Speaker 1: Miss Spelling with Tory Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: welcome to Misstepping. I know I'm not Toy. I sincerely apologize,
Speaker 1: but I assure you I am one of Toy's closest friends.
Speaker 1: My name is Easton. I am a sound engineer here
Speaker 1: on Misstepping, and if you've been listening the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, I have joined Tory on this adventure through
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Star of season thirty four. I am
Speaker 1: here to take over to recap Wicked Night for you.
Speaker 1: It was such a good show. I'm so excited. I
Speaker 1: have so many thoughts to share. Before we get into
Speaker 1: Wicked Night, I just want to apologize from the bottom
Speaker 1: of my heart, from me to you. We are close friends,
Speaker 1: and I am apologizing to you. We did not get
Speaker 1: last week Dedication Night. We missed it and I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry about that. So really quick, before we get into
Speaker 1: the wickedness of it all, before we journey to OZ,
Speaker 1: I just want to share a few thoughts from Dedication Night.
Speaker 2: This is night five. My god, what an emotional night.
Speaker 1: Right If you guys watch this, the the dedications were
Speaker 1: so touching that I cried doing almost every single intro package.
Speaker 1: It was remarkable how many tears I shed during this show.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed Kim Johnson as the guest host. I
Speaker 1: thought something I really liked about her was she gave
Speaker 1: like practical tips at the end of her of her judgment,
Speaker 1: she was like for one of them, she she had
Speaker 1: this move where's like, oh, hold a pen in your fingers,
Speaker 1: like that will keep your hands straight as you move.
Speaker 1: I thought that was like, I'm not a dancer, obviously,
Speaker 1: but like, I thought that was really cool. I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed her her style of judging. She was great. The
Speaker 1: Robert or Win dance. I mean, what a highlight, incredible,
Speaker 1: not a dry eye in the house, just such a
Speaker 1: such a sweet tribute to his mother, and what an
Speaker 1: incredible dance to.
Speaker 2: The only thing I got it that I that I
Speaker 2: didn't like.
Speaker 1: I was really sad with how little attention they gave
Speaker 1: my beloved Daniel Offischal and Pasha Pashakav. She brought in
Speaker 1: Bill Daniels, the legendary William Daniels. He was night writer
Speaker 1: on Or, he was kit on night Writer, he was
Speaker 1: mister Feene. It was just cool to see him up
Speaker 1: there and he wasn't acknowledged at all by.
Speaker 2: The judges, which was very upsetting.
Speaker 1: But Dedication Night was so good, and then the no
Speaker 1: elimination caught me by surprise.
Speaker 2: I was caught completely off guard.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a sweet move to do because
Speaker 1: so many people had their like children there and their
Speaker 1: their family members. I understand this is the first time
Speaker 1: in Dance with Stars history that the dedicated the people
Speaker 1: they're dedicating to are part of the dance. Usually it's
Speaker 1: just they say, I'm doing this dance for you, but
Speaker 1: this time, so many people were on the floor with them,
Speaker 1: dancing incredibly by the way. I mean, Lisa and Walter
Speaker 1: just had it, got all those moves it. It was
Speaker 1: so cool seeing like Jordan Childs and her dad out
Speaker 1: there and knowing like, oh, this guy probably only had
Speaker 1: a few days to rehearse this. They all did such
Speaker 1: a good job, so cool that they didn't eliminate anyone.
Speaker 1: But also, you know, I was also like a come on,
Speaker 1: let's thin the herd a little bit. Which brings us
Speaker 1: to Wicked Night. This is night night six of season
Speaker 1: thirty four. We have another special guest host, John m
Speaker 1: chu the director of Wicked. It's joined joined the judge's table.
Speaker 1: This man is clearly a Dancing with the Stars fan.
Speaker 1: That is something I was really excited about. He is
Speaker 1: ready to ready to judge. He has a lot of
Speaker 1: thoughts and he's ready to promote Wicked. Tonight is sponsored
Speaker 1: by Wicked for Good in theaters November twenty first.
