"It just meant so much that we even moved her to tears, you know?" Scherzinger -- whose second dance, the cha cha, received 29/30 points -- told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "You know being able to connect with someone like that, you know you're out there for the right reasons."

The evening was full of big performances and big scores, including ESPN’s Erin Andrews, whose Viennese waltz and paso doble got her 56/60 points.

Cincinnati Bengals star Chad Ochocinco scored a stellar 52 out of 60 possible points for his waltz and samba, but with his competition tearing it up as they did, he might be tackled right out of the competition on Tuesday's results show. The six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver told RadarOnline.com's Tina Malave he's not frustrated at all being the only competitor with no dance background coming into the show.

Lysacek, whose foxtrot and paso doble kept him neck and neck with the Pussycat Doll, said he decided to spice things up this week with a “vampire storyline.
