The week's twist was that the contestants had to fuse together two different dances; the change in partner was seamless for the Olympian, who got 30 points for her fusion of tango and paso doble with Ballas.

Judge Bruno Tonioli complimented Shawn on her "flawless fusion" and "maximum purity of each dance."

As for Derek, a source told US magazine that his "injury is really serious" and that "it's likely Mark will finish out the season for him" following the elimination of Mark's initial celeb partner this year, Bristol Palin.

"Derek is so disappointed but very badly hurt -- he needs surgery."

For the single dances, the full totals were: Johnson and Hough (30); Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani (29); Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd (28.5); Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke (27.5); Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff (27); Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy (27); and Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (24).
