Kellie and Derek finished in first place on the Dancing with the Stars judges' leaderboard after they performed a jive routine which received 25 out of 30 possible points from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli during Monday night's third performance show of the season.

Country singer Wynonna Judd and partner Tony Dovolani finished in eleventh -- and last -- place at the bottom of the week's leaderboard with only 15 points after they danced a samba routine.

Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman and partner Val Chmerkovskiy and NFL football player Jacoby Jones and partner Karina Smirnoff finished tied for second place on the leaderboard after both couples earned 24 points for their routines. Zendaya and Val performed a Viennese waltz, while Jacoby and Karina danced the rumba.

Boxer Victor Ortiz and partner Lindsay Arnold and 2012 Olympic gold medal winning gymnast Alexandra "Aly" Raisman and partner Mark Ballas tied for fourth place on Monday night's leaderboard. Aly and Mark danced the Viennese waltz which earned 23 points from the judges, while Victor and Lindsay danced a contemporary routine that received the same number of points.

Three couples finished tied for sixth place on the leaderboard with 21 points: Soap star Ingo Rademacher and partner Kym Johnson, The Bachelor star Sean Lowe and partner Peta Murgatroyd, and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump and partner Gleb Savchenko.

Ingo and Kym danced a paso doble routine, Sean and Peta performed the cha cha and Lisa and Gleb took the stage with a Viennese waltz.

Actor and comedian Andy Dick and partner Sharna Burgess landed in ninth place on the leaderboard after they danced a cha cha routine which received 18 points from the judges.

Tenth place went to actor and comedian D.L. Hughley and partner Cheryl Burke after they performed a salsa routine that earned 16 points -- only one point above the last-place couple.

The scores of last night's judging leaderboard will now be combined with the home viewer voting results to determine which of the 11 couples will be eliminated on Dancing with the Stars' second sixteenth-season results show Tuesday night at 9PM ET/PT.

In addition, due to Monday night's "prom theme," a prom king and queen will be crowned tonight based on America's votes and those two individuals will receive two bonus points to add onto their original leaderboard scores.
