Performing the waltz and the jive, Iraq War vet Martinez and Smirnoff not only earned the first perfect score — 30 out of 30 — of the season, but they earned it on both dances and on "instant choreography" night (dancers set a routine, but are given the music they'll dance to only minutes before their performance).

"You're in a class all of your own," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Martinez. "There's nobody coming close to you tonight."
