Leaving it all on the dance floor! Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy have been at the top of the leaderboard for three weeks in a row on Dancing With the Stars — but it hasn’t been easy.
“I think there’s been a little bit of pressure all of these weeks knowing that we’re sharing the leaderboard, but I feel like we have a system that kind of works,” the Bachelorette alum, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly after the Monday, October 10, episode of the Disney+ series. “Which is just, like, work ourselves to death during the week and see what happens on Mondays.”
As for how they plan to stay on top? “Just keep doing what we’re doing,” the Illinois native told Us.
For his part, the ballroom pro, 36, couldn’t be happier with his and Windey’s recent results. “It feels great,” he gushed to Us. “It’s great to be tied for the top of the leaderboard, especially with couples like Charli [D’Amelio] and Wayne [Brady].”

Emily Longeretta This week proved to be the toughest yet for the “Dancing With the Stars” partners, who had to learn multiple routine. Although there was no elimination during Monday night, Tuesday night put the remaining couples to the test with their second dance of the week followed by a marathon. Although Wayne Brady received one 10 on Monday night, it wasn’t until Tuesday that he brought the judges — even Len Goodman — to their feet following his samba with partner Witney Carson. The duo received a score of a perfect 40. Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy also impressed the judges with their tango and earned a 40. Going into the dance marathon, their total two-night score of a 77 tied them for first place with Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas, who received a 38 on Tuesday after their 39 on Monday night. However, the marathon changed the game, with the judges eliminating one pair at a time, as they all danced at the same time. The first duo eliminated received 1 point, the second received 2 and so on.
