  Speaker 1: This is the Almost Famous Podcast with iHeartRadio. Hi, everybody.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's Trista, and we are back, me and Deanna.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hi, Dee. Hey, girl. I hope you have plenty of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: time today because this was my favorite episode by far,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and I plan on rambling for like two hours, but
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I will try my best to keep it to a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: solid minimum because I have lots of thoughts. I mean, same, same.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: And obviously, we are here to talk the most dramatic
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: dance floor ever with Dancing with the Stars. Season five,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: their latest episode, I think it was episode four or, no, sorry,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it was season five. Can you imagine season five? That
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: was like 2006, you know? Trista, we would be young, tight.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We would be so young and have no... Fresh faced.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd have little tiny babies that I miss so much.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Anyway, season 35, episode 5 last night. And you're right.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It was full of.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Goodies that we are so excited to talk about. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: literally texted you last night, goody, goody, goody. Yeah. I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: was wondering what that meant too at the time. I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: was like, so many, so many goody moments. I hope
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you are buckling up for today so much. I'm like
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a thirsty old woman.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So the theme of the episode last night was Mariah
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Carey and she started out the show with reading a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: teleprompter i'm sure you you noticed i so i follow
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: i don't follow this guy but every wednesday morning i
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: open instagram to this guy who his wife records him
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: i need to get his instagram account his wife records
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: him and he it's like his commentary throughout the show
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And he was like, Mariah, you could have tried a
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: little with the teleprompter.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: That is not it. That's not her strong suit. The
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: high notes and the low notes are her strong suit.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Let's give the queen a break, okay? Right, I know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, the high notes especially. She's just a force.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Like, she's had more single, I think, singles that she's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: written than any other. Like, this is compared to Taylor Swift.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So, I mean.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And I will say, Julianne, I was watching on Instagram
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: yesterday all about this dress. Did you hear about the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: dress before? Like, Ezra brought it up after he danced
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: with Julia. But her dress that she wore last night
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: is actually Mariah Carey's dress that they found on The RealReal.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, I heard her mention that towards the end of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the episode. But now that I'm a critic of Dancing
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: with the Stars... in all of my professional opinions. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: didn't like the way they skirted over it. And the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: way she kind of stuck it in there was like, oh,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: she forgot to do it in the episode. So she
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: threw it in there real quick and then she got
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: all flustered and then she had to pick up with
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: another question. They didn't spend enough time really talking about
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that because that's iconic. If I could fit a thigh
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in a dress that Mariah Carey wore once, I'd probably
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sleep in it, eat in it, go to lunch in it,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and clean house in it. And she was fire last night.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Julianne looked amazing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And I guess the inspiration of her long hair last
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: night was that Giselle did a cover in that same
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: dress on a magazine. I think it was Vanity Fair
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: or something. And so her look was inspired by Giselle.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And honestly, like I told you guys last night on
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: our text thread, she was giving me young Joan vibes.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I know. You said that. Joan from The Golden Bachelorette.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That's who Trista thinks that Julianne looked like last night.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you, as the show went on,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I couldn't unsee it when I was looking at her.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And listen.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Julian is like, she is so fire. She's so cute.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: She's got that bubbly personality, you know, her dancing, everything.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I actually like her with shorter hair. I think the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: long hair aged her. It's interesting.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like I love that she has this short hair,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but I love that she changes her hair constantly. Like
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: we have seen her go through so many changes and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I think she changes it up because she just likes it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: The change, the newness of a new cut, and the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: kind of fashion and style around it. I do love
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: her with long.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Hair, though, I have to say. She looked so hot
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Not that she isn't beautiful every single episode.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Always. Always, right? I'm hooked now, Trista.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It took me a few episodes, you know what I mean?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And you know how I am.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I'm loyal.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I like all the things. I need to be like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I need to like really... be down by like episode
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: two and this was a little slow growing for me
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: until last night and i am so down with a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: mariah carey night you know what i mean yeah this
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was so nostalgic to me i loved her growing up
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: i went through this phase when i was like i
