Len's Grandma's amazing Apple Pie, Maks stripping once again, Bruno laid out by a Tom Bergeron perfectly delivered zinger and a butt-smack from Derek Hough to white hot Nicole Sherzinger made the night on Dancing with the Stars.

"Sexylicious" is now a patented Bruno word introduced into the English language lexicon.

On Monday's "Dancing With the Stars," four couples gave two performances each and were scored by our three judges. Tom Bergeron sad it best at the ABC press day Saturday, "the show works beautifully because the three judges complement each other perfectly, they play off each other and the balance is just right."

Nicole Sherzinger just melted the stage with her awesomeness in the Argentine Tango. Hottest dance ever at CBS Television City.

Carrie Ann Inaba cried over it, for goodness sake.

Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough scored a perfect 30 points for their Argentine tango and 29 points for their cha-cha.

Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya are hot on their heels, as his adorable nephew brightened up his face, and together they earned 29 points for an upbeat foxtrot that showcased his effervescent positive personality. Evan and Anna followed this up with a perfect paso doble and earned a perfect 30.

Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy earned 27 points for a good waltz right out of the gate, and then scored two nines and a 10 for their paso doble, a feat for Erin, who has had it rough with her crazy stalker.

Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke earned 27 points for a waltz, but their Alejandro samba (shirtless too) got them 25 points.

Let's face it, Nicole and Evan are dancers! Evan is an ice skater but those skills are easily morphed for the ballroom floor.

So who will leave: Erin Andrews, Evan Lysacek, Chad Ochocinco or Nicole Scherzinger?

Next week's finale, we'll find out who is to take home that disco ball trophy.
