The night had a special scoring twist, as dancers received points for their individual dance, as well as a dance marathon.

Palin, with pro partner Mark Ballas, received 23 for her individual dance and five for her participation in the group dance for a total of 28 points -- the second-worst of the night -- but heads and shoulders better than her ill-received monkey suit routine last week.
