HOLLYWOOD, Calif. —
Ten weeks and a dozen and a half routines later, Season 10 of Dancing With the Stars has finally come to an end. The winner of the coveted Mirrorball trophy was unveiled Tuesday, with three contestants remaining entering the night. Would it be Evan Lysacek, limber Olympic figure skating gold medalist, looking to add the famed Mirrorball to burgeoning trophy case? Would it be Nicole Scherzinger, the lovely lead Pussycat Doll and lord of the Dancing With the Stars season from beginning to end? Would it be Erin Andrews, embattled ESPN reporter turned ballroom aficionado, and a woman who everyone has to be rooting for? All three made compelling cases this Spring, but there can be only one winner. Follow the jump to see who took home the Dancing with the Stars title … Nicole Scherzinger! Dominant most of the season, she and Derek Hough managed to maintain and even build their lead against Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya in their last dance. They received a perfect 30 for their jive, Len’s claim that Nicole deserved to be the winner of the competition and a hug from Gladys Knight. It was theirs to lose. Erin finished third, and Evan just fell short in his bid to succeed fellow Olympians Apolo Anton Ohno, Kristi Yamaguchi and Shawn Johnson as the Mirrorball winner. Nicole Scherzinger deserved it, though, beyond any doubt. The odds were in Nicole and Derek’s favor, but there have been seasons when the highest-scoring star hasn’t taken home the top prize, so you never really can tell. Thanks to Evan, Erin and Nicole, Dancing with the Stars viewers may have been the biggest winners in this 10th season of competition – it was the best season yet. As for the two hours of filler, we got to see the eliminated contestants make their returns and keep the energy up and moving for their performances throughout. Well, with the exception of Kate Gosselin , who showed up for a revamped version of her much-maligned “Paparazzi” paso doble and to shill her two new shows. In a very odd move, Kate got on some kind of lift with a camera on it, and literally rose up above the audience to … somewhere. It was hard to tell. Who cares. The cheesiest moment of the night went to Jake Pavelka, who waltzed onto the ballroom floor and traded his partner Chelsie for real-life fiancee Vienna Girardi . If that weren’t enough, the dance was set to Jeffrey Osbourne’s “On the Wings of Love” … the theme of Jake’s season of The Bachelor . You may vomit when ready. But back to the champions. Let’s salute Nicole and Derek on a job well done, and a trophy well-earned. Click to enlarge some of their best Dancing moments …

The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky, whose season premiered last night, says she’s no longer feuding with nemesis Vienna Girardi. All together now … Phew. Chris Harrison, the show’s pimp-in-chief, confirmed the hatchet burying at Dancing With the Stars (which aired right after The Bachelorette season premiere ). The two ladies, who famously clashed on The Bachelor while in competition for Jake Pavelka, even “hugged each other and, said ‘Hi,'” back stage at the taping. “That’s one of the ways Ali has grown as a person,” Chris said . What, by not being a completely catty b!tch? Great job, Ali! The Bachelorette star Ali, left, and The Bachelor winner Vienna … yeah . Back in the day, Ali Fedotowsky would call out Vienna Girardi for, among other things, bragging that she’d “shake her boobs in Jake’s face,” but not any longer. “[Ali] regretted some of that,” Harrison added. “I get it. Look, in the heat of the moment, on the show, you say some things, you regret certain things, there are things you look back and might not do and that was one of them. She apologized for that.” Fedotowsky is “so happy for Jake,” Harrison went on about the new star. “She realizes now that it wasn’t meant to be, she wasn’t supposed to be with Jake.” Harrison said he thinks Vienna Girardi got a bad rap as the villain on the show, and that anyone writing her off is presumptuous. Can’t we all just get along? Apparently we can/ Jake Pavelka even posted a pic on Facebook of him, his fiancee and Ali. Oh, how times change (click here to be THG’s Facebook friend).

On Monday night’s show, the ESPN reporter Erin Andrews has performed well. She ended up tying with frontrunner Nicole Scherzinger. Andrews together with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy hit the ballroom with a hip-shaking samba that judge Bruno Tonioli say “You were hotter than noon in the tropics!” The samba was Andrew’s redemption dance because she performed this earlier in the season which made the judges felt she could improve upon, which she really did. Carrie Ann Inaba told her that she moved herself up three notches. After garnering a near perfect score of 29 points, she danced a lyrical-inspired freestyle that included a couch and a bed for her second routine. Len felt that the performance was a mix of motion and commotion but still liked it as a whole. Carrie Ann called it risky, but Bruno commented that it was a bit of a “psycho drama.” The pair earned 26 points in this dance. They gained a total of 55 out of 60 points for the night.

Might Erin Andrews have pulled off an incredible Dancing with the Stars upset? In our finals preview yesterday, we listed her as a long shot against favorite Nicole Scherzinger and dark horse Evan Lysacek, each of whom are more skilled. Somebody either forgot to tell Erin she was the underdog heading into last night’s final performances, or did tell her and provided her bulletin board material. Erin Andrews tied Nicole with an aggregate 55, meaning it really will come down to every last vote. Can she muster enough support to win the Mirror Ball? Teaming with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on a Samba to kick off the night, Erin scored a 29. Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya got a 28 on the Viennese Waltz. Nicole and Derek Hough’s Rumba netted a 28. In the freestyle round, Nicole made up one point on Erin, tying for the overall lead. Evan faltered somewhat. Erin Andrews mauls Maksim Chmerkovskiy in bed. Art imitating life? If Scherzinger still has a slight edge, it’s because she and Derek went for the toughest moves, almost resulting in Nicole falling off his shoulders at one point. Erin and Maks, meanwhile, chose to do a lyrical freestyle, which seemed So You Think You Can Dance -esque with props and unadulterated sexual chemistry. So can Erin actually pull off the upset on tonight’s results show – when Kate Gosselin returns , Vienna Girardi debuts and the season winner is unveiled at last? She earned consideration at the very least. Nicole will likely get the title and it will be well-earned, but she won’t run away with it. Last night’s full scorecard: Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Samba: 29. Freestyle: 26. Total: 55 . Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough: Rumba: 28. Freestyle: 27. Total: 55 . Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya: Waltz: 28. Freestyle: 24. Total: 52 . Click to enlarge some more photos from last night … Who do you want to win Dancing with the Stars?
