Kendall Schmidt (voiceover): Last week on the DWTSGame, emotions ran high when everyone dedicated their dance to a personal story about their life. This saw the surprise comeback of Jan Brewer, the first 10 handed to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Amber Heard almost earn a perfect 30. When all was danced and done, our underdogs George Lucas and Melissa McCarthy were sent home.
Brittany Brannon (voiceover): This week, our professional dancers are kicked to the curb as our celebrities pair up for our annual Partner Ditch Week! But this season, there’s a twist! It’s also our first ever TECHNO WEEK! How will everyone work under twice the pressure? Find out! LIVE! This is Dancing with the Stars!

It’s also our first ever TECHNO WEEK! How will everyone work under twice the pressure? 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, its Techno-Partner Ditch Week, in which our pros team up to choreograph a dance for the two respective celebrities that have been paired together, all to the theme of Techno/Electronic music!
Brittany: We have a fresh and crazy night ahead for you guys! So please, welcome our stars!
The celebrity couples come down the moving staircases in this order: Lindsey Vonn & Ryan Lane, Fran Drescher & Sasha Mitchell, Amber Heard & Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jan Brewer & Nicolas Cage, Nicki Minaj & Dez Bryant, and Mariska Hargitay & Clive Owen.

Kendall: Can’t wait to see some of these celebrity couples dance, for sure! Who’s up first tonight, Brittany?
Brittany: Tonight’s first contestants are the woman who danced a Marilyn Monroe themed Foxtrot and the man who bored the judges with his Viennese Waltz! Can they entertain when combined? Its actress Mariska Hargitay and her partner, Clive Owen!
In the video, Mariska is psyched to be dancing with Clive, and Clive feels the same way! Tony and Anna (who are working together for the third time in a row for PD Week) are putting together a unique Techno Argentine Tango that they think Mariska & Clive will do great with!
Voiceover: Dancing the Argentine Tango, Mariska Hargitay and Clive Owen.
Mariska is in a small black dress, showcasing her legs, and has a rose in her hair; Clive is in an all-black suit. They dance to “Vem Dancar Kudoro” by Lucenzo. Once finished, they walk over to Kendall.
Kendall: Well done, you guys! Great first dance of the week! Judges, please tell us your comments, starting with Head Judge, Natalie Sanders!
Natalie: Thanks Kendall. I thought it was a good combination – the two of you! You both complimented each other very well! The dance though… I’m not sure what to say about it. It was a Techno Argentine Tango… So the passion was sort of jumbled. But the lifts were good! Mariska, you’ve got some damn fine legs! Haha!
Tony: I have to agree with Natalie, the two of you work so well together! However, the two of you had some timing issues. And again, Natalie is right, the techno song I think threw the two of you off. You two are great, I want to see you both back next week.
Valerie: Guys, I really enjoyed this! This dance is perfect for both of you, yet sadly, the song is so quick and I could see you were both having troubles in keeping up with it. Not saying you're old, but you certainly looked very tired, and that ruined some of the steps.
Kendall: Mm! Tough comments! Please go up to Brittany in the skybox for your scores! Brittany?
Brittany begins talking as Mariska and Clive arrive to the skybox.
Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Now, we’ll ask the lady, Mariska, what was it like to work with Clive this week?
Mariska: Clive is so HOT! Haha! Doing a sexy dance with a sexy man was almost too much for me to handle! Haha! I had so much fun!
Brittany: Glad to hear, Hargie! Let’s get your scores!

In the video, Lindsey is so happy to work with someone as enthusiastic as Ryan! Ryan admits he is so psyched to work with Lindsey! Derek and Natalie create a “perfect” Paso for the Techno theme this week! Lindsey and Ryan can’t wait to perform!
Voiceover: Dancing the Paso Doble, Lindsey Vonn and Ryan Lane.
Lindsey is in a gold gown with Paso cape and her hair in a ponytail; Ryan is in a gold dress shirt. They dance to “Blow” by Ke$ha. Once finished they walk to Kendall.
Kendall: Wow! You seriously lit the floor on fire! Haha! Judges, what did you think? Tony?
Tony: Well someone just played right into my corner! I have to say right now, I love Ke$ha, and oddly, the two of you pulled off an amazing Paso Doble! Ryan, I have to applaud you. You lead Lindsey around so well. And Lindsey, an almost exact copy of Ke$ha with that outfit! I loved it guys.
Valerie: I think it's great to put the two underdogs together! Ryan, you are steadily becoming a star of this season, and I really saw your potential, but LINDSEY! You are like the second coming of Ke$ha! Oh my god, I loved it. Well done to both of you.
Natalie: Woo! You literally blew the roof off this place with that dance! Haha! It was full of entertainment, but you guys seemed to forget about technique a lot. It seemed to stagger here and there. I want a full dance, not just sections at a time! But it was very fun, you should be proud!
Kendall: Some great comments, guys! Please head on up to Brittany! Brittany?
Brittany begins talking as Lindsey and Ryan arrive to the skybox.
Brittany: Thanks, Kendall! So Lindsey, what was it like working with Ryan?
Lindsey: It’s been a ton of fun! Ryan’s such a funny and dedicated guy! Glad I got to work with him!

