After scoring the first perfect 10 of the competition during last week's show, "Dancing with the Stars" Brooke Burke and Derek Hough are hitting the dance floor even harder this week in hopes of continuing their run as the couple to beat.

"It definitely will encourage us to keep working that hard," Brooke says of her perfect 10 score. "We set the bar pretty high, so hopefully we can keep doing it."

Last week's "Dancing with the Stars" certainly had its dramatic highs and lows. From Misty May-Treanor's sudden and disastrous departure to Brooke and Derek's perfect 10, and then finally to the show's lowest scoring couple --Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff -- getting saved from elimination for one more week of competition. "DWTS" certainly keeps viewers on their toes.

The 37-year-old mother of four and her pro-partner hope that their upcoming performance will be no different.

Catch the couple spicing-up the dance floor Monday night on ABC.