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: don't know 10 11 12 that i was going to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: be a singer and my mom was still alive and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: she would just like sit in the living room in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: her hospital bed and like watch me sing and i
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: would try to sing mariah carey And you know, now
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we know being a mom, like she was like, oh
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: my God, my sweet little girl. She was, how were
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: her ears not bleeding? But I carried on with this
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: dream for some time. Well into my twenties, I took
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: voice lessons. I was convinced that I wanted to be
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a singer, but I have terrible stage fright. Isn't that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so funny? says the girl who goes on reality TV
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and now podcasts. You know what I mean? I had
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: terrible stage fright. I cannot even do karaoke. Like I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: can't stand in front of people and I have a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: relatively decent voice, but her octave range is impeccable. Like
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you can't compare it to anyone else. And her stage
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: presence is And I loved that they showed some of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the old clips of her from the early 2000s where
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: she's like, the lighting is not good in here. Don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: film me. She just can't be bothered. She is so
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: true to who she is. And as a woman, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: really admire that. I wish at that age I had
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that kind of confidence. I did not. I didn't. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: remember going into The Bachelorette and they were like, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: have to wear bikinis. And I was like, absolutely not.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: My body was banging 20 years ago. You know, like
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the way that Mariah Carey just exudes confidence and royalty
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: really And can still do that today. Like, I was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: so stoked last night. I was all in my feels
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: with all of the songs, with all of the dreams,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: with all of the memories, with the clothing. We're going
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to get into that. But yeah, did you love it?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I was a little skeptical going into it, thinking Mariah
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Carey night. I mean, I love Mariah Carey songs, but
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't know how they were going to, you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: make it work. I would have loved to see her
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: in the ballroom, but whatever.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, right?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Um, so we should get on to, uh, the dances
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: because you know, that's what we're here for.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Um, so we started. Right. Thanks Trista.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Heather is writing in the chat.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on. See, we, this is why the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: people love us. There was so much commentary on the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: social media, the social media. I'm so old. last week.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And I love that our listeners are engaging with us
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and watching the show with us. You know, I have
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: so much fun doing this with you because you're my
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: friend and I have so much fun podcasting, but it is,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it has been really fun to dive into a show
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that is like not my thing. And I know it's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: your thing, Trista, and just kind of learn as I go.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm, I'm like, I'm having so much fun. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: love it. I'm so, that makes me so happy. Just
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: bring another girl to my side. Um, Yes, I love it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Sierra and Brandon were first. And I thought
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: it was a jazz piece. They did it to emotions.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And I felt like it's really interesting to me because
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: this show started. And I would love to know the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: statistics of how long this went on.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But they did not.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Jazz was not a genre that they had celebs perform.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It was always ballroom genres.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: So it was cha-cha, it was tango, it was the waltz,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it was rumba, it was all these very traditional ballroom
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: or Latin.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Genres.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And jazz is not ballroom per se. And it's usually
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: saved for the freestyle, which is at the very end
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: on the finale. You can do whatever genre you want
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: if you want to do contemporary. They have thrown in contemporary,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: but I feel like it was also strange. Season 15,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they started allowing them to do these different genres.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Heather.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: So they were doing jazz in season 15, 20 seasons ago,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: which is crazy to even say out loud. But I just,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like as someone who was there in the beginning,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I would love to go back to where it was
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: just ballroom.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Pieces. I don't know.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like Jazz just, it was her and Tatiana
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: that did Jazz last night. And Sierra got amazing scores
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and really great feedback from the judges. But I just,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I don't get drawn in. And please, I love Jazz.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: as a dancer. I also have a daughter who that's
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: probably her strongest genre of dance.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And I love jazz.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: But I just don't know, how did you feel as
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: kind of someone new to watching Dancing with the Stars
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: with the jazz element?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: All right, I thought she did amazing last night, so
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I have lots of feels when we get to the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: end of this episode. I'm not going to spoil anything
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: for anyone, but I thought she did amazing. But what
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I heard you just say is that it was like...
