No ‘favorite things’? Say it isn’t so-prah!

What a surprise: A tie
As far as the actual dancing went, Monaco and Mazo were the winners on the judges' scorecards in the first round of dances, scoring a 25 (out of 30 possible points) to O'Hurley and Jorgensen's 22 in the Latin dance portion of the competition.

Of course, all this did was make the O'Hurley-Jorgensen tandem even more lovable underdogs, and maybe the sentiment clouded the judges' vision a bit. They got a perfect score and effusive praise from all three judges for their round two waltz, and easily won on the scorecards.

That left just the freestyle competition. The judges, predictably, scored that round a tie, each judge giving each couple the same score (they're so close! Every vote counts!). Even the costumes made it tough to pick a winner in there — the looks of a Kelly Monaco in a revealing outfit vs. the courage of O'Hurley to come out wearing spandex.
