DWTS RE-CAP!!!
Tuesday, April 10, 2012

Last night's performances on "Dancing With the Stars" were inspired by rock hits, and the show opened with a performance by the band Kiss.

NFL player Donald Driver took the top spot on the leaderboard for the first time in the competition. He ripped off his vest and danced a powerful paso doble, complete with pyrotechnics at the end and a Gene Simmons-esque protruding tongue Driver earned 27 points, taking the top spot on the leaderboard for the first time.

Melissa Gilbert: The "Little House on the Prairie" star performed a fiery paso doble, though she "messed up the ending".   Gilbert's partnerMaksim Chmerkovskiy took responsibility for the slight slip-up.  At the end of the show, co-host Tom Bergeron said Gilbert had injured herself -- hit her head on the dance floor-- and gone to the hospital as a precaution.



THE LOWEST SCORE:

Gladys Knight:  The R&B legend took on the tango to Queen's classic "Bohemian Rhapsody."  Knight was awarded 20 points.


The Scoreboard:


Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd: 27
Maria Menounos & Derek Hough: 26
Roshon Fegan & Chelsie Hightower: 26
Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas: 24
Gavin DeGraw & Karina Smirnoff: 23
