The tears were flowing all over the ballroom during "Most Memorable Year" night on "Dancing With the Stars," and the sad moments didn't end, especially after Derek Fisher and Sharna Burgess were forced to say their goodbyes following their elimination. Now, teams will perk back up again for Disney night—though one more of them will still need to face the harsh reality of potential elimination.

The leaderboard was truly changed after the most recent night of competition on the ABC series. While Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold firmly planted themselves in first place with 29 total judge's points, Victoria Arlen and Val Chmerkovskiy found themselves in second place for the first time, with 27 points. Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas also remained near the top, taking third place with 26 points. The rest of the leaderboard saw teams almost entirely grid-locked for fourth place, with almost everyone else scoring 24 points from the judges.

Because of this new leaderboard, which sees the teams all within sight of the top spot, truly predicting which Season 25 pair is going home in Week 5 seems almost impossible. However, one team in particular does seem like the most likely candidates to be eliminated when the judge's scores and viewer votes are combined.

Though nearly every team in the competition that didn't crack the top 3 scored 24 points, putting them in a dead heat in terms of the judge's scores, one pair didn't quite make the cut, and fell to the bottom of the leader board for the first time, scoring only 22 points. In addition, Nick Lachey and Peta Murgatroyd, also known as Team Mom and Pops, have also found themselves in jeopardy of elimination twice before throughout the competition. Overall, that doesn't seem to speak well for them, and could be a big sign that they not only haven't quite earned as much admiration from the judges, but also viewers.

However, while they do seem to be the most likely contenders for elimination, being in jeopardy doesn't necessarily mean the pair received some of the lowest numbers of votes from viewers. Though the show used to always leave the elimination down to the official bottom two teams of the week, the switch to putting teams "in jeopardy" meant that only one was guaranteed to have the lowest total of votes. The twist allowed for top contenders to occasionally be among the last teams called safe as well, instead of leaving them to always move on to the next week.

Because of that, while Nick and Peta are definitely still in potential trouble due to their judge's scores, they aren't necessarily receiving the lowest number of viewer votes. That could lend them a small cushion over some of the other teams who have stayed near the middle of the pack, meaning that they will be able to dance in Week 6.

If that does wind up being true, it truly could be any of the other teams who find themselves eliminated. If it is one of them, it will most certainly be a massive surprise to the entire cast, because things are truly exceptionally close between the teams.

"Dancing With the Stars" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
