JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson danced a 'tantalizing' tango but narrowly escaped elimination in a 'DWTS' shocker

• JoJo Siwa landed in the bottom two on "DWTS" Queen Night despite getting near-perfect scores.
• Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said she was "shocked" to see Siwa and pro Jenna Johnson facing elimination.

JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson landed in the bottom two of "Dancing With the Stars" for the first time on Monday night despite dancing a "tantalizing" tango that earned a near-perfect score from the judges.

The competition show celebrated the rock band Queen on Monday, with the contestants performing their routines to popular songs by the legendary group, like "We Will Rock You" and "Under Pressure."

Siwa and Johnson danced to "Body Language" in an upbeat tango that the judges praised as "amazing" and "fantastic."

"JoJo, that was a tempting, tantalizing tango. That was so avant-garde, experimental - I absolutely loved it," said judge Derek Hough.

Fellow judge Carrie Ann Inaba agreed with Hough, praising Siwa for her growth as a dancer with each performance.

Inaba and Hough, alongside judge Bruno Tonioli, each awarded Siwa and Johnson a perfect score of 10 out of 10. Head judge Len Goodman gave the pair nine out of 10 bringing their total to 39 out of 40.

However, the pair didn't score any points in a bonus relay round (three groups of couples danced to the same song and in the same style of ballroom dancing) and praise from the judges wasn't enough to save Johnson and Siwa from landing in the bottom two alongside The Miz and partner Witney Carson.

Ultimately, all four judges chose to keep Siwa and Johnson in the competition while The Miz was eliminated. The pro wrestler had scored 32 out 40 on Monday.

Inaba said during the elimination round that she was "shocked" to see Siwa in the bottom two because the "Dance Moms" star's scores have been high throughout the season.

Siwa and Johnson earned the first perfect score of season 30 of "DWTS" with their foxtrot to "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise)" during the show's "Grease" night in October. The pair's perfectly-executed routine scored 40 out of 40 and earned praise from the judges for their chemistry and technique.