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the freestyle is at the end. For someone who does
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: not know a lot about dance, Trista, it felt like
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a freestyle to me. I didn't see jazz. I didn't
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: see jazz. I thought it was great. And I love
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that Carrie Ann said it was her best dance so far.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I thought it was really, really great. She felt connected.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: She dances really well. She's got great personality. You know
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: what I mean? But it felt very freestyle to me.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't see jazz, but I thought she did good.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And I love to see, and I've said this, I
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: think in every single podcast, podcasts that we have recorded
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: so far. I have seen improvement in her every week.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of why I'm watching. I've said that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to see, you know, the Jenna Dewans improve.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: She's incredible. But like, Sierra has improved. every single week.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: And she danced her heart out last night. I thought
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it was really good.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Jazz, I don't know, but I thought it was really good. Well,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: let me clarify.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: So at the very end of Dancing with the Stars
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: on the finale, they do a freestyle routine, meaning that
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: they don't, they're not given a one specific genre. So
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: they can blend genres. They can do the tango and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the cha-cha if they wanted to. Like, Or they can
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: do hip hop or they can do a jazz piece.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So when I say freestyle, it's just in terms of
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the Dancing with the Stars, you know, quote unquote, use
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: of freestyle. But I think what you're saying is it
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: just seemed like improv, you know, like that they were doing,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you know, like any kind of dance, but it wasn't
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: very specific. So I just feel like it wasn't, maybe
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it was just the choreography that I wasn't crazy about,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: but I thought Sierra did a great job last night.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought she did a great job. She got
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a 21 out of 30, which I thought was really deserving.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And I like to see that the scores are getting higher.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I know you told me this would happen. So I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: am like, I feel like I'm just like mentally preparing
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for all of the things. But yeah, 21 out of 30.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I thought it was very well deserved. You know what
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she did.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: She did well.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So pretty. Someone else who does really well. And as
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: your friend, I know this is still your pick to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: win is Ezra and Daniela. I, I fell in love
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: last night. I mean, there is, I told you I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: have so much to unpack in the short period of
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: time that we have today, but like the way he moved,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I had a couple of things that I was kind
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of like, I didn't really need that. And for everyone listening,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we have a little side text chain going on. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: there was this little like dip at the end of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Ezra's dance and Like this little, like, I don't even
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: know what to call it because I'm very untrained, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: this little like... move at the end where he like dips. I,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it felt very weird and unfitting to me. I didn't
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: need it. You know what I mean? Because he did
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: so great. The way he dances is incredible. And to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: do that, you know, with everything he has, I, he
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: moves so well, his hips, the way he glides, the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: way he was manhandling his partner and leading her. He's phenomenal.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He is phenomenal.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: It truly, and what I loved, this was, to me,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: really said so much about their partnership. In the middle
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: of the dance, they were doing the cucarachas where they're
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: like standing face to face and they're like moving their hips,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of like this. And Danny is had
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the biggest smile on her face when she turned to
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: like go into a new movement. At least that's how
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I remember it. And I could see the pride in
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: her eyes. Like, you just did that. And you could
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: tell that it was something they worked so hard on.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: And she was so proud of him.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And you could see it. It was all over her face.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And it just made me so happy.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Like it just, and I got chills and, and I
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: will tell you as someone who appreciates dance, you don't
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: have to be a dancer to appreciate dance, but I
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: feel like any of the dance shows that I've watched
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: over the years where the, whether it's, so you think
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you can dance or world of dance or dancing with
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the stars. Whenever I see a number that is just
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: out of control.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I get chills and I got chills with this dance.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: It was just, it makes you feel something. And I
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: was blown away by him. He looked hot last night
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: in how his hair was and everything. He is just
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: a total inspiration.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I love him. He still is my pick to win.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of hearts would break
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: if he were ever kicked off the show. I am
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: also starting to see the skill in the pros. You
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? You can just tell the ones
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: who have been on the show for a while and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: are just further into their craft and their career. It
