WEBVTT - SAMANTHA JADE - DANCING WITH THE STARS - CHANNEL SEVEN 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.720 It's in the news today, but it was actually on 0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:05.560 TV Reload the podcast last week. Thereby, yaday, guys, welcome 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.520 back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking and downloading. 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:12.520 On today's episode with Samantha Jade, who was amazing on 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:16.200 this year's Dancing with the Stars. I was super excited 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:20.040 to confirm a debrief session with sam because I absolutely 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.840 loved her. And sometimes it's better to talk to the 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:24.600 runner up than it is to talk to the winner, 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.440 you know. Kudos to Lisa McCune. However, my guest today 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:32.000 is very well known for being on X Factor. She's 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.760 been on most reality shows, from Celebrity Apprentice, which I'll 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.120 bring up at some point of the chat, to the 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.160 whole list of other ones. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:38.600 I don't know. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.519 She's probably been in the jungle four times by now. 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.920 But we are here to talk about Dancing with the Stars, 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.760 and boy did she take to this competition like a 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.680 duck to water. Who is going to forget that she 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.320 sung that Christina Aguilira song like absolutely amazing. I will 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.760 talk about how they filmed those two endings and how 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.960 she found out whether she came first or second, plus 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.520 what her reaction was to finding out that Lisa McCune 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.000 had beaten her. You will find out about how the 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.560 idea to actually seeing that Christina Aguilira's song came about. 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.240 And also you'll find out whether or not doing Dancing 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.000 with the Stars is going to level up Samantha Jade's 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.920 ability to do live performances. You know, at the moment 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.440 she does some small amounts of choreography, but I can 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.560 imagine after doing this, you know, we should expect to 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.240 see a little bit more. There's an opportunity to talk 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.319 about the chemistry between the cast, why they connected this 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.679 year so well, who surprised her, and what she really 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.000 thought of Sonya Krueger's jokes this year, which is also 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.600 quite interesting. Oh and I will ask about those judges 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.679 and if the contestants actually take their critiques on board, 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.800 which she's quite fascinating. There is so much to talk 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.920 about with Samantha Jade, So sit back and relax as 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.919 we unpack the wonderful world of Dancing with the Stars 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.440 for twenty twenty five. Know, hey, how are you. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.040 I'm good, how are you going? 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.960 I'm doing very well? But I can honestly say that 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.520 I am so shocked the Channel seven didn't just call 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.680 that a tie and get on with the day. 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.960 To be honest, like, I just getting to the final 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.320 was enough for me, you know, like it was such 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.359 an amazing experience. And to be standing up there next 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.560 to Lisa McCune, Like, what in what world do you 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:17.840 lose to Lisa? 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:18.840 That's very cool. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.679 I think that I read somewhere that like it was 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.760 very competitive between the two of you, and I can't 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.560 imagine that you two have ever even had a fight 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.560 with anybody in your entire life. So was there any 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.200 competitive spirit behind the scenes between the two of you? 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.520 Oh my gosh, not at all. Like that's probably the 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.280 furthest thing from the truth that I've ever heard. She 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.400 and I she was on my big sister on the show, 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.040 her and Nikki, Like we. 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:43.639 All got along. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.400 That's what was so nice about this experience. It really 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.040 was like Lisa, we just did the morning show together, 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.120 and she said it felt like a musical, you know, 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.200 where everybody becomes very close and becomes friends and it 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.960 becomes like a showcast. And it really was that feeling 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.480 where everyone was just kind of driving each other to 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:01.280 do better. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.320 Which is amazing. I think, you know, because you've done 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.040 other reality shows before. And it's interesting because you know, 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.280 we've been on this journey with you right from sort 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.919 of X Factor days, and we've seen you do the 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.400 shows that I can imagine at this point, you kind 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.360 of get asked to do these shows and you wonder 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.440 whether or not there's conflict, or there's drama that's there, 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.000 or what you're signing yourself up here, And so when 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.160 you say yes to doing something like Dancing with the Stars, 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.040 which by nature is competitive, it's probably the last place 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.600 that you think you're going to go to find everyone 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.120 being very pg and play school. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.760 Yeah, and it really is that, because you're right, I 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.520 have done other shows that it hasn't been like that. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.160 So yeah, it was so lovely. It was a really 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:42.200 really good strength and. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.160 Everybody was really just there, I. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.280 Think to compete with themselves. I really felt that I 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.160 think everyone wanted to just better themselves every week. And 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.320 we've also got to be great for our dance partners, 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.920 like we're stepping into their world, which is what they do, 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.680 and we want to make sure that we do our best, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.520 you know for them, I mean the amount of hours 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.560 they put into teaching us and you know, making sure 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.440 that we feel and look good. It really is, you know, 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.080 in testament to them, and also we just want to 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.680 feel like we're we're doing our best for them. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.880 And I think you definitely did sort of slip into that. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.640 I'm trying to think though, there was one show where 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.080 I remember watching you and maybe it's Celebrity Apprentice, but 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.279 off the top of my head, I'm really free balling, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.240 which is bad for my way, yes, bad for my 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.600 research team aka myself. And I just remember watching you 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.479 when my television once where it was like you just 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.680 were like looked almost at the camera to be like, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.160 why the hell am I here? Is that Celebrity Apprentice? 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.320 It would have been Celebrity Apprentice, I'm sure, yeah. I 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.200 mean just such a different show, completely different show, completely 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.880 different energy, and you know, completely different goals at the 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:47.479 end of the day. 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.200 Absolutely. I mean, I think some of these shows that 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.920 have gone now that we're sort of more about conflict 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.599 have gone for that reason. I think we by nature 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.160 here in Australia, the people that are still loving Free 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.159 to Wear and that are turning up they want to 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.000 have some escapism from their day and see something more fun. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.000 I don't think that they want absolutely the gotcha moment. 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.400 Oh yeah, I think so too. Well. I just think, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.919 you know, that kind of gets old, like, you know, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.560 the kind of flick satan being and the you know, 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.600 people being mean to each other and on purpose. It's 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.000 just like, you know, there's enough going on in the world. 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.159 There's enough hardships out there, people are going through enough. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.120 You know, let's watch something light. It's something fun and 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:27.360 cheer people on. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.560 There was also some reports about there being sort of 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.320 a couple of endings filmed, because you know, they shot 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.239 the show a little while ago. When do you find 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.120 out if they shoot multiple endings? When did they tell 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.320 you the Seven Rings? Were you watching it on TV 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:40.320 last night? 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:46.840 I watched it live with everybody else. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:47.640 so you know. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.919 I mean you watch it live with everyone. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.760 There's something nice about that, you know, you don't I 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.880 really didn't know, and you just hope for the best, obviously, 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.640 But yeah, I was nervous all days. There these weird 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.120 little butterflies in my stomach. It was so funny. And 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.600 then yeah, I just watched it live and I really 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.520 didn't know which way it was going to go. I 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:07.280 really didn't. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.880 But thanks good television as well. But I'm curious. Yes, Eve, 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.560 it was me, and you know, maybe we're very different people. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.080 I don't know whether I would just smack the TV 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.880 and have a tequila shot and go to and then 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.440 just go to bed and turn off all the lines. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.000 I don't know, what does it look like. What does 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.200 it look like for Samantha Jade when you find out 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.000 that you didn't win, that you've come second. 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.080 Oh my god, you know what? 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.760 I just I just was happy. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.000 I really was, like, I truly was. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:32.919 I was I was cluppying. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.240 I was like, Lisa McCune was brilliant. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.840 She is a class act. If there's anyone want to 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.960 lose to, it's the icon that is Lisa, you know, 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.440 Like she's Australian acting royalty, you know. And I truly, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.839 honestly like, I was so happy a girl one because 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.520 there's been a lot of male winners in the last 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.120 few years, and I was like, this girl has to 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.640 take it home this year. And I was really happy 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.359 to see that. I was happy to be part of 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.800 the season that we had a female winner. It's been 0:06:58.839 --> 0:06:59.360 too long. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.400 Yeah, I agree, I didn't. I did appreciate that. You know. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.200 What was also surprising for me was when we got 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.000 the reveal that it was you singing that Christina Aguilera 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.400 song that's so familiar to us, and you know, yes, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.280 one of the most complicated singers of all time. And 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.160 after that you acknowledge that the what's it called, the 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.640 not the rhythms, the yes, yeah, and you nail it. 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.640 So no one knew until they told us. At the end, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.520 they were like, and by the way you sung that song, 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.080 it blew my mind. But how many takes does it 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.200 take to be in the recording studio to sound like 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.760 Christina Aguilera to that sort of Well, I. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.640 Actually have I actually have the footage. I'm going to 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.680 upload it tonight because I have all the footage singing yeah, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.120 because yeah, I mean, of course we're in the rehearsal 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.160 and I can't remember it really was that came up 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.240 with that idea, but they're like, would you sing the song? 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:48.800 And I was like, I mean, if I'm allowed to, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.640 I would love to. They're like, oh my god, let's 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.880 get you to do it. Then I just said yes, like, 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.240 because I'm in the middle of a rehearsal. Absolutely, that's 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:56.640 my bag. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:57.720 That's singing. That's what I do. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.280 And then I got into the studio and I was like, 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.440 oh my god, I forgot how hard this song is 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.360 to sing. I mean, Christina, She's like a vocal powerhouse, 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.560 and every single line of the riff from the very beginning. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.720 No one knew. No one knew. Everyone was like, oh, 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.560 this is Christina, like you know, so yeah, and then 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.480 I even you know, when they did the playbacks where 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.240 we got to hear it again. Then you're like, oh, 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.000 I can hear the signature Samantha Jay. I can hear 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:20.480 it now? 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.679 Oh yes, yes, because I did try and make sure 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.040 that I kind of, you know, played to obviously Christina's 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.120 obviously definitely her rhythms and how she sings and put 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.400 it in that kind of place in my voice which 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.720 I don't usually sing from. So that was really fun 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:37.680 to explore as well. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.840 Well, this was the most broin cast. We just talked 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.040 about that before. Everyone brought something quite unique, Like even 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.080 Shane Crawford was obsessed with watching him because he was 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.719 sort of very fun and it was sort of that 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.600 was playing into his lane of who he was, but 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.319 totally who was it for you? 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:53.600 Though? 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.240 That really surprised you when it came to hearing about 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.040 the cast and then seeing them dance, who really shocked 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.960 you about what they brought to the competition. 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.040 I mean, I really do think everyone did such a 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.280 great job. Like it's so much harder than I think 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:07.959 people think. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:08.280 It's. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.559 It's a real tough show to be on because the 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.679 dancing is really really hard and getting out there and 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:15.400 just getting on. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.400 Stage is really tough for a lot of people. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.080 I've got to say. Adam, like, I just thought he 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:25.720 did such a beautiful job of the rumba. It was 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.840 just it was so gorgeous. And he's such a cheery, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:35.720 smiley man, and so for him to not smile, I 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.920 know that that's really hard because I was backstage with 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.920 them all the time. He's firma smile, like constantly in all. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.720 So I loved watching that. I thought he was so great. 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.559 I mean, Aunt's contemporary was so beautiful to watch. It 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.600 was really hard to do and he did such a 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.720 great job. Yeah, just everyone really to be honest, that 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.440 first run through where you get to kind of watch everyone, 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.480 I was like, oh my gosh, wow. I was always 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.440 like how people are remembering. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.640 Steps because there's so. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.640 Many steps and choreography is really tough to remember and 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.880 I was like, everyone's really doing that. That is really good, 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:09.920 Like it's really hard. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.600 Does that mean that you will now? I mean, I've 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.720 seen you live and you've always been quite amazing, but 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.720 I just was so curious about whether or not this 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:22.800 has given you some confidence into maybe incorporating more dancing 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.480 in your live performances. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.040 Yes, definitely, I would absolutely love to do. I think 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:33.400 now it's opened my whole mindset to a completely different style, 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.560 so definitely. And I think now even when I went 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.920 to afterwards filmed, I went to LA and I shot 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:45.560 some footage for Itchy, and honestly, when I was doing so, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.840 it was like this routine that my choregrapher came up with. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.800 And usually I would be like, I'll do this part 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.199 and then I'll step out for this step part and 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.719 then I'll do this part, but I won't do that part. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.080 I was like, show me the whole thing. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.120 I can do the whole thing. It's really given me 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:58.840 so much more confidence in dancing. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.320 And I think about, you know, all the comparisons that 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.360 for Kylie Minogue, because we all did that when You're 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.800 on X Factor, because we couldn't believe that we basically 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.000 had two we had a hidden minogue this whole time, 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:12.360 but she wasn't really a dancer when she started. You know, 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.000 I think that we could see one of those big 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.320 arena spectacular Samantha Jay performances. I think I'm up for that. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.760 Oh absolutely, I'm up for that too. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.200 Let me know where tells. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:22.559 Me There. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.600 Everyone was talking about Sonya Krueger and doctor Chris Brown 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.800 being like, you know, they were so fun together. There 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.240 was some criticism about some of the bawdiness and the 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.600 banter that they had. But I was wondering, did you 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.920 guys even notice that? Because as well as I know Sonya, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.959 and I know her quite well, her sense of humor 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.839 is quite cheeky. And to me, I wouldn't even notice 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.920 that she was being bawdy with her humor. But what 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.680 was it like on the dance floor? Were you guys 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.480 all in stitches? How was the reaction? 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.240 Oh my gosh, Sonya is so brilliant at what she does. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.600 I am in awe. That is not an easy job. Like, 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.680 she's just brilliant, and she's so funny, and she's so witty, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.200 and I think, listen, everything come in cheap. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.480 It's a performance. It's a performance. Show. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.080 It's about dancing, its art, and it's about theater and 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.199 the theatrics of it all. That's what makes it so great. 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.560 So I think the way they host the show and 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.880 the way those jokes come about, and the wittiness, I 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.760 think that's all part of it. You know, it's a 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.839 performing arts show. So yeah, I think, like, don't take 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.880 it too seriously, guys, it's all in good fun. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:26.920 I honestly was laughing so hard at some of them. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.640 I mean there were some moments that I was like, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.640 am I watching Channel seven and smack the TV? 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.240 But I but I liked it. 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:37.079 I loved it. Yes, how much of the judge's critiques 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.680 help you improve in this competition? Because I love watching 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.320 them because they add so much to this show. They've 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.480 got big personalities and they offer you advice, etcetera, etcetera. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.320 But I'm wondering, never being a contest on the show, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.040 I wondered how much you actually listen to what they're 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:56.080 saying and then incorporate that into your next performance. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.480 Oh, I definitely would definitely take it on. Oh my gosh. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:00.199 Absolutely. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.679 I mean, those judges are all professional dancers. They when 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:08.280 they're speaking, it's from a place of realness and if 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.320 I was judging a singing show, I'm a singer, like 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.640 you know that you know the language, and so definitely, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.240 whenever they would give me any kind of criticism, I 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.000 would take it on board. We would go in and 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.560 we would rehearse harder, we would, you know, add things 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.600 into the routine. I definitely, I was very grateful for 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:25.480 all their feedback. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.280 I mean, it's kind of a nice balance when you're 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.280 getting those different personalities there. My partner was like, was 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.240 obsessed with Shina. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:35.160 Oh my god, she is just gorgeous. First of all, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.280 she's so funny and gorgeous, and second of. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.199 All, such a great judge. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.120 It's like so articulate, always leaves with kindness as well, 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.600 Like she's never mean, she's kind, but she still gives 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.480 you constructive criticism. 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.040 She's such a great judge. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.200 Yeah, now I'm obsessed with her. Would she be your favorite? 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.600 I don't know who is your favorite? Who did you 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:54.880 love getting the feedback? 