March 26 2013, Published 8:47 a.m. ET
Dancing with the Stars returned for week two of competition Monday – and finally, one couple will be sent home Tuesday. So who’s on top and who’s not? Find out!
Once again, Disney darling Zendaya Coleman shot to the top of the leader board, while comedienne DL Hughley found himself at the bottom overall after two weeks of competition. (Olympic skating skate Dorothy Hamill actually scored lower Monday than Hughley; He received a 16, and she received a 15, but overall she’s still ahead of him.)
“You’ve already set a standard that’s so high,” judge Bruno Tonioli told the actress/singer, who appears on the Disney sit-com Shake It Up.

Coleman earned an impressive score of 26 for the performance – it’s one of the highest scores in the first two weeks of the show’s history.
American Idol alum/country singer Kellie Picker came in a close second, as she wowed the judges with her futuristic modern jazz routine, complete with smoke machine.

Still, the judges did offer him words of encouragement.
“I can really see you worked very hard on that,” judge Bruno Tonioli said. “A lot of the runs you did very well on, but you still have to control your frame and tuck your bum under.”
“Each week we expect you to improve and get a little better,” judge Len Goodman told Hughley. “Tonight, you improved over last week. Well done.”
