Kendall Schmidt (voiceover): Last week on the DWTSGame, our brand-new batch of ballroom warriors took to the floor with their debut performances! After an eventful night, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt found himself in the top spot, with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and actor Nicolas Cage slid to last place.

Brittany Brannon (voiceover): This week, everyone returns with a second performance! After only a week to rehearse, will he see the pressure hit some of last week’s higher scorers? Will we see improvements from the stars who did not impress as much? Which four of our celebrities will be leaving on Sunday due to their job tonight? Find out! LIVE! This is Dancing with the Stars!

The opening sequence is shown. Jan and Corky do an elegant spin. Dez and Kym do a fierce, sexy pose. Nicolas and Edyta spin and smile. Sofia and Alec twirl delicately. Fran and Tristan do a few quick cheeky moves. Joseph and Peta perform a spin-lift. We look down on Mariska and Tony from an above-view camera. Amber and Val do a hot and sultry pose. Ryan performs a Tango hold with Natalie. George stands provocatively with Karina on his shoulder. Melissa comically throws her leg over Louis’s leg from behind him. Nicki kicks her leg up and Mark catches it in his hand. Sasha does a smooth pose with Cheryl. Clive twirls Anna in a 360-degree spin. Pitbull nods his head and dances casually behind Jeanine. Jorma holds Joy in a Tango pose. Lindsey kicks her leg over Derek’s arm and leans forward. Kristen does a Cha-Cha spin with Maksim. The DWTSGame logo is then show.

Brittany: Hello, and welcome to the DWTSGame! I’m Brittany Brannon!
Kendall: And I’m Kendall Schmidt! Well, we have a night full of performances in store for you that ensure to be even more entertaining than those of last week!
Brittany: Now, since their will be a quadruple elimination on Sunday, their scores tonight, combined with your votes over the past two weeks, really matter! With that being said, please welcome our stars!

The stars come down the moving staircases in this order: Kristen Wiig, Lindsey Vonn, Jorma Taccone, Sasha Mitchell, Fran Drescher, Ryan Lane, Amber Heard, Jan Brewer, Melissa McCarthy, Clive Owen, Pitbull, Sofia Coppola, Dez Bryant, George Lucas, Nicki Minaj, Mariska Hargitay, Nicolas Cage, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Kendall: Guys, you all look great! I can’t wait to see what you’ve all got in store! Who’s up first tonight, Brittany?
Brittany: Tonight’s first contestant is the man who last week scored a 16 for a Waltz to a classic rock song that didn’t exactly leave the judges impressed. With a wild latin dance this week, will he surprise us with his energetic performance? Its directing legend George Lucas and his partner, Karina Smirnoff!

In George’s video, he tells us that he was glad that his Waltz did not land him in last place… but he is terrified of having to learn the Samba! Karina has real trouble trying to teach him to move him hips and doing the Samba walks and turns. George says everyone will be surprised by this Samba in more ways than one!

Voiceover: Dancing the Samba, George Lucas and his partner, Karina Smirnoff.

George is in a black dress shirt; Karina is in a short grey leopard print dress with ruffle skirt. They dance to “Iko Iko” by Cyndi Lauper. Once finished, they walk over to Kendall.

Kendall: It was a lot cooler than you said it would be, George! Judges, please tell us your comments, starting with Head Judge, Natalie Sanders!
Natalie: Thanks Kendall. Well, George, you had a fun time last week and seemed to keep up with Karina decently… What happened this week? It was, for lack of a better comparison, a train-wreck of a performance.
Tony: Well you took my advice from last week. I definitely saw fun in this Samba! Unfortunately, it was a very slow Samba. Your hips were nonexistent and it didn't flow very well. You lost timing quite a few times, as well. If you're not one of the first four to be eliminated, really work hard to improve everything!
Valerie: Ouch! George, this was very unimpressive! I think that's all I can say, because I don't have any positive sides, other than you tried to be fun, but it just turned into a bit of a Steve Wozniak-type dance!
Kendall: Man, not the kind of comments we like hearing! Well George, please go up to Brittany in the skybox for your scores! Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as George and Karina arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! George, I’m sure you were hoping for better comments for your Samba, do you think the judges were too harsh on you?
George: Um, no. Their job is to be truthful, and if my dancing’s awful, they’re obligated to tell me. It’s fine!
Brittany: Well, we’re glad you’re staying positive, George! Let’s get your scores!