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.559 Oh, definitely, I think Shanna. Like she and also the 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.599 look she was serving every week. I was like, absolutely 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.040 to this glam like she's just stunning every week. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:06.760 I just want to go up and ask her whether 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.079 she because she's now with Brian Austin Green from nine 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.240 o two, or I just want to go and ask 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.480 her questions about whether or not she just gets him 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.559 to watch old episodes of nine o two or not. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.680 Oh my god, I do like DVD commentary, That's what 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.000 I'd be doing. I mean, that's probably why be like. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.440 What what happened behind the scenes? Oh my god, I 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:22.960 did the same. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.440 What was jenn and do Alerty really like you know 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.800 all of those questions? Yes, I guess before you go, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.400 as I should ask you, like, what really surprised you? 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.120 I think that's the probably what people want to know. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.400 What really surprised you the most about this competition? 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:36.240 You know what? 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.960 I guess For me on a personal level, I was 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.520 so I was surprised I could do it. I truly 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.200 in the very beginning was like, you know, oh god, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.880 I hope I can keep up. I hope I can 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.120 do this because it's really not easy. And I think 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.880 that that when I after the first week and I 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.360 did it, I was like, okay, because you do rehearsal 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.920 for ages. Once you get to the actual stage, that's 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.480 and it really gets real, you know, because you're like, oh, 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.160 my god, I can now there's an audience watching, there's 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.680 judging that's going to happen. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:07.360 You know. 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.440 I'm in the costume, there's the hair, like, there's all 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:11.400 new elements. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:12.840 And once I got. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.880 There, I was like, oh wow, And I was really 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.680 surprised with myself that I could dance. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.280 And I think it's a beautiful thing that. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.200 This show gives to people, Like this gives people a 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:26.720 whole new credential, a whole new talent, you know that 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.600 we can say, like, God, if I go to a 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.040 wedding and they're doing boramancing, I'll be like, hey, I can. 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.680 Jump up and do a bit of that, So get 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.040 me a whole new skill to have. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.760 I mean, you've obviously had got this natural ability that's 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.960 just been lying dormant. And I wonder whether or not 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.640 because of the way in which singers no music and 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.800 understand keeping in time. I wonder if that is a 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.800 bit of an advantage and that is why you were 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.240 able to dance I think, so much better than everybody, 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.200 because you know, you've been keeping in rhythm with your 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.640 music for so long. I wonder if then that does 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.920 lend itself to being able to you know, memorize or 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.360 remember how to do the step. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.320 Well, I definitely think, yeah, picking up wise because obviously 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.880 you know picking up wise, I do that, you know, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.520 pick up Corey. And also yeah, I can hear the 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.640 little rhythms and beats that maybe some people can't because 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.000 that's what I do. So yeah, I think that. 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:16.000 Part of it for sure. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.160 What is something from behind the scenes? Can you tell 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.160 us anything? Just like a behind the scenes secret that 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.160 no one would know, Samantha Jade's behind the scene secret. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.040 Maybe it's a funny outdoate that happened. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:30.440 Oh my gosh, I've got to think, what do I 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:31.000 have for you? 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:31.880 What do I have for you? 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.080 I mean, the amount of red bullets behind the scenes 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.880 is hilarious because we have to keep that in the 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:36.360 juice up. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:38.000 How long is it? 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:38.280 Actually? 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.920 That's really good. That's interesting that you say that. I 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.320 wonder because from doing television myself, it usually would take 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.760 like whenever you get home, it takes a really long 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.840 time to sort of decompress. How long, oh, it would 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.160 it take to calm down from being on Dancing with 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.080 the Stars before you can go to sleep at night? 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:59.000 Oh my gosh, the calmdown is real, Like the egg 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.400 or thing, and then you'd be like, I can't wait 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.480 to go to bed, you know. And then you come 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.600 home and your mind's just racing, and yeah, you've got 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.040 the adrenaline and you're like, okay, I can't sleep. So 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.640 I would come home and I would have a shower 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.360