Speaker 2: It's rated PG.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about tonight. The opening number was so crazy,
Speaker 1: just with all the every dancer participating, and when they
Speaker 1: got to the judge's table, Derek Huff jumped off the
Speaker 1: top of it.
Speaker 2: I thought that he joined the dance. That was really
Speaker 2: fun to see.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed that opening number, and right off the bat,
Speaker 1: I think John m Cheu just giving great energy as
Speaker 1: a judge. Really excited. So let's dive in our first dance.
Speaker 1: Scott Hoying from Pentatonics and Riley Arnold dancing to the
Speaker 1: Wizard and I.
Speaker 2: Something about these this week.
Speaker 1: I'm really I noticed this right off the bat in
Speaker 1: the intro package when they're showing the practicing the rehearsal
Speaker 1: from the previous week, Riley really hits the critiques that
Speaker 1: they got and you can see her implementing that criticism
Speaker 1: into how they're practicing and how they're rehearsing. I thought
Speaker 1: that was really cool because that's something I think about
Speaker 1: a lot when I watched the show and I see
Speaker 1: the judges. I think sometimes they give very specific criticism,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's more broad. But I'm like, how are they
Speaker 1: thinking about this as they head into the next week?
Speaker 1: Are they like taking that Like, I'm so curious how
Speaker 1: that works. And we got a little window into that
Speaker 1: with Riley and Scott as they prepare for their dance
Speaker 1: to the Wizard and I really great dance. I thought, crazy,
Speaker 1: high energy, but every single judge had a critique.
Speaker 2: They were really going hard right off the bat.
Speaker 1: Just everybody had had something to say for Scott and Riley.
Speaker 1: And something else I really enjoyed was if you go
Speaker 1: back and watch this when Derek is giving his critiques,
Speaker 1: there were two people behind him that didn't know that
Speaker 1: they had to sit down at that point, and they
Speaker 1: so they're the only ones standing and then they sit down,
Speaker 1: they both make like a oops kind of a face,
Speaker 1: and that was really funny to see. But you know,
Speaker 1: Bruno said he he loved watching Scott let loose and
Speaker 1: Carrie Anne. I gave them a seven as well. They're
Speaker 1: just straight sevens across the board and Scott has a
Speaker 1: seven seven seven tattoo on his wrist. He's really excited
Speaker 1: to see a straight sevens. But yeah, they had They
Speaker 1: had a lot of critiques from the judges. So we
Speaker 1: shall see what happens as we move forward. And next
Speaker 1: up Alex Earl and Val Schmerkowsky dancing to what is
Speaker 1: this feeling? And something I like about this dance? This
Speaker 1: dance was so good. They're so good. Alex Earl is
Speaker 1: really coming to the front of the pack for me
Speaker 1: in terms of the dancers I like and I think
Speaker 1: could go all the way. I really have enjoyed her
Speaker 1: more and more each week. But the fact that they
Speaker 1: chose this song I really really liked for two reasons.
Speaker 2: So there are there's a chatter.
Speaker 1: Online, there are rumors, there's social media and stuff about
Speaker 1: how they don't get along Alex and Val they do
Speaker 1: not like each other. They did speak out and squash
Speaker 1: those rumors. They say they like each other quite a bit.
Speaker 1: They get along very well. They're very locked in when
Speaker 1: it comes to the dance and comes to practicing, so
Speaker 1: that you know, if people think they're not getting along
Speaker 1: they're just very into the craft.
Speaker 2: But this dance is about two characters.
Speaker 1: That don't get along, so that was kind of a
Speaker 1: we felt like they were leaning into that about how
Speaker 1: they just really don't like each other. They are really
Speaker 1: great toss in this dance. I loved seeing Alex get
Speaker 1: into the air. And also it was fun because if
Speaker 1: you know this song, and if you know this part
Speaker 1: of the Wicked movie, there's a part where they're in
Speaker 1: the dance where they're like walking with a book. They're
Speaker 1: stacked like, you know, kind of marching towards the camera
Speaker 1: and doing this cool like arm movement with their textbooks.
Speaker 1: And that was a huge TikTok moment earlier this year.
