I 25 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: really felt a lot of pressure for tonight's dance last week, 26 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: felt like getting that feedback, specifically from Carrie Anne that 27 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: she thought our dances looked the same, and I totally 28 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: knew what she meant, and I really wanted to have 29 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: exactly what she called tonight, which was my breakthrough dance 30 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: and my breakthrough night. I really wanted to have a 31 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: breakthrough week, and I knew that we were getting to 32 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: the point in the competition where if I didn't have one, 33 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: it was possible, it was just never going to happen. 34 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: And I knew it was possible, Like I knew it 35 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: was possible. I knew I could do it. I knew 36 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: I had it in me. I knew Pasha was capable of, 37 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, doing some fantastic choreography to a number that 38 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: would really help me feel like I had a total breakthrough. 39 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: And so I just really wanted it to be this week, 40 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and I felt a lot of pressure for it to 41 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: be this week. And when I saw Pasha's choreography and 42 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: I saw all the lifts, and I was like, I've 43 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: never done anything like this before. Nobody has ever picked 44 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: me up other than being, you know, a five foot 45 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: one woman who people sometimes will hug and then pick up. 46 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, any want to be picked up? 47 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: I have never done lifts like that. Like, I didn't 48 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: know what to expect. I didn't know what my role 49 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: in it was supposed to be, Like, how do I 50 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: help you? Help you help me? How do I do that? 51 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know. And I felt at the very beginning 52 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: of the week like I was just a sack of 53 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: potatoes and it was. None of the moves were looking good, 54 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: none of the lifts were looking great and truly full. 55 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: Two days into rehearsing the routine and I was like, 56 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: this doesn't look good. I'm not sure we have a 57 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: dance here. Pasha never gave up on me. He never 58 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: felt like there was something we couldn't do. He just 59 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: kept challenging me, and every day a new body part hurt. 60 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: I have like some very sore ribs and some sore 61 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: skin around my ribs from where he was, you know, 62 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: having to grip me for. 63 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: All of the lifts. 64 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: They realized very quickly that lifts, as much as they 65 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: are on the man to actually pick you up, so 66 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: much of a lift is actually in the woman and 67 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: being able to have your shoulders down and your lats 68 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: engaged and your chest engaged. And when you do that 69 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: and your one solid piece, it makes it significantly easier 70 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: for them to pick you up and move you instead 71 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: of being like a bunch of individual body parts. 72 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: That requires a lot of strength. 73 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: And I told Jensen, my husband, on one of the 74 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: first days of this new week, I said, imagine that 75 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: feeling when you've gone to the gym or you've done 76 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: a really hard workout and one or two parts of 77 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: your body are just incredibly sore, like fatigued to one 78 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: hundred percent you have maxed them out. Then normally, if 79 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: you are just working out for health and wellness, you 80 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: move on to other body parts. Don't go back to 81 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: those same body parts. You don't do biceps on Wednesday 82 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: and then biceps on Thursday and then biceps on Friday. 83 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: You do in dance like we're doing these same moves 84 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: over and over again, seven days a week. So whatever 85 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: little sore spots you have, whether it's your ribs or 86 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: it's your hamstrings, or it's your neck or your shoulder. 87 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: Guess what. 88 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: You get a night's rest and you get to take 89 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: some advil and you get to go to sleep and 90 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: maybe take an ep, some saltpath, maybe do a cold plunge. 91 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: But tomorrow you are back at it, hitting that body 92 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: part again with those same exact moves for four plus hours. 93 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: It is just I did not realize how much I 94 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: did not recognize what dancers put their bodies through. 95 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 2: It is a lot. 96 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: And we had our share of struggles this week. Pasha's 97 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: his hamstrings were bothering him. We had the quick step 98 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: in the jive the two weeks prior to that, so 99 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: both of us were doing lots of little flicks and 100 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 1: kicks and la of runs, and then we have this stance, 101 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: which is, you know, he's doing a lot of lyfts, 102 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: so he's in a lot of squats, He's doing a 103 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: lot of squats, and everything was, everything was hurting, And 104 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: there was at one point on I think it was Sunday, 105 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: we went to do the routine full out one hundred 106 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: percent and my left peck muscle hurts so bad that 107 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: I had to stop, and I said, We're going to 108 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: have to be really strategic here, because right. 