Brittany Brannon (voiceover): Tonight, another one of our entertaining couples must leave the ballroom (more clips shown). With so many upsets, surprises, and triumphs (clips of various dances), how will it end? LIVE! This is Dancing with the Stars!
Brittany: Hello, and Welcome to Dancing with the Stars! I'm Brittany Brannon.
Kendall: And I'm Kendall Schmidt.
Brittany: Tonight, we have to say goodbye to one more star. And after seven amazing performances on Wednesday, this elimination will not be easy!
Kendall: Of course not! Our stars will choose whether to dance a Salsa or not in our first ever all-or-nothing round ever! If a participating couple's dance does not recieve a 10 from any judge, that couple's points for the week will be taken away and they will have to rely on viewer votes alone!
Brittany: Also, latina beauty and music icon Jennifer Lopez is here to sing her little heart out, with the help of a former contestant!
Kendall: He's so awesome! Right away, let's get to the encore performance!
Len: Well, everyone was exceptionally good this week, but we judges personally believe this dancer to have shown the most effort this week, and for that they should be rewarded. We would like Gabrielle and Tony back to dance (audience cheers)!
Brittany: How awesome! Please welcome Gabrielle and Tony with their Cha-Cha-Cha (cheering continues)!
Gabrielle is wearing a red dress. Tony is wearing a red vest and pants. The pair dances to Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off You. Once finished they are greeted with a wildly cheering audience and a standing O.
Brittany: Me too! Now, Gabrielle's Tango wasn't the only highlight from Week 7. We also saw each of our other couples dance a dance they had not yet done!
Kendall: Now, if you didn't catch our episode this week, here's a little montage of what you missed out on. Take a look...
A montage/recap of all of the dances from Week 7 are played. A leaderboard recap is also played. Confessionals start playing (with each couple after their second dance).
Eva: I wish we had gotten all 10's! But, three out of four ain't bad!
Julia: I really loved our dance this week! Can't wait for Christmas week!
Hayden: No way! Our second perfect score? How (audience laughs)?
Denzel: Man, those lifts were pretty complicated.
Betty: Well, that was so much funnnnnnnnnnn... (sighs; audience laughs).
Emma: I loved that dance! I feel like throwing a party! Hahahahaha (Mark laughs)!
Gabrielle: I can't thank the audience more for letting me be here. It's an honor, thank you all.
Confessionals end
Brittany: We're about to reveal the fate for all of our couples, without eliminating any of them, to make some time for our All-or-nothing Salsa round.
Kendall: Now, in no apparent order, let's reveal the couples that have been saved by your votes this week, and then two that have landed in the bottom-two.
Dramatic elimination theme music plays
Brittany: The first couple safe to dance next week is... (camera pan the couples) ...Eva and Alec! (cheers; Eva hugs Alec)
Kendall: The next couple safe to dance is... (camera pans couples) ...Hayden and Julianne! (cheers; Julianne hugs Hayden)
Brittany: The next couple safe to dance is... (camera pans couples) ...Gabrielle and Tony! (cheers; Gabrielle smiles)
Kendall: The next couple safe from elimination is... (camera pans couples) ...Emma and Mark! (cheers; Mark hug-lifts Emma)
Kendall: As you can see, we have 3 couples left up here, 3 spots left in the competition, and 2 spot left in the bottom-two. We will now call the name of the last couple that is safe from elimination. And they are... (camera pans Julia, Betty, and Denzel) ...Julia and Maksim! (cheers; Julia is relieved)
Brittany: Which means Betty and Corky and Denzel and Cheryl are sadly in the bottom-two tonight. (audience boos; both couples are saddened)
Regular lighting returns
Kendall: Same here! Now, before our couples head up to the skybox, we need to go up to them on stage and ask them if they are taking part in the Salsa competition or not (Brittany and Kendall walk up to the couples on stage).
Brittany: We're going to ask Emma and Mark, first. Guys, are you willing to try the All-or-Nothing or will you sit it our?
Emma: (nods with Mark) Mark and I are people who never back down from a challenge, so we're definitely in (audience cheers)!
Kendall: Now, to Denzel and Cheryl. Guys, your in the bottom-two for the week. Do you want to chance it by trying the Salsa competition?
Denzel: (chuckling) It's pretty obvious that I should probably sit this one out. Sorry everyone (audience awws).
Brittany: Next, we're going to Gabrielle and Tony. Guys, do you think you're going to try the Salsa challenge?
Gabrielle: Since I didn't do the greatest in the marathon a little while ago, I'm not confident enough to try the competition. Good luck, Emma.
Kendall: And next, we'll ask Eva and Alec. Guys, what's your answer?
Eva: Since Alec and I won the marathon, we think we have what it takes to get a 10 or two with a Salsa! We're all in (audience cheers)!
Brittany: Ooh, it's getting exciting! Now, Hayden and Julianne. Your answer?
