The couple topped the leaderboard after they received 26 out of 30 possible points from Dancing with the Stars' new scoring system, which features 0.5 intervals for the first time in the show's history, for their quickstep routine from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. The pair not only received the first nine of the season, but they also earned the highest score of the All-Stars edition yet to date.
Bryan originally competed with Mark Ballas her first time around on Dancing with the Stars' fifth season in Fall 2007. The pair had finished in seventh place after what was considered unexpectedly early elimination.
