A new leaderboard topper emerged in The Traitors Season 3 winner Dylan Efron, who received the highest score of the season thus far with his pro partner Daniella Karagach.

Dylan and Danielle claimed the No. 1 spot on the judges' leaderboard after receiving a total of 36 out of 40 possible points for their contemporary dance dedicated to Dylan's adorable five-year-old sister Olivia.

Carrie Ann said she felt the story in the bottom of her soul and that Dylan told made her night with his "brilliant" performance.

Derek went on to joke, "I hate you! You're a great guy, you're in shape, you can dance, and you're a great brother. Come on, now!... My guy is a dancer."

Two celebrities tied for second place on the judges' leaderboard with 35 points: podcaster and social-media sensation and wildlife conservationist Robert Erwin.

Alix and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy danced a contemporary routine dedicated to Alix's little half-sister Izabel, who blended her family together and changed her perspective on what family really means.

Bruno said he could tell the dance was so difficult, technically, but that Alix made it look natural and effortless.

Carrie Ann asked Alix to watch her arms when she turns, but Derek praised Alix for having such maturity and fluidity in her movement.

Robert and pro partner Witney Carson took the stage with a contemporary routine dedicated to Robert's mom Terri, who repeatedly lifted him up following the death of his father, the legendary Crocodile Hunter Steve Erwin.

Bruno thanked Robert for giving everyone his heart and soul through that dance, and Carrie Ann said if she ever had a son, she'd want him to be just like Robert.

The dance brought Derek to tears, and he sweetly added, "The world needs the Erwin family."

Fourth place on the judges' leaderboard went to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt and pro Mark Ballas, who earned 33 points.

Whitney and Mark danced a contemporary routine dedicated to her husband Conner Leavitt, who had quit his job to take care of their kids so she could compete on DWTS.

Derek thought the dance was so beautiful and impressive, including the choreography and the pair's musicality.

Kym called Whitney "so special," and Bruno said the performance left him "breathless." The dance brought Carrie Ann to tears.

Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles and pro partner Ezra Sosa finished in fifth place on the leaderboard with 32 points.

Jordan and Ezra danced a Viennese waltz dedicated to her dad Timothy, who decided to put his daughter into gymnastics to help with her ADHD.

Carrie Ann told Jordan that she is "blossoming into something spectacular," and Derek gushed about how the dance had a tenderness and care to it that makes him look forward to becoming a father.

"You have the determination to make it all the way to the end," Kym noted.

Two couples tied for sixth place on the leaderboard with 30 points each: film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix and pro partner Alan Bersten as well as Pentatonix member Scott and pro partner Rylee Arnold.

Elaine and Alan danced a foxtrot dedicated to her best friend in the world, her The Parent Trap co-star Lisa Ann Walter.

Carrie Ann called it a "perfect showcase" for the women's friendship, and Kym gave Elaine a tip to improve her frame.

Bruno added how the dance was "pure glamour and Hollywood."

Scott and Rylee performed a foxtrot dedicated to Scott's beloved husband Mark. Scott proudly revealed the couple's surrogate is pregnant and they're going to be parents.

Derek said he saw Scott's effort and commitment in the dance, and Kym complimented Scott's frame.

Bruno acknowledged how Scott is definitely improving in the competition but he could work on his posture.

Eighth place also represented a tie between two celebrities at 29 points: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck and Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel.

Jen and pro partner Jan Ravnik took the stage with a Viennese waltz dedicated to her hardworking "warrior" mother Maria, who was raised in Ecuador and moved to America when she was 26.

Kym said she'd like to see Jen be a little more grounded in the Viennese waltz but it was beautiful.

Carrie Ann noted it was Jen's best dance yet and there was "something profound" about it.

Danielle and pro partner Pasha Pashkov danced a jive dedicated to Danielle's former Boy Meets World co-star, William Daniels, who is also known as Mr. Feeny.

Bruno said it was a wonderful number with structure but Danielle's kicks could've been a little bit sharper.

Carrie Ann loved the nostalgia of the dance, and Derek pointed out how the dance was lively, light and a proper jive.

And finally, comedian Andy Richter and pro partner Emma Slater landed in tenth -- and last -- place on the leaderboard after they received 24 points from the judges for their salsa dedicated to Andy's sweet young daughter Cornelia.

Bruno said not all of Andy's steps were on time, but Carrie Ann could tell Andy was starting to get comfortable on the dance floor.

Derek added how the dance was playful and full of love.
