Dancing With the Stars Season 30 Episode 6 featured one of the most shocking eliminations from the competition thus far.

On Monday night, the hit reality TV competition bid goodbye to Spice Girls member Melanie C and her pro partner, Gleb Savchenko. However, the decision didn't come easy for the judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Led Goodman, and Derek Hough.

Here's everything that we down from Dancing With the Stars Season 30 Episode 6.

Who Received The First Perfect Scores Of The Season?

This week, the remaining contestants performed different ballroom dances with songs from the hit musical, Grease.

Jojo Siwa and her pro partner, Jenna Johnson received the first perfect score of the season. However, this ended up being bittersweet.

After all, Johnson's husband ended up in the bottom two with her celebrity partner, Olivia Jade.

The votes that came in this week shocked not only the audiences but also the judges. After all, Mel C and Jade have been getting high scores week in and out.

Why Did Olivia Jade End Up In The Bottom Two Spot?

Since the scores and votes on Dancing With the Stars are combined every week, it's obvious that Mel C and Jade ended up in the bottom two because of the votes that they received from fans. After all, both contestants have been getting high scores from the judges.

It is unclear why Mel C and Jade ended up in the bottom two, but it's possible that the latter's fate in Dancing With the Stars Season 30 was affected by an ongoing rumor.

On TikTok, one user accused Jade of hooking up with Chmerkovskiy.

The YouTube star immediately shut down the rumors by saying that she and her pro partner are nothing more than friends. Jade also said that she adores Chmerkovskiy's wife.

"Hey guys, I just wanna clear the air before this goes any further or this video blows up anymore. First of all, the woman that posted it blocked me. Someone had to send me this video. I'm just going to be super blunt and straight up, and just say that Val and I are not hooking up. We've never hooked up. This is a complete rumor; we are genuinely good friends and I adore his wife," Jade said in a video.

Jade added that she would've understood the reactions from fans and critics if the rumors were true, but they're not.

"And I'd get it if it was true, but it's not, so let's end this here and let's [expletive] dance and have fun on this show, and not create lies especially when you also have almost 400k followers. It's not cool," she added.

Who Is Still In The Running To Bring Home The Mirror Ball?

Following Monday's elimination, only 10 couples are left in Dancing With the Stars Season 30. And they still have a chance to bring home the Mirror Ball trophy.

Cody Rigsby and Cheryl Burke did a wonderful job with their quickstep, and it earned them a score of 32 over 40.

Unfortunately, the duo has not made it to the top of the leaderboard, so here's to hoping that their fan votes could get them through more rounds.

Kenya Moore and Brandon Armstrong are still in the competition. And their comeback is quite impressive.

After all, Moore and Armstrong have been in the bottom two for several weeks. And this is the first time that they were called safe by host Tyra Banks.

The duo also received their first nines this season this week.

Jimmie Allen and Emma Slater received a pretty decent score of 34 out of 40. However, this is not as high as their score during last week's Disney Night.

Suni Lee and Sascha Farber earned 36 out of 40 with their Charleston, which is also a good score, but the duo could've done better.

Amanda Kloots and Alan Bersten received the second-highest score of the night. The couple got 39 out of 40 after Hough decided to give them a 9 instead of a 10.

The Miz and Witney Carson are still in the competition. But they need to get higher scores if they want to stay until the finale.

The duo received a score of 32 out of 40 on Monday night.

Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach received the lowest score of the night with 28 out of 40. By the looks of it, this duo could be in danger of going home next week.

Melora Hardin and Artem Chigvintsev received 36 out of 40 just like Jade and Chmerkovskiy.

Dancing With the Stars Season 30 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
