Tonight on the second night of Dancing With the Stars: The Finals, one couple is finally awarded the mirror ball trophy!

First, each couple chose their favorite dance they did from the season. Each couple, it just so happened, chose the Argentine Tango. The judges had to rate each couple from first to third:

1st- Nicole and Derek-30
2nd-Evan and Anna-28
3rd-Erin and Maksim-26

Shannon Doherty, Buzz Aldrin, and Aiden Turner returned with their partners to dance again.

Jake also returned to dance with Chelsie but ended the dance with the woman he met on The Bachelor, Vienna.

Top 5 arguments of the season:

1. Tony and Kate
2. Erin and Maksim
3. Jake and Chelsie
4. Edyta and Aiden
5. Nicole and Derek

Erin and Maksim were revealed as the third place couple, however, they still performed their last dance they had prepared before their goodbyes.

The College Dance Championship Finals between Purdue University and Utah Valley University made for a tough decision for the judges. Utah Valley University was well-deserving of the title and the judges clearly agreed because they announced them as the winners!

Kate wanted to come back tonight to show the audience she could dance, but I’m not too sure she really looked any better than before.

Niecy and Pamela also came back to perform a very sexy and seductive dance.

Nicole and Derek and Evan and Anna performed one last time to prove to the judges that they deserve that trophy.

Nicole and Derek:
Len-10- Thinks they should win
Bruno-10- Thinks she is great
Carrie Ann-10- Thinks she is so incredible

Evan and Anna:
Bruno-9- Thinks his performance level has enhanced
Carrie Ann-10- He not only won her heart but the audience’s as well
Len-9- Thinks he has been a joy to watch

Final Scores from both nights:
Nicole and Derek-115
Evan and Anna-108

Nicole and Derek were announced the winners of Dancing With the Stars Season 10 and were finally given the mirror ball trophy! Congratulations!
