Dancing with the Stars ( U.S. season 10 ) - wikipedia Dancing with the Stars ( U.S. season 10 ) Dancing with the Stars ( season 10 ) Promotional poster ( designed by BLT & Associates ) Country of origin United States No. of episodes 19 Release Original network ABC Original release March 22 -- May 25, 2010 Additional information Celebrity winner Nicole Scherzinger Professional winner Derek Hough Season chronology ← Previous Season 9 Next → Season 11 Season ten of Dancing with the Stars premiered on March 22, 2010. There was not an elimination the first week of competition. The first elimination took place on March 30. Singer Nicole Scherzinger won the competition. Samantha Harris did not return as co-host for this season, due to her expanded correspondent duties on The Insider and Entertainment Tonight. On March 8, 2010, Tom Bergeron announced on Good Morning America that his new co-host is season seven champion Brooke Burke. Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba continued as the judges this season. Season ten had 11 contestants. Damian Whitewood, from the Broadway dance revue Burn the Floor, joined the list of professionals this season. Ashly DelGrosso Costa, whose last season as a pro was season three, returned, and Edyta Śliwińska continued as the longest tenured professional on the show, having appeared on the first ten seasons. This is the second season since season 5 that none of the couples scored a perfect 30 in the first night of the finals, and so far the first and only season where none of the couples got a 10 in the freestyle dances. This season, the Results Show was moved to 8 pm on Tuesdays instead of the usual 9 pm slot. This season also features other changes such as the `` red room '' being inside of the ballroom, enclosed by glass walls ( affectionately referred to as `` The Celebriquarium '' by Bergeron ), a balcony with a railing where the cast can stand and watch the performances live rather than on a monitor, and theme nights. Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger won the competition over Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek and ESPN Sportscaster Erin Andrews, who took second and third, respectively.
