'DWTS' Queen Night: Celebrity performances ranked from highest to lowest scores
With the number of contestants dwindling, the pressure is most certainly on when it comes to the remaining celebs on 'Dancing With The Stars'. With a Queen Night tribute taking place, each celeb busted out moves to songs by the band. All the stars consider themselves Queen fans (let's be honest, who isn't?) and each of them were ready to secure their spot for next week. There was an interesting twist in the mix, seeing that all nine contestants were divided into groups of three and presented with a dance relay challenge.
The judges then handed out additional points to the best performances, adding to their individual scores. Group 1 was The Miz, Iman Shumpert and Cody Rigsby, all of whom performed the Jive to 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'. Up next was JoJo Siwa, Olivia Jade and Jimmie Allen, performing the Foxtrot to 'Under Pressure'. And finally, Amanda Kloots, Suni Lee and Melora Hardin performed a Viennese Waltz to 'We Are The Champions'. Continue reading to find out who topped the scoreboard and who bagged those extra points.

Olivia Jade and pro Val Chmerkovskiy
Score: 42
Olivia Jade and pro Val Chmerkovskiy danced the Quickstep to 'Fat Bottomed Girls'. Jade has certainly turned into a judges' favorite this season as they are nothing but praises for each of her performances. While fans aren't entirely of the same opinion, it hasn't stopped her clocking in praise and high scores. For the first performance, she scored 38 out of 40 and in the dance relay with JoJo Siwa and Jimmie Allen, she bagged all the judges' additional scores, bumping her total up to 42.
JoJo Siwa and pro Jenna Johnson
Score: 39
JoJo Siwa and pro Jenna Johnson danced the Tango to 'Body Language'. As Derek Hough explained, Siwa's performance this week was a 'tempting, tantalizing tango'. She clocked in a near-perfect score, with 39 out of 40 and did not receive additional points during the dance relay. However, despite her consistently high scores, Siwa found herself in the bottom two this week. Luckily, the judges vote to save her was unanimous.
Jimmie Allen and pro Emma Slater
Score: 38
Jimmie Allen and pro Emma Slater danced the Viennese Waltz to 'Somebody To Love'. With Allen being on the road touring, Slater has been tagging along, practicing at every chance they get and it seems to have paid off. The duo scored 38 out of 40 this week, however, did not bag any additional points during the relay dance.
Melora Hardin and pro Artem Chigvintsev
Score: 38
Melora Hardin and pro Artem Chigvintsev danced the Foxtrot to 'Killer Queen'. Hardin's performance was met with mostly positive critiques as the judges felt that she was now pushing herself just a little more and thus exiting her slump. With 9s across the board, she scored 36 out of 40 and was able to bump her score to 38 after earning two additional points during the relay dance.
Cody Rigsby and pro Cheryl Burke
Score: 36
Cody Rigsby and pro Cheryl Burke danced the Foxtrot to 'You’re My Best Friend'. Rigsby's 'DWTS' journey has not been easy, but the judges argued that this performance was a breath of fresh air, with Carrie Ann Inaba pointing out that she saw joy in his dancing. He scored 34 out of 40 and managed to bag an additional 2 points during the dance relay.
Iman Shumpert and pro Daniella Karagach
Score: 34
Iman Shumpert and pro Daniella Karagach danced the Paso Doble to 'Another One Bites The Dust'. This week seemed to have been a hit and a miss for Shumpert -- while the judges scored him a mix of 9s and 8s, Len Goodman gave him a 7, pulling down his total to 32 out of 40. However, he did manage to score an additional two points during the dance relay and he continues to be a fan and celebrity favorite.
Amanda Kloots and pro Alan Bersten
Score: 34
Amanda Kloots and pro Alan Bersten danced the Jive to 'Don’t Stop Me Now'. Kloots' winning streak seems to be on a steady decline, as she struggles to nail that perfect score. This week was no different as she scored 33 out of 40 and received one additional point during the dance relay.
Suni Lee and pro Sasha Farber
Score: 34
Suni Lee and pro Sasha Farber danced the Paso Doble to 'We Will Rock You'. Despite being unwell during her performance, Lee was determined to make a comeback after being in the bottom. She managed a total score of 33 out of 40, with one additional point earned during the dance relay.
The Miz and pro Witney Carson
Score: 32
The Miz and pro Witney Carson danced the Foxtrot to 'Radio Ga Ga'. As entertaining as The Miz is to watch, it was now down to the wire. With a score of 32 out of 40 and no additional points from the relay, he not only had the lowest score but also found himself in the bottom against JoJo Siwa. When it came to the judges vote, it was unanimous, and they picked Siwa, resulting in The Miz having to go home.
