Brittany Brannon (voiceover): Now, we have a new cast (shots of stars shown), ranging from Grammy winners, to true heroes, to the world's strongest man, you know what it is! LIVE! This is Dancing with the Stars!
Kendall: And I'm Kendall Schmidt. Take a look at our brand new set, everyone! (cheers as camera pans the new stage, similar to the DWTS Season 13 stage)
Brittany: I know! So exciting! Now, it's the moment you've been waiting for. Sandra, Cher and Tom are 'so last season' (laughter)! But now, we meet our new stars! Come on down, guys!
The stars come down the moving stairs in this order: Danny Trejo, Anna Kournikova, Joel Courtney, Eva Mendes, Bob Saget, Beyoncé, Eminem, Julia Roberts, Hayden Christensen, Denzel Washington, Mark Henry, Cameron Diaz, Clint Eastwood, Ryan Phillippe, Betty White, Debra Jo Rupp, Emma Stone, and Gabrielle Giffords.
Brittany: I know! These guys are unrecognizable! (laughter)
Kendall: Now nine of these stars dance tonight, with the other nine dancing the following night. Let's get started! (cheers)
Brittany: Yes, dancing first tonight is the man who has starred in more than thirty action, slasher, and horror films in his career-span. Tonight, he tackles the scariest role he’s ever played: a dancer. Its actor Danny Trejo and his partner, returning pro, Ashly Costa!
In his VT, we see clips of Danny's most iconic movies such as 'Machete' and 'Anaconda'. Ashly is excited to be working with him and wants to tame the bad boy. Danny enjoys the Cha-Cha as it's not too elegant.
Voiceover: Dancing the Cha-Cha-Cha, Danny Trejo and his partner Ashly Costa.
Danny is wearing a bright orange shirt. Ashly is wearing a short orange dress. The pair dance to The Four Tops' I Need Your Loving. Once finished they move to Brittany.
Brittany: Wow! Great opening to the show, guys! So, over the next two nights our fourth judge Valerie won't be here (joke cheering). Sorry guys, she'll be back (laughter) as she'll be working on DWTSGame's spin-off show, DWTSGame Talk, which premieres on November 7th! (cheers) But over these two nights, we will have some famous guest judges to talk the talk instead of Valerie. And starting tonight is an actual former Dancing with the Stars pro, a world championship dancer and even a dance choreographer! Please welcome the wonderful Elena Grinenko (cheers, Elena waves)! Now, let's get the comments.
Carrie Ann: Wow, Danny, you can bust a move! (cheers) They were kinda ungraceful moves but even so, for night one, I'll give you credit. (cheers)
Len: Well Danny, it was an entertaining start to the show (cheers), but to be honest it wasn't a great one (boos). Sloppy movement and machetes for hands (laughter), but I did enjoy it and you can only go up from here (claps).
Bruno: Danny! What was that (boos)? A monstrosity of a performance, I can't imagine what your ballroom's gonna be like!
Elena: I thought it was a great job, a great way to start the season with some funky cha-cha moves (cheers). Work on your posture more if you make it next week, though.
Brittany: Well done guys, up you go to Kendall.
The pair walks to Kendall on the second floor celebrity suite.
Kendall: A fun start to Season 5, guys (cheers)! Let's get your scores.

Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Anna Kournikova and her partner Jonathan Roberts.
Anna is wearing a long, green dress. Jonathan is wearing a black suit. The pair dance to Louis Prima's I Wanna Be Like You. Once finished they walk to Brittany.
Brittany: Well done, guys! Very graceful! Let's go to the judges.
Len: To be honest, I expected more (boos). It had heavy feet and a lack of posture (boos).
Bruno: I have to agree… So lumpy and crumply! (boos) I couldn't watch it for half of the dance!
Elena: I thought it was a very fun routine, such grace and athleticism in one whole dance. Keep it up!
Carrie Ann: I thought it was shrill and weak. I wanted more and I don't think you gave it what you could have (boos).
Brittany: Shocking comments there! Up you go to Kendall.
The pair walks up to Kendall.
Kendall: Unfortunate comments there, but let's hope you do well with the scores.

Elena: Wow, Joel, such a classy Foxtrot. I loved the frame! You did an amazing job (cheers).
Carrie Ann: Joel, you took my breath away (cheers). I wasn't expecting that! I think you're my crush for Season 5 (Joel is surprised).
Chelsie: Hey, Carrie Ann, the boy is mine (laughter)!
Len: Well it was good for Week 1 but your feet were all over the place (boos). I felt uncomfortable watching some of it, your frame was nice as Elena said but your footwork needs work. You're a ballroom boy now (claps)!
Brittany: Okay, cutie! Up you go to Kendall.
The pair runs up to Kendall.

