So who had the top routine on Halloween Night? And who won the dance-offs? Keep reading to find out.

DWTS Contestants Earned Several 10s During The Individual Routines

For the vast majority of the season, Disney Channel actress Chandler Kinney and her partner Brandon Armstrong have dominated the leaderboard. They’re still near the front of the pack, but several competitors are hot on their heels.

Although Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach had been at the bottom of the leaderboard, they astounded the judges and viewers with their frightening Contemporary routine to “Ring Around the Rosie” by District 78. Daniella generally excels at choreography on Halloween Night and this season didn’t disappoint. The judges awarded them a 28/30, including the first 10 of the season.

But they certainly weren’t the only couple to earn a 10 tonight. In fact, the judges kept throwing out 10s after Dwight and Daniella earned theirs.

In his prerecorded package, Danny Amendola admitted he was the underdog in the beginning. But now, he’s proudly competing for the top of the leaderboard. He and Witney Carson also earned a 28/30 to Argentine tango to “Poison” by RAVN.

The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber also received a 28/30 for their Contemporary to “Vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo. After that, Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold performed a Contemporary to “I Ran (So Far Away)” by Hidden Citizens and also received a 28/30.

But there was actually a tie for the top individual routine. The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson performed the Argentine tango to “Ramalama (Bang Bang)” by Roisin Murphy and received a 29/30. And once again, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong tied them with a 29/30 for their Viennese waltz to “Secret” by Denmark + Winter.

Since both couples won their dance-off, they also both took home three bonus points for the evening.