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

TOTAL: 13/30

Brittany: 13 points! That blows! Sorry, you guys! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thank you, Brittany! Next up tonight is the woman who completely let loose last week in an ambitious Cha-Cha that left two of our judges with smiles on their faces. With an elegant ballroom dance this week, can she impress all three judges? Its actress Melissa McCarthy and her partner, Louis van Amstel!

In Melissa’s video, Melissa is still exhilarated after her crazy Cha-Cha, but Louis agrees that it got a little out of control, so this week, they must work on Melissa’s hold and try to make her look as classy as possible while in the running sections of their Quickstep. Melissa is so excited to be acting classy this week!

Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Melissa McCarthy and her partner, Louis van Amstel.

Melissa is in a pink dress with a silk wrap around her arms and her hair in an updo; Louis is in a suit with pink shirt and white tie. They dance to “I Get A Kick Out Of You” by Frank Sinatra. Once finished they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: No way! You were so classy, Melissa! Good job! Judges, what did you think? Tony?
Tony: Well, it was an improvement over last week! A little slow at times, but it worked with the song well! I saw you struggling with the faster sections, but you didn't stop! That's admirable, Melissa! You are a lot of fun to watch, but technique still needs a little polishing!
Valerie: Yay, Melissa! You ooze fun, and I just loved this! I don't think there's much to say other than you're one to watch in this competition! Well done!
Natalie: We’ve just seen the crazy bridesmaid Megan turn into the graceful, elegant Melissa! It was such a great transformation! You really improved from last week! You kept up with Louis a little better and the work on your hold really paid off! You seemed a little more at home with this dance, so congratulations!
Kendall: Awesome comments! Please head on up to Brittany! Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as Melissa and Louis arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks, Kendall! So Melissa, we just saw your huge transformation into the belle of the ball. How do you feel, being all glammed up?
Melissa: I feel like I’m back at the Oscars, only this time, there’s an actual buffet backstage that you want to eat from! Haha!
Brittany: Well, I’ll have to take your word for it, Mel! Well, it’s time to get your scores.

Brittany: 21 points! An improvement over last week! Congratulations! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thanks Brit! Next up tonight is the woman who heated things up with a cosmic Cha-Cha that ignited the floor last week! Being known for her outrageous attitude and style, will she tone it down for a classy ballroom dance tonight? Its rapper Nicki Minaj and her partner, Mark Ballas!

In Nicki’s video, she says she was so excited to dance to one of her own songs and get great comments! Mark was amazed with how great she did, but this week she must buckle down and attack the gracefulness and elegance that is the Foxtrot! Mark comically trains her like one would train a princess to be more elegant, and Nicki surprisingly admits it’s working!

Voiceover: Dancing the Foxtrot, Nicki Minaj and her partner, Mark Ballas.

Nicki has black hair in a bun and is wearing a shiny silver gown; Mark is in a suit with white tie. They dance to “Mama Knows Best” by Jessie J. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Sassy Nicki is in the house! Haha! Let’s see if the judges thought the same. Valerie?
Valerie: I adored this! Mark, you've choreographed a killer routine, fit for a princess like Nicki, who's shown a real elegant side tonight! I'm so impressed!
Natalie: I was also impressed with this dance! Nicki, you looked so confident out there and it showed! Your holds and spins were all great! One first class performance, right there!
Tony: What I loved was the contemporary take on the Foxtrot. I thought that was great, Mark. I thought you were elegant too, Nicki, but here's where I disagree with Val. I think you over-performed the dance! You were trying to be elegant and then sassy so much – it turned me off a little! Your footwork was great, actually, but your hold was a little stiff! You've got potential, so just come out next week and give an amazing performance!
Kendall: Well, for the most part, they loved it! Go up to Brittany for some scores, please! B?

Brittany begins talking as Nicki and Mark arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks, K! AND NICKI! Holy cow, you killed it out there tonight! Do you think Mark’s princess training camp helped out the dance at all?
Nicki: It really did! You have no idea! I just wanna know where he got all that information about princesses! Haha!
Brittany: Well, Mark, whatever you did, it paid off! Now let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

TOTAL: 24/30

Brittany: 24 points! The first 9 of the season, as well as an improvement, for you Nicki! Great job! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thanks Brittany! Our next star is the woman that took one of our judges to a coffee shop in Italy with her Waltz last week! Will she still produce the same images once she gets down and dirty with a latin dance this week? Its director Sofia Coppola and her partner, Alec Mazo

In Sofia’s video, she admits she was very nervous as the judges pointed out last week. Alec wants her to forget about the audience and only dance for him this week. Sofia is actually having fun with her Samba, as she finds it very sexy! She hopes to impress!

Voiceover: Dancing the Samba, Sofia Coppola and her partner, Alec Mazo.