Carrie Ann: Wow, that was amazing (cheers)! My favorite dance of the night so far (cheers).
Len: Well they may like it but I wasn't as much of a fan (boos). It was good in technique but it was mainly about the sex appeal, I want dancing (boos)!
Bruno: Eva! You're sexy and you know it (laughter)! I adored you throughout that, you have so much potential and you're one to watch (cheers)!
Brittany: Amazing comments! Up you go to Kendall.

We see clips of 1 vs. 100 and Full House in Bob's VT, along with some censored clips of his comedy acts. Edyta always likes a funny partner, and feels the Quickstep will resemble Bob’s personality.
Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Bob Saget and his partner Edyta Sliwinska.
Bob is wearing a suit, and Edyta is wearing a short red dress which is slightly inappropriate for a Quickstep. They dance to Atomic Fireballs' Man With The Hex. Once finished they dance to Brittany.
Brittany: Well done guys! Let's get the comments.
Carrie Ann: From the good to the bad (boos). It was uncoordinated and had no rhythm. Sorry Bob. I was disappointed.
Len: I have to agree, one of the most disjointed dance routines I've ever seen (boos).
Bruno: Oh no! Hugh Hefner's back (boos)!
Elena: It was a funny version of a Quickstep, but that does fit your personality.

Will the judges please reveal their scores?

In Beyoncé’s VT, we see clips of her music videos; some shown are Destiny's Child's 'Say My Name' and her own 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)'. Derek is the happiest man in the world to get Beyonce and really wants a second win, he thinks he has a chance!
Voiceover: Dancing the Cha-Cha-Cha, Beyoncé and her partner Derek Hough.
Beyoncé and Derek dance to Beyoncé’s own famous song, Crazy In Love. Beyoncé is in a small black dress, Derek is in a white cut open dress shirt. Once finished they dance to Brittany.
Brittany: Beyoncé that was bootylicious (laughter/cheers)! Judges?
Len: Unfortunately Beyoncé, I wasn't much of a fan (boos). I felt like it was more booty shaking and less technique, you need to change that.
Bruno: I thought it was sexy (cheers)! You have so much potential, B. I think you could go on to achieve big things!
Elena: Nobody will be able to dance to that song better than you. Amazing (cheers)!
Carrie Ann: Oh my god, that was hot! Beyoncé, I was mesmerized; lucky Derek (cheers)!

Kendall: No way! Amazing scores! Its a shame Len had to ruin it (laughter). Back to Brittany!
In Eminem's VT, we see clips of his videos 'Without Me' and 'The Real Slim Shady'. Kym is mind-blown that he's doing the show, but Eminem is not a fan of the Quickstep.
Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Eminem and his partner Kym Johnson.
Eminem is wearing a suit but still wearing bling. Kym is wearing a long silver dress. The pair dances to Michael Buble's Peroxide Swing. Once finished they gangsta-walk to Brittany.
Brittany: Okay then! Judges?
Bruno: You have rhythm and musicality, which helps, but you didn't seem to care at all about the dancing.
Elena: I'm not sure if Ballroom is your style. Let's see what will happen with a Latin dance for you.
Carrie Ann: I agree with Bruno 100%, you have the rhythm but no will to want to dance.
Len: It was bad, Marshall (boos).
Eminem: Call me Eminem, bro!
Len: I think it's best to call you by your birth name, Marshall, and just tell you it was not good. I was thoroughly disappointed (boos).
Brittany: Ooh, drama! Well, up you go to Kendall.
The pair walks up to Kendall.
Kendall: I think we've seen it all tonight! Here are your scores.
Will the judges please reveal their scores?
Carrie Ann Inaba: 6

Elena: Very classy, very elegant. Tastefully done, I can't wait to see you do Latin (cheers)!
Carrie Ann: A classy routine, you took me to the 50’s. Very impressive (cheers)!
Len: I was a little disappointed. There was too much faffing around with the storyline; you needed to get on with the dance (boos).
Bruno: Nice opening routine Julia, keep it up, my pretty woman (cheers, Julia laughs nervously)!
Brittany: Good comments! Up you go to Kendall.
The pair walks up to Kendall.
Kendall: A great first performance guys, probably better than mine (laughter). Why are you guys laughing? Anyways, the scores are in!

Bruno: Hayden! You stole my heart with that super Quickstep (cheers)!
Elena: Wow Hayden, you even made the Quickstep look hot! What a great way to finish the night (cheers)!
Brittany: Okay! Up you go to Kendall!
The pair runs up to Kendall.
Kendall: Awesome job, guys! Hayden, since you’re from Star Wars, can you imitate Chewbacca?
