WEBVTT - Dancing in the Third Person (DWTS: The Next Pro 107) 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.040 Well, val, we have entered what I could only describe 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.520 as prime time for Dancing with the Stars, because I 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.480 know the big announcement about who the cast is and 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.880 therefore who their pro partners are is September twod Well, 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.440 you know, we know Whitney is with Germo, we know 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:38.320 Jackson from the Savannah Bananas, we know the people they've announced. 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.320 You have not been officially announced yet as coming back, 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.519 but let's say you were coming back. How busy of 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.080 a time is this run up to the Good Morning 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:50.960 America announcement? 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:58.440 Very busy and very exciting and not awkward. But like 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:04.160 these first meets, you know, they it's a very unnatural 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.800 speed at which they move, Right, You meet each other 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.000 on camera for the first time, and then you immediately 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.560 have to make huge decisions, Like you know, first of all, 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.120 your promo shoot is like a day later, right, So 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.360 that that's the imagery that will represent your couple for 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:25.080 the next hopefully three months and forever ever after. Right, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.039 It's like the picture that lives forever. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.800 I know. And it's so early on and it is 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.280 awkward because you have not learned any dance steps yet 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.119 as the celeb, and yet they want you to dance 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.440 all day long, dance for the camera, dancing. 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.000 Yeah, that's what the promo shoot is like, which is yes, again, 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.040 it's not even about the dance step as much as 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.959 it's like the rapport to do these dance steps together 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:51.480 for six hours in front of strangers. You got to have, 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.680 you know, you see the pros do it all the time. 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.000 But because we have rapport, we have chemistry, We know 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:01.400 each other. We besides knowing the steps, we also did 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:06.640 there's familiarity to go out and do something vulnerable as is. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.959 I have issues with pictures as is. You know, imagine 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.600 with somebody else who's relying on me to take, you know, 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:21.799 the shot that will also present the first impression to 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.000 the to the audience, you know, and you don't get 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.320 a second chance to make to make that so I 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.360 don't know. Again, a lot of times this promo shoot 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.160 goes a lot better than expected, uh huh, and sometimes 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.520 it could be quite forced with a lot of pressure. 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.799 Oh man, it's so funny you mentioned the promo shoot. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.720 I had such a great time at the promo shoot, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.079 but I also completely forgot it existed until you just 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.800 mentioned it. I was like, that's right, you literally meet 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.480 on camera. Hi, nice to meet you. There's lots of interviews, 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.560 you know, otfs, what did you think of each other? 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.399 And then you know, some protests, show me what you've got, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.400 kind of conversation on camera for them to hold a 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.400 package around, and then yes, like the next day you 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:08.480 spend twelve hours at a promo shoot wild well. At 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:09.880 the same time, answering. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:16.400 Questions, taking photos constantly in your head is like are 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.399 we having enough chemistry? Does this look appealable? Like will 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:20.320 people vote for this? 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.799 You know, do we like each other? Are we having 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.560 a good time exactly? 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.160 And then it's like, are we getting enough social media 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:34.680 content to capture this awkward magic? You know? Right? Right? So, yeah, 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.120 it's a lot, and it is hectic, and I will say, honestly, 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.080 you know, the social media aspect of it is so 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.280 fun when it's done, when you're in flow, when it's 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.640 like effortless, but it is a lot of pressure, added 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:54.040 pressure and responsibility that not everybody has that kind of 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.480 effortless ability to do. 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.240 Do you have a social media team that helps you 0:03:59.280 --> 0:03:59.840 through the season? 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:06.000 No? Wow, No, for Soul, that's yeah. I mean I 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.680 was going to say kind of bougie, but it's not 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.440 because it's such a big part of you know, everyone's 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:17.800 livelihood nowadays, just their professional opportunities also heavily rely on that. No, 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.920 I still treated like a diary. I mean, my little journal, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.360 you know, it's terrible. Yeah, and it's like two different journals. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.599 Instagram is like more a journal someone will read, and 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.640 TikTok is more of a journal. I still think I'm doing, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:32.680 you know, for. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:38.880 Myself, you're private journal right. Well. At the same time, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.520 we are in the home stretch of Dancing with the Stars. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.440 The next pro these are the semi finals, and whoever 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:51.120 survives this episode enters the finals. Big pressure all around. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.799 I'm invested. I mean, the show's been so fun to watch, 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:56.280 I agree. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.279 Yeah, and I was at the edge of my seat. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.880 This whole episod and again and you know, I contested 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.119 last week's results with Eric, but but looking at these four, 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.680 you know, I really it really did feel like a 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.680 final four that was deserving to be there. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.640 Yeah, yeah, you're right. I mean, even though we could 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.520 we could argue where people should have left, because technically 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.400 last week Nina left, the week before, the week before, 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.000 we had a problem with Eric, and we could go 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.800 like well maybe they should have you know, reversed weeks 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.560 or something. But when you look at these four, you 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.320 do not feel like while they really let the best 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.680 dancer go, you know, like you're looking these four going, yeah, 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:39.120 these four people have a real shot at being on. 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:44.640 That for different reasons. Yeah, some just are underdeveloped but 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.320 have something special. Some people have, you know, a seasoned 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.040 craftsmanship about this whole thing, and then have so many 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.520 tools in their toolbox. And some people are all of 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.760 the above and we'll see you. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.080 Yeah, if you were casting a show, you've got four 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.320 unique characters, you don't have four of the same thing, 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.160 which is great. So when you have been watching the season, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.320 are you happy you didn't have to enter this type 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.240 of reality competition in order to become a pro on 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.120 Dancing with the Stars or have you thought like, man, 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:23.120 I would have thrived in something like this A little 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:23.599 bit of both. 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:25.920 I mean, I've been employed for such a long time. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.359 I have to really look back and reflect what I 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:33.200 felt like. I mean, I was watching, I was thinking, man, 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.599 this is really hard, and yeah, within the parameters that 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.080 they have to create. Not to say that it's easy 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.640 on our show, it's not, But to answer your question. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.080 I was fortunate enough to learn on the job. That's 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.360 why I'm a huge advocate for the Troop. I think 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:54.080 it's you know, it's paid internship. There's nothing better, especially 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.680 if you want to go into that line of work. Yeah, 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:01.440 you get insight into everybody's room. That is valuable, you know. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.840 So I got casted as a pro right away, and 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.280 you know, I missed out on that, and I had 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.920 to really be observant. And obviously I knew my brother's 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.520 process because of our proximity, but I, you know, not 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.640 until those team dances that I get a chance to 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.440 see how Mark works, how Derek works, how others work. 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.920 So I think that's so valuable to be on Troop 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.200 on our show and to be in my room, Jenna's room, 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.760 everybody's room and see how they navigate from different fronts, 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.640 not just how they lead the lesson or the choreography, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.440 but also how they they you know, what kind of 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.080 frequency they keep in the room, how much tension do 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.840 they let in there versus when they know how to 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:54.200 like shift. So yeah, these guys don't have any of that. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.720 So I definitely I do feel very fortunate that I 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.320 didn't have to go through this gauntlet. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.160 It's quite a quite an undertaking. Well, here we are 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.960 to recap Dancing with the Stars the next pro Season one, 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.400 episode seven. We open with our pal Robert returning to 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.520 the dance floor and welcoming the four remaining contestants with 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:18.440 a little celebratory jive does some nice kicks. He's followed 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.840 by judges Mark and Shirley Ballas, who again no shade 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:27.520 are dressed alike again surely had a real uh puffy shirt. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.040 What was what's the shirt from Seinfeldt? You know the 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.240 yeah if I was like, wow, this is a it's 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.479 like a period period shirt renaissance. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.280 And he was also kind of rocking Prince you know, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.120 I know, an. 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.000 Undershirt exactly Prince with an undershirt. I do like it. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.800 This is now two weeks in a row. I'm starting 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.160 to think they're doing this on purpose. 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:50.720 They make a great scene, though. 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.160 Boy do they. Robert then introduces the hopefuls to this 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.680 week's guest. She's a two time Mirror Ball champion and 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.040 a judge on the Australian Dancing with the Stars and 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.080 a guest judge last season on season thirty four of 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:08.080 our American Dancing with the Stars. It's Kim Johnson. How 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.920 well do you know Kim? 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:12.400 Pretty well? 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.760 Yeah, pretty well. She was at the Dancing with the 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.640 Stars con with us, and I find her to be 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.320 lovely and incredibly talented. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.760 She is again our time overlapped a little bit on 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.240 the show. She's kind of the og that yeah, you know, 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:33.840 the founding father with my brother and the OG's like 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.840 I said, but yeah, she's wonderful. We actually went on 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:43.480 tour together in twenty sixteen. That was the Alfonso season, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.280 the one that Alfonso and Whitney won. And then on 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.920 that tour we really did bond. We got you know, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.360 on tour you get to spend a lot of time together. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.920 We were on the bus at that time. We didn't 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.920 even have the big condo bunks. It was like the 0:09:55.960 --> 0:10:01.040 three bunks. It was very close quarters. And she was 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:07.720 so lovely and such a classy individual, and you know, 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.839 we we just again we connected and she shared her 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.400 desire to meet somebody and what kind of somebody she 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.559 would like. That that's somebody to be. And literally the 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.360 next season where the promo shoots. Speaking of promo shoot, 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.240 and she's with Robert, her current husband and father of 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:30.320 her two kids. Yes, and it was exactly the person 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.600 that she described. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.199 And we looked at each other and we're like, you 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.200 manifested did this? 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.439 So fast forward ten years, you know, her life has 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.760 drastically changed, and it was fun to cross paths again 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.000 at the corn and then seeing her guest judge. I 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.400 thought she did a great job last year guest judge. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.679 She was amazing. Yeh, she was so good last season 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.880 as a guest judge. And then talking about her beautiful husband. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.560 She just had her fiftieth birthday and they he threw 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:05.439 her a huge birthday party. I thought that was very sweet. Well, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.440 Kim reveals that this week, every creative choice will be 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.640 made by them. Can they elevate to the levels needed 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.760 for Dancing with the Stars Now? For the first time, 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.680 they will be performing two full dances in just a 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.679 couple of days, which is half the time they have 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.640 on the main show. So it feels a lot like 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.600 what you've been doing for the past four months, just 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.840 learning of forty two dances every day. 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:33.719 Yeah. 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.559 Yeah, there's a lot of choreography, a lot of choreography, but. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.520 Again they're doing it with pros. It's interesting how they 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.120 made the challenge where they're like you cannot contribute to 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:48.280 any creative choices. That's the way I understood, right, because yeah, 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.880 at least in Alan and Whitney's room, she was like, yeah, great, 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.200 I know totally, yeah, let's do that. And he was 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.200 good enough, Yeah it's good, Like tell him it's not good. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.480 I know. It did seem like they didn't even want 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:09.200 to be you know, encouraged or you know, dissuaded from something. 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.600 Yeah, no, I mean again they First of all, I 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.920 love how they refer to the brief. Yeah, definitely a 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.400 brief brief. I like the brief. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.080 The brief's good. It gives you, It gives you, It 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.800 gives you an idea of exactly what it is. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:26.360 I imagine a brief case. Yeah, that opens and boom. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:43.520 There it is. That's exactly what you need to do. Well, 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.560 we learned that for the second dance of the episode, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.800 the contestants will be partnered together for one last time, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.120 but for the first dance, they will be performing with 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:57.160 real life Dancing with the Stars pros, and then Whitney, Riley, Yawn, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.720 and Gleb walk on the stage and perform an awesome 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.960 group number to Talk to Me by Robin. I loved 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:10.520 seeing them all out there, how talented of a ballroom dancer. 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.520 I know every I mean everybody you work with is 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.000 incredibly talented, but can we talk for a second about 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.760 how incredibly talented Gleb is? 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:24.000 Yeah? Yeah, no, totally, But hold on, We're not gonna 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.040 just highlight Gleb and not talk about the other three. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:33.160 They're all great, they're all wonderful, but I don't know 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.199 that I. Okay, here's where I'm thinking, Here's why I'm 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:43.120 highlighting Cleb. I feel like when Gleb is talked about 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.200 outside of on the actual Dancing with the Stars show, 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:53.520 maybe because of some personal life things, extracurricular activities that 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.000 go on, that tends to be more of the focus, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:02.360 and I feel like sometimes it gets glossed over how 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:07.960 incredibly talented he is totally and it's like watching him dance, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.240 you go, if everyone could just keep their nose out 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.440 of places that they are not supposed to be, we 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:21.680 could actually appreciate him for his talent, the way Whitney 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.240 Riley and this season hopefully Yawn is going to be 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:31.520 appreciated for their talent. I feel like Gleb sometimes maybe 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.080 gets the short end of the stick because of you know, 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.479 like you said, extracurricular activities. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.840 Yeah, I agree with you. I think Gleb is a 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.120 extraordinary dancer, probably the best on our show, one of 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.480 the best easily, you know, And it's so obvious to 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:51.440 the eye when you see it. Yeah, and it's a shame, 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.360 you know, I had that issue with in regards to 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.880 how my name is mentioned and in other ways. You know, again, 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.920 he maybe maybe he's caught some bad publicity over the 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:08.240 past couple of years, but even good publicity just you know, 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.600 not pertaining to the craft that we're trying to showcase 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:16.320 and that we invested our entire lives in mastering. Like, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.200 regardless of whether you're talking about me in a good 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.240 way or a bad way, you're not talking about the 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:25.840 thing that I'm so proud of, right, And that was 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.280 always a shame for me, Yeah, because I have so 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.960 much pride in this work, and I know he does too. 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:33.000 Yeah. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.640 But you know, in relations to Next Pro and Dancing 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.840 with the Stars in general, you wear many hats and 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.920 you have many different responsibilities, and it would be very 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.240 naive for you to think that you can just be 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:50.040 a really great dancer, right, you know, I wish the 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.040 world was like that, but you are now on a 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:59.760 bigger stage and they're a lot more Yeah, there's a 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.880 lot more eyes on you, and with that comes great responsibility. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:07.480 Maybe you didn't sign up for but you are here now, yes, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.720 And you know, I also didn't intend to be anybody's 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:15.080 role model. I feel really awkward when I even though 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.320 I love preaching. I love teaching and I love speaking 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.840 to especially young people and inspire them, motivating them, I 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.760 still feel very uncomfortable with the idea of like, what 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.240 advice do you have? You know, you have such a 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:32.760 successful this, this and that, and I'm like, I don't know. Luck, Yeah, 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.120 like a lot of luck too, you know, obviously hard 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.600 work and preparation, et cetera. Being proactive, being hard working, 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:45.440 et cetera. But there's no formula, you know. And so yeah, 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:50.000 he's a perfect example of somebody that's excellent and it 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.200 maybe not being enough. 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.800 Yeah, yep. Well, the song comes to an end and 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.480 Whitney informs the group that they will each be performing 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.680 a different Latin style with their professional partner. This will 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.000 put both their teaching and choreography skills to the test. 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.760 Earlier in the day, a drawing was held to set 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.719 partners and dance styles, and here were the results. Alan 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.639 is paired with Whitney for the jive and he knows 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.880 with a powerhouse like her as a partner, he will 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.960 need to bring his a game. Adele is paired with 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:23.560 Gleb and they get the samba. Luckily, this is Adele's 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.000 favorite dance. AJ is paired with Riley and they will 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.960 be dancing the cha cha, which leaves Selena to be 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.200 paired with one of the best humans and dancers around 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:39.159 Yan and they drew the salsa. Are there any of 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.560 those dances? I guess I will just come right out 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.359 and say, Pasha is not a giant fan of the 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.520 cha cha. I was very excited for the cha cha 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.640 and I was like, oh the cha chaw. He's it's 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.159 not that fun. It's kind of hard to make it 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.600 look great. He just doesn't like love the cha cha. 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.080 So when I saw that Aj was paired with Riley 0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.480 and they were going to be doing a cha cha, 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.760 want is he disappointed in that? 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:02.280 If you go. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.359 You might be joes? Oh no, is that a bad one? 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.840 So would you like, are there any dances there that 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.280 you would have been like? That's the one you don't 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:12.680 really want. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:17.880 Uh yes, if again with a celebrity partner respectfully. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.840 To you, then right, yeah. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:20.920 He's not excited for the chacha. 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.520 Right with me? Okay, okay, thanks. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.520 He was pretty excited for the cha cha with his 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.720 wife on tour. That was a really good jog. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:33.840 That was a great cha cha. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.280 No, I'm just joking with you. Listen, the church is 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.200 just hard on the lady. And then when when you're 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.240 a partner with a celebrity that now has to learn 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.040 how to chatcha with you know, with with no help 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.719 legs out like it's just technically it is. It's it's 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.680 a little bit more of a challenge for the lady 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.760 than salsa. Has more dividends, you know, like you could 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.160 do a lift and a jump and a trick and yes, 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:00.359 it's still hard. You still have to teach him. There's 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.720 more roi for you know, there's a small bang for 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.720 your buck you can throw and that's. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.280 What Yeah, that's what he said. He was like, compared 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.159 to a salsa that you can actually just have like 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.680 a lot of fun in. Uh we wanted to get 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.880 it out of the way early on, so but. 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.360 But would but just to give you a different perspective, 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.239 like because he doesn't have to teach Riley how to 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.800 how to dance cha cha chasha is a pretty good 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.840 dance to get because it typically musically is is a 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:33.200 is a funky you know, a beat. Uh, it's very 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.280 pop song heavy, you know, so you're going to get 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.679 a classic a lot of times or a song that 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:41.679 people love. So it is. It's thigh energy. There's a 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.800 lot of chachas that premiere on Dancing with the Stars. Okay, 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.560 you'll see a lot of it, especially in the male celebrities. 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.159 They always do very well because. 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.359 They rip off the shirt. 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:59.160 Yeah it's groove. Yeah. 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.320 Well, Robert finds them that even though they have professional partners, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.440 they will be the ones responsible for the creative decisions, 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:09.320 including the choreography, and everything will all be reported back 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:14.600 to the judges. And I cannot even imagine how hard 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:19.119 that was for Gleb, Whitney, Riley and Yon to just 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.680 have to keep your mouth shut. I can tell you, 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.200 I cannot picture you in that scenario. 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.840 Oh my goodness, Please somebody tell me what to do, 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.960 Please tell me what to do. I think that's that's 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.199 why I'm most if I'm ever like precious about this 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:39.120 experience on behalf of the celebs. That's the reason why 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.760 I'm like, you should be so. I mean, please, somebody 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.440 if I could go nunchucks with the stars, you know, 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.879 and have a master nunchuck ninja teaching me. 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.840 Something that that right, right right. 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.240 Just teach me, Like what a gift to be taught, 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.720 especially in our age were. 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:59.840 Responsible, I mean in dance, for you to have to 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:03.520 be for someone to come in something you know so 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.199 much about and to just say I'm just gonna keep 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:10.000 my mouth shut while you you Wow, Okay, you like it. 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:11.760 I can totally see why you'd want to be like 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.320 a unchuck. Totally get that. 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:19.480 Yeah, no, totally. I mean, like so with Adele for instance, 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.879 I mean I know this from inside information, you know. 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.879 Gleb was just like, yo, teach me your competition. Yeah, 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.520 I'll do it. And because he's so nasty, he can 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:37.800 dance on the level of a competitive athlete, because that's 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.720 what that symble was, and we're going to get into 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:45.360 that performance. But it's fun to see all these different pros. 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:47.920 You could really see who's got what. That's what I 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.400 meant like. It really felt like a good final four 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.360 for different reasons. For each individual, you know, and it's 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:59.840 like you have Selena and she gave you the the show. Yeah, 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:07.080 way TV pop boom awesome. Yeah. And then with Adele, 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:11.320 you just saw you saw an Olympic athlete and show 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:13.960 you how you know, we watched the Olympics. There's nothing 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:19.000 performative about the one hundred meter dash, but we're glued 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.200 to the athleticism of it. It's so entertaining because it's 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:26.199 at the highest level of human performance. Yeah, that's what 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.440 I'm looking at when I'm watching Adele and that level 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:32.800 of samba. So the feedback that they got, yes, you're right, 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:36.439 but it's undeniable because of the quality that it is. 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.879 Oh yeah, yeah, it was. It was top notch. Robert 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.560 sends them off to rehearsals with just one day left 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:47.480 until their first performance. Adele and Gleb hit it off immediately. 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.119 They speak to each other at Russian and Adele feels 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:54.119 comfortable like she's dancing with her partner back home. Meanwhile, 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:57.840 Alan is a little nervous and intimidated with Whitney. Makes 0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:01.880 sense to me, he's second guessing his choreography, but it's 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:06.080 still coming together. She does, however, think he can work 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:09.479 on his confidence. Alan says he will do everything in 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.040 his power to get to the finals for his mom. 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.040 And then Selena and Jan have a connection as well. 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.919 They both have commercial dance background, so she's hoping to 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.439 incorporate a lot of wow moments and maybe bend some 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:26.480 rules and perform some lifts and over. In Studio four, 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:31.360 Riley immediately notices that a very confident Aj is constantly thinking. 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:33.960 As a result, she could see him losing patience with 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:38.919
