Near the start of the "Dancing with the Stars" episode that aired Monday, May 5 - celebrity dancing duels night - U-M student and Olympic ice dancing gold medalist Charlie White was pronounced "safe," and he and partner Sharna Burgess danced a quickstep that finally earned the perfect score that White's been striving for.

White's ice dancing partner (and fellow U-M student) Meryl Davis, meanwhile, performed a rumba with her partner Maks Chmerkovskiy, and the judges weren't as impressed.

It probably didn't help that before the judges revealed their scores, Chmerkovskiy said of guest star Abby Lee Miller, star of "Dance Moms," "I really don't care for anything she has to say."
Miller gave them an 8, Len and Carrie Ann issued 9s, while Bruno gave them a 10.

The episode also featured DWTS' first-ever "celebrity dance duels," in which two couples start a routine together, then the pros step off the stage, leaving the celebrities to dance together. Meryl and Danica McKellar were first, and the judges had a good bit of criticism for the pair. Carrie Ann and Miller each gave them an 8, while Len and Bruno both awarded them a 9.

White, meanwhile, continued to flip the script, dancing with Candace Cameron Bure and earning high praise and scores from the judges: two 9s and two 10s.ee Charlie White's 'perfect' DWTS quickstep and Meryl Davis' rumba
