The Judges' Scores in Week 8 of DWTS

Five couples each danced twice tonight - a Ballroom round and a Latin round. In the Latin Round each couple was given a "decade".

Here are the scores:

Chad Ochocinco & Cheryl Burke - 21 & 24 = 45
Niecy Nash & Louis van Amstel - 23 & 20 = 43
Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy - 28 & 25 = 53
Evan Lysacek & Anna Trebunskaya - 27 & 26 = 53
Nicole Scherzinger & Derek Hough - 29 & 30 = 59

Some observations:

• Chad was more relaxed this week, but I thought the judges were scoring quite hard. 
• Niecy and Louis enjoy themselves, but I thought Louis' choreography was a little off tonight.  Some of the moves just didn't suit them as a couple
• Erin established herself as a contender
• Evan is very good, but certain dances don't seem to suit him - great waltzer though.
• Nicole continues to dominate - and she got her first 30 - Len was in a relatively good mood!

Niecy and Chad are the obvious ones in danger, and I'm going to assume Niecy will go.
