Derek said it felt like Charity had been waiting all season to do that and they've never seen anything like that in the history of Dancing with the Stars.
Bruno said he nearly had a heart attack watching that thrilling and speculator performance that was filled with tricks. And Carrie Ann praised Charity for the level of difficulty in the dance and for showing viewers something new.
Two couples -- Jason and Daniella as well as Ariana and Pasha -- tied for third place on the two-week leaderboard with a total of 117 points each.

Bruno said it was an exciting and uplifting extravaganza, Carrie Ann thought the dance was wonderful, and Derek complimented Jason on the nonstop dancing and how it was a "phenomenal" spectacle.

Bruno also pointed out how Ariana had worked every movement with energy and enthusiasm.
Ariana and Pasha then impressed with a powerful freestyle to the Beyonce hit "Who Run the World," which received 30 additional judges' points.
Carrie Ann yelled about how the dance was "off the charts" and Ariana showed what an empowered woman looks like.
Derek said he gave the stank face the entire time because he was loving it so much and that Ariana shined. And Bruno added how Ariana was at the top of her game and looked "hot as hell."
And finally, Alyson and Sasha landed in fifth -- and last -- place on the two-week leaderboard with a total of 104 points.
Alyson and Sasha's redemption dance was their salsa from Week 1, and the judges scored them 25 points for the new and improved version.
Carrie Ann said Alyson did an amazing job and showed grace and confidence. Derek gushed about how it was "insane" how much Alyson had improved since doing that routine in the first week of competition.
Alyson and Sasha's freestyle paid tribute to Taylor Swift, but the couple was two points why of earning their perfect score of the season.
