NFL football star Hines Ward and professional partner Kym Johnson topped Dancing with the Stars' judging leaderboard for the third time in five weeks during Monday night's broadcast of the twelfth season's fifth performance show.
Three couples finished tied for second place on the judges' leaderboard with 26 points each: WWE wrestler Chris Jericho and partner Cheryl Burke, Disney Channel star Chelsea Kane and partner Mark Ballas, and rapper Romeo and partner Chelsie Hightower.
Jericho and Burke performed a Viennese waltz, while Kane and Ballas danced a samba and Romeo and Hightower performed a foxtrot.
Actress and former Kirstie Alley's Big Life star Kirstie Alley and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy finished in fifth place on the leaderboard after they performed a foxtrot which received 23 points from the judges.
