Gilles Marini, Shawn Johnson and Melissa Rycroft are making things mighty interesting on this season's Dancing With The Stars.  The three were near even favorites coming into Monday night's show and they finished in a three-way tie.

Johnson and her partner, Mark Ballas, performed the fox trot. 

"You weren't just a lady, you were like a beautiful, elegant princess," said judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who gave the couple a score of 9 points out of 10. "I have not seen people glide on the floor like you did tonight. You were like dancing on ice. It was so smooth. You guys were in perfect synch."

Actor Gilles Marini and partner Cheryl Burke danced the samba immediately after Johnson and Ballas performed, scored 27 points to tie Johnson and Ballas.   "The Bachelor" contestant Melissa Rycroft and partner Tony Dovolani, who danced 10th of the 12 couples, also scored 27 points.

Dancing With The Stars betting odds were available at Sportsinteraction.com with updated odds to be posted following the results show.

"Dancing With The Stars is one of the most bet on television shows airing today," said Payton O'Brien of Gambling911.com