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: truly shows. Obviously, some of our celebrities have some skill
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: that's already there and we expect that. But I am.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I am seeing the skill set in the pro. You
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? The celebrity, they're doing their job
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and I commend them for it. But also like, let's
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: give a round of applause to the pros as well,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: because the way that they are able to teach these
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: people in a short period of time, not just the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: dance and the steps and the counts, but also the faces,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the connection, the chemistry. Yeah. That's like, that's all the pros.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: It just goes to show that they are worth every penny.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: They're worth every penny. Yeah.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll get to that when we come to
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Maura and Mark, because I think he's probably the best pro.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: But Danny is doing such an incredible job with Ezra.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Just their partnership is something to watch. I look forward
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to it every single week. And that's not to say
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: that I don't look forward to seeing other people on
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the show, but I feel like they are the people
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that I'm like... Oh, yay.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Here comes their routine. I'm so excited. Yeah. I just
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: love them. Well, it showed, Trista. They got a 24
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: out of 30 last night. I mean, I was like, oh, yay.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Big scores. Big scores. I like this.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Big scores. She was so happy. He was so happy, too.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: But I love just seeing their joy. So they deserved it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Harry and Jenna were next.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: And we have to point out that Amber Riley, who
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: was on Glee with Harry.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: sang the song.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: And I didn't realize that until after Alfonso, you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: recognized that and introduced her afterwards. But how special is that?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: That he got to dance to one of his friends
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: singing the song.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Like, that's so cool. That's really cool. I love it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: This is another, I would hope that you would agree,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: pro situation where Jenna just is a consummate pro and
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: she shows, and yes, Harry came with some dance talent,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: but she has truly taken him to the next level
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and shown him all about what ballroom is about. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I just, I can't get away from the fact that
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: she is such a stunning dancer, but also has brought
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: him up to be right there next to him, right
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: there next to her.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah. I, I, if I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: did not know that he was like married and had
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: his own family and his whole life going on, I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: would absolutely believe the chemistry that the two of them
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: have going on, the connection that they have. And like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not an actress, Trista, nor am
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I a professional dancer, but like I don't know if
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I could fake it. I don't know if I could
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: fake it. And they all do it really well. I mean,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: they're all really attractive. Let's get on, let's get really honest. I,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I need to work on my abs and my thighs
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and everything else after watching Dancing with the Stars. But like,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: they're all so attractive and what feels like inside and out.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And I know, and here's a good question that I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: thought of last night that I have for you. How
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: much of their rehearsals is like scripted-ish? I know some
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of it, you know what I mean? Like their little
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: talks on the couches and stuff like that, like that
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: has to be rehearsed for segments of the show. But
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: how much time do they actually get in the studio
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to rehearse, have time alone without cameras where they are
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: truly just like working on the craft of dance? Is
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: it like just one day? And what if they really
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: just like don't like each other?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: No, it's not just one day. They are rehearsing every
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: day and almost at every moment that they can. And
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: it's probably up to them how long, like how much
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: sleep they need, when they want to get some food,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: you know, all of those things. They are rehearsing so much.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: And I loved this pack. with Harry and Jenna that
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: it's showing him going back and forth to his real,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: not real job, but his Grey's Anatomy job to rehearsing
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: with her and having to rehearse in tiny spaces, in
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: his trailer at Grey's, and then in the behind-the-scenes areas
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: of Grey's Anatomy. Like, that was cool to see, too. Like,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: just envisioning him putting on his coat, getting ready for
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: whatever he has to do. I can't even imagine because
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: it's not like he doesn't have a big part in
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Grey's Anatomy. He is one of the lead actors in
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: that show. So, he's got to have So many lines.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: So not only is he memorizing lines for Grey's Anatomy,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: but he's memorizing dance moves.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: He's all, let's intubate the trachea. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Doctor, next.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, how is he keeping
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: it all straight? Like, that's what my chaotic mind would be, Trista.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, thank God he's young because there's no way
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I could do that now. Like, I love multitasking, but
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: no way I could do that. So anyway, I thought he...