109 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: Now I'm in so much pain. 110 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: The thought of trying to do that move again is 111 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: making me shake, Like I'm so scared to feel the 112 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: pain that I'm going to feel. And I don't want 113 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: to do this because it's Sunday, and like I could 114 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: what if I really hurt myself right now and then 115 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: Monday camera blocking, I can't do it, or even worse, 116 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: Tuesday show day, I can't do it. And so Pasha said, 117 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: you're right, we need to be smart about this. 118 00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: Stop. 119 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Let's stop doing all the tricks. Let's not worry about 120 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: the tricks for the rest of the night. Let's just 121 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: clean and focus on everything that isn't a lyft. 122 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: Let's do the whole. 123 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: Routine top to bottoms, marking as much as you can 124 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: the lifts, and focus on everything else. And so we 125 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: spent the next like hour and a half just doing that, 126 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: and I actually took a leave during that time. It 127 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: took an hour to an hour and a half off 128 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: and by the time we got to that hour and 129 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: a half, I said, what time is it? And he said, 130 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: it's about eight thirty PM, and our rehearsal was over 131 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: at nine and I said, I think I feel okay 132 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: to try one all the way through with the tricks, 133 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: I think, and he said already sure, and I was like. 134 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: I did some stretches and I was like, yeah, I 135 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: feel significantly better. My anxiety about the end, like about 136 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: hurting myself, is now gone. And when I touched the muscle, 137 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: I feel okay, let's try it. 138 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: And we were able to do it. 139 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: It was really good. We felt super confident about it 140 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: all of that time. That hour hour and a half 141 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: time we spent focusing on the stuff that wasn't the 142 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: lifts did not go to waste. The dance looked so 143 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: great after that one. We still had some things we 144 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: needed to fix, of course, but at least at nine 145 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: pm when we finished, we had done it top to bottom, 146 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: including the lifts, and I was really happy that we 147 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: spent all that downtime letting me heal and cleaning everything 148 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: that wasn't a lift. So anyway, this week was not 149 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: an easy week. It was especially not an easy week 150 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: for Pasha, and I'm really very very. 151 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: Proud of us. 152 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: We had our highest scores of the season last week. 153 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: We had seven seven, seven, eight, and this week. 154 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: We had four nines. 155 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: I did not go into tonight even really thinking about scores. 156 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: I really just went in thinking about feedback and like 157 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: what I wanted the feedback to be. And the one 158 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: thing that I feel like I really kept saying to 159 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: myself was like my goal was that I wanted someone 160 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: to say or to feel like this was a breakthrough dance, 161 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: because I had that in my mind and I had 162 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: that pressure on me all week. And so the minute 163 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: Carrie Anne said that she felt like this was a 164 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: breakthrough dance for me, I felt really very touched. And 165 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: then at the end of the night, something nobody got 166 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: to see is while we were standing on the floors 167 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: right before elimination, the judges were all standing at their tables, 168 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: and Carrie Anne looked at me and she smiled. 169 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: At me, and she said, I'm really proud of you. 170 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: And it really meant a lot, Like it really really 171 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: really meant a lot, and I just want to keep 172 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: getting better every week. So the fact that she gave 173 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: me that note last week and then recognized how hard 174 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: we worked to get to this point is like just 175 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: the most satisfying feeling when people recognize your hard work 176 00:09:52,760 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: for what it is. This week, with hair, makeup, wardrobe, 177 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: everything was a sharp departure. We had completely slicked back hair, 178 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: tight bun. 179 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. 180 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: You know they actually sew our hair into itself. This 181 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: is not an exaggeration. And there's like a hook. It 182 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: looks like a fishing hook and you put the thread 183 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: in it and they just like curve it into your 184 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: bun and then into your scalp and out and they 185 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: sew it down so that it doesn't go anywhere. That's 186 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: how I'm able to be upside down and in the 187 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: splits and swung around in the air without that hair moving. Also, 188 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: as you can tell by my glorious look here, the 189 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: hair spray they use is not quite hair spray as 190 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: much as it is glue, just straight up glue, so 191 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: your hair is basically shellacked and glued to your head. 192 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: I thought the makeup this week was just I mean, 193 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: my makeup every week is so great. My makeup artist 194 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: is a woman named Lois on the show, and she 195 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: also works on Electric Bloom. She does some of the 196 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: makeup on Electric Bloom. So that's really fun because I 197 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: know her and I work with her she's used to 198 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: seeing me as a director. I think she killed it 199 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: this week. Kimmy is who did my hair, and she 200 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: did an upside down braid. So she started with me 201 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: in the chair. I tipped my head upside down. She 202 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: braided my hair upside down. Then they put that into 203 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: a ponytail. They had separated the crown of my hair 204 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: into a bunch of little sections, and then just like 205 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: peace at a time, they comb it back and spray 206 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: it down and make sure it's super sleek. I never 207 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: wear my hair like that. I never wear all my 208 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: hair pulled back, as you guys know because you see 209 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: me all the time. But I got so many compliments 210 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: on the hair and makeup and wardrobe tonight. Daniella the 211 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: head costumer here at Dancing with the Stars, Oh my gosh, 212 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: they are so amazing, and a thought who does the tailoring? 