Courtney Act’s Perfect Score On ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Fails To Win Public Vote
Despite notching up a perfect score of 40 from the judges, Courtney Act and her dance partner Joshua Keefe failed to take home the Mirrorball Trophy in Sunday night’s grand finale of Dancing With The Stars: All Stars. The pair were in line to become the first ever same-sex dance team to win any of the franchises of the show, but instead had to be happy with once again taking the runner-up position.Courtney (whose non-drag name is Shane Jenek) and Joshua danced a freestyle routine to Harry Styles’ Treat People with Kindness. Courtney admitted “It’s going to be tough to top our last grand final dance” and following their performance, told the judging panel that, “We wanted to bring a little Mardi Gras to the ballroom floor.”In the pre-performance clip, Courtney said, “I think what we will do differently in this dance is really focus on the technique and the dancing.”Joshua described the routine saying, “We’ve got lifts, we’ve got tricks, we’ve got about five different dance styles in there.
