Niecy is certainly the most entertaining star to watch on the parquet, but her technique still leaves much to be desired. Now she must try to up her game while simultaneously juggling her Clean House hosting duties.

Jake Pavelka and Chelsie Hightower (tie)
Jake wowed and wooed us by going pantless for his very amusing Risky Business cha-cha. Not-so-amusing? His constant missteps during his performances. He has to have a clean routine one day, right?

Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Erin showed improvement and promise in her jive, but the judges woefully underscored her. Can she win them and our users over to break out of the middle pack?

Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunksaya
The Olympic champ has fallen off the (power rankings) podium despite a swoon-worthy rumba. (Fun fact: The U.S. Figure Skating Championships hands out pewter medals to fourth-place finishers.) Evan, however, has never placed lower than second with the judges' scores... but it is the votes that matter the most.

Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood (tie)
Pam put on a pretty uneven quickstep and wound up in the bottom two for the second time. Still, our users think she has what it takes to make it to the final week.

Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke
Chad remains in the hunt despite a lackluster quickstep — though in his defense "The Bare Necessities" isn't the best tune to quickstep to — and a disappointing score of 18. Can stage a comeback this week and prove his fans' votes are not for naught?

Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough (tie)
After her rumba meltdown, Nicole bounced back with her tango to nab the season-high score of 29. Our users also see her as the one to beat for the Mirrorball.