213 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 2: Ever? 214 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: Here in Nadej who does the body makeup. It is 215 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: a full hands on effort to make us look like 216 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: we look on Dancing with the Stars. It is all 217 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: hands on deck and it's so cool and it's so 218 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: fun and the process is great. Tonight, I wore fish 219 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: nets in my dance. Fish Nets were a last literally 220 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: a last second edition. I was going to be bare legged. 221 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: And then we did our dress rehearsal and Danny suggested 222 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: to Pasha that I wear fish nets. And also I 223 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: got a suggestion of fish nets from an executive on 224 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: the show, and the executive said, would you be open 225 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: to trying it for the dress rehearsal and I said, yeah, 226 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: why not, I'd love it. And so we put on 227 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: the fish nets that have like the seam down the back, 228 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: and it just really added to the whole look. And 229 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: I knew after then watching the dress rehearsal and seeing 230 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: what it looked like, I was like, Yeah, the fish 231 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: nets were the way to go. And I asked Danny tonight, 232 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: I said, I gotta be honest, I was a little 233 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: insecure when I heard that you also suggested that I. 234 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 2: Should wear fish nets. 235 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: Did you just think that my legs didn't look good? 236 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: And she goes, no, I know from myself that if 237 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: I'm having to do a lot of lifts and splits 238 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: and i feel like I'm showing too much skin, I 239 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: will hold back. And she said, and I didn't want 240 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: you to be holding anything back tonight, And She's right. 241 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it. But after I put 242 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: the fish nets on, I just felt more contained and 243 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: confident in what I was wearing, and I didn't feel 244 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: like I had to be concerned about any of the 245 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: tricks we were doing. 246 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: So that was really great. I will say that. 247 00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: During dress rehearsal, my nose in that last trick came millimeters. 248 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: Away from the ballroom floor. 249 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: There was something about the momentum that we did during 250 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: dress rehearsal of the spin where I was up in 251 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: the air above, you know, on Pasha's shoulder, and he's 252 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: spinning around and. 253 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: He had all that momentum. He didn't slow down at all. 254 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: He went from full momentum to just rolling me forward 255 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: down toward my nose, and he did not have a 256 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: great grip on me. And I saw my life flash 257 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: before my eyes as the hardwood floor came, I'm not 258 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: kidding you, this close to my face. And at the 259 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: very last second when I was like, oh, I'm still 260 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: moving in my head because we've been practicing this move 261 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: all week and normally there's like a very hard stop, 262 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: and today I was like. 263 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, Oh my gosh, I'm still getting closed to 264 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: the book. 265 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: Then the floor was like right here, at the very 266 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: last second, I put my hand down like this, and 267 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: then I realized I wasn't moving anymore so and then I 268 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: went back into position. And afterward Pashua I was like, 269 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: what happened? And Pasha was like, I'm sorry. Your back 270 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: wasn't as much to me as it needed to be 271 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: and I barely had a grip on you. And he's like, 272 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: but I promise you I will not drop you. So 273 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: no matter what happens tonight during the live show, do 274 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: not put your hands down, stick your landing, and I 275 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: will not drop you. And I said, I know you 276 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: won't drop me. I completely trust you. And he said, good, 277 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: worst case scenario, I'll pay for your nose job. And 278 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: I was like, well, nothing has filled me with more 279 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: confidence than that. So we got out there and we 280 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: did it. I'm really happy. I haven't been able to 281 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: read any comments, I haven't been able to watch to 282 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: watch our dance. 283 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: I don't even know what it looked like. I know 284 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: what it felt like. 285 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: I can tell you I have never felt more present 286 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: in my body than I did tonight. I would say 287 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: tonight is the first time I actually felt like a dancer, 288 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: like I really felt like a dance tonight. I felt 289 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: like a dancer who knew what she was doing and 290 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: who was in a place that I was supposed to be. 291 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: And that was very exciting and it was thrilling and 292 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: makes me just want to be even better week after 293 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: week after week. Having John m Two there Wicked, the 294 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: director of Wicked and Crazy Rich Asians. 