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Totally deserved all of the eights. And I will say
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: they didn't rip open his shirt on the dance floor,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: but he had it open before they got on the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: dance floor when they announced that he was going to
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: be dancing next.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: His abs are insane.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Like, my husband has some pretty damn good abs. I
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: was like, whoa, I don't know that I've ever seen
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: abs like that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: There were lots of abs last night. Lots of abs.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Lots and lots and lots of abs. It was real
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: fun to watch.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Like, are they all just like eating lean turkey and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: doing sit-ups day in and day out? Yes.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And I don't think you really even have to do
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: that when you are dancing... all of these dances for
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: hours and hours and hours and hours a day. You know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: like you really don't have to work out. You just
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: go to rehearsal.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. So what you have taught me is that I
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: want to be on Dancing with the Stars just to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: refine my 44-year-old body. Excellent. Right. Great. Yes. Let's get
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you on. Okay. Next up is Jenna and Val. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I have said.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: In the last couple episodes that she just hadn't drawn
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: me in and that I wanted to see her doing
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: a slow dance, right?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Because she had done.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: All these really fast, really high energy numbers, which are
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: great because she's really good at them. But I wanted
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: to see her depth as a dancer and her abilities
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: in other dances that showcase her technique. And when you're
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: asked to do something slowly, right? It can be a
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: little harder. It can be a little more difficult. And
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I thought she freaking crushed it. Like she drew me
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: in last night. And even though I have said that
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I don't see her necessarily in the final because I
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: didn't know if she would connect with people who are
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: voting from home, she.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Has the ability.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: She obviously would win the show and could have won
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the show from the very first episode because of her talent.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and her chemistry with Val, but I just didn't know
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: if people would connect with her. And I felt like
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I connected with her more last night because she did
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: open up a little bit about how it is really
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: hard and how she loves it. But also I think
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: we saw a little softer side of her and I
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: loved seeing it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nice to see the emotion on her face.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I saw like her tear
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: up and I just appreciated that. It's almost like we
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: need to see them as human. Exactly.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I want to connect with their story. I want to
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: learn more. It's like why I love reading books. I
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: love the character development, right? And so I loved seeing
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: a little slice of her that we haven't seen yet.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And I hope that continues more and more, that she
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: opens up, that she's more vulnerable. Maybe she shares about
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: her kids and her life.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Her daughter was in the audience last night that she
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: shares with Channing Tatum. Did you see? Yes. Yeah. Yes. Amazing.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I need to believe that they're like my friends, Trista. Totally.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I need to believe that like, since I am invested
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: into this show, they are also invested in me. Yep. Totally. Yes.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they know exactly who we are, Deanna.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: They know. Obviously. I know my boy, Tyler Cameron, is
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: listening to this podcast every single week and he's like, oh, Deanna,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: if only I had known 20 years ago. Oh, Deanna. Oh, Deanna. Oh, Deanna.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I am delusional, y'all, and I can't help it. But
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: my boy, Tyler, did phenomenal last night. I've just been
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: waiting for Trista to get to this point. And for
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: those of you listening, you don't know that my producer, Heather,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is also on board with Tyler Cameron. And listen... He
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: did so great last night. I'm so proud of our guy.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of our guy. He danced well. Last
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: night was the first night that I saw him not
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: look like the Jolly Green Giant on the dance floor.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I can't... And then, oh my God, I know I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: texted you this, but like, you guys... When he at
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the end took his rose and went over to his fiance,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: he's cheating on me, by the way, with his fiance
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and gave her the red rose and kissed her, I
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: was like, swoon. I swoon and he's not even mine.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I don't even know this man. And I was like, oh.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: He's just so dreamy. I want that. But last night
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: was the first time I really, truly saw the connection
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: between him and Shauna as well. I believed it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Shauna.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yes. Shauna. Thank you. Thank you. No, it's all good.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I believed it too.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: And I felt like it was a great dance. I
