While Davis and her partner Maks Chmerkovskiy have been the overwhelming favorite to take home the Mirrorball Trophy after countless perfect and near-perfect judges scores, it was another celebrity who outperformed them on Monday.
Amy Purdy and partner Derek Hough received a perfect score of 40 out of 40 from the judges Monday night. Purdy and Hough also received a score of 39 out of 40 for their duo dance with James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd.

This made them the highest scoring couple of the night. Meanwhile, Davis and Chmerkovskiy actually had the lowest scores of the night, scoring a 36 out of 40 in their dance and a 34 out of 40 for the dance with Danica McKellar and Val Chmerkovskiy.
Charlie White also became a potential spoiler for the trophy Monday night, scoring a perfect 40 out of 40 in his dance with Sharna Burgess and a 38 out of 40 for their dance with Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas.
McKellar and Val were eliminated at the end of Monday night's show, cementing the final five.
With only five couples left, it could be anyone's game. Cameron Bure and Ballas have scored slightly lower than the other four couples overall this season, but the actress seems to have a lot of support from the viewing public. Davis, White and Purdy have been consistently great all season and could all be considered co-frontrunners at this point. Meanwhile, Maslow is still in the hunt despite being the last one to be called safe Monday night.
Dancing With the Stars season 18 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
