Brittany Brannon (voiceover): This week (clips from training played), IT’S DISNEY WEEK! All eight of our remaining stars will be performing twice tonight in front of a brand new judge’s panel (clips of new judges). Who will end up victorious after all of these dances? Find out. Live! This is Dancing with the Stars!
Kendall: And I’m Kendall Schmidt. Tonight our remaining stars dance twice to the tune of popular Disney songs. With two dances each and a new panel of judge’s scoring tonight’s dances, who knows who will come out on top by the end!
Brittany: I’m tired of stalling! Let’s get Disney Week started! Please welcome the stars of our show!
The stars come down the moving stairs in this order: Joel Courtney, Eva Mendes, Julia Roberts, Hayden Christensen, Denzel Washington, Betty White, Emma Stone, and Gabrielle Giffords.
Brittany: Obviously! Starting us off for Disney Week is the young man who found himself in danger of going home on Saturday. Can he make a comeback tonight? Its teen actor Joel Courtney and his partner, Chelsie Hightower!
In Joel's VT, he is excited and petrified at the same time. He loves the songs he’s given for Disney week, admitting he was a huge Disney freak as a baby, and he’s scared because he has two dances this week. The pressure is on to be perfect.
Voiceover: Dancing the Quickstep, Joel Courtney and his partner, Chelsie Hightower.
Joel is dressed as Aladdin: wearing an unbuttoned purple vest with “vanilla” pants. Chelsie is wearing a light blue ‘Bollywood’ dress. They dance to “One Jump Ahead” by Brad Kane, a song from Aladdin. Once finished they walk to Kendall.

Please welcome producer Natalie Sanders (cheers), Former DWTS pro dancer Elena Grinenko (cheers), and Former Strictly Come Dancing Semi-Finalist Gavin Henson (cheers)! And you all obviously know Judge Valerie, so let’s get started. Natalie?
Natalie: Joel, it’s so cool to be judging you on here! I just have to let you know that that Quickstep was so adorable! I saw a lot of potential. Great job (cheers).
Elena: Great dancing as usual, but I expected more energy from you, because you are the youngest contestant.
Gavin: Well done guys. You have improved but it wasn’t great for this stage in the competition (boos).
Valerie: Joel, you take the heart and soul on the Quickstep. However, technically it wasn't great.
Kendall: Well, up you go to Brittany.
The pair runs up to Brittany.
Brittany: Well done, guys! The judges seemed to love it, let's get the scores!
Will the judges please reveal their scores?
Natalie Sanders: 9 (cheers)
Elena Grinenko: 8
Gavin Henson: 6 (boos)

Natalie: Denzel, I love you to pieces, you’re simply amazing! But, I’m not sure if this Quickstep was top class. I think it could’ve been a bit faster. Since it was a little slower, I think you lost some timing.

Elena: I'm not sure if Miss Piggy and Kermit was the best choice of character for you in the Waltz, but you managed to pull it off, well done!

Elena: I'm sorry, but I didn’t like it. It was too slow and way too simple.
Gavin: Very good job! I actually liked it, to my own disbelief!

Natalie: Denzel, you gave it a certain ‘haunting-ness’, but all together, it wasn’t as great as I wanted it. Sorry!
Elena: This is the first week couples had to prepare two dances instead of one and I feel that you spent more time on your Quickstep then your Paso.
Gavin: Denzel, You have certainly been one of the most improved contestants but I thought your last dance was better.
Valerie: Very dramatic, but it needs to be more polished!
