Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko wowed the judges last week with their performance as it landed them a good score of 27 out of 30. This week, the duo performed a contemporary dance routine and all eyes were set on them and people anticipated the show's first best score.

Bruno Tonioli, on the other hand, was happy to see how much love and trust was put into the dance. Hearing the comments made by the judges everyone had their fingers crossed hoping that they would finally see this season's perfect score.
Unfortunately, that did not happen. Carrie and Bruno gave a 9 while Len gave an 8. Which made them get a total score of 26 out of 30. Despite these scores, fans too were mesmerized by the performance.
