Wanya Morris and his partner Lindsay Arnold danced an amazing samba to “‘Circle of Life” from The Lion King. They received 35 out of 40 and astounded the judges but Carrie Ann was quoted saying ” you over danced it a bit in the beginning.”

Final couple of the night was Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas dancing a quickstep to “You’ve Got A Friend in Me” from Toy Story. The creativity of the dance earned them a 36 out of 40 and thus tying for first place!