Sofia has frizzy hair and is in a short red Samba dress; Alec is in an unbuttoned red dress shirt. They dance to “Baila Esta Cumbia” by Selena. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Sofia, you had so much fun! Great job! Let’s get the judges’ verdict now. Natalie?
Natalie: Sofia! I’m proud of you for letting your nervousness go this week! You seemed to have so much more fun! But still, I could see you were pretty wooden in some of your steps and your hips weren’t the greatest! Try and work on those next week!
Tony: A step backward, I think. Your shoulders were so high, I almost couldn't see you neck! You need to have fun! It's the Samba, the dance of the Carnival! You were wooden throughout and you looked terrified, like "Oh gosh, am I going to get the next step?" If you're back next week, your homework is to just relax, hun!
Valerie: Sorry Sofia, but I don't think you pulled off that Latin flair that Selena had. You tried your best, but tonight it didn't work, which really is a real shame! Sorry!
Kendall: Well, we LOVED it! Please head up to Brittany for your scores!

Brittany begins talking as Sofia and Alec arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thank you, Kendall! Sofia, although the judges didn’t notice, we saw that you had a blast! Now, were you trying to channel Selena through this dance?
Sofia: Actually, it was a mix between Selena and Gloria Estefan! I’m just frustrated I still came off as Sofia! Haha!
Brittany: Don’t worry! You did great! Let’s get your scores.

Brittany: 16 points! Darn! Sofia, I’m sorry! We hope you’re back next week! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thank you, Brittany! Our next star is the woman who wooed our judges last week with an elegant Waltz that she admits was almost like skiing. Will she say the same when she dances a sexy Samba tonight? Its professional skier Lindsey Vonn and her partner, Derek Hough!

In Lindsey’s video, she’s so grateful that the judges liked her performance. She admits it makes her want to impress them even more. This week, with the Samba, Lindsey is having some trouble shaking things loose and letting go of her nerves! Derek tries to help her get more into the funk of things by taking her to a Brazilian night club to see first hand how to shake her booty like she should! She says it really helped!

Voiceover: Dancing the Samba, Lindsey Vonn and her partner, Derek Hough.

Lindsey is in a small bronze Samba outfit with ruffle skirt; Derek is in an unbuttoned bronze dress shirt. They dance to “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Good thing that dance was only 90 seconds long! Any longer and the Fire Department would’ve had to hose you off! Haha! Let’s get the judges’ reactions. Tony?
Tony: Whoa! I didn't know Lindsey Vonn could do sexy like that! I don't know if I could handle you, but I liked what I saw! My only issue was that your hips were a little awkward at times. Keep dancing like that Lindsey, because you'll go far!
Valerie: Team Linderek, I'm so ready for your jelly! Haha! This was fun, quirky, exciting and so much more, it really fit the song and I've never seen a booty like that on someone like you, Lindsey Vonn! Bravo!
Natalie: I hate to be the odd one out, but it was just a tiny bit off for me. Lindsey, you danced it fantastically for a star such as yourself, but you weren’t as sexy as you really tried to be! It just looked a little too serious. Have more fun next week!
Kendall: Well, we loved it Natalie! Please go up to Brittany!

Brittany begins talking as Lindsey and Derek arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thank you Kendall! Lindsey, you were so HOT out there! Did you ever think you would be dancing like that on this show?
Lindsey: HELL - NO! Haha! I was expecting to do a Waltz every week all season, and that’d be good! But regardless, I had one great time out there!
Brittany: That’s all we want, girl! Let’s get your scores.

Kendall: Our next contestant tonight is the man who danced a Rumba-y Cha-Cha to great reviews from our judges! Can he slow it down and class things up with a Quickstep this week? Its NFL quarterback, Dez Bryant and his partner, Kym Johnson!

In Dez’s video, he’s surprised that he got such awesome comments last week – and wants more this week! Kym must use a prop bar in order to work on Dez’s frame this week, which Dez laughs at having to use! Regardless, Kym thinks she’s struck gold with this Quickstep!

Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Dez Bryant and his partner, Kym Johnson.

Dez is in a tuxedo; Kym has short curly hair and is in a flower-print dress. They dance to “1234” by the Plain White T’s. Once finished, they walk over to Kendall.