Speaker 1: And so you know, Alex is like the TikTok queen,
Speaker 1: so that was very fun to see her take on
Speaker 1: that dance. I mean, when it got to that part
Speaker 1: of the song, it was very traumatic for me because
Speaker 1: I tried to do that dance on TikTok and it
Speaker 1: was really really hard. But just almost straight nines for them.
Speaker 1: There was one. There was one eight from John m
Speaker 1: Chu gave them an eight. He appreciated their storytelling, but
Speaker 1: everyone else gave him a nine. Carrie Ann said it
Speaker 1: was Alex's best dance yet. Bruto Bruto called the routine delicious.
Speaker 1: We love Bruno's reactions. Really great showing from Alex Earl
Speaker 1: and Val Schmurkowsky. We're moving on to another. There's so
Speaker 1: many good people this season. My god, you guys, there's
Speaker 1: so many good dancers, and we're hitting with another superstar,
Speaker 1: Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson again. I'm really enjoying these
Speaker 1: intro packages because I kind of complained a bit during
Speaker 1: Disney Night because we didn't I like watching them practice.
Speaker 1: I like watching them rehearse, and Disney Night we just
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, oh cool, they're there on It's
Speaker 1: a small world after all.
Speaker 2: But like we kind of.
Speaker 1: Got we didn't get our practice movements from Disney Night.
Speaker 1: We're making up for it now. I really enjoyed watching
Speaker 1: Robert just wipe out during this rehearsal package. It was
Speaker 1: really fun seeing how he's so good and I feel
Speaker 1: like he's one of those guys where he's just everything
Speaker 1: comes to him easily and naturally. He's just such a
Speaker 1: He's such a talented, good looking young man. I love
Speaker 1: watching him struggle. It's like no, he is human. And
Speaker 1: it also it reminds you how much work he's putting
Speaker 1: into this. This is hard stuff to do and he
Speaker 1: is nailing it so well. But that is just from
Speaker 1: just hard work. This guy is practicing so hard. This
Speaker 1: was such an ambitious dance. They absolutely nailed it. Just incredible.
Speaker 1: They're right back up to the top of the leaderboard.
Speaker 1: I think they're just really it just incredible. John m
Speaker 1: Chew said, I know how hard it is to walk
Speaker 1: on books, and that made me laugh. They also talked
Speaker 1: about how this dance had a lot of book aography,
Speaker 1: which I believe is choreography with books and not something
Speaker 1: else with books, but straight nines across the board.
Speaker 2: They loved this dance. It was so good. I really
Speaker 2: loved Derek saying.
Speaker 1: Hey, Alre, you got to change out your hiking boots
Speaker 1: for some Broadway shoes.
Speaker 2: That was funny.
Speaker 1: And also, I would like to see I like to
Speaker 1: see Robert on Broadway. I think he's got a break
Speaker 1: career as a dancer ahead of him after this. This
Speaker 1: guy's got so much talent. I am just so impressed
Speaker 1: with Robert Irwin. God, you know, is he gonna take
Speaker 1: home the mirror Ball, I don't know. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to see. We're moving on to Whitney Levitt and Mark Ballas.
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, just three in a row of
Speaker 1: people that I might put money down to win this
Speaker 1: whole thing. They danced to Popular, one of if not
Speaker 1: the most popular, well, I mean probably define Gravity's probably
Speaker 1: the most popular song, but but popular is up there
Speaker 1: in terms of popularity when it comes to Wicked. Very
Speaker 1: very excited for them to dance to Popular. They they
Speaker 1: did such a good job. Again, I keep going back
Speaker 1: to these intro packages from rehearsing. I really enjoyed them,
Speaker 1: and you can see in theirs that being ahead of
Speaker 1: the music really got to Whitney. She was really bothered
Speaker 1: by this. But they were locked in this week. They
Speaker 1: put in so much work. They did such an incredible dance.
Speaker 1: This was one We're gonna go back and watch this
Speaker 1: more multiple times.
Speaker 2: What an incredible dance. We just loved it.
