Kendall Schmidt (voiceover): Last week on the DWTSGame, everyone hit the floor for a second time with a different style than the one they had danced in Week 1. When things were shaken up, Joseph saw a slight decrease in scores, Jan and George fled to the bottom of the leaderboard again, and Amber stole the show and landed in first place! After all was danced and done, Kristen, Sofia, Pitbull, and Jorma were all sent home.

Brittany Brannon (voiceover): This week, things are about to get personal as our celebrities each create a routine based on a story from their lives. With so many different stories, and a lot of dramatic performances to ensue, who will take the cake this week? 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! This week, on the show, is Personal Story Week, in which everyone’s dance has some sort of back-story behind it!
Brittany: We seriously are so anxious to see what our stars have come up with! So, please, welcome our stars!

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

Kendall: We really do have a bunch of great dances to come tonight! Who’s up first tonight, Brittany?
Brittany: Tonight’s first contestant is the man who last week upped his game with a Jive that got the judges on his side, giving him a 21! Will he see an even bigger improvement with a personal story dance? Its actor Sasha Mitchell and his partner, Cheryl Burke!

In Sasha’s video, he’s glad to have made it through to Personal Story week, because he wants to dedicate his dance to wife, Rachel, with the song they played at their wedding! Cheryl is surprised at how sweet and romantic Sasha can be while doing the dance and Sasha hopes it shows on Wednesday!

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

Sasha is in a light blue dress shirt; Cheryl is in a small light blue outfit. They dance to “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers. Once finished, they walk over to Kendall.

Kendall: Well done, Sash! The women are all fanning themselves right now! Judges, please tell us your comments, starting with Head Judge, Natalie Sanders!
Natalie: Thanks Kendall. Wow, Sasha! I can tell you’ll be our tender male contestant this season! You danced the Rumba so passionately and really complimented Cheryl throughout. It was so emotional and I think you both felt a connection!
Tony: By far, your best performance! Your hip action was actually really good! Natalie is right, the emotions were there; they were almost tangible! Work on your footwork, you were a little pigeon toed, but an amazing performance. Well done.
Valerie: Well done Sasha! I definitely think you gave a good romantic performance! To be honest, it could have been better, but I still liked it, well done!
Kendall: Great first comments for the night! Sasha, Cheryl, please go up to Brittany in the skybox for your scores! Brittany?

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

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Sasha, this week, we’ll be asking everyone how they think their story was received by the audience. How do you think they liked it?
Sasha: I hope they liked it! It was all for my wife, and I’m glad I got to do it! Love you, Rach!
Brittany: Aww! Let’s get your scores!

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

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

TOTAL: 23/30

Brittany: 23 points! You guys just keep doing better and better! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thank you, Brittany! Next up tonight is the woman that let loose last week to really get into her Jive! And her energy paid off, getting her higher scores that Week 1! Now, this week, can she score even better with another ballroom dance? Its actress Mariska Hargitay and her partner, Tony Dovolani!

In Mariska’s video, she was thrilled to make it to Week 3! For her personal story, she wants to dedicate her Foxtrot to her mother Jayne Mansfield by dancing to a song by Marilyn Monroe (her mother’s close friend). Tony thinks this will be Mariska’s best dance yet!

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

Mariska is in a white dress with curly hair; Tony is in a suit with grey tie. They dance to “I Wanna Be Loved By You” by Marilyn Monroe. Once finished they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Classy stuff, Hargie! Classy stuff! Haha! Judges, what did you think? Tony?
Tony: I can tell tonight is going to be full of amazing dances. Mariska, you are just a vision of grace and elegance when you step out on to this floor; and this Foxtrot was no exception! Your shoulders were a little high, but the performance was unforgettable!
Valerie: Mariska, you're a star! This was classy, elegant, and just fantastic all around! I think your mother, who is dearly missed, would be so, so proud of you!
Natalie: Mariska, first off – you make one hell of a Hollywood Glam girl! Second off – awesome tribute to your mother and one of her great friends! Thirdly, the dancing was great! You glided elegantly across the floor and really seduced us all, but in such a playful way! It was a hot Foxtrot! Great job!
Kendall: Awesome comments! Please head on up to Brittany! Brittany?