Kendall: Wow! I think they’ll have to call you Twinkle Toes from now on! Now, time to get our judges’ take on things. Valerie?
Valerie: For me, it wasn't as good as your first dance, but I could see that you had given it a go, so well done! You definitely deserve to stay!
Natalie: I think you were quite light on your feet this week, Dez! It was a little gushy to watch, but there’ll always be those kinds of dances! And your frame was a little stiff, still. Try working on that next time!
Tony: Well it was a sweet dance, probably the sweetest Quickstep I've ever seen! Your posture fell quite a few times in that dance Dez, but Val is right, it wasn't as good as your Cha-Cha!  However, you've got huge potential, I really hope you stay!
Kendall: Ugh! Not the greatest comments, but not bad! Go on up to Brit for your scores! Brittany, up to you!

Brittany begins talking as Dez and Kym arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Dez, do you think your teammates on the Cowboys will make fun of you for this dance?
Dez: Of course they will! They’re such funny comedians like that! Haha! I don’t care, though!
Brittany: No matter what they say, it was so cool! Let’s get your scores.

Kendall: Thank you, Brittany! Next up is the woman who made us all plotz last week with her unique Cha-Cha and earned an impressive 19 points! Will her scores improve this week with a classy Foxtrot? Its film and television star Fran Drescher and her partner, Tristan MacManus!

In Fran’s video, she loved dancing to a song named after her idol last week! This week – she must take a different turn as she must attack the gracefulness of the Foxtrot, and also has the added challenge of channeling a country music legend with her music! Tristan thinks Fran will rock it this week!

Voiceover: Dancing the Foxtrot, Fran Drescher and her partner, Tristan MacManus.

Fran is in a pink, short-sleeved dress with her hair done like Patsy Cline; Tristan is in a brown suit. They dance to “Walking After Midnight” by Patsy Cline. Once finished, they walk to Kendall!

Kendall: That was amazing, Fran! Let’s see what the judges thought! Natalie?
Natalie: I totally agree, Kendall! Fran, last week, you had some fun, but this week, you got serious and gave us one heck of a Foxtrot! I loved it! You could not have been more like Patsy Cline if you tried! Great job! I can’t wait for more of your dances!
Tony: Well Fran, you've done it again! The Queen of Acting showed me up with this Foxtrot! I love how after two weeks, you show such an ease of motion and you nail the character so well! A few technical problems here and there, though, but still, the crowd loves you, Fran, and I think I do, too!
Valerie: I’m pleasantly surprised! This was a really fun routine, Team MacFranus! You picked up that real Patsy Cline country essence and it was awesome!
Kendall: Some amazing comments! Congratulations! Up to Brittany, please! Brit?

Brittany begins talking as Fran and Tristan arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thank you Kendall! Fran, how hard was it to have such a fun time last week and then have to become a serious ballroom dancer, channeling Patsy Cline?
Fran: It was a real challenge, but I had so much fun! I’m so impressed with Tristan’s choreography! He’s a natural at this stuff!
Brittany: Well, you looked like you were having a blast, Fran! Let’s get your scores.

Kendall: Our next star tonight is the man who last week gave us a surprisingly tender performance when he danced a Waltz to some great comments! Can he get some more great comments this week with a Jive? Its television star Sasha Mitchell and his partner, Cheryl Burke!

In Sasha’s video, he says he’s glad that his Waltz was so well received, but can’t wait for the Jive. He says he’s a fun loving guy, and the Jive is the perfect dance for him! Cheryl is surprised by Sasha’s technique with the dance! She knows this will be his dance!

Voiceover: Dancing the Jive, Sasha Mitchell and his partner, Cheryl Burke.

Sasha is in a black vest; Cheryl is in a small maroon dress and has her hair in a ponytail. They dance to “Dead Ringer For Love” by Meatloaf and Cher. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: That looked just awesome! Let’s see what the judges thought of it. Tony?
Tony: Lighting fast and full of fun! I did see some improvement this week! But at the same time, I saw some moments that were less than perfect. Technically speaking, you were amazing. You lost a little control every now and then! I think you got a little too excited, but the dance was loads of fun!
Valerie: Now, this dance was better than your Waltz! Great routine! I'm excited to see more of you!
Natalie: Call me crazy, Sasha, but I think you just may be the surprise hit of the season! That Jive was so entertaining and you kept up with Cheryl incredibly! Great job!
Kendall: Great comments! Please go up to Brittany! BB?

Brittany begins talking as Sasha and Cheryl arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks KS! Sasha, do you think you’ll be the unexpected dark horse this season?
Sasha: Haha! That’d be an awesome title to carry! I don’t know! I think I’m doing good! I’d love to stay on here for a long time!
Brittany: I totally think you will! Let’s get your scores.

