Second triple 10s on 'Dancing With the Stars'

LOS ANGELES Pussycat Doll /*Nicole Scherzinger*/ and her partner, /*Derek Hough*/, foxtrotted their way to 29 out of 30 and came back with a perfect score for their '50s-era Paso Doble.

"I was kind of just dumbfounded afterwards when I got out," said Scherzinger.I was like, 'Oh, what's going on?' But I still can't believe it. It's pretty crazy."

Six points behind them, /*Erin Andrews*/ and /*Maksim Chmerkovskiy*/ were tied for second. They had an '80s-era rumba and an Argentine Tango featuring a stunning lift at its conclusion. Some called it the moment of the week.

"We deserve the 'moment of the week' because we practiced that, and that was a lot of faith he had in me doing that," said Andrews. "So I'm glad we got the 'moment of the week.' We deserve it."

The pair tied with /*Evan Lysacek*/ and his partner, /*Anna Trebunskaya*/. Trebunskaya wowed the crowd in her futuristic Cha-Cha outfit based on "The Fifth Element."

Eight points behind them and in fourth place were NFL star /*Chad Ochocinco*/ and his dance partner /*Cheryl Burke*/.

"I'm not nervous when it's time to go perform," said Ochocinco. "It might not be how it's supposed to look, but when I'm in a comfort zone, that's all I need."

Last place finishers /*Niecy Nash*/ and her partner /*Louis Van Amstel*/ need your vote to keep on dancing.

"I'm tired, I'm not even going to lie," said Nash. "I'm tired, but epiphany. I am the last mother standing in this competition."

One of the remaining five couples goes home on Tuesday night's results show.
