"Dancing With The Stars"
Zendaya or Kellie Pickler will be winning the mirrorball trophy. At least according to the judges' scores on "Dancing With the Stars." They both got two rounds of perfect 10s on last night's show. A single point separates Zendaya and Pickler, based on their performances in the cha-cha relay. Aly Raisman had perfect scores on her freestyle too, but not her first dance. The judges also praised Jacoby Jones. But the Baltimore Ravens' star fell short of the rest on his performances. The winner will be crowned on tonight's show.


"Dancing With The Stars"-Tornado

Last night, it was the devastating tornado in Oklahoma. Bergeron says their thoughts are with the victims and their families. Bergeron then asked the audience to applaud the first-responders who were still searching for victims as the broadcast aired.

Adam Levine says she had the best performance of the night.

'Mike And Molly' Episode Pulled
CBS pulled the season-ending episode of "Mike and Molly" off the air last night, because the plot line revolved around a tornado.

The plot had Mike and Molly confessing to each other as a tornado threatens Chicago.