Kendall: Next up is the man who had fun last week with his Cha-Cha, but surprisingly landed in last place when the show was over! With a more dignified performance this week, can he clean up his act? Its actor Nicolas Cage and his partner, Edyta Sliwinska!

In Nicolas’s video, he was a little shocked to have landed in last place! He only hopes that this week will be better! Edyta uses a prop bar on Nicolas, which Nicolas admits works, but makes him look like Frankenstein! Edyta hopes he doesn’t dance like Frankenstein, though!

Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Nicolas Cage and his partner, Edyta Sliwinska.

Nicolas is in a white suit with blue tie; Edyta is in a red dress with her hair in a bun to the side of her head. They dance to “Devil In Disguise” by Elvis Presley. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

 Kendall: Great job, you guys! I saw an improvement! Let’s see if the judges agree. Valerie?
Valerie: This was a lot better than your first dance, once again! You seemed a lot more fun and dapper in this dance, now I'm seeing potential!
Natalie: Nicolas, you seemed to do better with this dance! I think you could surprise us if you stay longer and do more ballroom dances! This wasn’t as sloppy as last week and you seemed to actually enjoy yourself!
Tony: Valerie is right! This was better than last week!  In the faster parts of the song, you were really trying hard to keep up with Edyta, and it showed unfortunately. I didn't see you disconnect this week, I think you really did improve this week, Nicolas! I hope you're back next week because I want to see how you improve!
Kendall: Better comments this time! Please head on up to Brittany for your scores! Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as Nicolas and Edyta arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Nic, what was your biggest fear coming back here after coming in last place last week?
Nicolas: I guess my biggest fear was that I would come out and be ten times worse than last week! I’m glad the judges seemed to like this dance better!
Brittany: I think they liked it better, too! Let’s get your scores.

Kendall: Thank you Brittany! Next up tonight is the woman who danced first last week with a Cha-Cha that got her some great scores and comments! With a classy performance tonight, will she still do as well? Its comedienne and actress Kristen Wiig and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy!

In Kristen’s video, she hopes that her Foxtrot goes by as smoothly as her Cha-Cha! Maks says she is a little shy this week, which worries him! Kristen looks forward to seeing what the judges think this week!

Voiceover: Dancing the Foxtrot, Kristen Wiig and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Kristen has her hair in an updo and is in a light purple dress; Maksim is in a suit with light purple tie. They dance to “Crash Your Party” by Karmin. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Great job, Kristen! Let’s find out what the judges thought! Natalie?
Natalie: Kristen, I didn’t see anything worse this week – but there wasn’t a huge improvement. You seemed upbeat and had fun, but it was a little messy in some areas where I’m sure we wanted you to glide smoothly.
Tony: While I don't think the song fits the Foxtrot, I think you two did well considering. I saw you thinking, Kristen, which isn't a good thing to see. You seemed a little uncomfortable with the dance and your hold was a little slouchy. If you're back next week, I want to see the happy and fun loving Kristen again!
Valerie: To be honest, I didn't feel this one as much, Kristen. I think you're better suited towards the Latin routines, a lot more essence.
Kendall: Man, sorry Kristen! Please go to Brittany up there! Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as Kristen and Maksim arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thank you Kendall! Kristen, how shy were you this week with that light of a dance?
Kristen: I guess I’ve figured out that I’m more suited for latin dances! Who would’ve guessed? Haha!
Brittany: Well, this was still a fun dance! Let’s get your scores.

Kendall: Thank you Brittany! Our next star is the woman who shined last week with a Waltz that had our judges mesmerized! With an energetic latin dance this week, will the judges still have great things to say about her afterwards? Its television and film star Mariska Hargitay and her partner, Tony Dovolani!

In Mariska’s video, she is so giddy with excitement to be learning the Jive! She thinks she can handle the fast pace of the dance, and is ready for some energy after her slow Waltz! Tony is surprised with how upbeat Mariska is towards the Jive! He thinks this could mean good things!

Voiceover: Dancing the Jive, Mariska Hargitay and her partner, Tony Dovolani.

Mariska has her hair in ponytail and is in a yellow dress; Tony is in a yellow dress shirt. They dance to “Can I Get A Witness” by Marvin Gaye. Once finished, they walk to Kendall

Kendall: You danced the heck out of that Jive, Mariska! Let’s see if the judges agree. Tony?
Tony: Well, these Jives are all full of fun tonight! I saw this huge smile on your face, Mariska, and it brought one to my face! You can do ballroom, and this shows you can do latin! I think your kicks could have been a little sharper, but I love watching you!
Valerie: That was delicious! I loved it! You had the full cheek you need in the Jive! You completely excited me tonight, all I can say is well done!
Natalie: Mariska – you remind me of Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts – both older actresses who did well in their ballroom but really knocked our socks off with their Jives! Now, they both won, do you think you can? I think if you give more high quality performances like this, you could!
Kendall: Great comments, Mariska! Go up to Brittany to see how the scores turn out. Brit?