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

Brittany: Thanks, Kendall! So Hargie, I love that nickname by the way, anything you want to say about the story to your dance?
Mariska: I just wanted to do something special for my mom. I miss her so much and to get to dedicate a dance to her, and Marilyn, was more than I could’ve wished for!
Brittany: How sweet! Well, it’s time to get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

Valerie Hashburntar: 9

Tony Klespis: 8

TOTAL: 25/30

Brittany: 25 points! Great scores, Hargie! Haha! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thanks Brit! Next up tonight is the woman who brought some of her spunkiest steps to the floor last week in a Foxtrot that got her the first 9 of the season. Will she be seeing more tonight? Its rapper Nicki Minaj and her partner, Mark Ballas!

In Nicki’s video, she knows what the story for her dance will be! She wants to do a ‘payback’ dance to all of her past boyfriends, and also remind women that breaking up with a man is usually for the best! Mark loves the idea for the dance and creates a pretty hot routine!

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

Nicki has blonde hair and is wearing a small white outfit; Mark is in an unbuttoned white dress shirt. They dance to “Think Like A Man” by Jennifer Hudson and Ne-Yo. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Nicki, you just keep killing these dances! Haha! Let’s see if the judges thought the same. Valerie?
Valerie: Nicki, this was wonderful. I really got the soulful message. I didn't think there was anything that made it too special, however, but it was still very good!
Natalie: Wow Nicki! An original choice for a personal story! I liked the idea for the dance, and plus – the dance itself was SMOKIN’ HOT! You seduced the hell out of that performance and you really dominated Mark. It was a great dance!
Tony: Diamond in the rough, you are Nicki. Again, it was a little over the top for me, but it was better than the last two weeks. You have hip action for days. But I agree with Val, there wasn't anything that special about it.
Kendall: All in all, some great comments! Go up to Brittany for some scores, please! B?

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

Brittany: Thanks, Kendall! Now Nicki, I wanted to ask – in Week 1: pink hair, last week: black hair, this week: blonde hair. Will your hair be a different color every week?
Nicki: Haha! I have no idea. You’ll have to vote and see!
Brittany: Ah, an incentive! Haha! Now let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

Valerie Hashburntar: 8
Natalie Sanders: 9
Tony Klespis: 8

TOTAL: 25/30

Brittany: 25 points! Another 9 for you guys from Natalie! Great job! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thanks Brittany! Our next star is the man whose scores fell a little bit with a Quickstep that still got the judges saying ‘it was the sweetest Quickstep they’ve ever seen’. With another feisty dance this week, will he see his scores back to how they started? Its NFL star Dez Bryant and his partner, Kym Johnson!

In Dez’s video, he was afraid that, being in the bottom-three last week, he would not even be here! He wants his story to be about being drafted by the NFL in 2010, which made him feel accomplished by being noticed by such a prestigious organization. Kym really pushes Dez to let loose for the Samba he wants to dance!

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

Dez is in a black vest; Kym has frizzy hair and is in a small orange dress with ruffles. They dance to “Upgrade U” by Beyoncé. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Awesome, Dez! It looked like tons of fun! Let’s get the judges’ verdict now. Natalie?
Natalie: Dez! This was cool! You and Kym got funky this week and you looked like you had a ton of fun. The song was pumpin’ and made me wanna get out there with you! Good job!
Tony: That Samba was fun, fun, fun! The story was one that everyone can relate to, I think! Everyone wants to strive for something more, and that's what you told here tonight. I enjoyed it a lot!
Valerie: Hey Dez! What a fun routine! You floated across the floor with the exciting rhythms. You did really well and I'm so happy the public have given you a chance here!
Kendall: Great comments, you guys! Please head up to Brittany for your scores!

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

Brittany: Thank you, Kendall! Dez, anything you want to say about your story this week?
Dez: Tony really took the words out of my mouth. Everyone wants to do better in this world and that’s what I was trying to tell people! I’m glad they liked it.
Brittany: They really did! Let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

Natalie Sanders: 7
Tony Klespis: 8

TOTAL: 23/30

Brittany: 23 points! Not only did you improve over last week, but you just earned your highest score so far! Congrats! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thank you, Brittany! Our next star is the man that underwhelmed our judges last week with a Samba that showed little footwork and no hip action! With a ballroom dance this week, will his scores be more reliable? It’s directing legend George Lucas and his partner, Karina Smirnoff.

In George’s video, he was surprised to make it past Week 2! He decided to dedicate his Tango this week to his wife, Kate Capshaw, and her nickname for him. Karina finds the story a little funny but she works hard to make George serious! This Tango has to please!