Hayden: Brittany, we're so totally in on this Salsa competition! Whoo-hoo (audience laughs/cheers)!
Kendall: Down to Betty and Corky. Guys, are you willing to risk your scores for the week with the competition? You're in the bottom-two for the week.
Betty: My formal answer would have to be: "Hell no" (audience laughs)!
Brittany: And finally, Julia and Maksim. Guys, are you in?
Julia: (nervous look to Maksim) Um... You know, I think we're gonna play it safe and sit this one out (audience awws).
Kendall: That's perfectly fine, Jules!
Brittany: So, the participants in the All-Or-Nothing round will be Emma and Mark, Eva and Alec, and Hayden and Julianne! We'll be gettting around to seeing these Salsas you've prepared in a little bit! Good luck, hope to see a bunch of 10's!
Jennifer Lopez performs "I'm Into You" with the help of Lil Wayne, while Derek, Karina, Tony, Edyta, Liza, and Neil all dance to it. Afterwards, while the crowd is on their feet cheering, Brittany and Kendall run up to JLo and Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne: Thanks, B. It's great to be back wit' y'all (audience cheers).
Kendall: Ms. Lopez, would you please do us the honors of making this announcement?
Jennifer: Sure! To all of the DWTSGame voters who would like to give their own take on next season by guest judging, you only have 2 more weeks to sign up! Please go to http://dwtsgame5.weebly.com/contest.html if you want to guest judge Season 6! Don't miss out on the chance of a lifetime! For those of you that have signed up, producer Natalie should be contacting you within a week or so (audience cheers)!
Brittany: Thanks so much, JLo! I hope we see you on here as a contestant soon (audience cheers loudly; JLo grins)!
Kendall: I know we'd all love it! Right now, let's take a look at how our participating stars prepared for the All-or-Nothing Salsa competition...
VT plays. We see training clips from Eva, Emma, and Hayden during the three days after Wednesday's show, preparing for the upcoming Salsa competition. Emma knows her Salsa will be hot, Eva is pulling all the stops, and Julianne is incorporating some fun moves into Hayden's Salsa! It's anyone's game at this point!
Brittany: For the first time ever on the DWTSGame, we ask our stars whether or not they want to risk their points with our special All-or-Nothing competition. The objective: do the required dance the judges are asking for. If the dance gets one or more 10 paddle, that score will be added to your total for the week. If the dance gets no 10 paddle, your score for the week is thrown away and you will be forced to rely on viewer's votes alone (oohs from audience)!
Kendall: Let's start this competition with a Salsa from Emma Stone and her partner, Mark Ballas!
Voiceover: Dancing Salsa, Emma Stone and her partner, Mark Ballas.
Emma is in a short gold dress, Mark is in a black dress shirt. They dance to "Beautiful Liar" by Shakira and Beyoncé. After they finish, they walk to Kendall.
Kendall: I think I see some 10's in the future. Let's see what the judges thought!
Carrie Ann: It was really sweet for a Salsa, good job (cheers)!
Len: It may have been sweet, but it was also very dull (boos).
Bruno: Emma! It had all the ingredients for a perfect Salsa, yet it went way under my expectations (large boos)!
Valerie: I was disappointed and unimpressed with it. Sorry (major boos)!
Kendall: Wow, I hope you guys at least get one 10. Up you go to Brittany.
The pair walks up to Brittany.
Brittany: Well guys, all I can say is good luck. Let's get the scores.
Will the judges please reveal their scores?
Carrie Ann Inaba: 9 (boos)
Len Goodman: 9 (boos)
Bruno Tonioli: 9 (boos)
Valerie Hashburntar: 9 (major boos)
TOTAL: 36 (major boos; Emma is in shock)
Brittany: Oh my god, Emma. Your Salsa did not score a 10. This upsettingly means that your judge's points for the week have been erased and your total for the week is now 0 out of 80 (major boos; Emma is upset). We hope you have enough viewer votes to save yourself. Back to Kendall.
Voiceover: Dancing Salsa, Eva Mendes and her partner, Alec Mazo.
Eva is in a tight orange number, Alec is in an orange dress shirt. Jennifer Lopez, on stage, sings "Ain't It Funny" while Eva and Alec dance to it. Once finished they run to Kendall.
Kendall: Great job, Eva. And great job, again, Ms. Lopez! Time for the comments!
Carrie Ann: You got down and dirty and it really made a very sexy Salsa (cheers). Congrats!
Len: It may have been too raunchy (boos)! You gave the dance an amount of sex appeal, but I think too much effort went into that and not into the dancing.
Bruno: What?!?! That Salsa was so hot that I need a cold bucket of water (audience cheers loudly)! Amazing job, Eva!
Valerie: That Salsa just blew me away (cheers)! I loved it! You don't need to worry about my score (cheers).