Speaker 1: They were using props from the actual movie, which was incredible.
Speaker 1: They were so so present, so locked in, just I
Speaker 1: mean speechless, like like I keep saying, like Alex Earl
Speaker 1: Robert or when Whitney love Those are the ones I
Speaker 1: think that like they're going all the way. But after
Speaker 1: seeing Whitney's dance this week, I'm like, oh, she is
Speaker 1: winning this entire thing. She with no doubt in my
Speaker 1: mind at this point, she and Mark are winning this
Speaker 1: whole competition. John m chu said he got lost in
Speaker 1: the dance and almost forgot he was judging. I mean,
Speaker 1: what a great compliment from the guy that directed the movie.
Speaker 1: Just incredible. He gave them a ten, and Bruno also
Speaker 1: loved the routine. He gave them another ten, and Carrie
Speaker 1: Anne said that the dance was unhinged all the right
Speaker 1: ways gave them also a ten. The first tens of
Speaker 1: the season. Wow, and almost straight tens across the board.
Speaker 2: What a ride. It's just crazy. I mean, it was nuts.
Speaker 1: Was something about the judging during this part though, that
Speaker 1: I just really locked onto. Was somebody's mic was on
Speaker 1: when Bruno was speaking. I think it was Juli Ann.
Speaker 1: I watched this part a couple of times. It was
Speaker 1: trying to feel what was happening, but somebody's mic was on.
Speaker 1: You can hear them just kind of making small talk
Speaker 1: like they weren't like. It was really distracting, and I
Speaker 1: felt so bad for whoever was in the control room
Speaker 1: because they probably got in a lot of trouble. All right, next,
Speaker 1: let's move on to these dancers are all so good.
Speaker 1: There's another's I love them all so much, Dylan Ephron
Speaker 1: and Daniella Ketterer. Gosh, we love Dylan and Daniella. They
Speaker 1: are just so fun to watch.
Speaker 2: They danced too. I'm not that girl.
Speaker 1: They're hey, they they're coming off a high. They're at
Speaker 1: the top of the leaderboard. But last week I wasn't
Speaker 1: in dedication. It was a sweet dance. I loved seeing
Speaker 1: him dance with his young sister, but I wasn't that impressed.
Speaker 1: But this time they brought it, baby, Oh, they brought
Speaker 1: it great control. The spin they did was so cool,
Speaker 1: so fun, I mean truly flying, crazy spin. And they
Speaker 1: have such great chemistry as dancers. I really love watching them.
Speaker 1: They just seem like they get along so well. They're
Speaker 1: having such a fun time. And during the judging portion,
Speaker 1: Derek called dancing with Danielle as trying to dance with
Speaker 1: a ferrari or something like that, and they all really
Speaker 1: locked onto that metaphor. They called her the the rest
Speaker 1: of the portion, there but a great dance. I'm really
Speaker 1: impressed with them, but Carrie Anne was excited about how
Speaker 1: Dylan has grown as a dancer, but also she and
Speaker 1: Bruno mentioned that Dylan would lose control of the fluidity.
Speaker 1: They both gave him an eight, and Derek said that
Speaker 1: Danielle is that is that girl and gave her an
Speaker 1: eight as well. Congratulations to Dylan and Danielle. They're so
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Can't wait for next week and coming
Speaker 1: up we have Andy Richter and Emma Slater so much
Speaker 1: fun to watch.
Speaker 2: They embody.
Speaker 1: Andy just really embodies the spirit of this show and
Speaker 1: we're going to get into that right after this break
Speaker 1: stick around. It's misstepping. This is misstepping. I am not
Speaker 1: Tory spelling. My name is Easton Allen. I am Tory's
Speaker 1: sound engineer. Hold your applause, people, hold your applause. I
Speaker 1: know it's crazy. How did they get me? How did
Speaker 1: they free up time in my schedule to do this?
Speaker 1: The world shall never know.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I love toy so so much, and she has dearly missed.
Speaker 2: I hope you're having fun with.
Speaker 1: Me today as we recap Wicked Night on season thirty
Speaker 1: four Dancing with the Stars, We're going to dance right
Speaker 1: into our next couple here, Andy Richter and Emma Slater.