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

George is in a suit; Karina has large frizzy hair and is in a ripped black dress. They dance to “Calling Dr. Love” by KISS. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Wow! There’s something I’ve never heard George Lucas called! Haha! Let’s get the judges’ reactions. Tony?
Tony: George, I liked it! It was fun, you really let go. Technically speaking you are one of the weaker contestants, but I enjoyed this performance!
Valerie: You're a lot of fun, George, but some very talented people went home last week and I feel you should have been one of them. Unless you go this week, I think you'll need to make a huge improvement!
Natalie: George – this was bad! The footwork was sloppy and your hold was a bit of a joke. I felt sorry for Karina while watching it. It just did not make me happy at all, and I am sorry to say that!
Kendall: Ah, tough break, George! Please go up to Brittany!

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

Brittany: Thank you Kendall! George, anything you’d like to say about your story?
George: I just wanna tell my wife Kate that Dr. Love’ll be home later!
Brittany: Haha! Wow, George! Wow! Let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

TOTAL: 16/30

Brittany: 16 points! Not the best scores, but better than last week! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Our next contestant tonight is the man who didn’t quite impress the judges last week with a Jive that lost some energy! Will he regain that lost energy this week with a slower dance? Its actor Clive Owen and his partner Anna Trebunskaya!

In Clive’s video, he wants to dedicate his dance this week to his favorite romance film, Love Story, and would like to dance to the theme from it. Anna is glad he is doing another ballroom dance as she thinks it shows his abilities better!

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

Clive is in a suit with red tie; Anna is in a red Waltz gown. They dance to “Where Do I Begin” by Andy Williams. Once finished, they walk over to Kendall.

Kendall: Great job, Clive! Now, time to get our judges’ take on things. Valerie?
Valerie: Clive, you were certainly a gentleman tonight! Personally, for me, it wasn't incredible, but I definitely think you have talent, so well done!
Natalie: Hmm… It was good, but a little boring by the end, Clive. I’m sorry, it’s just that all you and Anna did was smile, spin, and walk around the floor. I want excitement if you’re back next week, babe!
Tony: The ladies are right Clive. You came out Week 1 and blew me away, and now this week, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. It was a little slow, and a tad boring. I will say this, however: Your hold is one of the strongest I see out of who is left, but you need to work on your performance value.
Kendall: Well, not the greatest comments. Sorry! Go on up to Brit for your scores! Brittany, up to you!

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

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Clive, what would you like to say about the story of your performance?
Clive: I’ve always loved the film Love Story, so I knew right away that that was the story I wanted to tell!
Brittany: We get it! You love the movie! Haha! Let’s get your scores.

Brittany: 20 points! Not as good as Week 1, but better than last week! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Thank you, Brittany! Next up is the woman who transformed from a sloppy bridesmaid into an elegant mistress last week with a Quickstep that got the judges attention! Will she keep their attention this week? Its actress Melissa McCarthy and her partner, Louis van Amstel!

In Melissa’s video, she instantly knows the perfect story – a dance dedicated to husband, and Bridesmaids co-star, Ben Falcone, to the song played at their wedding! Louis is amazed at how light on her feet Melissa is being this week! He hopes it means good things are in store!

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

Melissa is in a dark blue gown; Louis is in a suit with dark blue tie. They dance to “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King. Once finished, they walk to Kendall!

Kendall: You did awesome tonight, Melissa! Let’s see what the judges thought! Natalie?
Natalie: Well Melissa, it was a good one! Haha! You seemed to really improve on technique this week, and your steps were surprisingly light this week! You should be proud!
Tony: Can I just say that this is one of the sassiest foxtrots ever? Melissa, this was my favorite dance of yours. You got the sass down to a "T”. Still work on your hold, it dropped a few times, but I loved this dance!
Valerie: This was sweet! Melissa, you are certainly this season's underdog. You certainly impressed me, and I think your husband will be emotional along with you right now!
Kendall: Great comments, Melissa! Congratulations! Up to Brittany, please! Brit?

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

Brittany: Thank you Kendall! Melissa, anything you want to say about your dance’s story?
Melissa: I just wanted to make sure my man knew I loved him! Ben, if you’re watching, start the hot tub for when I get home!
Brittany: Okay then! Haha! Let’s get your scores.

Brittany: 21 points! Those are some good scores for you! Congrats! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Our next star tonight is the woman who got down and became bootylicious with a Samba that had the judges raving! This week, will she bring even more heat with another latin dance? Its professional skier Lindsey Vonn and her partner, Derek Hough!