Kendall: Whoa, Amazing comments! Up you go.
The pair runs up to Brittany.
Brittany: Alright, remember, you need at least one 10 paddle to even keep your points for the week. Let's get the scores.
Will the judges please reveal their scores?
Carrie Ann Inaba: 10 (major cheers)
Len Goodman: 9 (boos)
Bruno Tonioli: 10 (cheers)
Valerie Hashburntar: 10 (cheers)
TOTAL: 39 (large cheers; Eva hugs Alec)
Brittany: Amazing, not only did you secure your points for the week, you almost got a perfect score! And with those 39 points added to Wednesday's 39 points, that gives you a total of 78 for the week (audience cheers)! Back to Kendall.
Voiceover: Dancing Salsa, Hayden Christensen and his partner, Julianne Hough.
Hayden is in a black dress shirt, Julianne is wearing a short pink dress. They dance to "He Wasn't Man Enough For Me" by Toni Braxton. Once finished they go to Kendall.
Kendall: Great job, you guys! Judges, time to comment!
Carrie Ann: Hayden, you sure know how to be sexy (cheers). It showed with this Salsa!
Len: I hate to be picky, but there were some awkward moments here and you seemed a bit out of your element (boos).
Bruno: I was completely blown away (audience cheers loudly)! You took an R&B song and turned it into a wonderful Salsa. Great job!
Valerie: I really liked it (cheers)! You really did make a good mixture with two opposite things, a Salsa and an R&B song (cheers).
Kendall: Great comments, we hope for a 10 or two! Up you go to Brittany.
The pair runs up to Brittany.
Brittany: Alright guys! Again, remember: you need at least one 10 paddle to even keep your points for the week. Let's get the scores.
Will the judges please reveal their scores?
Carrie Ann Inaba: 10 (major cheers)
Len Goodman: 9 (light boos)
Bruno Tonioli: 10 (cheers)
Valerie Hashburntar: 9 (boos)
TOTAL: 38 (cheers; Julianne hugs Hayden)
Brittany: Great job, you kept your points for the week! And with those 38 extra points added to Wednesday's perfect 40 points, that gives you a total of 78 for the week, tied with Eva and Alec (audience cheers)! Back to Kendall.
Brittany: (now on-stage) Emma and Mark, we can now reveal that with the help of your viewer votes alone... (camera pans couples) ...You are still safe from the bottom-two (audience cheers loudly, Emma hugs Mark tightly)!
Kendall: Congratulations, Emma! This means that Betty and Denzel are still your bottom-two for the week (audience awws).
Brittany: Carrie Ann Inaba, what would you think if Betty and Corky were to leave the competition?
Carrie Ann: Wow, I don't even want to think about it. Even if Betty is nowhere near the best dancer here, she still has the most fun and to not have that next week would be devastating (quiet cheers; Betty smiles).
Kendall: Head Judge Len Goodman, what if Denzel and Cheryl were to leave?
Len: It would truly be a shame. Denzel has tried very hard all season and Cheryl has done wonders to him. It would really be a loss (quiet cheers; Denzel grins).
Brittany: Well, let's find out how America voted.
Brittany: Betty and Corky and Denzel and Cheryl have found themselves in the bottom-two for Week 7. Let's find out the results.
Dramatic elimination music plays
Kendall: (camera goes to Betty) Betty and Corky. Betty, after your great week last week, you came back this week to land at the bottom of the leaderboard for the fourth week in a row. Has America said "It's time for you to go"?
Brittany: (camera goes to Denzel) Denzel and Cheryl. Denzel, your badly reviewed Paso Doble last week sent you into the bottom-two. This week, your Argentine Tango marked a comeback for you. But, was it not enough for America to save you?
Kendall: (camera pans Betty and Chelsie) Betty and Corky... Denzel and Cheryl... On this seventh week of competition, the couple with the lowest overall total and therefore leaving right now is...
Elimination music plays and camera pans in
Kendall: Denzel and Cheryl. (audience boos; Cheryl hugs Denzel)
Brittany: Which means Betty and Corky, you're safe. (quiet cheers; Denzel and Betty hug goodbye, Cheryl and Corky also hug, Denzel and Cheryl walk down to Brittany and Kendall)
Denzel: You know, after last week, I knew we were hanging on a thin string. I tried my best, and to go out on a good note is always best. I'm proud, thanks for having me (audience applauds)!
Brittany: And Cheryl, final thoughts?
Cheryl: To say this has been my favorite season yet would be an understatement. Denzel is such a kind, generous, and willing to learn-kind of person. He always gave 110% and I couldn't ask for more that that. I'm so proud of you, Denzel (Denzel and Cheryl hug)!
Kendall: And I'm Kendall Schmidt. Good night and thanks for watching.
Cast dances gathers around Denzel and Cheryl, credits roll, camera fades out
