Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Following in Ian Ziering's and Jennie Garth's footsteps, which "Beverly Hills, 90210" star made an appearance in season 10, with dance partner Mark Ballas?

Answer: Shannen Doherty

Shannen was the first star eliminated. She and Mark danced a Viennese Waltz and a Jive before being given the boot.

2. Which American hero was paired with professional dancer Ashly Costa (nee DelGrosso) and was the second star eliminated in season 10?

Answer: Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin

Buzz Aldrin was the second person to set foot on the moon, an accomplishment mentioned numerous times on the show. His score of 13 for his Waltz was his last judged performance of season 10 (he returned in the finals to dance a quick Paso Doble).

3. The professional newcomer, Australian Damian Whitewood, was paired with what buxom blonde "Baywatch" bombshell for season 10?

Answer: Pamela Anderson

Pamela was praised throughout the competition for getting into the character of the dances. However, her lower body was awkward at times and did not flow with her upper body.

Answer: Erin Andrews

Erin was paired with professional "Bad Boy of the Ballroom" Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Erin stated part of the reason for her wanting to do the show was to get back some of her confidence after the devastating stalker incident.

5. Paired with professional dancer Chelsie Hightower, what reality television star danced a Cha-Cha-Cha with a Tom Cruise "Risky Business" (1983) theme to Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll"?

Answer: Jake Pavelka

Jake was one of the potential suitors on the 5th season of "The Bachelorette" (2009) and returned as the star of season 14 of "The Bachelor" (2010). Jake and Chelsea were the 5th couple eliminated from "DWTS" season 10.

6. Which season 10 comedienne repeatedly referenced eating hamburgers and did not want to lose her "jiggly parts"?

Answer: Niecy Nash

Niecy played Deputy Raineesha Williams in the TV series "Reno 911!" and was the hostess on "Clean House". She and her partner, Louis van Amstel, were eliminated in 5th place.

7. Which NFL star became romantically involved with his professional dance partner, Cheryl Burke, during the course of season 10?

Answer: Chad Ochocinco

Early in the competition, the chemistry between Chad and Cheryl was obvious. Chad even gave Cheryl a very large diamond ring during week three.

Answer: Brooke Burke

The former "Wild On!" hostess went from being a season 7 competitor (with professional partner Derek Hough) to interviewing the competitors in the new "Celebriquarium". The "Celebriquarium" was a new set design waiting room that allowed the competitors to see the dance floor and be closer to the audience instead of waiting behind the stage.

9. Which professional dancer is the only one to have competed in all of the first 10 seasons of "DWTS"?

Answer: Edita Sliwinska

Tony was not in the first season, but competed in the next nine. Derek first appeared as a guest instructor during season 4 and joined the cast of pros for season 5. Maks did not participate in seasons 1 and 6.

10. Arguably the best dancer of the season, which season 10 champion's coronation was full of controversy because of his/her previous dance experience?

Answer: Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole, lead singer/dancer for the "Pussycat Dolls", beat Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews in the finals to take home the mirror ball trophy. Many critics of hers claimed she had an unfair advantage due to all the dance training she received. Personally, I don't think it matters since figure skaters, cheerleaders, and gymnasts also go through similar training.
