Dancing with the Stars judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli were able to vote to save one of the bottom-two couples from elimination.
Derek voted to save Olivia and Val, and then Carrie Ann voted to save Melanie C. and Gleb. After Bruno opted to keep Melanie C. and Gleb in the competition, Len decided to advance Olivia and Val.
Although the judges' decision was split 2-2, Len's vote carried the vote since he is Dancing with the Stars' head judge.
Prior to Melanie C. and Gleb's elimination, each celebrity and professional pairing performed one time for "Grease Night," as all the songs, costumes and characters were right out of the Grease movie and musical.
One couple won the night by topping the leaderboard in first place with Dancing with the Stars' first perfect score of Season 30, and that couple was pop star and Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa and pro partner Jenna Johnson.
JoJo and Jenna received 40 out of 40 possible points from the Dancing with the Stars judges for their foxtrot to "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise)."
On JoJo and Jenna's heels were talk show host Amanda Kloots and pro partner Alan Bersten, who finished the night in second place on the judges' leaderboard with 39 points.
Amanda and Alan performed a Viennese waltz to "Beauty School Dropout," and Derek -- who gave the pair a 9 -- was the only judge who scored the couple less than a 10.