Speaker 1: Andy the dark horse for this season. We thought he
Speaker 1: was going to go home. The first week. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the first first elimination, it's gonna be Andy
Speaker 1: and Corey Feldman. I'm so sorry you guys. I love
Speaker 1: you both, but I did not think they were gonna
Speaker 1: make it that far. We're over halfway through. We're halfway
Speaker 1: through the season and Andy is here.
Speaker 2: People. He is the people's princess. Everyone loves Andy Richter.
Speaker 1: They're really voting him on because they want to see
Speaker 1: how much he improves it dancing and they want to
Speaker 1: see him go all the way. It is really fun
Speaker 1: to watch him get more and more excited about dancing,
Speaker 1: and he's just putting so much work into it. They
Speaker 1: danced to One Short Day, and they danced a jazz
Speaker 1: to One Short Day, and their costumes blew my mind.
Speaker 1: I love their costumes so much. They were in these
Speaker 1: emerald emerald colored costumes for the Emerald City. So fun
Speaker 1: to watch them. And also they had the troop with them,
Speaker 1: which I thought was really fun. They had all these
Speaker 1: background dancers and I thought Andy did such a great
Speaker 1: job with those background dancers or know, with the troop,
Speaker 1: I don't want to diminish them, but he did such
Speaker 1: a good job like interacting with them, and his dance
Speaker 1: was so good, you know, a little low energy, but
Speaker 1: that's you know, he's an older guy. I don't want
Speaker 1: him to have to do these crazy flips or anything.
Speaker 1: But in the intro package showing them rehearse, Emma was
Speaker 1: saying that she wanted to lean into Andy's like showmanship,
Speaker 1: because he is such a he's such a performer, he's
Speaker 1: so funny. He's got such presence and that is and
Speaker 1: personality is an important part of jazz that I'm learning
Speaker 1: as a non dance expert myself, but I'm learning that
Speaker 1: watching this, watching this go Bruno very enthusiastic about Andy's timing.
Speaker 2: He gave him a seven.
Speaker 1: Carry Anne also loved their energy and really loved M's choreography.
Speaker 1: So great compliments from carry Anne and Derek a little rougher.
Speaker 1: He called the dance fantastic and uh, something I thought
Speaker 1: was funny is uh Derek gives them a six and
Speaker 1: he during his comments, he was like, you know, I'd
Speaker 1: love to see more, but we'll.
Speaker 2: We'll have to we'll have to see. Okay, Like, well,
Speaker 2: we'll see how goes.
Speaker 1: Buddy, Like he was like, we're You're not stick around
Speaker 1: much longer.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Uh, not a vote of confidence from Derek huff John
Speaker 1: him chew again. This man has to hammer that Wicked
Speaker 1: is sponsoring tonight and Wicked Foregod is coming out. And
Speaker 1: so he reminds us the Wicked is all about being
Speaker 1: the underdog.
Speaker 2: And uh.
Speaker 1: He gave Andy and Emma a seven. But they did
Speaker 1: they did a good job.
Speaker 2: They're really hanging in there. At this point.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh God, tonight might be the night though
Speaker 1: where we might be saying goodbye to Andy. We'll have
Speaker 1: to We'll have to wait and see what happens. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to stick around to see.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Now we have Elaine Hendrix and Allen Burston. They danced
Speaker 1: to define Gravity. How I'm so curious. I know that,
Speaker 1: like Torris told us, like, they get to pick the
Speaker 1: songs from a list, and obviously these are all songs
Speaker 1: from Wicked. But I feel like everybody wanted to do
Speaker 1: define Gravity, right. I mean, that's the song, that is
Speaker 1: the song, but also it comes with a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure because it's the song. Are they gonna be able
Speaker 1: to nail this. Who knows, but Elaine Hendricks and Allen
Speaker 1: Burston got to dance to define gravity. I've been really
Speaker 1: enjoying the intro packages, but something that bothers me on.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but this
Speaker 1: happens every week. But like they they have these they
Speaker 1: get these shots of them in the rehearsal space, and
Speaker 1: they have to have the pros, in my opinion, awkwardly
Speaker 1: and stiltedly say it's Wicked night. We're dancing to define gravity.
