'Dancing with the Stars 2010': Nicole Scherzinger Wins; Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews Lose It

After ten weeks of foxtrots, sambas and cha cha chas, pop singer Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough danced away with the championship on the final episode of 'Dancing With The Stars 2010.'

"There can only be one winner-that should be you," said judge Len Goodman, who had nothing but accolades for Scherzinger and Hough. Goodman, along with judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli all said the 10th season of DWTS has boasted some of the best dancers ever, making it hard to choose at times.

There was definitely a party atmosphere in the air, but the show wasn't quite the same without Goodman's typical dry comments. It was like the last day of school when you realize the teacher who gave you such a hard time all year doesn't really hate you.

Erin Andrews

It wasn't surprising that Scherzinger won, but it could have gone either way with ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and figure skater Evan Lysacek. Indeed, at the beginning of the show, Andrews, no longer a Nervous Nelly, was still a contender for the top spot, having outscored Lysacek the night before.

But her Argentine tango performance wasn't enough to keep her and dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy in the running. They received the lowest score from the judges, leaving Lysacek and Scherzinger, who both of whom also danced the Argentine tango, to shake it out on the dance floor.

Of course, Andrews was good enough to make it to the finals and definitely was rockin.' Before dancing a farewell Cha cha cha, Andrews said the experience had been good for her and had helped her "get my life back again," making reference to the "peeping tom" episode, in which she was secretly videotaped in her hotel room while undressed.

Evan Lysacek

Lysacek had his usual classic, sleek look about him and turned the Argentine tango into an art performance, inspiring Inaba to say that the dance was his "true redemption" and Tonioli told him he looked like a "real lady killer."

Nonetheless, Lysacek and partner Anna Trebunkskaya didn't seem surprised when Scherzinger and Hough garnered first place, although I thought Scherzinger was going to pass out in anticipation of the announcement.

Now I'm bummed, though. 'Dancing With The Stars 2010' is gone-as good as "Lost."