In Lindsey’s video, she wants to do a weird choice for her personal story – a dance dedicated to her celebrity crush, tennis star Roger Federer! Derek laughs at the idea, but Lindsey works hard and is determined to make this her best dance yet!

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

Lindsey is in a small red outfit with her hair in a ponytail; Derek is in an unbuttoned red dress shirt. They dance to “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” by Kylie Minogue. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: I’m sure Roger Federer just watched that in awe… and shock! Haha! Let’s see what the judges thought of it. Tony?
Tony: I just have to say, I thought you picked the strangest story to tell tonight! But it worked! It worked, and I can tell that you're going to be more a Latin dancer more than anything else! I to have to point out, you had a few mistakes, but you are fun to watch, Lindsey!
Valerie: It's good to have such a light-hearted, fun routine. You did a great job, and I felt that Roger would be oozing with happiness after watching this!
Natalie: You did great, Lindsey! You shook what your mama gave you and kept up with Derek phenomenally! It was a good dance for you two!
Kendall: Great comments! Please go up to Brittany! BB?

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

Brittany
: Thanks KS! Lindsey, what possessed you to do this dance? Haha!
Lindsey: I’ve just had a crush on Roger for the longest time! Why not dedicate a dance to him? He’s a stud! Haha!
Brittany: He is pretty damn sexy! Haha! Let’s get your scores.

TOTAL: 22/30

Brittany: 22 points! Awesome scores, you guys! Back to you, Kendall!

Kendall: Next up is the man who improved his scores last week over a Week 1 Cha-Cha that left him in last place! Will he continue to wow the judges this week? Its actor Nicolas Cage and his partner, Edyta Sliwinska!

In Nicolas’s video, he wants to base his dance off of the Oscar he won in 1995 for Leaving Las Vegas, which Edyta likes! Nic brings his Oscar to practice to inspire Edyta with the choreography. They think this week will be golden!

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

Nicolas is in a gold suit and tie with golden cane; Edyta is in a gold dress. They dance to “We Are The Champions” by Queen, with large Oscar statues on stage. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: This dance was more golden than Hayden Christensen’s Goldfinger dance! Haha! Let’s see if the judges think the dancing was the same. Valerie?
Valerie: Wow, Nicolas! Where's the terrible dancer from Week 1 gone? We have a different person out there! Well done, you pleasantly surprised me, keep it up!
Natalie: Well, Nic, it was a cool idea for a dance, but it seemed a bit… “gloaty”. I mean, I’m proud of your accomplishments, but they didn’t really transpire into a great dance idea. And to top it off, the spins and other footsteps were all pretty stiff like you had wooden legs. Try to work on that if you’re back next week!
Tony: Oh lord! “We are the Champions”. Not that I'm taking off any points for your song choice, it's just one of my least favorite songs ever! Anyway, on to the dance! Natalie is right, it was a little stiff and I felt that you were about to lose it when you did the stand and spin. Try to really work on control if you're back next week!
Kendall: Hmm… Some interesting comments! 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, tell us more about your story.
Nicolas: I just wanted to make sure I made an impression with the audience this week. What better way to do that than going gold for the Oscars?
Brittany: I wouldn’t know. I’ve never been nominated. Ha! Let’s get your scores.

Will he regain his starting position on the floor tonight? Its actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd!

In Joseph’s video, he wants to be up in first place with Amber this week! For his story, he chooses a story about his childhood and what he wanted to be when he grew up – an astronaut! Peta is amazed at how loose Joseph is getting for this dance. She thinks he will win the judges over easily!

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

Joseph is in a silver dress shirt with black tie; Peta has curly hair and is in a small silver outfit with ruffle skirt. They dance to “Rocketeer” by Far East Movement and Ryan Tedder. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Natalie: Wow Joseph! So that’s what you wanted to be when you grew up! How fun! It made for a cute little story! The dance was fantastic, too! Your steps and Samba-rolls were all spot-on and perfect. For such a hip-hop song, you danced the Samba effortlessly! Congratulations!
Tony: Great hips, great musicality, great performance! You are a force to be reckoned with, Joseph. You light up the room every time you step out onto the dance floor. One of the best dances of the night!
Valerie: Wow, Joseph, this was a lot of fun! You took a great fun story and made it very hip-hop fusioned, like Natalie said. I'm proud!
Kendall: Those are amazing comments! Please go to Brittany up there! Brittany?

