Brittany Brannon (voiceover): Last week, our quarterfinalists danced once with a regular ballroom dance, and once with a latin dance they only had 45 minutes to prepare. This lead to some of our stars slightly slipping down the leaderboard, one of them returning to the top, one of them scoring a perfect 30, and one of them scoring his best latin scores ever. But sadly, it was leaderboard topper Christina Applegate who went home!

Jennifer Aniston (voiceover): This week, IT’S THE SEMI-FINALS! Each of our stars master their final unlearned dances hoping to make it to the finals to win the ever so coveted mirrorball trophy.

In the end, it was Nickelodeon Bad Girl, Elizabeth Gillies, who was booted.
