You killed that,” an impressed Carrie Ann Inaba raved. “Great job.”Even Len Goodman, notoriously tough on dances like the jive (which he’s often criticized for crossing into the territory of other dances), sang the young woman’s praises.“For someone, tonight, it’s gonna be the last chance to dance… but not you,” he said.Zendaya and Val captured 26 points, which, when added to their Week 1 total, took them to a whopping 50 out of 60, the kind of score “Dancing” fans usually see much, much later in the competition.WATCH IT NOW: Lisa Vanderpump On Her ‘Dancing’ Rehearsals: ‘It’s So Much Harder Than I Thought It Would Be’The next two spots on the leaderboard were also earned by ladies in the competition.Former “American Idol” contender-turned-country star Kellie Pickler wowed with a thrilling, futuristic jazz number with a shirtless Derek Hough (which no doubt reminded longtime “DWTS” watchers of his dance with Joanna Krupa in Season 9).
