Monday night's performance show featured each celebrity and professional pairing taking the stage once, dancing to each celebrity's favorite song.

Fifth place on the judges' leaderboard was a tie between soap opera and General Hospital star Antonio Sabato Jr. and fellow celebrity Sadie Robertson, a Duck Dynasty star.
Antonio and partner Cheryl Burke took the stage with a rumba routine, while Sadie and partner Mark Ballas danced a jazz routine. Both pairs received 31 points.
Actor and Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett and partner Allison Holker performed a cha cha routine worthy of 30 points and therefore landed in seventh place on the leaderboard.
Eighth place ended up being a four-way tie at 28 points amongst the following celebrities: Mixed martial arts and UFC fighter Randy Couture, late-night talk show host Tavis Smiley, fashion designer Betsey Johnson, and comedian Tommy Chong.
Randy and partner Karina Smirnoff performed the cha cha, as did Tavis and partner Sharna Burgess. Betsey and partner Tony Dovolani danced a foxtrot routine, while Tommy and partner Peta Murgatroyd performed a salsa routine.