295 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: I'm such a fan of his as a director. He 296 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: was so nice. I thought his. 297 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: Commentary and his critiques were so smart. His one of 298 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: his first comments being about transitions, and I was like, 299 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like, yes, he really knows what he's 300 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: talking about. That's super exciting. He's really smart. He was 301 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: really great guest judge. I thought he gave he tied 302 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: in the storyline of the movie really well into his critiques. 303 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: I just thought he added so much. 304 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: I really think tonight, as the themes go, you could 305 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: tell how excited everyone was for the Wicked theme. You 306 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: could tell that people from the moment they knew that 307 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: this was on the menu for a list of things 308 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: to do, people were thinking like, Oh, I just really 309 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: want to make it to Wicked night. I thought all 310 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: the dances were amazing. I thought everybody really leveled up. 311 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: I didn't get to see a ton of other dances 312 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: this week before leading up to ours. I had seen 313 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: bits and pieces of Ezra and Jordan's, which I knew 314 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: was great, and I'm so happy that they got tends tonight. 315 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: Jordan just really killed that rumba, and I know how 316 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: hard that dance is, and I know that she was 317 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: feeling nervous about that dance, and she and Ezra just 318 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: knocked it out of the park, and so I'm really 319 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: happy for them. I saw Robert's dance right before I 320 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: saw it during dress rehearsal, and then I saw him 321 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 1: right before we went out, and I said, how are 322 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: you feeling about tonight? 323 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 2: And he said, you know, I'm really nervous. I said more. 324 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: Nervous tonight, and He's like, yeah, I'm more nervous tonight 325 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: than usual. And I said why, what is it? And 326 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: he said, I just I'm not used to dealing with props. 327 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: And I said, but you did it so well. It 328 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: looked so seamless, and I knew that he was nervous 329 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: specifically about those props. So when John said it is 330 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: not easy for actors to work with props, they can 331 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: get lost in them. I know that note meant so 332 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: much to Robert because he had been nervous about it 333 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: and he'd been working on it so much. So I'm 334 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: really proud of him. He just did such a phenomenal job. 335 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: Of course, my alliance partner, Dylan and Danny, I thought 336 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: they did a fantastic, fantastic job tonight. I know somebody, 337 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: I think maybe Carrie Anne mentioned that Dylan's foot had 338 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: gotten a little stuck, and then sure enough, when Dylan 339 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: came off the dance water, he was like, yeah. 340 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: My foot got a little stuck over there. 341 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: But I thought that dance was beautiful. Apparently a rumba 342 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: is very very hard. I don't know if we're even 343 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: gonna I don't even know if we get to do 344 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: it this season, but apparently it's a very hard dance. 345 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: But I thought the two of them tonight, both of 346 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: them were incredible rumbas. Ah Man, the elimination part of 347 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: the night, the part where we all lined up on 348 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: the dance floor, and I looked at Pasha and I said, man, 349 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: this part sucks. 350 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 2: It just you know all night. 351 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: Somehow you're really able to kind of put the fact 352 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: that there was an elimination behind you. Because I'm only 353 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: gonna speak for myself, I'm assuming it's the same for everybody, 354 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: But I cannot believe how in the moment I am 355 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: watching everybody else dance, I'm so excited genuinely to see 356 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: what they have been working on all week, because I 357 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: know now firsthand how hard what our days are like, 358 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: and how so little time we have for anything else, 359 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: for our families, for any sort of social life. 360 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 2: There's just there's very little. 361 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: Time, and I know how difficult it is. And so 362 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: then to watch my friends, my new friends, completely come 363 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: to life in the most beautiful ballroom with incredible sets 364 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: and pyrotechnics and these incredible professional dancers. Can we talk 365 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: about Troop for a second. Can we talk about Hayley 366 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: and Anne and Jackson and Carter. I. I am mesmerized 367 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: by each and every one of them. Every week they 368 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: come out and they are pouring their souls out on 369 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: the dance floor. And here's a little BTS thing. We 370 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: have to film a wide which is like our full 371 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: dance from beginning to end, one hundred percent by Thursday. 372 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: The week starts on Wednesday, so within forty eight hours 373 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: they want us to be at a one hundred percent 374 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: both performance and the steps and the dance, so that 375 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: the director can start fill the director of Dancing with 376 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: the Stars can start working on his shots and figuring 377 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: out how he's going to shoot every person's dance. A 378 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: lot of times the celebrities are not at one hundred percent. 