Dancing with the Stars: Model Joanna Krupa leads, Michael Irvin lags

Monday's "Dancing with the Stars" featured the fun jitterbug and the elegant waltz. The group dance was a competitive mambo where couples were "tapped out." Once a judge tapped a couple on the shoulder, that couple was forced to stop dancing. More points were added to those celebrities who danced the longest.

Two celebrities will be eliminated during Tuesday's results show. Judges' scores will be combined with viewers' votes and the three lowest scoring celebrities will be up for elimination. A final dance-off where the judges decide who stays will save one couple.

First out in the competitive mambo was football star Michael Irvin. He earned 2 points which brought him to a total of 22 for the day. Snowboarder Louie Vito earned three points which brought his total to 24. Actress Melissa Joan Hart got 4 points which gave her a total of 24. Singer Kelly Osbourne got 5 points for a total of 25. "Iron Chef America's" Mark Decascos had 6 points for a total of 32. Singer Donny Osmond's 7 brought his total to 31. Singer Aaron Carter's 8 points gave him 33. Singer Mya's 9 earned her a total of 33 and model Joanna Krupa's winning 10 points gave her a total of 36.

Here's a recap of the individual dances:

Model Joanna Krupa and partner Derek Hough earned 26 points for their waltz.

Bruno Toniolo, 9: "It was like watching a butterfly gently gliding over an alpine meadow."

Carrie Ann Inaba, 8: "There was something really strange... You had hesitation a lot."

Len Goodman, 9: "Your footwork wasn't too brilliant... But what I loved (was) you went straight into the dance... It's the best waltz we've seen tonight."

"Iron Chef America" chairman Mark Decascos and partner Lacey Schwimmer did a jitterbug full of tricks including flips by Mark for 26 points.

Carrie Ann Inaba, 9: "I loved it."

Len Goodman, 9: "Sometimes less is more but not in the jitterbug...Great."

Bruno Toniolo, 8: "Truly spectacular."

Though he lost his footing a bit in the waltz, singer Aaron Carter and partner Karina Smirnoff earned 25 points.

Len Goodman, 9: "You danced with maturity. You had lovely posture. That's your best dance, and I'm proud of you."

Bruno Toniolo, 8: "The boy has become a gentleman."

Carrie Ann Inaba, 8: "I love the new Aaron Carter you're bringing to the dance floor. It's dignified."

Singer Donny Osmond and partner Kym Johnson got 24 points for their jitterbug.

Carrie Ann Inaba, 8: "You guys certainly know how to work a room... You had a few moments of being out of sync."

Len Goodman, 8: "There was a little stumble... really entertaining."

Bruno Toniolo, 8: "Always, always a great performer."

Singer Mya and partner Dmitry Chaplin scored 24 points for their jitterbug. The couple went for gimmicks in their routine. Mya dusted the judges' desk while Dmitry swept the dance floor before they started dancing. Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba wanted to see more dancing, but Bruno thought the routine was fun and lively.

Len Goodman, 7: "You're such a good dancer it is not necessary to waste 20 bars polishing my desk."
