tying them at the top of the Leader Board with Alexa & Mark
(who had performed a Jazz routine earlier to the theme from
Breaking Bad). Here, upon receiving his scores, an elated
Nick accidentally dropped and broke a glass 
which was given to him to hold
following his period piece dance,

out with laughter! 

Bindi & Derek were so great TV Night when
they danced an amazing Quickstep to the theme

of reason to smile Monday night,