Speaker 1: Like they just it does not feel natural at all,
Speaker 1: and it drives me crazy.
Speaker 2: I like, I almost.
Speaker 1: It's just like they have to sit there on a
Speaker 1: couch and just awkwardly announce what the theme of the
Speaker 1: night is and it's.
Speaker 2: How you set it up. But I don't know, get
Speaker 2: me in there.
Speaker 1: I got some transitions for that would be a lot
Speaker 1: more natural, I think. Anyway, Alan reminds us it is
Speaker 1: Wicked night, and uh, they were not happy about their
Speaker 1: scores last week. We saw a lot of flashbacks to
Speaker 1: Dedication Night. They were not happy with with the comments
Speaker 1: they got, and we're reminded that Elaine had gotten to
Speaker 1: a really crazy car accident a number of years ago
Speaker 1: and has a titanium rod in her foot, in her toe,
Speaker 1: and it means dancing especially very painful, very difficult. And
Speaker 1: I knew that she was in an she had an injury,
Speaker 1: but I was not really familiar with the extent of
Speaker 1: it until now. But I mean incredible, Like she's got
Speaker 1: such energy, and you can they show her just really
Speaker 1: struggling during these during these rehearsals, and I am just
Speaker 1: so blown away at her perseverance and how she's breaking
Speaker 1: through that pain to put on this dance. What a dance.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. This may have been my favorite of
Speaker 1: the night. It was so incredible. They did this flying
Speaker 1: spin thing that I thought was the coolest thing in
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 2: I loved that. It was just so nuts.
Speaker 1: And then they do this move where like Alan is
Speaker 1: fighting off like members of the troop. They're trying to
Speaker 1: like attack them, and Elaine somehow does like a costume
Speaker 1: change and gets into a rig that rises up above
Speaker 1: the dance floor with this giant dress. She's wearing, the hat,
Speaker 1: she's got the broom. She's Alpha Bah. I can't believe it.
Speaker 1: She's she's up high she's this gigantic witch and she's
Speaker 1: you know, a dance.
Speaker 2: You know, you can't dance a.
Speaker 1: Lot when you're in a big like special effect like that.
Speaker 2: But she's dancing with.
Speaker 1: Her arms and they're doing the big note from from
Speaker 1: Defying Gravity. Though. It was so fun, what an incredible dance.
Speaker 1: It was so great.
Speaker 2: John M.
Speaker 1: Chu the director of Wicked in Theaters November twenty first
Speaker 1: Rate PG. He loved it. He gave it a nine.
Speaker 1: So many nines across the board here from the judges.
Speaker 1: Bruno was so excited. The four nines for them. Just
Speaker 1: fantastic work. Just a great job from Elaine Hendricks and
Speaker 1: Allen Burston. All right, so now we're gonna move on here.
Speaker 1: I keep saying how much I love all the dancers
Speaker 1: on this season. They are also good. This is really
Speaker 1: John M. Chew at one point says, this is probably
Speaker 1: the best season of Dancing with the Stars it's ever happened.
Speaker 2: I'm a new viewer myself.
Speaker 1: My favorite season is still Tory Spelling season, because I
Speaker 1: love Toy Spelling so much and I wanted to see
Speaker 1: more from her. So in my opinion, the best season
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars is episode one and two of
Speaker 1: season thirty three because they have toy spelling in it.
Speaker 1: But this is such a talent loaded season, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: That being said.
Speaker 1: That being said, I my wife is a massive fan
Speaker 1: of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. I have watched
Speaker 1: a lot of this show as well, so I'm kind
Speaker 1: of familiar with the Mormon Wives. Jen Affleck, I am
Speaker 1: not as thrilled with her. I'm not enjoying her as much.