Brittany begins talking as Mariska and Tony arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thank you, Kendall! Now, Mariska, can you tell us what made you so happy about doing the Jive?
Mariska: I was just so excited that I got to do something so fun! If I could, I would dance latin every week! Sure, I would be as dead as a cat by the end of the season, but still! Haha!
Brittany: Well, we may give you some more ballroom, Mariska, because we don’t want you as dead as a cat! Haha! Let’s get your scores.

Kendall: Thanks Brit! Next up is the man who last week surprised the judges just by stepping foot on the floor, although his scores weren’t the highest! With a more energetic dance this week, can he entertain the judges more this week? It’s the DWTSGame Become A Contestant winner Ryan Lane and his partner, Natalie Lowe!

In Ryan’s video, he says he loved his first dance, and is super excited to learn the Samba! He thinks that he will really please the judges this week! Natalie is having so much fun with Ryan and knows he will make the crowd go wild if nothing else happens!

Ryan is in a gold dress shirt; Natalie has frizzy hair and is in a short gold dress with a ruffle skirt. They dance to “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: I loved it! Great job Ryan! Let’s see what the judges thought! Valerie?
Valerie: I quite enjoyed this, strangely! On paper, I wouldn't have expected it to work, but you two worked as a good combo, so good luck!
Natalie: It was a little more strange than cute, to me! It was fun and you had fun while dancing it, but with the music and type of moves, it seemed more like a Disco/Cha-Cha than a Samba. I think if you’re back next week, you’ll do better with different music!
Tony: Oddly, I liked it! You seemed more at home with latin, Ryan. Valerie is right, on paper this would have been a train wreck, but I'm so glad you proved me wrong! It wasn't the best Samba of the night, but it was much, much better than your Waltz! Great job, Ryan!
Kendall: I think we’re in for higher scores this week! Please go up and get your scores! Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as Ryan and Natalie arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Ryan, we all know that ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ one of the most popular old songs to people your age. How much of an honor was it to dance to it this week?
Ryan: I absolutely loved it! It’s one of my favorite dirty pleasure songs and to get to dance to it was a dream come true! This is an amazing experience!
Brittany: So glad you’re having fun, Ryan! Let’s get your scores.

In Amber’s video, she is shocked at how much the judges liked her Cha-Cha! With a punk-rock themed Quickstep this week, Val hopes she can keep up her stamina and keep up with him. Amber is determined to do as well as last week – or even better!

Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Amber Heard and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy.

Kendall: What an epic Quickstep! I loved it! Let’s hear what the judges have to say. Natalie?
Natalie: It was a little jumbled for a Quickstep. The Quickstep is all about light jumps and quick footwork, obviously! This Quickstep seemed just like a punk rock… thing. I liked your Cha-Cha a little better! Try harder next week!
Tony: Well, well, well! You proved me wrong, Amber! I was afraid your Ballroom wasn't going to be as good as your Latin. A few places you lost it just a tiny bit, but THIS was the dance of the night, for me! You took an unconventional, yet appropriate, song for Quickstep, and turned it into a classy dance! Like I said last week, I want to see more of you, you're fantastic!
Valerie: This was just wonderful! I really enjoyed it, you both managed to take a rock song of sorts and change it into this elegant Quickstep! I'm not gonna lie, I was uber-impressed!
Kendall: For the most part, everyone loved it! Please go up to Brittany for your scores! B?

Brittany begins talking as Amber and Val arrive to the skybox.

Brittany
: Thanks Kendall! So, Amber, were you scared that the judges would’ve eaten you up because the song for your Quickstep?
Amber: Not gonna lie! I was a little scared! But Val did amazing with the choreography! I thought it was as close to a Quickstep as possible with the song! I don’t regret the song at all!
Brittany: It is a great song, Amber! Let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

Valerie Hashburntar: 9
Natalie Sanders: 7
Tony Klespis: 9

TOTAL: 25/30

Brittany: 25 points! That’s the highest score of the season so far! Seriously proud of you, Amber! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Tonight’s next star is the man that slid into third place with a shockingly graceful Waltz last week that amazed our judges! With a Jive this week, will he impress them even more? Its actor Clive Owen and his partner, Anna Trebunskaya!

