'Dancing With the Stars' 2011: The Stars Go Classic

Victoria Leigh Miller
It was Classical Week on "Dancing With the Stars" on Monday night, with the stars dancing waltzes and paso dobles accompanied by a full-size orchestra. But amidst the elegance there was a hiccup or two, including a bizarre incident involving one of the contestant's shoes.

The Highs:

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas topped the judges leaderboard with their Viennese Waltz (score: 26 points out of 30), although Mark's pointy hat was a tad distracting (what's with these two and their get ups this season?).

Hines Ward and partner Kym Johnson showed once again that they may be the couple to beat. Judge Bruno Tonioli called Ward "the most determined of all of our celebrities." Score: 25/30

And Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff were back. Their "Romeo and Juliet" waltz scored 25 points and there was nary a mention of Macchio's spatula hands from Bruno.

The Lows:

Kendra Wilkinson is reminding me of the Kate Gosselin of this season. The apathy, the eye rolling, the excuses. She and partner Louis Van Amstel scored the lowest of the week with their Viennese Waltz with only 18 points.

Kirstie Alley had another ballroom mishap. While she and Maks Chmerkovskiy didn't tumble on the dance floor this week, Alley's shoe actually came off mid-dance. She spent a good couple of beats trying to refasten her shoe before getting up off the floor. How does this stuff happen to her?

The Scores:

Here are the rest of the judges' leaderboard scores for "Dancing With the Stars" Week 4:

Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin -Paso Doble- Score: 23/30
Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke - Paso Doble- Score: 23/30
Romeo and Chelsie Hightower- Paso Doble Score: 23/30
Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna Trebunskaya- Viennese Waltz- Score: 21/30

Who's Going Home:

The viewers may have had enough of Wilkinson. The judges sure have. If not, Sugar Ray has hovered near the bottom of the leaderboard all season and Romeo's incessant website plugging may be reason enough to send him packing.

You can catch the "Dancing With the Stars" Week 4 results show on Tuesday night at 9:00 pm ET on ABC.