Speaker 1: And Yon Robnick, he's new. I get bad vibes from
Speaker 1: this dude. I know he was on the Airs tour,
Speaker 1: but and Carrie Anne's been really hard on him. She
Speaker 1: has just been She really does not like him. She's
Speaker 1: been really hard on Yan, and I feel bad for
Speaker 1: him for that. Again, it's his first season.
Speaker 2: This is tough.
Speaker 1: I get weird vibes from him. I don't really I'm
Speaker 1: not having fun watching Jen's dance. I'm not a big
Speaker 1: fan of hers. I am ready for her to go
Speaker 1: I'm ready for her to go home. And a lot
Speaker 1: of drama in their intro package as we get into
Speaker 1: their performance, and then during their dance, she had a
Speaker 1: few flubs. I think she was dragging a little bit.
Speaker 1: She wasn't on time. I think she's going home soon.
Speaker 1: In fact, at this point, as I'm watching this, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's going home tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: And like she said in the package that they were doing,
Speaker 1: she wanted harder routine, she wanted tougher choreography, and Derek
Speaker 1: said he was like, if you want harder, you don't
Speaker 1: want harder routines. That's not what's going to set you above.
Speaker 1: You know, the difficulty is not what's going to make
Speaker 1: you rise to the top. So don't try to go
Speaker 1: for the difficult challenge here. But John im Chew, the
Speaker 1: director of Wicked in theaters November twenty first, gave her
Speaker 1: an eight. He appreciated how she challenged herself, and Bruno
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you're getting there.
Speaker 2: You are getting there, darling.
Speaker 1: So not terrible scores, but you know, not nines and
Speaker 1: ten's like we've seen tonight so far. Coming up, we
Speaker 1: have a member of our iHeart Podcast family, Daniel Fischel
Speaker 1: and Pasha Pashakap. But before that, we got to ride
Speaker 1: our broomstick into some commercials. Welcome back to misstepping. My
Speaker 1: name is Easton. I am doing this solo. Baby I'm
Speaker 1: dancing solo. We're recapping Wicked night on Dancing with the Stars,
Speaker 1: and now we're moving on to our penultimate dance of
Speaker 1: the night. This is Daniel Official and Pasha Poshkov. They
Speaker 1: danced to and I apologize. I don't think I said
Speaker 1: what danced Jan Affleck and Yon Robineck dance Too is
Speaker 1: as long as your Mind, So I'm sorry. They danced
Speaker 1: a fox Trot too, as long as your mind. If
Speaker 1: everyone keeping notes at home, Okay, now we're moving on
Speaker 1: to Daniel Fishal and Pasha Poshkov. They danced to No
Speaker 1: Good Deed, and again it was really interesting. This is
Speaker 1: across the board. They were really showing how every dancer
Speaker 1: was taking the criticism from last week specifically and working
Speaker 1: it into their dances for this week. And Danielle I
Speaker 1: could tell, was so affected by I'm carry dancing. I'm
Speaker 1: watching the same dance over and over, which again I
Speaker 1: think is that has criticism on Pasha. I mean, come on, like,
Speaker 1: Daniel's not choreograph. She's not choreographing these things. She's she
Speaker 1: was on boy Be's World. She's not a dancer. Come on, Pasha,
Speaker 1: what's going on here? So they're trying to set themselves
Speaker 1: apart from from their previous weeks. They danced in Argentinian
Speaker 1: tango and uh, it just Danielle practicing so hard in
Speaker 1: this in this package, she was really going hard. She
Speaker 1: wants to rise above and it paid off. What a
Speaker 1: great dance, so many cool spins, so many great holds,
Speaker 1: an incredible finish.
Speaker 2: I mean, my god, that is the shot.
Speaker 1: How they they finish this dance, Pasha holding Danielle kind
Speaker 1: of like a like a spear pointed at the ground
Speaker 1: and she's staring straight like so much trust required in
Speaker 1: your partner to do something like that, and the image
Speaker 1: was so spellbinding. I loved it. I thought it was
Speaker 1: so cool. And they had pyrotechnics. I didn't know that
Speaker 1: was something you could do, and dancing with the stars.