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

Brittany: Thank you Kendall! Joseph, you seriously wanted to be an astronaut growing up? Ha!
Joseph: Absolutely! Everyone’s always like “wait, didn’t you wanna be an actor when you grew up?” and I always say “nah, man! I wanna go to space!”. Haha!
Brittany: Wow! Haha! Let’s see if your scores are as stellar as that story.

Kendall: Thank you Brittany! Our next star is the woman who outshined everyone last week to slide into first place with an untraditional, yet totally pleasing, Quickstep! Can she keep her spot at the top for a second week? Its actress Amber Heard and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy!

In Amber’s video, she gets emotional when she tells us she is dedicating her dance this week to a close friend who recently left an abusive marriage. She believes that no woman should go through that and wants her friend to know she is there for her! Val is blown away by the story and gives it a 200% effort to make sure the dance does the story justice.

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

Kendall: Wow, Amber, that was seriously the most powerful dance I think we’ve ever seen! Let’s see if the judges agree. Tony?
Tony: No! Amber! This was almost perfection! I saw a lift! I understand you weren't trying to, and I realize that it was during a spin, but the lift was still there! However, you are one hell of a dancer Amber and the chemistry you have with Val? It could power the country. I want you in the finals!
Valerie: Wow, so emotional! I am incredibly impressed. If you're delivering this sort of performance now, I can't imagine what you'll be like in the final! You could be a pro dancer by then!
Natalie: Wow. That had it all. The emotion, the intensity, the passion! The story was so inspiring behind it, and the dance itself was a total hit! I’m so proud of you, Amber!
Kendall: I think those are some amazing comments, you two! Go up to Brittany for your scores, please. Brit?

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

Brittany: Thank you, Kendall! Amber, I can see you’re crying. Does your story this week mean that much to you?
Amber: Oh my god, absolutely. I love my friend like a sister, and the fact that she had to suffer through such a horrible marriage is so wrong. I’m so proud of her for getting the courage to leave. I hope she knows how much I care about her.
Brittany: Trust me, I’m sure she does. Let’s get your scores.

In Jan’s video, she is amazed that the public has saved her! She wants to dedicate her dance this week to the day she met her husband, John. She also says the song she is dancing to this week is her favorite. Corky sees a completely new Jan this week and is excited!

Valerie: Yes! This is the Jan Brewer I want to see! You gave a nice emotional Foxtrot. I think you actually showed the power and romance at the same time. Well done!
Natalie: I’m glad you’re still here Jan. You surprisingly gained a bit of footwork this week, and the dance wasn’t a complete disaster! You and Corky looked so cute together, strolling across the stage! Good job!
Tony: How sweet was that dance? Jan, you have just earned the title of most improved dancer this week! Great job!
Kendall: Great comments compared to past weeks! Please go up and get your scores! Brittany?

Tony: Cheeky, full of fun, amazing story, and some pretty good technique to boot! Natalie is right, you were in synch and you worked it for the crowd!
Valerie: RYAN! You rocked! I can't explain how much I loved this, because you rocked the story! I can imagine coming out is incredibly tough, but you've shown that you've come out of it strong and you performed fantastic tonight! Bravo!
Kendall: They really seemed to like it! Please go up to Brittany for your scores! B?

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

In Fran’s video, she was so happy to have gotten the first encore of the season – and she wants more! Her dance this week is dedicated to the 80’s, Fran’s most favorite decade ever! Tristan is amazed at how well she dances and thinks her dance this week will be even better than her Foxtrot!

Fran has large frizzy hair and is in a leather Tango outfit; Tristan has spiked hair and is in a short sleeved black dress shirt with red tie. They dance to “She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.

Kendall: Wow! We sure saved the best for last! Haha! Let’s get the judges comments, starting with Tony!
Tony: I would call that one of the best dances of the night, Fran! Two weeks ago, I gave you a 6! You're not getting a 6 tonight, that's for sure!
Valerie: Congratulations Fran. You're a disco queen! I felt like I stepped into a time tunnel which led me into the 1980s! Well done!
Natalie: FRAN, FRAN, FRAN! This was one of THE HOTTEST TANGOS I think we’ve seen on here in a long time! You totally took me back to the 80’s with the dance, the song, the dress, and your hair! It was perfect, and you really did marvelous! Great job!
Kendall: Amazing last comments of the night! Go up to Brittany for your scores, please! Brittany?

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

Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Fran, what do you want to say about that awesome Tango?
Fran: I’m just stuck in the 80’s, I guess! Haha! I am really so proud with how Tristan is doing! Great job, sweetie!
Brittany: We’re proud of both of you! Let’s get your scores.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?
