -- place on the leaderboard. They earned only 17 points from the judges for their rumba routine.

Following the first round of competition Monday night in which the celebrity and professional pairings were required to perform a Latin dance to a Latin song, the couple that received the highest score from the judges was granted immunity, meaning the couple cannot be eliminated during tonight's live results show.

While Kellie and Aly tied for first place on the leaderboard, Kellie and Derek have achieved the higher cumulative judges' scores of the season, so they received immunity.

The rest of the contestants, including Aly, then participated in a Dance-Off Challenge in attempt to earn extra judges' points.

For the Dance-Off Challenge, the six couples went head to head in three separate dance-offs. The couple with the second highest total score from the Latin round got first pick of a pair to compete against in the dance-off, which required the couples to perform the same dance style one at a time. The selected pair was then given the opportunity to pick the dance style.

The same rules applied moving all the way down the leaderboard. The next highest-scoring couple got to decide whom they wanted to perform against, and then that chosen couple got to choose the style, and so on. The winner of each dance-off received three extra judges' points in addition to their individual scores.

Aly and Mark got to select a couple to dance-off against first, and they opted to face Andy and Sharna. Andy and Sharna chose to dance the cha cha. In the end, all three judges agreed Aly and Mark had won the dance-off.

Although Zendaya and Val had tied for third place with Jacoby and Karina, Zendaya and Val were given the power to choose whom they wanted to perform against considering they had the higher cumulative scores of the season.

Much to viewers' surprise, Zendaya and Val picked Jacoby and Karina -- who in turn selected the jive to perform. All three judges decided Zendaya and Val had won.

The previous pairings then left Ingo and Kym to square off against Sean and Peta with the rumba. Carrie and Len voted for Ingo to win the dance-off, while Bruno claimed Sean was victorious. Therefore, Ingo and Kym were declared the winners.

As a result of the challenge, Aly and Mark, Zendaya and Val, and Ingo and Kym all received three bonus points.

The scores of last night's judging leaderboard will now be combined with the home viewer voting results to determine which of the six couples in jeopardy will be eliminated on Dancing with the Stars' sixth sixteenth-season results show Tuesday night at 9PM ET/PT.

'Dancing With The Stars' Results Recap: Who Made The Final Five?

Dancing With The Stars sent another celebrity home Tuesday night after a scorching Latin-themed week. The ABC show spared Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough from the threat of elimination with their first-ever immunity award.

Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy were safe -- of course -- as were Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas. No surprises there.

The rest of this week’s results were a bit unexpected as Jacoby Jones landed in the bottom for the first time this season. He and pro partner received rave reviews for their sexy salsa number, but voters clearly didn’t agree.

Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd were sent to the safe zone with their respectable rumba routine. This left Ingo Rademacher and Andy Dick to join Jacoby on the bottom.

Long before the results were read, I already knew it was time to say goodbye to this season’s most endearing competitor: Andy. The judges had been hating on him all along and the rest of the competitors are now just too good.

His score of 17 was so far behind the rest of the bunch that I’m certain he and his partner, Sharna Burgess, were headed home.

Sadly, I’m right -- and the pair were eliminated.

The reformed bad boy used the show as a platform to prove his sobriety to himself and his family. It was hard not to root for the charismatic comedian despite his imperfect dance steps.

Dancing with the Stars: SEASON 16, EPISODE 14

Dancing with the Stars Watch: It’s Threesome Night!

By Melissa LockerMay 07, 2013

Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars. Last week we bid a final farewell to comedian/actor/recovering addict Andy Dick, who used the ballroom as a venue to make his amends to his family, fans and friends. While it was admirable and occasionally entertaining, as the chaff gets winnowed from the …er, whatever the correct farming metaphor is, with Andy gone, we’re getting closer and closer to having a cast of putative stars who can actually dance. There are six stars left and the competition is winding down and heating up — and oh gawd, is it over yet? No, no, it is not. It’s the quarterfinals, which in the Dancing with the Stars universe means: threesome night! The stars will dance one duo and then shake their tail feathers three at a time for no other reason then to give the judges a chance to make thinly-veiled sexual references. — actually, make that more thinly-veiled sexual references — than they already do.

Here’s what happened on Dancing with the Stars:

Happiest Place: Setting a dance, let alone a salsa, to Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy” seems like a strange choice, but Disney star Zendaya Coleman and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy pulled it off. She managed it so well that judge Carrie Ann Inaba announced, “I was getting to my happy place!” which is apparently worth a 28/30

Best Foreshadowing: For some reason Peta Murgatroyd decided to choreograph her dance with Bachelor Sean Lowe around a runaway bride. Here’s hoping that his prize/fiancée Catherine Giudici makes it a reality! The judges weren’t impressed with his moves, though, and he earned a paltry 21/30.

