Brittany Brannon (voiceover): Tonight... We reveal which of our four semi-finalists have made it through to the finals. To do that, we must sadly send one of them home (more clips shown). With such a tight race, which of our promising contestants will meet the cruelest cut of the season? LIVE! This is... Dancing with the Stars!
Kendall: Hello, and Welcome to Dancing with the Stars! I'm Kendall Schmidt.
Brittany: And I'm Brittany Brannon. On Wednesday night, our stars danced a 'Deja vu' dance where their song and style were to a dance previously done by another competitor. With that, we sure saw some interesting interpretations! Guest judge Max Gao also stopped by to judge!
Kendall: Tonight, we eliminate either Hayden, Eva, Julia, or Betty! How could we be faced with such a tough decision?
Brittany: Sadly, one of them will have to go so we can move on to the Finals next week! But right now, let's get to tonight's encore!
Len: Of this, our last encore of the season, we would like to see a dance that we all felt was quite an enduring rendition of a previous dance. That would be the Deja vu Waltz done by Hayden and Julianne! (audience cheers)
Kendall: Yeah, man! Please welcome back Hayden and Julianne with their Waltz! (cheering continues)
Hayden is wearing a suit. Julianne is wearing a pink, sleeved dress. The pair dance to Adele's “Someone Like You”. When finished, they get large applause from the audience.
Brittany: Totally agree! Now, Hayden's Deja vu Waltz wasn't the only highlight from Wednesday's episode. We also saw all four of our semi-finalists battle it out for their spot in the finals!
Kendall: Now, if you didn't catch our episode on Wednesday, here's a little montage of what you missed out on. Take a look...
A montage/recap of all of the dances from Week 10 are played. A leaderboard recap is also played. Confessionals start playing (with our stars after their second dances).
Eva: For those of you watching, you know what to do. I've worked much to hard to go home now... Much too hard!
Julia: These past two weeks have just been so much fun. I seriously want to make the finals now!
Hayden: This week was great. I got to do ANOTHER Waltz, and then I got to do a crazy Cha-Cha. Now we gotta make the finals!
Betty: Call me crazy, but I think the name of our song was 'The Bitch Came Back'. Who the heck thought that'd be a good idea for me to dance to (Betty pretends to be confused; audience laughs)?
Confessionals end
Brittany: I'm not sure if you guys remember, but... tweeting us your votes will get the couples 20 EXTRA POINTS. I would've thought you guys wanted to save the couples that badly (audience laughs)!
Kendall: Right now, let's reveal the first couple that is moving on to the finals (audience cheers).
Dramatic elimination theme music plays
Brittany: The first couple into the finals is... (long pause; camera pan the couples) ...Julia and Maksim! (cheers; Julia screams 'Oh My God!'')
Regular lighting returns
Brittany: Totally! Right now, we have a remarkable singer here who is currently signed up as a contestant for next season!
Kendall: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome P!nk! (major cheers)
P!nk performs "Perfect" while Maksim, Cheryl, Derek, Liza, Mark, and Chelsie all dance to it. Kendall and Brittany walk over to her when she finishes.
P!nk: Hi! It's actually going pretty good. I haven't had a lot of time to prepare, because Louis, my partner, and I have both been busy, but once Season 5 ends, we'll meet up and perfect our first dance!
Brittany: You're looking forward to it, right?
P!nk: Of course! It sounded like so much fun when I signed up! The only thing is, (points to Kendall) this stud won't be there. That's, like, reason number one why I signed up (audience laughed)!
Kendall: Sorry, P!nk. I really wish I could be there! But I've got a tour to be a part of.
Brittany: Ok, Kendall. Don't remind us! Now, here is a video of how our new co-host is preparing to start taking over the screen next season...
VT plays. We are reminded that Jennifer Aniston will be Kendall's replacement for the season. She sits down and tells us she was amazed she actually found enough time to be host, with her busy schedule and all. She also says she can't wait to host the show she won, alongside the woman she beat. Jennifer says she has a lot to bring as host!
Julia: Oh my gosh, do we have to go to the finals (audience laughs)? I feel like that's a ton of pressure on me, and my highest score so far is just a 38.
Kendall: Man Julia! Modest, much?