Kendall: Thanks Brit! Next up is the woman who made an amazing comeback last week with a dazzling Foxtrot, and the man who lacked finesse in the Viennese Waltz he dedicated to his Oscar win! What will happen when they dance together? It’s Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and actor Nicolas Cage!
In the video, Jan and Nicolas have a bit of an awkward meeting. Jan is almost 20 years older than Nicolas! Aside from the age, Corky and Edyta work with them to create an entertaining Argentine Tango, which Nic and Jan can’t wait to perform!
Voiceover: Dancing the Argentine Tango, Jan Brewer and Nicolas Cage.
Jan has her hair in an updo and is in a black Tango outfit; Nicolas is in an all-black suit. They dance to “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega, with the stage set up like a diner. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.
Kendall: Interesting dance, you guys! Let’s see if the judges thought the same. Valerie?
Valerie: I actually think this was your strongest performances yet for both of you, but compared to the others it wasn't great. But I'm impressed, and even though I think you'll be a weak spot of tonight, you gave it 110 percent!
Natalie: Oh boy. I think this was a step backwards for both of you… Nicolas, you seemed to be very unattached with Jan, like you were doing some whole other dance. And Jan, your lines were a little poor. It’s sad, because you did good last week, but this week you lost a lot of footing. Sorry you guys!
Tony: I have to agree with the ladies you two. Unfortunately, we need to see some crisp, sharp movements for the Argentine Tango. I know everyone is a little out of their element with the Techno theme this week. The dance was a little disjointed.
Kendall: Man, more tough comments! Go up to Brittany for some scores, please! B?
Brittany begins talking as Jan and Nicolas arrive to the skybox.
Brittany: Thanks, Kendall! Now Jan, we know Nicolas can be a little… awkward! Haha! What was working with him like?
Jan: It was one of the more unique things I’ve done in a while, that’s for sure! Hahaha! Nicolas is unpredictable, which was entertaining this week!

In the video, Fran and Sasha – both who have starred in hit 90’s TV shows – are excited to work together! Together, they think they can win over the judges completely! Cheryl and Tristan feel the same way!
Voiceover: Dancing the Paso Doble, Fran Drescher and Sasha Mitchell.
Fran is in a silver Paso outfit; Sasha is in a black dress shirt with cape. They dance to “Rhythm Is A Dancer” by Snap!. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.
Kendall: Awesome job, you guys! It was amazing! Let’s get the judges’ verdict now. Natalie?
Natalie: HOT, HOT, HOT! Fran and Sasha – I didn’t think you guys would’ve made a good pair, but this dance proved me wrong. It had passion, intensity, and Fran, you added an extra flair! I really liked it, you guys!
Tony: I'm a little on the fence with this one. You both had your best dances last week, and I feel this Paso Doble was a little off. Don't get me wrong, you two played the part so well, I mean what else would we expect from two amazing actors?! Technique was a little weak here and there, but I think you to have the potential to do so well.
Valerie: Um, WOW! I'm not gonna lie, I was a little worried for both of you this week because it didn't seem like one you'd both find easy, but WOW you stormed it! Sasha and Fran, I've been the harsh judge on both of you - until now! Bravo!
Kendall: Some great comments, you guys! Please head up to Brittany for your scores!
Brittany begins talking as Fran and Sasha arrive to the skybox.
Brittany: Thank you, Kendall! Fran, what was working with Sasha like this week?

