Ouch.

Any time Maks Chmerkovskiy joins Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba at the judge's table, things get interesting. Usually, however, they don't get interesting like they did tonight. Maks and Len were generally on the same page, and that page was out for blood. They hated so many things, and they strangely hated the same things.

However, they did also love a few things! Tonight earned the first 10 of the season for Nyle DiMarco and his switch up partner, Sharna Burgess, and they agreed that Jodie Sweetin's paso doble with Val Chmerkovskiy was her best dance yet.

Fortunately, we didn't have to say goodbye to anyone tonight, so let's just get to the dances!

ABC

9. Doug Flutie and Peta Murgatroyd: 28/40

The judges praised the amount of content and that Flutie technically got all the steps correct, which he did. He just clearly is the weaker dancer of the bunch, but we do enjoy watching him improve week by week!

ABC

8. Antonio Brown and Karina Smirnoff: 26/40

The lowest score of the night, but not for lack of fun. The dance was a party, even if we were totally distracted by Karina's lingerie.  

ABC

7. Wanya Morris and Witney Carson: 30/40

The judges dissed the attempted tango, and while we didn't think it was bad, it was not the joyful, creative showstopper we were hoping for from this pair, which is unfortunate.

ABC

6. Kim Fields and Keo Motsepe: 28/40

The judges were not fans of a few technicalities, but we thought it was perfectly sweet. This is the kind of dance we'd daydream about being a part of.

ABC

5. Von Miller and Lindsay Arnold: 29/40

We didn't exactly expect Von and Lindsay to kill a country jive, but they did, and it was delightful AF.

ABC

4. Ginger Zee and Mark Ballas: 32/40

We will never tire of watching this woman dance, honestly. There's something so powerful about looking like you're having just the best time, like she always does.

ABC

3. Paige VanZant and Sasha Farber: 31/40

We would have scored this higher than the judges did, but we we can barely tell a rumba from a Roomba so there's a reason we're not actually judges. May not have been a rumba, but whatever it was was gorgeous.

ABC

2. Jodie Sweetin and Val Chmerkovskiy: 35/40

As much as we love Keo, we've believed that Val and Jodie should have been partners from the beginning, and this only proved we were right.

ABC

1. Nyle DiMarco and Sharna Burgess: 37/40

First 10 of the season, and it could not be more deserved. Just beautiful, and we don't really have much more to say than that.

Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