Julia: (laughs) You know it (audience laughs again)!
Kendall: OK, Julia! Can't wait to see what's up your sleeves next week! Now Maks, congrats on making your second finale in a row. Any thoughts you'd like to share?
Maksim: Thanks, Kenall. Um, I just think it's great that I've been able to help two amazing women these past four months into the final week of competition (audience laughs)! I had complete confidence in Cher, and I have complete confidence in Julia. Now, Cher made second place... maybe something better will happen with Julia!
Kendall: Well, you honestly never know. Well, Let's go out to Brittany for to find out who else has reached the finals. Brittany?
Kendall: (now onstage) Which means Betty and Corky and Eva and Alec are still in jeopardy, with one of them leaving very soon, sadly (audience boos).
Kendall: Isn't it always, Brittany? Right now, back with another song, please welcome P!nk! (audience cheers)
P!nk sings "Glitter In The Air". Louis and Karina perform a touching dance to it. Once finished, all three get a standing O from the audience.
Brittany: Betty and Corky and Eva and Alec are still in jeopardy of leaving. One of them WILL be leaving, sadly.
Kendall: Before we start, who do the judges think should go? Len, what if Betty were to go home?
Len: What a shame that would be! Betty has certainly not been the best of dancers, but there is no doubt she is probably one of the most entertaining we've ever seen. To lose her so close to the finale would be very sad.
Brittany: Bruno, what would happen if we lost Eva?
Bruno: You've got to be joking! Eva not reaching the finals? It doesn't even sound possible! She's possibly the sexiest woman we've ever seen on this show, and she has actually turned into a great dancer. All of this hard work for her to not make the finals would be a crushing blow.
Brittany: Oh god, please don't!
Dramatic elimination music plays
Kendall: (camera goes to Betty) Betty and Corky. Betty, this week, your scores only saw a slight improvement over last week. Will your charm and entertainment value be enough to bring you into the finals to have a shot at that shiny mirrorball?
Brittany: (camera goes to Eva) Eva and Alec. Eva, this week, you danced a Deja vu dance to Betty's Foxtrot, giving you your worst score of the season, only to be saved by a perfect scoring Samba. With the ups and downs of your week, has America abandoned all hope with your dancing journey?
Kendall: (camera pans Betty and Eva) Betty and Corky... Eva and Alec... On this tenth week of competition, the couple with the lowest overall total and therefore leaving right now is...
Elimination music plays and camera pans in
Kendall: Betty and Corky. (audience boos and gives Betty a Standing O)
Brittany: Which means Eva and Alec, you're officially finalists! (audience quietly cheers; Eva and Betty hug, Corky shakes Alec's hand)
Brittany: (hugs Betty and Corky) Betty, we're so sad that we won't get to see what kind of amazing Freestyle you would've prepared. What will you take away from this experience?
Betty: I'm going to take away a brand spakin' new bunion (audience laughs)! It's actually fine. I didn't want to embarrass the other finalists with the spectacular Freestyle I has preparing.
Brittany: Well maybe you can do it for us in the Finale (audience cheers loudly; Betty smiles and nods in agreement)!
Kendall: Wow! I can hardly wait! Corky, what were your thoughts of the season?
Corky: I'm just so glad I was a part of this season. Betty has been an absolute joy to work with. We never had a dull moment in training or on live TV! Betty, it was an honor to be your partner! (Betty and Corky hug; audience gives them another standing ovation)
Kendall: Well, we have a little montage of your journey to the Semi-finals. Let's watch.
Betty's goodbye VT plays. We see her in the corner of the screen, smiling at all of the shenanigans she pulled during her time on the show. Aside from low scores and sometimes criticizing comments, she tells us she's all in it for fun and only cares about having a good time. She tells us she was honored to even get to do the show before it was too late. She ends by saying it was the perfect way to solve her midlife crisis.
Kendall: Next Wednesday will also basically mark the last appearance of our judging panel! How sad! Then, next Saturday is our two-hour long finale, where either Eva, Hayden, or Julia will take home the trophy. Make sure to watch! I'm Kendall Schmidt.
Brittany: And I'm Brittany Brannon. Good night and thank you for watching!