379 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: Forty eight hours later, we're just not. We may know 380 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: some of the steps, but we can't perform all of them, 381 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: and you don't get a lot of opportunities. You don't 382 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: get to shoot your wide a bunch of times. You 383 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: really need to be able to. 384 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 2: Pretty much maybe two times max. 385 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: Be able to go beginning to end on your first 386 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: or second take, and that's pretty much it. So because 387 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: of that, because I may not be ready to shoot 388 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: my wide, Pasha will say I'm going to go teach 389 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: the dance to Anye or I'm going to go teach 390 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: the dance to Haley, and then they're going to record 391 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: a wide for the director, and then I just get 392 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: to go back into my rehearsal. When I tell you, 393 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: it takes them like thirty minutes to learn the entire routine, 394 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: to learn the entire dance, and then I get to 395 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: have that video on my phone and I just get 396 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: to watch them and they're beautiful dancer bodies and the 397 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: things that they do, and I get to go. 398 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 2: Oh, I should be doing more of that. 399 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: I have learned so much from all these pros and 400 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: this troop. I just can't say enough wonderful things about them. 401 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: They are incredible and I just am so inspired by 402 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: them every week. I think they're one of the best 403 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: troops I've ever seen. For me, in the audience tonight, 404 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: I had my husband, of course, Jensen, there to support me. 405 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: I also had my long time hairdresser Lori Heaps and 406 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: my longtime makeup artist Julie Cuomo in the audience for me. 407 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: And then I had some of my parent friends, some 408 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: friends of ours that we know because our kids are 409 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: friends and our friendship has now transcended the kid relationships. 410 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: They're just people that I love and adore. So Daniel 411 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: and Erica were there, my friends Michelle and Poria were there. 412 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: And then I know that in order to win a 413 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: championship myself, I must be surrounded by champions, So I 414 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: invited my friend WWE legend Charlotte Flair to come and 415 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: visit me in the ballroom and she came tonight and 416 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: she had a really good time, and I, boy, I 417 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: tell you, I think she would be pretty darn incredible 418 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: on Dancing with the Stars. Trying to think should probably 419 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: be Really, she'd be great paired with Brandon. Brandon's tall, 420 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: he's super strong. I think Brandon and Charlotte would make 421 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: an incredible pair. I really love Charlotte. I think she's 422 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: so smart, she's really vulnerable. She wrote an article about 423 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: her life and her brother and her dad and her 424 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: own wrestling legacy and career recently that was very touching 425 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: and very moving to me, and I reached out to 426 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: her to tell her how special I thought it was, 427 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: and it sparked up a friendship in us and we 428 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: started communicating back and forth. And so this week I thought, 429 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: I wonder if she happens to be in town, and 430 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: it turns out she was. So she came tonight and 431 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: it really meant a lot to have her there, and 432 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: I think she had a lot of fun, which means 433 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: a lot. So the jewelry I'm wearing this week, well, 434 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: I was supposed to be wearing some jade green beautiful 435 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,239 Speaker 1: rings from my friend Jamie at Forever Fine Jewels, but 436 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: they stayed in Jensen's backpack and I never got to 437 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: put them on. But I am wearing her ear crawler, 438 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: this mixed ear crawler that you guys have seen me 439 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: wear before. I'm also wearing. 440 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 2: The same earring I wore last week from the lou Collective, 441 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 2: which you guys know. 442 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: I decided for this week. I didn't wear a watch 443 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: during the dance because I had so many times where 444 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: I had to wrap my arm around Pasha's neck and 445 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: I didn't want like a heavy watch digging into him. 446 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: But my watch of the week, because it's so perfect 447 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: for Wicked, I broke out my personal collection Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, 448 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: lovingly known as the John Mayer one point zero. It 449 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: has an iconic green dial and a yellow gold case, 450 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: and I thought it was perfect in honor of Wicked. 451 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: So I hope there's another opportunity for me to bust 452 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: that watch out and wear it actually on the ballroom floor. 453 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: But it is the watch I chose for this Wicked week. Also, 454 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: I am wearing this ring designed by the one and 455 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: only Dolly at XO, the Biju Box XO. It is 456 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: a over two hundred year old old mine cut diamond 457 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: surrounded by over two hundred year old rose cut diamonds. 458 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: They were all taken out of a brooch she hand 459 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: forged this. She has a line called her xod so 460 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: XO Dolly so her xod line. If you can see 461 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: the detail on this, it's just absolutely stunning. Was really 462 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: excited to bust this one out.