Next up is the woman who scorched the floor last week with the most inspiring story of all, and the man who’s been hot on her cast since she stole the top spot from him two weeks ago. Can they, together, slide into first? Its actress Amber Heard and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt!
In the video, Amber and Joseph start training by smack talking each other in a joking way! They get along great, but must get serious for their Argentine Tango! Val and Peta (both back for their second PD weeks) know that the judges will love this!
Voiceover: Dancing the Argentine Tango, Amber Heard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Amber hair her hair in a bun and is in a small dark blue Tango outfit; Joseph is in a dark blue suit and fedora hat. They dance to “With Love” by Hilary Duff. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.
Kendall: Wow! That was just awesome! Amber, can I do that with you next? Haha! Let’s get the judges’ reactions. Tony?
Tony: Lifts, 10. Acting, 10. Technique...8. You two are so great, and yet, you're your own worst enemies. You two have set the bar so high that the three of us have to watch you like hawks. This dance was not up to the standard we have seen from the two of you. Having said, that, I think it was the best dance of the night, however.
Valerie: I feel so old, watching two young fresh dancers come out with this hip, techno Argentine Tango and it just blew my mind. Perfection? No. As great as it was I sometimes missed out on that Argentine Tango effect, but you two are great dancers.
Natalie: OH MY GOD! Take the two hottest dancers of the season and pair them together… Then give them a killer Argentine Tango… and you have this performance! Joseph, you just gave us one of your most hauntingly spectacular jobs yet, and AMBER! You performed each and every AMAZING lift with ease. This dance could not have been more perfect! FANTASTIC!
Kendall: For the most part, great comments! Please go up to Brittany!
Brittany begins talking as Amber and Joseph arrive to the skybox.
Brittany: Thank you Kendall! Amber, what was Joseph like in training?
Amber: Really, he may seem sweet on TV, but in training he’s a complete goofball! Haha! I loved working with him, though!

In the video, Dez and Nicki couldn’t get along better! They love making jokes, and are both serious when asked! Kym and Mark are amazed and think they can steal the show with this Paso!

Nicki (with black hair) is in a black leather Paso dress with cape; Dez is in a black vest. They dance to “I’m Not Leaving” by the Crystal Method and Martha Reeves. Once finished, they walk over to Kendall.
Kendall: Spectacular Paso, guys! Now, time to get our judges’ take on things. Valerie?
Valerie: Best dance of the season. Heck, thinking about it, there have been many Paso Dobles in the history of DWTSGame and that was one of the best, maybe even the best. I honestly hope you two go to the finals, based on that performance. Incredible.
Natalie: Good job you guys! Dez, you were very strong and forceful, which is what we want! And Nicki, you gave this your own sassy edge! The pairing was great and the dance was good! You were in synch and your tricks and turns were all performed marvelously! Nice job!
Tony: I have to disagree with Valerie. I don't think it was the best dance of the season. Nicki and Dez, I just have to say that the two of you had a tough act to follow in Amber & Joseph. Nicki, finally, I felt you weren't over-performing! And Dez! Most improved! It may not be the best dance of the season for me, but it ties with Amber & Joseph for best of the night.
Kendall: Great comments! Go on up to Brit for your scores! Brittany, up to you!
Brittany begins talking as Nicki and Dez arrive to the skybox.
Brittany: Thanks Kendall! Nicki, how was Dez in training?

