'Dancing with the Stars' Week 10: Nicole Scherzinger & Derek Win DWTS 2010! Recap [video]

'Dancing with the Stars' week 10 was like no other DWTS week gone by. The unexpected was what every we witnessed as this season's competition came to its end. Safe and sweet performances went out of the window and was replaced by the sultry and sexy eye popping bravado packed routines instead. There was no one more tipped to win 'Dancing with the Stars' season 10 then Nicole Scherzinger and pro dancing partner Derek Hough.

These two sizzled and pop big time when it came to this week's stunning performance. Their Rumba was awe-inspiring and then some. Mesmerizing the judges was something that the Nicole and Derek partnership had become very good at doing. Several weeks ago Nicole could do no wrong but one performance caused her to fall out of favor with the judges when she put a foot wrong and produced a substandard routine.

Citing a lack of confidence, it soon became very clear that the Pussycat Dolls singer found more than her confidence to get right back on track. Her weekly scores put her in the lead and kept her there. It Both she and Derek held it together well enough and kept impressing the judges with even more stunning performances. While Erin Andrews and her pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy brought bedroom antics into their dance floor routine. Nicole simply performed a beautiful dance that both she and Derek can be proud of.

Monday night performances were fun and sexy. With the last elimination of one from the last four celebrity dancing partnerships down to three, the field had narrowed down considerably. Musical performances last week from Miley Cyrus definitely made the elimination night just a little bit more dramatic and exciting than usual. NFL star Chad and partner Cheryl's elimination shocked and sadden us all in a way when they failed to survive on the night. Their very low scores did not add up and the rumored real life couple were sent home.

Kate Gosselin made a special return to "Dancing with the Stars' for the finale. Her return was just weeks after she made a shock exist of her own on elimination night. The former celebrity DWTS dancer with a new realty TV series mom not only returned for the finale of 'Dancing with the Stars' but will become a more permanent feature when she takes up position as new DWTS correspondent. Gosselin was prominently featured in 'Dancing with the Stars' season 10 finale, but will Kate make the perfect 'Dancing with the Stars' staff addition or what?
