TV star Chandler Kinney and pro partner Brandon Armstrong finished the week in second place with a total of 69 points.
Chandler and Brandon took the stage with a jive routine on "Hair Metal Night" that earned 33 points from the judges.
"You are in a league of your own. You are one of the best dancers, if not THE best," Derek announced, adding how the performance was "fantastic."
Although Carrie Ann advised Chandler to be a bit sharper and go harder in her movements, Bruno said Chandler's performing instincts are "flawless."
Two couples tied for third place on the leaderboard with a total of 62 points for both nights: The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran and pro partner Sasha Farber as well as Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik and pro partner Rylee Arnold.
Jenn and Sasha danced a 31-point worthy paso doble on Tuesday night.

Stephen and Rylee performed a foxtrot routine for "Hair Metal Night" that received 32 judges' points.
Carrie Ann advised Stephen to do a bit more storytelling in his dancing, but Derek praised Stephen for having worked on his frame and timing.
Derek said he'd like to see Stephen have more of a stride when moving across the dance floor.
Fifth place on the judges' two-night leaderboard went to model and cover girl Brooks Nader and pro partner Gleb Savchenko with 61 total points.
Brooks and Gleb took the stage with a cha cha routine on Tuesday night that earned 33 points from the judging panel.
"I think I'm turning. What's going on with me?!" Bruno quipped in response to the sexy dance. "You are a good dancer as well as terribly hot!"
Carrie Ann thanked Brooks for being so focused, and Derek appreciated her twists, turns and clean lines.
Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola and pro partner Witney Carson claimed sixth place on the judges' combined leaderboard with 60 total points.
For their second dance of the week, Danny and Witney performed a 30-point worthy paso doble.
Bruno said Danny had put "everything" he had into the dance and he should keep the power going forward. However, he noted that Danny could use more finesse in his movements.
Carrie Ann noted how she loved Danny's "attitude and attack," but Derek pointed out how there were a few timing issues.
Two celebrities tied for seventh place on the leaderboard with 56 points: Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher and The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks.

Bruno yelled about how he loves "wild and wonderful" yet Ilona "went wrong so many times" and made noticeable mistakes.
Ilona started to tear up because of her errors, but Carrie Ann insisted that Ilona is amazing in the competition and should continue with her head held high.
Phaedra and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy earned 26 points on "Hair Metal Night" for their paso doble.
Carrie Ann acknowledged there were some mistakes and she tended to dance a little "square," which made some of her movements appear flat.
Derek agreed Phaedra could exude more energy onstage; however, he thought Phaedra's moves were "dynamic."
NBA Champion Dwight Howard and pro partner Daniella Karagach finished in ninth place on the judges' leaderboard with a total of 52 points.
Dwight and Daniella received 29 points for their paso doble routine on "Hair Metal Night."
Following a rough dance on Monday night, Carrie Ann announced how Dwight is "back in the game" with his lines and shaping. She gushed about how the performance was powerful and elegant.
"Tonight, my man, you were the comeback king!" Derek declared. "You came out strong, you came out confident, and you came prepared. This could paso-bly be your best dance!"
Eric and Britt landed in tenth place on the leaderboard with 46 total points after receiving only 22 points for their paso doble on Tuesday night.
Derek said he loved Eric's determination and spirit but the actor lost his timing in the middle of the dance.