In the video, Amber and Joseph sort of take over as the leaders of the group. The pros and dancers collaborate to perfect the first Team Salsa. Joseph and Amber will open with a sexy starter, Fran and Sasha will get serious and shake things up in the middle, then send Lindsey and Ryan in for the kill at the end! The pros are amazed and are almost assured this Salsa will take the cake!
Voiceover: Dancing Salsa, please welcome six of our stars.
Amber, Fran, and Lindsey are in small light brown Salsa outfits; Joseph, Sasha, and Ryan are wearing light brown v-neck vests. They dance to “I’m Into You” by Jennifer Lopez and Lil Wayne. Once finished, they all walk to Kendall!
Kendall: Holy crap! That was amazing, you guys! Let’s see what the judges thought! Natalie?
Natalie: I’ve gotta say – I WAS INTO ALL 6 OF YOU! Haha! Amber and Joseph, you opened with a sexy start with tons of technical moves, then Fran and Sasha, you got serious and brought the passion level up even more! AND LINDSEY AND RYAN! You guys were the life of the party! All in all, this was one of the best team dances I think we’ve ever had! Super congrats!
Tony: Hot, hot, hot! I all of you had some pretty strong individual dances and this was just the icing on the cake! Amber & Joseph, much better and amazingly hot. Fran & Sasha, great technique! I'd like to give the MVP award to Lindsey & Ryan. You two left it all on the floor! Amazing floor and teamwork!
Valerie: One word - delicious! Amber, Lindsey and Fran, you just make excellent showgirls, well done, and the guys just added to the fun Latin fusion of the dance. I'm into all of you!
Kendall: Amazing comments! Congratulations, Team 1! Up to Brittany, please! Brit?
Brittany begins talking as Team 1 arrives to the skybox.
Brittany: Thank you Kendall! Amber, speaking for the group, how do you think they all did?
Amber: I just have to say that everyone did amazing, you guys! I’m so glad I got to be a part of this group! This was seriously the highlight of the season to me! Haha!
Brittany: It was seriously the highlight of the night, to me! Let’s get your scores.
Will the judges please reveal their scores?
Valerie Hashburntar: 9
Natalie Sanders: 9
Tony Klespis: 9
TOTAL: 27/30
Brittany: 27 points! Knocked it out of the park with those scores! Congrats Team 1! Back to you, Kendall!
In the video, Amber and Joseph sort of take over as the leaders of the group. The pros and dancers collaborate to perfect the first Team Salsa. Joseph and Amber will open with a sexy starter, Fran and Sasha will get serious and shake things up in the middle, then send Lindsey and Ryan in for the kill at the end! The pros are amazed and are almost assured this Salsa will take the cake!
Voiceover: Dancing Salsa, please welcome six of our stars.
Amber, Fran, and Lindsey are in small light brown Salsa outfits; Joseph, Sasha, and Ryan are wearing light brown v-neck vests. They dance to “I’m Into You” by Jennifer Lopez and Lil Wayne. Once finished, they all walk to Kendall!
Kendall: Holy crap! That was amazing, you guys! Let’s see what the judges thought! Natalie?
Natalie: I’ve gotta say – I WAS INTO ALL 6 OF YOU! Haha! Amber and Joseph, you opened with a sexy start with tons of technical moves, then Fran and Sasha, you got serious and brought the passion level up even more! AND LINDSEY AND RYAN! You guys were the life of the party! All in all, this was one of the best team dances I think we’ve ever had! Super congrats!

Kendall: Our final dance of the night goes to our second Team Salsa. With Team 1 scoring 3 nines, will Team 2 has what it takes to beat that? Let’s see! Here’s there video!
In the video, the group is amazed at the diversity of the members – a rapper, a US governor, an Oscar winning actor, a Golden Globe winning actress, an NFL newcomer, and a British hunk. Their partners think that their song will inspire some craziness on the floor, which is what they hope the judges are looking for!
Voiceover: Dancing Salsa, please welcome six of our stars.
Mariska, Jan, and Nicki are all in black outfits with sleeves; Clive, Nicolas, and Dez are in black dress shirts. They dance to “Hotel Room Service” by Pitbull and the Pussycat Dolls. Once finished, they walk to Kendall.
Kendall: If you were aiming for crazy, you got it! Haha! Let’s see what the judges thought of it. Tony?
Tony: I think this team had the song better suited for Salsa and yet, it didn't deliver. Nicki & Dez were the only two that really got the feel for the dance. The other four of you had some trouble getting into the sexy feel of the salsa. But what you lacked in technique, you made up in the performance. I know I said some of you had trouble getting sexy, but you guys were having fun, and I have to point that out because that's what we want to see!
Valerie: Oh my god! This is a tough one, because I thought Nicki and Dez did an absolutely stunning performance, yet Jan and Nicolas were just dreadful. I wish we could score you guys individually, but based on the group all together, it wasn't too strong, sorry.
Natalie: Man, it’s a little unfair to compare to the dance we just saw. I think that dance had more technical performers, whereas this team comprised of our entertaining celebrities… It wasn’t very good, guys. Mariska and Clive had a little trouble keeping up, but really tried. Nic and Jan, sorry guys, but you wrecked the middle of the dance. I think it was Nicki and Dez who saved this dance! But again, it may have been better to have seen this dancer first. Sorry guys!
Kendall: Tough comments! Please go up to Brittany! BB?
Brittany begins talking as Team 2 arrives to the skybox.
Brittany: Thanks KS! Jan, speaking for Team 2, do you guys think you delivered?
Jan: If nothing else, the voters will remember this dance! What can we say? We tried our hardest!
Brittany: Great job! Let’s get your scores.
Will the judges please reveal their scores?
Valerie Hashburntar: 8
Natalie Sanders: 7
Tony Klespis: 8
TOTAL: 23/30
Brittany: 23 points! This means that you did not beat Team 1, sorry guys! And now, since everyone’s danced, let’s take a look at tonight’s dances with voting numbers!
