Dancing with the Stars Recap


Talk about coming back with a vengeance.

He's been one of the two dancers to beat along with Nicole Scherzinger this season, but Evan Lysacek nearly found himself eliminated last week.

That was then, this is now. The Olympic gold medalist skated his way to a rare 30 with a saucy Argentine tango. Power. Control. Heat. Perfection.

You don't see Len dole out many 10s, so this was no small feat. Nicole and Erin Andrews both put up strong 27s, but this was Evan's evening.

Just the same, there much breathing room between worst and first by the end of the night, thanks to the newly-introduced Cha-Cha Challenge.

Group Challenge

Evan Lysacek's individual routine was perfect, but he couldn't carry the team.

Evan, Erin and Niecy Nash (Team Madonna) took on Nicole, Chad and Pam (Team Lady Gaga) ... and got whomped. A 27-24 victory may not seem too demonstrative, but it helped the latter trio pull closer in the compounded standings.

Other highlights: Maksim Chmerkovskiy's pants-off dance-off style intro (even Len had to give it props), Chad Ochocinco's passionate waltz, and Carrie Ann telling Nicole "you are by far the best dancer we've ever had on this show." Wow.