Speaker 1: We had pyro at the beginning, pure flames for this dance.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: And Bruno pointed out how difficult dancing to a song
Speaker 1: like that it can be. You have to time your
Speaker 1: moves with the words and with the breaths, and this
Speaker 1: is something that's very challenging to do. But Danielle and
Speaker 1: Pasha nailed it. They got their first nine straight nines.
Speaker 1: Across the board. Wow, it just absolutely incredible work. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy for Danielle and this is such a dear
Speaker 1: friend and I'm so excited to see her continue on
Speaker 1: with Dancing with Stars Season thirty four.
Speaker 2: We are a Wicked night.
Speaker 1: We're on to the final dance of the night, the
Speaker 1: final dance of the night, and it is Jordan Chiles
Speaker 1: and Ezra Sosa. We loved and Childs were really impressed
Speaker 1: by her. Her dedication dance last week with her father
Speaker 1: was so touching. The dance itself. I was not that
Speaker 1: impressed with she has stepped it up this week. Jordan
Speaker 1: Childs and azraos to dance to for Good. They danced
Speaker 1: a rumba to for Good from Wicked for Good in
Speaker 1: theaters November twenty first, and the footwork was, my god,
Speaker 1: it was so fast, so wickedly good. As Bruno said,
Speaker 1: the wickedly talented Jordan Childs and.
Speaker 2: Azra Sosa and it was. Gave it a ten.
Speaker 1: Bruno gave it a ten Carrie and said she did
Speaker 1: not want this sight to end. She called the She
Speaker 1: called Jordan and Ezra perfection. Also gave them a ten.
Speaker 1: Derek was not as oppressed. He gave him a nine,
Speaker 1: but this was another incredible dance. John im Chew gave
Speaker 1: them another almost straight tens for Jordan and Ezra, such
Speaker 1: incredible scores, putting them right at the top there with
Speaker 1: Whitney and Mark just one point behind them for the
Speaker 1: top of the leaderboard. Wow, what a set of dances.
Speaker 1: Everyone is just stepping up their games so much. This
Speaker 1: is so good. This is such a fun season to watch.
Speaker 1: But now we got to get into the final. Someone's
Speaker 1: going home. Someone's going home. They tricked us last week
Speaker 1: and no one went home, but this week someone is leaving.
Speaker 2: It's so sad.
Speaker 1: And I'm watching all the dancers up there on the
Speaker 1: stage and they're they're hugging their partners, and I'm just like, god,
Speaker 1: this is like people have to be eliminated. That is
Speaker 1: the show, that is the game. They have to go home.
Speaker 1: But ah, god, they're all so good. I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: and you know, I've got my scorecard and I'm like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: well I really think like at first I thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be a lane and I'm sorry, but like
Speaker 1: the older people, you know, it's they have an extra challenge.
Speaker 1: And I feel so bad about it, but like, it's
Speaker 1: kind of easy to think, like, Okay, well, I think
Speaker 1: it's probably between Elaine and Andy, but I really I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: Jen affleck, I think she's going home tonight. I was
Speaker 1: so ready to say farewell to Jen and Yan. They
Speaker 1: get down, they start eliminating people. They start saying who's safe,
Speaker 1: and I saw Elaine get saved pretty early, which made
Speaker 1: me happy. But then this caught me so off guard.
Speaker 1: I was so shocked at this. Scott Hoying and Riley
Speaker 1: Arnold get eliminated, they get sent home.
Speaker 2: I thought they were fine.
Speaker 1: I think they were like fantastic, but I really thought
Speaker 1: this was the night Andy was going to go home.
Speaker 1: Andy is just the people's princess. He is the dark horse.
Speaker 1: Here we say farewell to Pentatonic Scott Hoying and Riley Arnold.
Speaker 1: A great job, but not quite enough to make it
Speaker 1: through next week.
Speaker 2: It's Halloween night.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's Halloween week and we're celebrating Halloween. Oh
Speaker 1: oh my god, I cannot wait. If someone better danced
Speaker 1: to the goddamn monster mash. I'd better see the monster
Speaker 1: mash out there. I'm so excited. And our special guest
