\"I'm just glad I had a chance to come on the show,\" Oakley added.
Meanwhile, \"One Day at a Time\" actress Justina Machado cemented her place in the lead on Tuesday by hanging tight to first place with a commanding foxtrot to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's \"When You Believe.\"
Her breezy and romantic routine earned her high marks from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Hough -- topping the scoreboard with an impressive 42/60.
However, former \"Bachelorette\" star Kaitlyn Bristowe proved that she's the act to beat this season -- not only because she demonstrated her impressive dancing background, but because she didn't allow an injured ankle to derail her dreams of holding the Mirrorball Trophy. Injury aside, Bristowe poured her heart into a gorgeous foxtrot to LeeAnn Womack's \"I Hope You Dance,\" which resulted in her sharing first place honors with Machado with a top score of 42 out of 60.
As for the most emotional moment of the night, you can thank AJ McLean for making sure there wasn't a dry eye on the ballroom when he professed his undying love to his wife of nearly a decade, Rochelle. \"She's the most compassionate, caring, understanding woman. An amazing wife and an amazing mom. She's my superhero,\" the Backstreet Boy gushed, tugging on heartstrings everywhere.
Another emotional moment happened when Baskin opened up about how her life was turned upside down since the premiere of \"Tiger King.\" The Big Cat Rescue owner broke down in tears when discussing how her mental health has suffered due to the constant negative attention.
\"I actually had to contact my family and say, 'Be prepared,'\" Baskin admitted to host Tyra Banks about breaking down on camera. \"Because I try not to ever cry in front of them, ever. To break down in front of everybody, it's -- it's really out of character for me.\"