In Clive’s video, he’s happy with the results of his Waltz and eager to move on – but is petrified to learn his next dance is the Jive! He is a little out of synch with Anna when it comes to kicks and flicks. He just hopes that the dance is not a flop!

Voiceover: Dancing the Jive, Clive Owen and his partner, Anna Trebunskaya.

Clive is in a leather jacket with greaser-style hair; Anna has frizzy hair and is in a short white outfit. They dance to “Rock This Town” by the Stray Cats. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: You did great you guys! Just marvelous! Now, what did out judges think? We’ll start with Tony.
Tony: I saw a few moments of hesitation here and there and a few timing issues, Clive. I hate to say this, but last week was better than this. You have the potential to do so well, and it kills me to see something like this happen to a contender! Maybe it was nerves, but I want to see the confidence in your ballroom translated to your Latin.
Valerie: Well done Clive! However, I think you're more suited to ballroom. It brings out your personality more. This didn't suit you, in my opinion, but I still liked it!
Natalie: If nothing else – it was entertaining to see you let loose and have a blast, Clive! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you have as much fun in any of your movies than you just had out here. Yes, there was a certain amount of timidness to it, but I think it was a good try!
Kendall: Not too terrible comments! Go up to Brittany for your scores, please. Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as Clive and Anna arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Clive, how hard was it to just go out and act crazy this week with that Jive? We know how refined and reserved you can be.
Clive: It was pretty tough to have to act like a goof out there, but if it gets me through to next week, I won’t complain! Ha!
Brittany: Alright, you! Haha! Let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

Valerie Hashburntar: 6
Natalie Sanders: 7
Tony Klespis: 6

TOTAL: 19/30

Brittany: 19 points! Well, those are a little lower than we expected, so we hope your fans can pull you through to next week, Clive! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thanks Brittany! Next up tonight is the man who danced with our reigning champion last week to less than favorable scores from our judges. This week, with a refined ballroom dance, will we see a new, smoother side to him? Its singer and comedy writer Jorma Taccone and his partner, Joy Spears!

In Jorma’s video, he is a little disappointed with how low his scores from last week were, but with a Foxtrot this week, he believes he can improve them! Joy is having trouble choreographing their dance to a tricky song, so Jorma and Joy have their fingers crossed this week!

Voiceover: Dancing the Foxtrot, Jorma Taccone and his partner, Joy Spears.

Jorma is in a suit with light blue tie; Joy has her hair in an updo and is wearing a light blue dress with gloves. They dance to “Ass Back Home” by Gym Class Heroes and Neon Hitch. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: This’s a different Jorm than we saw last week! Wow! Let’s see what the judges thought. Val?
Valerie: I tell you what, this was a good risk taken! It's quite an R&B/hip-hop song, so to put it with the Foxtrot is certainly interesting! But it really, really worked! However, the technique still needs to improve!
Natalie: You looked a little happier while dancing this, Jorma! Maybe you’ll surprisingly be better with the ballroom dances! It was a good effort, but the footwork was still a little sloppy and choppy! Keep working on that!
Tony: Now that's what I'm talking about, Jorma! You had this big goofy grin on your face throughout the dance! Joy, you managed to cope with the rap part of the song really well!  I'm impressed!
Kendall: Better comments than last week! Congrats! Please head on up to Brittany for your scores! Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as Jorma and Joy arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Jorma, were the judges right, do you like ballroom dances more than latin dances?
Jorma: Well, both embarrass the crap out of me, so I don’t really guess it matters! Haha!
Brittany: Don’t be embarrassed, silly! Let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

Valerie Hashburntar: 6
Natalie Sanders: 6
Tony Klespis: 6

TOTAL: 18/30

Brittany: 18 points! Slightly higher than last week! Good job! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Okay Brittany! Our next star is the woman who had the most genuine connection with her partner last week, yet sadly landed in last place. With a fun dance this week, will she manage to get higher scores? It’s Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and her partner, Corky Ballas!

In Jan’s video, Jan doesn’t really worry about last week, she is just anxious to do her Jive! She hopes she has enough energy to do the whole dance. Corky is confident that Jan will do good!

Voiceover: Dancing the Jive, Jan Brewer and her partner, Corky Ballas.