Just The Worst: While talking to Sean and Peta about the chance that they will have to dance a hip hop routine next week, host Brooke Burke Charvat, right out of the blue, saucily said, “Swag.”

Biggest Dream: Super Bowl champ Jacoby Jones is pretty sure that if Len gives him a 10 for his Viennese waltz, his mom will kiss Len right on the lips so we can all laugh and point at Len’s uncomfortableness. The judges loved Jacoby-and-Karina’s dance to James Brown’s “It’s a Man Man Man’s World” — Len even yelled, “I was looking, you were cooking!” — but Jacoby still failed to earn a 10 from Len. Guess Jacoby’s mom will have to kiss Len on her own time. 27/30

Toughest Love: General Hospital star Ingo Rademacher whined throughout his rehearsal footage, but his partner Kym Johnson wouldn’t put up with that nonsense and tough-loved him right into a score of 24/30. Bruno Tonioli told Ingo he was “channeling Fred Astaire, but was sometimes more like Fred Flintstone.”

Most Superlative Without Being Superlative Dance: American Idol alum Kellie Pickler danced a Viennese waltz to Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You.” The dance was beautiful, but after Carrie Ann announced last week that Kellie dances beautifully, but doesn’t totally connect with the dance or the audience, the other judges seem skeptical, too. She still earned a 27/30.

Most Awkward: Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman danced a sultry Argentine tango with partner Mark Ballas. Len declared, “This is like a guy dancing with his mistress!” Bruno added, “I had no idea you could be so good at being bad.” That’s when Aly mentioned that her dad was in the audience. 29/30

Best Score: Disney star Zendaya is only 16, so the judges kept their commentary strictly PG-13 when Zendaya kicked off the threesome segment of the competition. Her threesome with Val and Gleb was seemingly effortless, seamless and fun. It was hard to remember that she was a newbie. For her efforts, she earned the first perfect score of the season. 30/30

Best Moment of the Night: A nearly shirtless Val Chmerkovskiy was so excited by his trio’s perfect score that he tried to pick up Brooke. She was having none of it and refused to budge, giving Val the serious Annoyed Mom side eye, while retaining her professional composure. Barely. Val was definitely getting an earful – and maybe even a time out – at the end of the show.

Best Critique: “Magic, with a little bit of tragic,” Bruno shouted at Sean after his dance with Peta and Sean and Sharna Burgess, adding, “I wish I didn’t watch your feet.” He earned a 21/30.

Most Insightful Hosting: When a still-feisty Sean came to talk to Brooke, she reminded him of his career arc: “Let’s be real: You went from being an insurance agent to being a dancing magician.” It’s funny ’cause it’s true!

Best Ring Of Fire: Cheryl Burke joined Jacoby and Karina for their matador themed paso dobles where the stage was set on fire as the dancers put on their best dramatic faces and Jacoby took off his shirt. 25/30 Ingo and Kym were joined by Lindsay Arnold for their threesome jive. 24/30

Most Intimidating Dance: Kellie and Derek were joined by Tristan McManus for their very dramatic paso dobles complete with lightning, fog, and red lights. The judges loved it, to the point that Carrie Ann stepped out from behind the judges’ table to girl talk with Kellie while Bruno rushed out to hug the men and practice some of the moves.

Best Hissy Fit: While Carrie Ann and Bruno were fawning, Len was working himself up into a tizzy. When it was his turn to talk, he launched out of his chair, spluttering about all the missing elements from the paso that they tried to cover with glitz. He didn’t let up, not even when Carrie Ann and Bruno started arguing. Carrie Ann and Bruno gave them 10s, but Len gave them a 7, which caused Derek to burst into laughter. 27/30

Best Bergeronism of the Night: After the big blow up, Tom Bergeron instructed Kellie to “go up there where it’s safe, and everyone is on their meds.”

Most Middle of the Road: Aly and Mark were joined by Henry Byalikov for a fast-paced jive set to “Hit The Road Jack.” The men spend all their time teasing her about her inability to count while dancing, but she pulls it off. The judges complement her growth this season before doling out a string of 9s. She is a steadily improving competitor, but she may not have the charisma and fans to pull in the votes to make it to the finals. 27/30.

Rankings: Zendaya “Perfect Score” Coleman sits atop the leaderboard with 58, while Sean “Insurance Salesman” Lowe sits at the bottom with a 42.
