Speaker 2: Okay, guys, Dancing with the Stars finale was last night
Speaker 2: and you I was doing my podcast, so I've tried
Speaker 2: to sleep with my makeup and hair and somewhat. And
Speaker 2: am I Dancing with the Stars t shirt that my
Speaker 2: kid got thrun in the audience. They were tossing them
Speaker 2: out and he was like, Mom, you deserve this. I'm
Speaker 2: like God, at least I got something. And I am
Speaker 2: joined today by my friend Easton Allen, who also works
Speaker 2: with me at iHeart and is my fabulous sound engineer producer.
Speaker 2: You're everything in one I can't even you're a host,
Speaker 2: You're just everything.
Speaker 1: So Hi, You're too kind, toy. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: It's such an honor to be here on this side
Speaker 1: of the microphone today.
Speaker 2: I know see I always get to hear and see
Speaker 2: this part, but.
Speaker 3: You guys don't.
Speaker 2: So I'm honored that you're joining me today. And of
Speaker 2: course ruth Anna is here with us from the East
Speaker 2: Coast because she flew out of a red eye last night.
Speaker 3: Are you tired?
Speaker 4: I am exhausted, but this is how dedicated I am
Speaker 4: to you, Tori.
Speaker 2: She is Okay, Dancing with the Stars finale. So, as
Speaker 2: you guys know, I was on Dancing with the Stars
Speaker 2: Season thirty three. I was sadly eliminated in the first elimination,
Speaker 2: which was the second week double elimination. It was Pasha
Speaker 2: and I went home and Anna Delvey and Ezra went
Speaker 2: home and it stood for nothing less than iconic when
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, this is the best
Speaker 2: experience I've ever had. And they said, Anna, what do
Speaker 2: you take away from this? And she said nothing, but
Speaker 2: damn have we all capitalized on that?
Speaker 3: Thank god? She said that.
Speaker 2: We were lucky enough to be able to come back
Speaker 2: for the finale. Everybody came back for the finale. All
Speaker 2: of the eliminated contestants joined the five finalists. Last night,
Speaker 2: I was filming a movie. I got eliminated. Because of that,
Speaker 2: I was able to do a movie in Florida and
Speaker 2: the Everglades. Did that for almost a month, flew home,
Speaker 2: no joke, went right into rehearsals for my dance with
Speaker 2: Pasha and Ezra and Anna and our opening performance, and
Speaker 2: it was so good to be back in the ballroom.
Speaker 2: I got to say, it was such beautiful memories. But
Speaker 2: I felt like I really wanted one more dance with Pasha.
Speaker 2: I felt like we had one more dance in US.
Speaker 2: I mean we had more than that, but one more.
Speaker 2: And I felt very vindicated because I got to do
Speaker 2: my dance and we got to do proper lifts in
Speaker 2: the dance, and we danced to Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing.
Speaker 2: Because the second part of it, Anna came out and
Speaker 2: obviously her iconic phrase nothing was there. It was so
Speaker 2: much fun to be back with all of my dance
Speaker 2: and seeing family. If you watched, you know Jenna and
Speaker 2: Joey one, they did amazing. I have many thoughts on
Speaker 2: all the finalists, but we'll get to that. Sorry I'm
Speaker 2: talking too much.
Speaker 1: Euston I it was so exciting seeing you. There's a
Speaker 1: part where like you do a kind of a spin
Speaker 1: move and then you look right into the endo the
Speaker 1: camera and you look so good and I felt like
Speaker 1: you were staying right in my soul. And that was
Speaker 1: my favorite part of the whole thing.
Speaker 3: I was that that was my EMMO.
Speaker 2: You didn't know, mamma, Wow, you picked up on that
Speaker 2: executed perfectly.
Speaker 1: How long did you all have to rehearse for that?
Speaker 1: For that huge number?
Speaker 2: So Here's here's the interesting thing on Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2: When you're you start the show, you get a little
Speaker 2: bit of time. For your first dance. You get like
Speaker 2: I would say, we had like ten days of rehearsal maybe,
Speaker 2: and then each week you get five days, so it
Speaker 2: gets harder and harder. And then the finalists had two
Speaker 2: dances last night, they had the Judge is a redemption
Speaker 2: dance and then their freestyle dance but for the opening number,
Speaker 2: and then Pasha and I obviously had our mini number
Speaker 2: that we did together.