Jan has her hair in a ponytail and is wearing a white/black polka dot dress with pink jacket; Corky is in a pink dress shirt. They dance to “Still The One” by John Hall. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: I liked it, Jan! Let’s get the judges thoughts. Natalie?
Natalie: Jan, I love you, but this was just not good! The Jive is bouncy, and at times you almost had to hobble around. The bounce and hip action were not there at all, and the tricks you attempted to do took too long! It was just uninteresting. So sorry, Jan!
Tony: Oh Jan, I know age is just a number, but it really showed in this Jive unfortunately. I love how you just let it all hang out and have fun, and I would give you a 10 for your smile! The dance was very stiff and lacked a lot of content and wasn't too great.
Valerie: Sorry, but Jan, this wasn't good. Not much more I can say other than it just needs a lot of brushing up if you get through to Week 3. Sorry.
Kendall: Man, those are some tough comments! Head on up to B, please! Brit?

Brittany begins talking as Jan and Corky arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Jan, do you think you really gave the Jive a good effort this week?
Jan: Regardless of what the judges say, I gave it 101% effort and I was happy with the result! It was very fun!
Brittany: We’re glad you’re so positive about things! Let’s get your scores.

TOTAL: 13/30

Brittany: 13 points! Man, I’m so sorry, Jan! We really hope for the best! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Our next star who swooped in at the end of last weeks show to land in first place with our judges! This week, will he be able to break the bar that Amber set earlier tonight? Let’s find out. Its actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd!

In Joseph’s video, he was thrilled to end Week 1 in first place! He cannot wait to dance the Jive this week, which Peta has a peculiar theme for their dance, but Joseph loves it! They hope this week is another knockout!

Voiceover: Dancing the Jive, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd.

Joseph has his hair slicked back and is in a short sleeve v-neck brown dress shirt; Peta is in a short brown outfit with frizzy hair. They dance to “Jungle Love” by the Steve Miller Band. Once finished they walk to Kendall!

Kendall: I loved it, Joseph! Do the judges agree? Tony?
Tony: I don't know about this one, to be honest. It was clean, your kicks were good. But the dance didn't have that "wow" factor we look for in the Jive for me; nothing big happened. This season is tough because you're all so good! Our expectations are high, and I was expecting more in this Jive, I'm sorry.
Valerie: You two have wonderful chances in this show, and I cannot wait to see more from you. Great job!!!
Natalie: Is it weird that this dance somehow reminded me of Everybody Loves Raymond? Haha! Anyways, I thought it was actually one of the best dances of the night! Joseph, you seemed to have a genuine blast out there and it showed! Great job!
Kendall: Well, two out of three is good! Please go up to Brittany! B?

Brittany begins talking as Joseph and Peta arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Joseph, why did you love the Jungle theme for your Jive so much?
Joseph: You know, I’m not really sure! It just seemed so original and I think Peta did phenomenal! I loved this week! Haha!
Brittany: Oh, you guys are so cute! Haha! Let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

Valerie Hashburntar: 8
Natalie Sanders: 8
Tony Klespis: 7

TOTAL: 23/30

Brittany: 23 points! MAN! I wanted 9’s! Haha! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Well Brittany, we’ve gotten to our final dance again! Last up is the man who last week didn’t seem to impress our judges too much with his Spanish fusion in the Cha-Cha. When he’s assigned a Quickstep, will his dapper-ness impress them more? Let’s see! Its rapper Pitbull and his partner, Jeanine Mason!

In Pitbull’s video, he is proud of how last week turned out. He had so much fun, but it’s now time to focus on Dance #2, the Quickstep! Jeanine is happier with Pitbull’s progress this week and hopes the judges notice the improvement!

Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Pitbull and his partner, Jeanine Mason.

Pitbull is in a white suit with blue bowtie; Jeanine is in a light blue dress. They dance to “Around The World” by Buddy Greco. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Pitbull, was that really you out there? Haha! Let’s get the judges comments, starting with Valerie!
Valerie: Another quite good routine, you remind me of Lil Wayne, who really surprised us, but got robbed. Hopefully you'll stay longer!
Natalie: I loved the little story you incorporated! It was cute! Who would’ve thought Pitbull could ever clean up so well? It was very in synch and you seemed to know the dance better! Great job!
Tony: Loved the song, loved the story, and I'm warming up to you Pitbull! It was an improvement over last week! You lost it in one of the runs towards the end, but I enjoyed the dance! Watch out everyone else, Pitbull's coming for you!
Kendall: Wow! Great comments, you guys! Go up to Brittany for your scores, please! Brittany?

Brittany begins talking as Pitbull and Jeanine arrive to the skybox.

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! P, great job with that dance out there! Will we see more of the Frank Sinatra-type Pitbull later this season?
Pitbull: Hah! I’m no Frank Sinatra, but it was crazy getting to act all fancy this week! I wanna do more dances like that! Haha!
Brittany: We hope you do, P! Let’s get your scores.
