During Monday night's performance show on ABC, the America's Next Top Model winner and Sharna finished in first place on the leaderboard with 37 out of 40 points from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman -- who gave the first 10 of the season -- Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and guest judge Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Nyle, who was originally paired with Peta Murgatroyd, and Sharna performed a Viennese waltz.

Switch-Up Week forces each celebrity to rehearse and perform a routine with a brand new pro dancer within a four-day period. The twist takes the celebrities and pros out of their comfort zones and really puts their skills to the test. The season's original celebrity and professional pairings will resume next week.

Fuller House star Jodie Sweetin, who was originally paired with Keo Motsepe, danced a paso doble with Val Chmerkovskiy. The couple finished in second place on the judges' leaderboard with 35 total points.

Third place on the leaderboard went to GMA meteorologist Ginger Zee, who was originally paired with Val, and Mark Ballas. The pair earned 32 points for their salsa routine.

UFC fighter Paige VanZant, who was originally paired with Mark, landed in fourth place on the judges' leaderboard at 31 points after she danced the rumba with Sasha Farber.

Wanya Morris, who was originally paired with Lindsay Arnold, and Witney Carson took the stage with a tango routine that received 30 points from the judges. They therefore landed in fifth place on the leaderboard.

Sixth place went to NFL player and Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, who was originally paired with Witney, and his temporary pro partner Lindsay. They danced the jive and earned 29 points from the judges.

Two couples tied for seventh place at 28 points on the judges' leaderboard: The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Fields and Keo as well as retired NFL quarterback Doug Flutie and temporary partner Peta.

Kim, who was originally paired with Sasha, performed the Viennese waltz with Keo. Doug, who was originally paired with Karina Smirnoff, and Peta danced a tango routine.

NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, who was originally paired with Sharna, took the stage with Karina. The couple landed in ninth -- and last -- place on the leaderboard after dancing a 26-point worthy cha cha routine.

The judges' scores and home viewer votes from Monday night's performance show will be combined with last week's scores and votes to determine which couple will be eliminated during the next April 25 Dancing with the Stars broadcast.
