All of the stars were challenged to a mini dance-off — the "Dance Monster-thon." As they danced, they were eliminated by the judges one by one. The longer they remained dancing, the more points they earned. In the end, "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Whitney Leavitt and dancing pro Mark Ballas won the challenge, earning 5 points.

Two-time Mirrorball winner Cheryl Burke defended pro dancers from judges' criticism ahead of her "Dancing with the Stars" return on Oct. 28.