Speaker 3: We got two.
Speaker 1: Days, two days.
Speaker 2: Two days, and then we ran into camera blocking, so
Speaker 2: it was like, oh my gosh, my brain was.
Speaker 3: Just like woo. It was like focus, you're back, this
Speaker 3: is it.
Speaker 2: I was pretty used to in the moment dancing every day,
Speaker 2: you know, four to six hours a day, seven six
Speaker 2: days a week, so I yeah, went back into it
Speaker 2: and it was like, oh, right, this is what my
Speaker 2: body's supposed to do.
Speaker 1: I think I picked it back for a dance like
Speaker 1: that where it's everybody and there's so many people, like
Speaker 1: are you and Pasha just practicing like rehearsing on your
Speaker 1: own and then you like kind of added into the
Speaker 1: or is there a part where like the whole group
Speaker 1: gets together, because is there's so much coordination from everybody
Speaker 1: for that kind of.
Speaker 3: Thing we did.
Speaker 2: Pasha and I practiced that little mini thing with the
Speaker 2: entire group by ourselves, and then late Saturday night we
Speaker 2: were joined by everybody and Sunday and then we did
Speaker 2: it all together.
Speaker 1: Was that emotional for you to see everybody back together again?
Speaker 3: It really was, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And to see the crew and everyone, it was emotional.
Speaker 2: It was a happy place, a joyful place. And one
Speaker 2: member of the crew, I think yesterday, right before the show,
Speaker 2: she was like, are you are you excited to be back?
Speaker 2: Are you bummed that you had to come back and
Speaker 2: do this? And I was like, no, bummed, not at all.
Speaker 2: And I said, I was so excited when they asked
Speaker 2: me to come back, because first of all, they asked
Speaker 2: me to come back for that big opening number. But
Speaker 2: then they were like, but you and Pasha also get
Speaker 2: one more dance, and I was like, yes, I am
Speaker 2: gonna nail that one and show them all why they
Speaker 2: shouldn't have send us home. I just loved I love
Speaker 2: dancing so much, like it really something I never thought
Speaker 2: i'd say. I don't know, it inspired me on so
Speaker 2: many levels that I didn't want to stop dancing. And
Speaker 2: it's interesting with work, as we all know, when work
Speaker 2: is over, it's like you go home, and I don't
Speaker 2: know if this is specific to the entertainment industry and
Speaker 2: music and everything, but once you know, shows over, it
Speaker 2: closed as you go and it's like done. So it
Speaker 2: was cool to be like, oh, my door closed, and
Speaker 2: then it reopened for a few days, and here I
Speaker 2: was doing it. I got to say though, everyone, like
Speaker 2: last night, right before the show, I was so nervous
Speaker 2: and everyone's like, oh, there's no pressure, just have fun.
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe it's the perfectionist in me or the
Speaker 2: person that's terrified to perform.
Speaker 3: In front of a live audience.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, I think this one
Speaker 2: there was actually more pressure on me, to be honest
Speaker 2: from myself, because I was like, okay, let go one
Speaker 2: of two ways, Like we went out on two great dances.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I was just getting the hang of it. I've never
Speaker 2: had dance training. I'm not an athlete. Let's face it.
Speaker 2: If you know me, you know I barely move, so
Speaker 2: you know, jumping into that, I am flexible that's the
Speaker 2: one thing I got going for me, But jumping into
Speaker 2: that it was really hard. So I feel like I
Speaker 2: would have kept growing if I had stayed on the show. So,
Speaker 2: you know, while the judges comments on my performance are performance,
Speaker 2: the first two weeks, I felt we're super fair, and
Speaker 2: I was taking notes to improve on that. You know,
Speaker 2: some people come out of the gate and have it
Speaker 2: and a lot of them had dance experience. A lot
Speaker 2: of them, you know, are athletes, so they just move
Speaker 2: and don't get nervous in front of a crowd, and
Speaker 2: there's so many added things and I'm like, that's not
Speaker 2: my case. So but I thought we did really well,
Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, so we went out on
Speaker 2: a bang, like everyone's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh you were robbed.
Speaker 2: You know, you shouldn't have been eliminated this soon, but
Speaker 2: you did great, And I was like, shoot, so we
Speaker 2: can come back and I could do these two proper.
Speaker 2: Like the opening number, I was like, okay, I got
Speaker 2: this one. That one's going to be easy. But this
Speaker 2: single number that Pasha and I had, we were able
Speaker 2: to do two lifts and do things I had never
Speaker 2: done before. But it always hoped I would grow to
Speaker 2: do and I was like, gosh, this is on live TV.
Speaker 2: This is the finale. People could be like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: she's back. And then you know, I could screw up
Speaker 2: the dance. I could forget my moves. I could There's
Speaker 2: so many things could have gone wrong because it was
Speaker 2: very because of the lifts.
Speaker 3: It had to be done right.
Speaker 2: You couldn't fake it because if you one thing went wrong,
Speaker 2: the lifts wouldn't have gone right, especially the last spin,
Speaker 2: the lift and spin where he got me off the
Speaker 2: ground at the very end of ours. And I just
Speaker 2: kept thinking, oh my gosh, like what happens if I
Speaker 2: just like blank and I screw up?
Speaker 3: And then people were like she was so great. Oh
Speaker 3: and then she came back and blew it. But I
Speaker 3: nailed it.
Speaker 1: When you're rehearsing those kind of like spins and lifts,
Speaker 1: was there for a moment where You're like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be oh god, I could get seriously injured doing this,
Speaker 1: or like, was was there that fear in you?
Speaker 2: I just shot a movie with alligators in a swamp
Speaker 2: in the Everglades.
Speaker 3: I have no fear anymore.
Speaker 2: No, no, hurt is not the thing. I just like,
Speaker 2: first of all, it's if you're not used to being spun.
Speaker 2: He did ten spins with me above him. You get
Speaker 2: really dizzy, and then when he puts me down, you're
Speaker 2: just moving, moving, moving, You're like, you can't find your balance,
Speaker 2: and then we had to go right into the next lift,
Speaker 2: so there's not a moment to regain your balance. And
Speaker 2: the pros, you know, they know how to do this.
Speaker 2: They've been doing this for years. Even all of the
Speaker 2: contestants and the finalists they did the whole season. I
Speaker 2: had never done one of those, so I was super,
Speaker 2: super dizzy, and yeah, Pasha was just like, Okay, do
Speaker 2: you want me to cut down on the spins, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I want all ten spins.
Speaker 3: Let's go for it, Like I'm going to do this.
Speaker 2: But at that point you just have to like trust
Speaker 2: your partner because he's like, at no point do I
Speaker 2: ever let go of you. He's like, so when I
Speaker 2: place you down and everything's moving, just turn and connect
Speaker 2: with me. And that really got me through it. Like
Speaker 2: that connection with him and I to go into the
Speaker 2: final move.
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful practice, I think, not just for like
Speaker 1: doing the spins and keeping yourself in balance, but like
Speaker 1: when things feel like they're getting out of control, if
Speaker 1: you just like focus on that connection you have with
Speaker 1: somebody else, that can make you feel grounded.
Speaker 3: Right, that is super true. Oh my gosh, should we
Speaker 3: put that on a T shirt?
Speaker 1: I think we should.
Speaker 2: I haven't had a moment. I just had to keep
Speaker 2: my eye on the prize. And I'm like, kids, and
Speaker 2: we're going to get through this standing with the Stars.
Speaker 2: Then it's my movie Lost in the Everglades, and then
Speaker 2: it's back on Dancing with the Stars, and they're like,
Speaker 2: what are we gonna, you know, discuss Thanksgiving. I'm like,
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, when Dancing with the Stars is over, we're
Speaker 2: just gonna all be together. And we love to cook
Speaker 2: and do all that, so we're just gonna cook and
Speaker 2: bake and have fun and both like and we can
Speaker 2: start officially listening to Christmas music. I'm like, absolutely, and
Speaker 2: just be together. And I feel like it's It's been
Speaker 2: a crazy but blessed schedule on my part, a totally
Speaker 2: stack schedule the last few months, and I'm grateful that
Speaker 2: I have this moment of downtime to be with my kids.
Speaker 4: Okay, I have a few comments on Dancing with the Stars, as.
Speaker 3: I do, because you were there live.
Speaker 2: You were there, I was there live, and then you
Speaker 2: went right to the airport.
Speaker 4: I did go right to the airport first of all.
Speaker 4: And I'm not just saying this because I'm your favorite sidekick,
Speaker 4: but you looked stunning that outfit that I don't know.
Speaker 3: If you want to say that.
Speaker 4: You took an old outfit and made it a new outfit,
Speaker 4: which was phenomenal, Like how you how you figured out
Speaker 4: how to do that?
Speaker 2: Well, our amazing costumer Daniella did it.
Speaker 3: So I got two outfits, which was really cool.
Speaker 2: I got to do an outfit change, which as a
Speaker 2: fashion eest, I always love a good outfit change in
Speaker 2: the quickie room behind on a set. But the opening
Speaker 2: number outfit was actually yes, Yes, was actually the outfit
Speaker 2: I was wearing the night I was eliminated when Pasha
Speaker 2: and I did the rumba.
Speaker 3: But it had a long skirt attached.
Speaker 2: To it, and Daniella it up and cropped it and
Speaker 2: added some fringe and made it something new and sparkly
Speaker 2: and shorts.
Speaker 4: So the passives were phenomenal. Your work was incredible as
Speaker 4: somebody who had just spent you know, the better of
Speaker 4: three weeks with you in the Florida Everglades. The fact
Speaker 4: that you were able to transition from swimming with alligators
Speaker 4: in immense humidity and heat and like a serious acting
Speaker 4: role to then literally with less than a day dive
Speaker 4: right back into the Dancing with the Stars intense rehearsal
Speaker 4: schedule for whatever two and a half days before you
Speaker 4: had to do the show. And you know, I was
Speaker 4: watching thinking it looked like you had never left the show.
Speaker 4: So you know, I am still talking to sixty minutes
Speaker 4: about that investigation. The other thing I wanted to comment
Speaker 4: on is I happened to see a photograph of you
Speaker 4: taken I guess you were working walking into rehearsals with
Speaker 4: a T shirt.
Speaker 3: That said I was robbed, which I thought was.
Speaker 4: Brilliant since at least every time I'm with you, when
Speaker 4: you went into fans and they say they loved you
Speaker 4: on Dancing with the Stars, they say you were robbed.
Speaker 3: So that T shirt is phenomenal.
Speaker 4: I need to have one.
Speaker 2: So so the story on that is, afterwards that line
Speaker 2: just everybody kept saying it to me, like I couldn't
Speaker 2: talk to someone or even you know, out in public.
Speaker 2: You know, fans would come up to me in the
Speaker 2: grocery store. Everyone would say literally the same thing, you
Speaker 2: were robbed.
Speaker 3: And I was like that.
Speaker 2: So I was like, well, I was eliminated, robbed, Like
Speaker 2: oh well, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Have gone all the way.
Speaker 2: But it became such a thing, and you know, we
Speaker 2: do these fan conventions and everybody that came up to
Speaker 2: the table was like, we love you and Dancing with
Speaker 2: the Stars. You were robbed, you were robbed, you were robbed,
Speaker 2: You're robbed, You're rubbed.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: My thing in life is I love marketing and advertising,
Speaker 2: and I'm always like I love a good catchphrase.
Speaker 3: Hello, I use my.
Speaker 2: Name and everything and it works.
Speaker 3: But I was like, I was robbed. I was robbed.
Speaker 3: That's a T shirt. I always say everything's a T shirt.
Speaker 2: And then part of my big problem in life, which
Speaker 2: I'm working on, is I'm an idea person I don't
Speaker 2: execute it. So this time, I actually my best friend
Speaker 2: Jess and I went online and found a place that
Speaker 2: you can just like literally make a T shirt. And
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm going to fall through this time,
Speaker 2: and I got my eye was robbed t shirt, which
Speaker 2: you know, it was like a Bogo sitch, so I
Speaker 2: think I got two for the price of one or
Speaker 2: buy one, get one freeze.
Speaker 3: So I have two. I have two.
Speaker 2: That second one I actually as a joke but not
Speaker 2: a joke, want to send to my friend Chandler Kinney
Speaker 2: because while my heart was with everybody, all five finalists
Speaker 2: were unbelievable. The redemption dances were great. They're all really
Speaker 2: good humans, really good people, and really talented. There's a
Speaker 2: special place in my heart for Chandler since the beginning,
Speaker 2: and Chandler's gonna come on the show. We talked about it,
Speaker 2: so I'll save our stories for them. But you know,
Speaker 2: basically when I got eliminated, and she'll tell this story
Speaker 2: when she comes on. She said something to me when
Speaker 2: I left about it was wrong. And so last night
Speaker 2: after the show and we're all congratulating each other and
Speaker 2: gratulating the winners, and I said to Chandler, do you
Speaker 2: remember what you told me when I got to eliminated?
Speaker 2: And She's like yep, And I said back at you,
Speaker 2: and she just smiled and we were like, I.
Speaker 3: Love you, I love you. So yeah.
Speaker 2: I got that T shirt and I was like, this
Speaker 2: is funny. I'm gonna wear it one day. And remember
Speaker 2: I brought it to I brought that T shirt to
Speaker 2: the Everglades and I was like, I'm gonna wear this
Speaker 2: one day. I'm gonna way. I never wore it, and
Speaker 2: then when I went back, I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: wear it to a rehearsal.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna wear it and wear it proud.
Speaker 4: This journey may not be over for you.
Speaker 2: I don't want it to be over. And in the
Speaker 2: dance troupe is amazing. I love all of them, but
Speaker 2: specifically Stephanie who is as a sister, and Roman have
Speaker 2: agreed to officially give me dance lessons. We discussed it
Speaker 2: last night and I was like, Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 2: fall through on this, but it's on me to fall
Speaker 2: through on it. But they and I told Pasha, when
Speaker 2: you come back from tour in like four months, because
Speaker 2: they are They're on tour from January through April. It's wild.
Speaker 2: They get no break. I said, your partner here is
Speaker 2: going to have some new dance moves to impress you with.
Speaker 2: So everyone holding me to that, please hold me accountable
Speaker 2: that I will continue my dance journey. So my kids
Speaker 2: all came to the finale last night, which again my
Speaker 2: kids got to see me dance in person one more
Speaker 2: time for now and that you know, I do everything
Speaker 2: for my kids. It's that's my purpose and my art
Speaker 2: and soul. So having them there and oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna got emotional hold up. So they said us
Speaker 2: on stage, we're coming back from commercial, and what people
Speaker 2: don't see is they have a countdown up and it's
Speaker 2: like fifty nine fifty eight and it's like counting down
Speaker 2: and you know, you get to zero. We're live back
Speaker 2: from commercial, and we hear the clicks of the song
Speaker 2: and we have six clicks.
Speaker 3: So we have click click click, click, click click.
Speaker 2: And then Pasha and I go right into our moves.
Speaker 2: We see the big screen black screen behind us, and
Speaker 2: they're counting down. I looked to my kids in the
Speaker 2: audience and I was just like I love you cause
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, you know what in this moment,
Speaker 2: I need to call my nerves. I need to turn
Speaker 2: back to Pasha. I need to be focused completely on him,
Speaker 2: and we just need to be as one and just dance.
Speaker 2: But in these next couple of seconds, let me look
Speaker 2: at my five babies in the audience and I was like,
Speaker 2: I love you, and they were like love you. And
Speaker 2: my daughter Spella blew me a kiss and I was like.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: I was like, tee, take that and turn to your partner.
Speaker 2: And as Pasha used to tell me during rehearsal, do
Speaker 2: your job.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: Then I'm congratulations on two phenomenal performances. And you know,
Speaker 4: Anderson Cooper and I will be having words after the holiday.
Speaker 2: What an unbelievable experience. Like backstage afterwards, we could hear
Speaker 2: the people cheering.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: Before the show, Carrie Anne was telling Jen and I,
Speaker 2: Jen Tran and I that she's like, just you know,
Speaker 2: She's like, sometimes the audience members are all like you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of them are family members and friends, and
Speaker 2: they've been here all season. They're tired too, So sometimes
Speaker 2: what you hear in the audience, you won't hear as
Speaker 2: much cheering and stuff as you, guys expected, like when
Speaker 2: you were in the season earlier. So don't let that
Speaker 2: throw you off. And I'd like to say Carrie Anne
Speaker 2: did tell me yesterday, which I'm.
Speaker 3: Super proud of, is she said these words you.
Speaker 2: Went home too soon, And I was like, you're my friend,
Speaker 2: thank you, my beautiful judge and friend. Yes, But I
Speaker 2: got to say when Pasha and I did that first lift,
Speaker 2: and he said afterwards, did you hear the audience?
Speaker 3: They went wild?
Speaker 2: They went crazy, They went so crazy if I wanted to,
Speaker 2: I couldn't even hear the music to count my steps
Speaker 2: and beats to keep on. After that first lift, when
Speaker 2: I heard them just roar, I was like, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna nail this second one, and and and part of
Speaker 2: the thing on the second one when he does the
Speaker 2: lift and we latch arms and he like kind of
Speaker 2: throws me around. My I'm so basically get my toes.
Speaker 2: So he's like twirling me around. It's almost like a helicopter.
Speaker 3: And his you know, his.
Speaker 2: Words were, you know, in that moment, you.
Speaker 3: Just have to thrust your hips.
Speaker 2: You know, get your hips up like butt clenched and
Speaker 2: just up and that's going to give you your body
Speaker 2: the momentum to get as much height as possible. So
Speaker 2: during the rehearsals and stuff, I would always I'm I'm
Speaker 2: the hardest critic on myself.
Speaker 3: Look back at each of our rehearsals and I be.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, I just want to I see them do
Speaker 2: this on the show and all the contestants and the
Speaker 2: pros do it. I want to do this this move
Speaker 2: and I was like, I gotta get butt up, you know,
Speaker 2: And it was always something that I didn't quite get
Speaker 2: enough air. But in that moment with the crowd cheering,
Speaker 2: I like did a butt crunch of a lifetime. I'm
Speaker 2: telling you, I like I engaged my glutes so hardcore.
Speaker 2: I was driving them up through that ceiling. The mirror
Speaker 2: ball was up there, the confetti, I was like, let's
Speaker 2: hit it. Like I don't know in that moment. I
Speaker 2: but when Pasha showed me the video after, she was like, look,
Speaker 2: look back the video and.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm scared. Did I mess up? He's
Speaker 3: like no, and he was like it's great.
Speaker 2: And I look back and he goes, look at this
Speaker 2: one point, he goes, both of your feet are off the.
Speaker 3: Ground completely even, And I was like.
Speaker 4: Yes, first of all, everybody's phenomenal, but how great would
Speaker 4: it be if this cast went on tour.
Speaker 3: All of you.
Speaker 2: But during dress rehearsal, like I really got to focus
Speaker 2: backstage on watching all of the freestyles, and it was crazy.
Speaker 2: It was like I was a fan even though I
Speaker 2: knew all these people and been there, and each time
Speaker 2: I watched one of the freestyles, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: that one that they're going to win. And then I'd
Speaker 2: watch another freestyle I'd be like, oh, oh my god, shoot,
Speaker 2: they're gonna win. Like each one just kept blowing me away.
Speaker 2: I still, like I said, have a special place for
Speaker 2: Chandler and Brandon, just because their hearts are so beautiful
Speaker 2: and their energy is so beautiful, and their choreography it
Speaker 2: was so amazing. And what their freestyle stood for and
Speaker 2: what it meant to so many people I thought was
Speaker 2: so important and I loved that they did that, and
Speaker 2: yet they showed so many different sides.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I thought.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really phenomenal, and I actually, you know,
Speaker 2: never wanted to pick a favorite, but everyone was like,
Speaker 2: who do you think is going to win? I was,
Speaker 2: I said, Chandler, and you know.
Speaker 3: Watching right there because we were right.
Speaker 2: There, and as the finalists are eliminated, it just goes
Speaker 2: dark on them, and you know, the light goes out,
Speaker 2: and so you know, it was Stephen and Riley, Danny
Speaker 2: and Whitney and then I still can see it in
Speaker 2: my head.
Speaker 3: It was just so epic and so classy. Yet beautiful.
Speaker 2: When Chandler's light went out, she just put one heart
Speaker 2: up for her fans into all of her family and friends,
Speaker 2: and I was like, she's a special human. There's been
Speaker 2: thirty three seasons. Let's be real. In thirty three seasons,
