Last night on Dancing with the Stars: Season 6, we saw a large group of stars reach new personal highs with their dances.  Although it wasn’t a surprise to see Kristi Yamaguchi come so close to a perfect score (she received the first two 10’s of the season), it was a bit of a shocker to see Jason Taylor surge past former leader Mario.  (The football player also scored two 10’s.)

While they may not have been scoring 29’s, other celebrities made waves for themselves as well.  Cristián de la Fuente‘s paso doble earned the actor his best marks ever (26), Shannon overcame partner issues to rack up her highest total (28) and Marissa dug herself out of a hole with a committed performance (24).

Unfortunately, two contenders failed to improve upon their scores from last week.  Adam Carolla‘s comedic paso doble fell just shy of 20 points (19) while Priscilla Presley literally got carried away during her viennese waltz (22).

In the end, Adam with his low average (18.5) was the one sent packing.  (His departure officially put Julianne Hough‘s three-peat to an end.)  You can get a refresher of his final performance below:
