I had so much fun watching 15 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: this episode. I just finished. Okay, this is It's Tuesday 16 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: night as we record this. I really enjoyed this episode. 17 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 1: Cheryl Burke back as a guest judge. Former pro Cheryl 18 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: Burke a member of our iHeartRadio Podcast family. I've known 19 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: Cheryl for many years now. She is so great. I 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: love her so much. She's a dear friend, and I 21 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: loved seeing her in the judges seat. She did she 22 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: was hard on everyone tonight. But before we get started here, 23 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just highlight that Cheryl was really given the 24 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: critiques of the dancers tonight, but it was great to 25 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: see her back on the dance floor this cold. Let's 26 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: just get started here. Okay, let's start from the top. 27 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: From the top, everybody the cold open great. I loved it. 28 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: The murder mystery thing, it was so cute. And then 29 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: we got to see Julianne and Alfonso appear from a 30 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: flash of smoke on the ballroom floor. That was cool. 31 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: There's gonna be no shortage of tricks and treats on 32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: this episode. Seeing all the dancers and pros in their costumes, 33 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: I had to think they must have gotten a bulk 34 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: deal on those colored contact lenses. Everybody had them. I've 35 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: never worn colored contact lenses. I've always wanted to, and 36 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: there's one simple reason why I haven't done that. I 37 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: wear real contexts. Okay, I'm not goofing around here. This 38 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: is the real I got the real deal on my eyeballs. 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: But we saw some really cool fake ones tonight, and 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really great show. But before we 41 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: get into the first dance, it's so sad to hear 42 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: that Elaine Hendrix suffered a terrible injury during rehearsal earlier 43 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: that day, and she was at the hospital during the show, 44 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: so we will not be seeing her dance live. We 45 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: will get to how they handle that later on, but 46 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: let's get started here. We got Whitney Levit Mark Ballas 47 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: kicking things off. They're dancing at Jazz to brain Stew 48 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: by Green Day. You know, I was hoping for a 49 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: monster mash at some point in this show. We did 50 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: not get the monster mash. I talked about that last week, 51 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: but we got some songs that were I guess brain 52 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: Stew's a spooky song. I don't know. It's a rock 53 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: and roll song. It's rock and baby. So we see 54 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: this like a rehearsal package, and Whitney is stressing. She 55 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: is stressing that they're not dancing, They're they're not going 56 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: hard enough. She wants to improve her moves. And they again, 57 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: they danced jazz, and they were dressed as like beetlejuice, 58 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: kind of another like Halloween adjacent vibe. I thought a 59 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: really cool dance. There was this move that they did 60 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: where Whitney leaned back and stuck her leg out and 61 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: Mark like grabbed her leg and strummed it like a guitar, 62 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: and I thought that was really cool. I really liked 63 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: that a lot. But she was out of sync. They 64 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: they were out of sync, and as Carrie Anne said, 65 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: it might be contact lens related. I again, I haven't 66 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: worn those contact lenses the costume ones. I understand they 67 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: are very thick and probably hard to see out of, 68 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: and everyone's wearing them. I'm wondering how it's gonna go 69 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: for the rest of the night. But I thought this 70 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: was a great start. They have set a very high 71 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: standard for themselves. They are dancing so well. Derek huff 72 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: that damn gigantic brooch is back. It's he loves that huge, 73 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: like six inch long brooch. I wasn't hearing a rub 74 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: against the microphone, but it is back. Nine's from Carrie 75 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: and Derek and Cheryl Bruno gave it ten. They loved 76 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: this dance. They really the judges loved this one. We're 77 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 1: gonna move on here to to Jordan Chiles and Ezra 78 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Sosa again. They're gonna go very very far. They've just 79 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: been elevating every single week. They danced a contemporary to 80 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: Elastic Heart by Sea, And something I loved about watching 81 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: their rehearsal package was I love seeing the like the 82 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: mechanics of how they are preparing for these dances. I 83 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: because you know some of these, some of these I 84 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: can tell, it's so obvious how much of these are 85 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: like stage to the like the behind the scenes stuff 86 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: where it's like it's just them like standing in a 87 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: ballroom going like, uh, well it's Halloween week and we 88 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: really have to step things. That always kind of bothers me. 89 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: But I felt that this week we got to see 90 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: a lot more real moments of them rehearsing, especially in 91 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: this one with Jordan and Ezra. I liked seeing Ezra 92 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: really showing Jordan like the moves she was missing and 93 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: giving her tips on how to make this flow easier. 94 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: I thought that was really interesting. I really enjoyed this. Uh, 95 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: they gave themselves a huge challenge with this dance because 96 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: Jordan's wearing a harness and they're like and they have 97 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: like a like a rope or a something to work 98 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: into the dance. They're dressed as mummies, so you know, 99 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: it works with the theme that's like they're they're being unraveled, 100 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: and that just the rope and the harness so much 101 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: to remember and to handle and include as part of 102 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: the choreography. It looked to me like Jordan was kind 103 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: of out of time with the rest of the dance. 104 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: But they did such a cool spin. I thought it 105 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: was another one I thought was great. There's so many 106 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: elements at work, and they did a really fantastic job. 107 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: But Derek and Carrie Anne given them some heat on 108 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: this one. Derek gave him an eight, Carrie and gave 109 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: M nine, Cheryl and eight and Bruno and nine. But 110 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: Derek saying the execution wasn't fully realized. I don't know 111 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: if I agree with that necessarily. I think they I 112 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: don't know if they nailed it perfectly, but I thought 113 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: the execution was there. I thought was fun, and it 114 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: was the first time that I had seen a harness 115 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: on this show, so that was really great. Anyway, congratulations 116 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: Jordan and Ezra. We love watching you dance. We're moving 117 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: on to the Dark Horse, The People's Princess, Andy Richter 118 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: and Emma Slater. This is a special dance. It's Andy's birthday. Tonight, 119 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: Andy's birthday and they're dancing a passadobla to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. 120 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: You know that one. No no, no, no, no no. Andy's 121 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: dressed as a priest, and he says in the rehearsal 122 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: package he has experienced playing a priest in the movie 123 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: Scary Movie Too, which fans of this show will know, 124 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: also starred a great talented actor named Tory Spelling. I 125 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: did not realize they were in a movie together, and 126 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: that was very fun. I love whenever Scary Movie Too 127 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: gets evoked because of my love for Tory. In the 128 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: rehearsal package, it sounds like Andy like lost his voice 129 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: or something. He's not a kind of horse. I'm like 130 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: he's going hard vocally here in these rehearsals. His dancing 131 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: is just improves so much this week I think was 132 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: an exponential leap from last week too. He is just 133 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: getting better and better. And something I really enjoy about 134 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: watching him is that he's aware that, like he is 135 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the one. Everyone's kind of voting for him because they 136 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: like his energy, because he's a nice guy, because he's funny, 137 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: and he's got a great attitude. But he's not the 138 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: best dancer. He's not the youngest guy there, he's not 139 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: the fittest guy there. But you know, that can only 140 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: take you so far, like having a great personality can 141 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: only get you so far. And he's really putting in 142 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: the work. He is enjoying dancing and he wants to 143 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: be better, and you can see that. And this week especially, 144 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: I was looking you know, now, I'm a pro myself, 145 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: but I've been watching more intently and with a bit 146 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: more knowledge of how the mechanics of this work, of 147 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: these dances, and I'm looking for andy like I'm looking 148 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: for faults there, and I'm not. I'm just seeing improving. 149 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: He's getting so so good. Something. I was watching his 150 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: face a lot during this dance, and he stayed like 151 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: perfectly in character. You had this like spooky look on 152 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: his face the whole time, which I think which must 153 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: be hard to do, especially when you're trying to remember 154 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: these moves. I just feel like what your face looks 155 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: like is probably the last thing you're thinking of. But 156 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: he really stayed locked in. And when the judges were 157 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: giving their their judgments, when they're laying down their critiques, 158 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: Derek snapped his six paddle in half. He's not given 159 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: out any more sixes, and I'm just gonna skim here 160 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. He does not give a six for 161 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: the rest of the of the night, and so I 162 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: guess he doesn't need that paddle. He could have just 163 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: destroyed it. I know they've got spares, but that was 164 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: a pretty dramatic thing to do. But Andy and Emma 165 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: did a great job. They got straight sevens across the 166 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: board from Carrie and Derek Bruno and our guest host 167 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: Cheryl Burke, and really it was a great dance. I 168 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: really enjoyed this. I enjoyed it so much. They go 169 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: to a commercial break and when they come back, so 170 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: in between the dances, obviously we see the troops. The 171 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 1: troop dance to other songs is like kind of a 172 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: little interludes. It's kind of fun to watch. My wife 173 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: and I have taken a calling this part the Talent 174 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: Show where you get to see the other pros that 175 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: have not yet been named or you know that we 176 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: don't know specifically, dancing these fun little numbers. And when 177 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: we come back from this commercial break, it's Jan and 178 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: Jenna Johnson. Jan Robinnick and Jenna Johnson dancing to canceled 179 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: by Taylor Swift, a track from her new album The 180 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: Life of a Showgirl. One of my least favorite songs 181 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: on the album. I really hate this song, but it 182 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: was fun to watch because, as you know, Jan was 183 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: one of Taylor's backup dancers on the Airs tour. So 184 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: as much as I disliked this song, I really enjoyed 185 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: watching this little talent show. That was a blast. Now 186 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: we're moving on to Elaine Hendrix and Alan Burston, And 187 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: as we talked about at the beginning of the episode, 188 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: Elaine is injured. Elaine got her during the rehearsals earlier 189 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: in the day on the ballroom floor, so she was 190 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: at the hospital getting checked out and recovering. And you 191 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: can tell by they have and or Allan on stage 192 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: talking with Alfonso about what's going on and how they're 193 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: going to do the dance, and Alan looks so sad 194 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: and you can tell he's really hurting for Elaine, and 195 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: we are, so we're so saddened at home to know 196 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: that she was injured, especially after such a great dance 197 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: last week. So I was I'm watching this and I'm like, 198 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: how are they going to do this? Like, because there's 199 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: still a competition here, and they're not just going to 200 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: eliminate her because she got hurt, Like that's not really 201 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: her fault. How are they going to do this. They 202 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: must have a protocol in place, and they do. They do. 203 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: So they're saying they're going to show the video from 204 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: her last full rehearsal, the last one she did before 205 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: she got injured, not the one where she gets injured 206 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: in the middle of it. We're going to show the 207 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: last full dance, which was done earlier in the day, 208 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: and that is what the judges are going to judge. 209 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: They danced in Argentine tango to Bad to the Bone. 210 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: We love that song, and it was it was cool 211 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: to see how the rehearsals work. It was really fun 212 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: seeing them do the dance on the dance floor with 213 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: the cameras and the you know, all the effects and everything. 214 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: But they're not in their costumes, they're not in full wardrobe. 215 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: They're in there like workout gear. So that I enjoyed that. 216 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: I thought it was a fun peek behind the curtain, 217 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: and like it's kind of fun seeing in the audience. 218 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: There's like there's like just employees there, like crew, there's 219 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: just like guys like me just sitting down there, like, 220 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: look the clipboards and stuff, and that was I just 221 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: enjoyed that as a as a kind of another look 222 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: at how the show works. But it was a great dance. 223 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: They did a great job and straight eight's across the board, 224 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: so much love from the judges. Cheryl said that she's 225 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: a huge fan, and she said that they have been 226 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Elaine and Allen have been getting dangerously and offensively underscored, 227 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: and I kind of have to agree. I've really enjoyed 228 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: Elaine myself and a great great job on this one, 229 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: even though it was done in an unconventional way. Before 230 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: we move on to Daniel Fischel and Pasha Pashkav, I 231 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: just I gotta do this, you guys. I am compelled. 232 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: The Halloween spirit is moving me. I am just moved 233 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: and compelled. To take a break. We'll be right back. 234 00:13:49,679 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: It's misstepping, hey, it's misstepping. My name is east In Alan, 235 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: that's my first and last name. I'm here filling in 236 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: for Tory. We usually do this together. I'm doing it 237 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: by myself and that's okay. I'm just sitting here alone 238 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: in my room, just screaming into a microphone about how 239 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: much we've enjoyed Dancing with the Stars. Season thirty four, 240 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: Episode seven, Week seven. It's Halloween night, and just before 241 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: we hear those lovely commercials, I did what's called a 242 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: tease that we're going to be talking about Daniel Fishal 243 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: and Pasha pashkof Friends of Ours, members of the iHeartRadio 244 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: podcast Family. So Danielle explained in the rehearsal package that 245 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: she has She's got a crazy idea for this dance. 246 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: She's going high concept here. She wants to do this 247 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: story that reveals halfway through the dance that she is dead, 248 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: that she had been murdered. They're going to dance a 249 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: Viennese waltz to Die with a Smile, a current top 250 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: forty hit by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, a Grammy 251 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: winning song. Great song, by the way, and I really 252 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: loved the makeup and the costumes that they had for 253 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: this dance. Daniel had these like blood tears that looked 254 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: so cool. The acting in this dance I thought was 255 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: just incredible. They really told a story so effectively through 256 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: these dance moves. Their timing was completely on point. They 257 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: did such a good job. I really thought they did great, 258 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: and I thought they were so underscored on this. I 259 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: think they deserved at least more nines, if not a 260 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: couple tens in there. I thought they did such a 261 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: fantastic job on this dance. Daniel's showing so much improvement. 262 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: Carrie Anne coming in hot, I really think something's going 263 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: on there. She said she had mixed emotions about the performance, okay, whatever. 264 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: And Cheryl. I think Cheryl also is on all these judgments. 265 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: She is really she's not playing softball here. She wants 266 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: everyone to know she came to be a judge, she 267 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: is a guest judge this week, and she is not 268 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: taking it easy. And she did not on Danielle and Pasha. 269 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: But it was a great, great dance, and I'm excited 270 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: to see more from them, and I really hope they 271 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: move on. I'm afraid though. I'm afraid for Danielle. I 272 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: think the competition isn't getting so fierce as we narrow 273 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: it down here, moving on through the weeks. A top 274 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: contender for this competition Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson dancing 275 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: in Argentine Tango to Sweet Dreams Are Made of This 276 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: by the Eurhythmics made famous by the Rhythmics. The rehearsal 277 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: package showed how tough it can be to be the 278 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: leading man, and that's something that I know a lot 279 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: of the guys on this show are struggling, with Robert included, 280 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,119 Speaker 1: but he's so talented and he's got so much natural ability. 281 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: This dance that they that they do here, there's so 282 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: much technical precision and musicality in this, Like those terms 283 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: that I'm pulling out really impressive, Just such a great dance. 284 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: They did this awesome flip. I love a flip. They 285 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: did a great job there. And Robert did this thing 286 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: with his legs that I really loved that looked like 287 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: they kind of looked like a ticking clock, Like it 288 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: was like a grandfather clocks, like they were swinging back 289 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: and forth while he was kind of crouched there. It 290 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: was so cool. And then he gets pulled into the garage. 291 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: It's a part of the set that Tory filled me 292 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: in on. There's a part called the garage. It's like 293 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: this boxy thing. He gets pulled in by the backup 294 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: dancers covered in blood, just completely covered in blood. Crazy, 295 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: so much makeup at work here, and the thing. I 296 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: couldn't stop laughing at it. I thought it was so funny. 297 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: When he's back and he and Whitney are getting their 298 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: feedback from the judges, Roberts just drenched in blood. He's 299 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: like completely red and it's just dripping off of him, 300 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: and he's like looking at the judges with this like 301 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: kind of serious intent look on his face to show 302 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: that he's like listening to their critiques and taking their 303 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: tips and their criticisms to heart. But he's like just 304 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: covered in makeup and blood. It just looked very funny 305 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: to me. But I really enjoyed it, and they got 306 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: crazy high scores, you know, at ten from carry In 307 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: and ten from Bruno, and then nine is from Cheryl 308 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: and Derek Man. I keep switching on who I think 309 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: is gonna win it, but it's at this point I 310 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: think it's between him and Whitney led it. I really do. 311 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: He's just in such an incredible dancer. He's doing such 312 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: a good job, and he's putting so much work into 313 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: these rehearsals. I'm so blown away by him, as is 314 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: the rest of America. Clearly we're moving on here. On 315 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: Halloween Night on Dancing with the Stars, too, Jen Affleck 316 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: and Jan Rovnick. These are my least favorite. Okay, I'm 317 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: not gonna hide it here. I'm not a fan. I'm 318 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: not a fan of Jen. Jan has always rubbed me 319 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: the wrong way. I know Carrie Anner really has it 320 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: out for him too, but he's always kind of given 321 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: me the ick. As it were. They danced a contemporary 322 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: to Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift 323 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: and in case you forgot, Jan was a dancer on 324 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: the Airs tour. They do not want us to forget that, 325 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: and neither does he. Look What You Made Me Do 326 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: is a great song. I watched you know this dance. 327 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: I'm trying not to, you know, be too harsh. I 328 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: just thought it was fine. I thought it was okay. 329 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: Just felt more like a showcase for you on than 330 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: anything else. He looked great. Jen was okay. Her snake 331 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: eye contact lenses were great. Everyone's wearing the colored contacts tonight, 332 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: but she had different ones. She had snake eyes, like 333 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: the kind of you know, like a cat or something 334 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: as reptile eye contacts. I thought they were really cool. 335 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: It's it's very funny because Derek keeps getting cut off 336 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: when he's giving his like judgments and he's getting pissed 337 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: about it. He does not like get hearing the music 338 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: and reading out of time. I'm not sure we're kind 339 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: of signals are sending the judges when they're talking, but 340 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: like Drek's clearly getting the like you do not have 341 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: a lot of time to talk. But Carrie Anne said 342 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 1: that the beginning of the dance was off the charts, 343 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: but inconsistency in the performance, and Cheryl advised them that 344 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: they need to work on their connection. Yeah, my least 345 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: favorite so far, I'd have to say sorry, Jen and 346 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: Jan Next up, Alex Earl and Valishchmerkovsky another just crazy contender. 347 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: They're operating at such a high level and in the 348 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: rehearsal package we see Alex wants Val to push her. 349 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: She wants to go harder, she wants she does not 350 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: want him to take it easy on these rehearsals and 351 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: she's getting she's getting full Val. They kept calling it 352 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: vintage Val. And I'm not a long time watcher of 353 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: this show. I'm sorry to say that I'm very new 354 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: to this, but apparently this is how he used to 355 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: be as a dancer and with his star he would 356 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: push them a lot harder. He has softened over time. 357 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: Alex does not want that. She wants to get pushed this. 358 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: This dance was so cool. They danced to Tango to 359 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: Bury a Friend by Billie Eilish. They climbed out of 360 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: the ground. I thought this was rare. They started buried 361 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: just as the song says, and they like climbed out 362 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: of their of their shallow grave. It was so awesome Alex. 363 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: I saw great framing from her. She kept her shoulders high, 364 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: she kept her arms high. She she's got the great 365 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: tango pose there. I think she's doing a great job 366 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: remembering those fundamentals and she's really kicking it into gear. 367 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: This is a fantastic dance. However, I mean, I'm not 368 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: a tango expert here, but Cheryl Burke is, and she 369 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: wants to remind everybody that there are rules when it 370 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: comes to tango. And Alex broke the hold with with 371 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: val and that is not okay. But high score almost 372 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: straight tens. Cheryl is the only one who did not 373 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: give them a ten. I believe this is the highest 374 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: score of the entire season so far. Very cool to 375 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: see Dylan Efron and Daniella Catash are next. I love 376 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: seeing her last name and now I feel more confident 377 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: saying it. So I saw earlier in this week on Instagram, 378 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: as I'm apt to do scrolling on the Insta, I 379 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: saw that Dylan had gotten injured during the rehearsal Daniella 380 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: broke his nose. He needed to go to the er, 381 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering how that's going to affect their dancing. 382 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: In the pre show package. In the rehearsal package, Dylan 383 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: shows off his love of romance, fantasy, romantic as they 384 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: call it, an audio books, so I'm wondering what kind 385 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: of spicy stories he gets up to. But he's bringing 386 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: that passion a live through their dance. They danced to 387 00:22:54,359 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: Vienna's Waltz. Who can't help falling in love? And he's 388 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: another one. There's just so much improvement here. He just 389 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: gets better and better. He is a very attractive man. 390 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: He's very fun to watch, and he could get by 391 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: on just that. I think he could do really low 392 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: stakes dances and just because he's so fun to watch, 393 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: he could probably get still get high scores. But he's 394 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: really kicking it up a notch here. And something my 395 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: wife pointed out that I thought it was funny is 396 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: that in their dance, Danielle is wearing a blindfold. She's 397 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: blindfolded through this, and my wife pointed out that Dylan 398 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: is so brave to dance with a blindfolded Danielle after 399 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: getting elbowed in the nose and breaking or close to 400 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: breaking his nose during their rehearsals. He is a very 401 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: brave man. She does ditch the blindfold about halfway through. 402 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: But they have great chemistry as dancers. They are very 403 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: fun to watch. I really love Danielle and Dylan. They're 404 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: so great and they got great scores from the judges. 405 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: And during the at the end of their dance, they 406 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: revealed that Dylan won Sexiest Tattoos in the People magazine 407 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: poll for Sexiest Man Alive, and Derek won Sexiest forty 408 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: year Old. And he said when he was nominated for 409 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: Sexiest Man Alive, he made some claim that if he won, 410 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: he would shave his head, and Alfonso tried to call 411 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: him on it. I don't know if it's gonna happen. 412 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: I think he was saying, if I win Sexiest Man Alive, 413 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: I'll shave my head, not Sexiest forty year Old, which 414 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: is a sub category. But Derek is a very sexy 415 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: four year old, so congratulations to him. And Cheryl called 416 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: them the most improved couple of the season, and I 417 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: would give that to Andy personally, but they there is 418 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: a lot of improvement. Dylan is operating at such a 419 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: high level now, he's doing a great job. And that 420 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: is our final couple dance of the but we move 421 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: on to a group competition, the Monster Thon. When I 422 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: saw this was happening, I'm gonna go. I started looking 423 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: at my chomps. I was like, oh my god, here 424 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: it comes, Here comes my beloved monster Mash. I got 425 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: so excited, but I was quickly disappointed. And I'm going 426 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: to tell you why. Right after these words stick around. 427 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: We're back. It is misstepping. My name is Easton Allen. 428 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: We were talking about Halloween night on Dancing with the 429 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: Star Season thirty four. It's week seven. We're at the 430 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: final competition. Okay, this is the Monster Thon. This is 431 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: an endurance competition, okay, And there's a lot of rules here. 432 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: I was having a hard time keeping track. It's like 433 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: they have they have to stay in a square and 434 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: do a choreographed dance. But then the squares go away. 435 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: They can dance all over the floor, but they have 436 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: to be mindful of the other dancers and the judges 437 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 1: will decide who gets eliminated. As the competition goes on, 438 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: they have to dance straight through for four minutes, NonStop, uninterrupted, 439 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: and whoever makes it to the end gets extra points. 440 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: I think this is funds adds another fun element to 441 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: the competition. But my favorite part was that the Grim 442 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: Reaper was the one to tap the couples on the 443 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: shoulder that they had been eliminated. I thought that was 444 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: very fun to see the Grimm read through with their 445 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: scythe grabbing couples off the dance floor that were chosen 446 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: by the judges to go away. And it was fun 447 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: because we had as this happens, we see the we 448 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: see like the picture and picture in the corner of 449 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: the judges deliberating. They're all standing huddled around a stack 450 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: of paddles with a couple's names on him, and it 451 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: was fun seeing them kind of, you know, argue about 452 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: who who was going to get eliminated. As the show 453 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: went on, they danced the Hustle and the Lindy Hop 454 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: to Murder on the Dance Floor by Sophie Allis Bexter, 455 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: made famous by the movie Saltburn and ended up on 456 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: the charts a couple of years ago. And also we 457 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: got a Little Party, Never Killed Nobody by Fergie Goon 458 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: Rock and Q Tip respectively, and the elimination ended up 459 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: going to Whitney and Mark. They won the whole challenge. 460 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: They got an extra five points to their score. So 461 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: now this brings us to the elimination round. Someone's got 462 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: to go home, Someone's got to go It's so sad, 463 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: but it has to happen. And as this competition moves on, 464 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: the herd is going to be more thin and some 465 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: of our favorites might have to say goodbye. This was 466 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: really stressful to watch. I was very happy that my 467 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: beloved Daniel Fischl got saved pretty early on in this 468 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: part of the of the elimination. But something I thought 469 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: was very interesting. We get to the bottom three, and 470 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to call it the bottom three just because 471 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: it makes sense, but it's not the real bottom three 472 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: that Alfonso explains. When we have the final three couples, 473 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: there not necessarily the lowest scored one of these couples 474 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: was the lowest scored of the combination of judges scores 475 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: and the voting from the fans. But the other two 476 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: couples were not. And this is just kind of an 477 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: arbitrary choice, I guess, or dramatic choice of how to 478 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: choose these last three couples before we announced who is 479 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: going home. Among these are jen Affleck and Yon Rovnick, 480 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: Elaine Hendrix who is recovering in the hospital, and Alan 481 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: Burston staying there by himself. And Whitney Levitt and Mark 482 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: ballas one of the highest scoring couples of the entire season. 483 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: Why are they there, you ask, why? Why are they 484 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: in the bottom three? There? There's no way they got 485 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: no fan votes. We saw the judges' scores. They got 486 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: highest scores. Here's why everybody. Maybe you know about this, 487 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: maybe you don't, but I I was entertained by this 488 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: this week. Whitney and Mark on social media a couple 489 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: days ago, we're doing a They wanted to do a 490 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: giveaway to get tickets to come to the screening of 491 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. They were going to give away 492 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: a pair of tickets. I don't I wasn't there quick 493 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: enough to see how they were going to give it 494 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: away if it was like a follow us and we'll 495 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: choose somebody, or if you vote for us or something 496 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: like that. They quickly took it down and put up 497 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: another post apologizing, saying they were told they cannot give 498 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: away tickets in an email. They were told this is 499 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: not okay to do, and a lot of fans in 500 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: the comments were speculating that they were going to be 501 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: punished for this, for this giveaway, and some fans were 502 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: saying like this felt like a bribe to get votes. 503 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but definitely kind of a 504 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: shady thing to do. And they being in the bottom 505 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: three on here and being teased with you are going 506 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: to be eliminated. I think that was deliberate by the 507 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: producers of the show. They want to prove to them, hey, 508 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: you can't just give away tickets on your Instagram. This 509 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: are on your TikTok. We're in charge here. You're gonna 510 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: be up there sweating with another Mormon housewife or Mormon 511 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: wife and and the woman that's in the hospital right now. 512 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: But then we see the final elimination. It is not 513 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: Whitney and Mark No, no, no, it is Jen afflecking 514 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: Jan Robnick they are going home. They have been eliminated. 515 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was very happy with this. I was 516 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: happy every week. I think it's going to be andy. 517 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm afraid, you know, and I know that's got to 518 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: come eventually, just because of how these things go, but 519 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to stick around a little bit longer. I'm 520 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: really enjoying seeing him and I'm enjoying seeing him improve Jen. 521 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: I've just been so unimpressed with her dancing the last 522 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and he has always rubbed me the 523 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: wrong way. I know this is his first season. I've 524 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: gotten bad vibes from this guy the entire time, So 525 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: I am not shedding any tears for this elimination. I 526 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: am very happy with it. Actually, next week is Rock 527 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: and Roll Hall of Fame Week. Very excited about that. 528 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna see performances from Chicago from Cool in the Gang. 529 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a lot of fun.
