Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten scored 57, followed by Danny Amendola and Witney Carson with 54. Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold rounded out the scores with a 53.
Despite the scores, no eliminations were made. Chandler and Joey share the top spot with 58 points each, while Stephen and Danny finished near the bottom with 53 and 54, respectively.