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: feel like when he gets in frame, like, I don't know,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: it takes away from us staring at the pancake hands
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: and that sort of thing. So this dance was good
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Tristan, when he started the dance and he grabbed her
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: chin and lifted her, that is like a dream for
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: a man to do that to me. When he did that,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's it. 10, 10, 10, 10. He
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: gets 10s all around. Thank God Tyler Cameron is on
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I will say also, I, and I put this in
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: our group chat, I love seeing his emotions, like him
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: talk about how he lost his mom and sharing that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't love hearing him talk about that.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I loved that.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: We got to see his emotional side. You know, he's
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: super silly and charismatic, but seeing him be vulnerable about
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: losing his mom was really heartwarming. And it just, it
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: brought me in more. I loved seeing Ari and Lauren
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: out there on the dance floor, not on the dance floor,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: but in the audience and, And little note, me and
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Blakeslee and three of her friends are going to be on.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: We're going to the next episode. I'm sorry you didn't
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: invite your friend here. I'm only your co-host, Trista. Please
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: make all of my dreams come true and just take...
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I just need one photo with Tyler Cameron. His fiance
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: can even be in the photo. She can stand in
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the middle. How can you not take your girl?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I'll write Dina today and see if
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: you can come.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Well, listen... Listen, I'm going to start like trimming my
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: hair and things. I mean the head up. Oh, my God.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what? I'm flustered now. I mean
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the hair on my head and find a cute dress
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and like just fangirl so hard. Maybe it's best that
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you don't bring me so that I don't embarrass your daughter. Oh,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: my God.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: No.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Dina, right now once we get off and
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: see if you can come. Okay. Okay.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe we can even get in the press line at
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the end. Oh, my God. Trista. Trista. You are like.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Nick Vial has the Vial Files.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Susie Evans does like she's in the press line as
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: their podcast. You know, she has like a Vial Files
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: microphone in the press line.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, I see where our future is going here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: You call your people and I will call my people
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and really like, I just need to get close to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: like Tyler Cameron. If we could just go and I
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: could just take one for the team for all of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: our listeners out there, you know, for all my girls
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: and just, you know, get a picture with Tyler. I
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: promise not to be weird or creepy in any way.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: He's probably just a picture that we could use for
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: forever of me and Tyler Cameron. Because, you know, he's
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: just a phenomenal dancer.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the only thing you're thinking about. He
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: did a really great job. He got all sevens. And
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I think at the beginning, like, Sharna was shocked.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: She was like... What? Yay.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Like we're finally, we're finally here. We're getting solid sevens.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I thought he deserved it. I thought he, his frame
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: was amazing. The partnership was amazing.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: But we also have to bring this up because I
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: said it in the chat. And then Heather was like,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I think I heard that too.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Bruno called him Taylor. What is wrong with these people?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. This has happened multiple times now in
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: this season where they have mistakenly called him Taylor. Taylor
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: instead of Tyler.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Or Dylan. Taylor or Dylan. His name is Tyler. It's
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: not that hard. It's not that hard, people.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: How could you confuse him with another? Give the man
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: his name. due respect. He got a 21 out of
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: 30 last night. His dance was amazing. Yeah, he did
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a great job.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: And I love that Carrie Ann said that his mom,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, was proud of him, which that has to,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: you know, be really sentimental to him, really important to him.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, next up, Maura and Mark.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And I said in the chat, once again, she stuns
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: once again. She is such a beautiful dancer that was
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: not a dancer prior to, like, not even close to
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: a dancer prior to doing this show.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: And she's such a beautiful dancer.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say this until the very end of
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: the show, Dancing with the Stars. He is a phenomenal pro.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: He can take anyone and shape them into the dancer
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: that he wants them to be on the dance floor.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And I think that is such a talent. If you
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: follow him on Instagram, yesterday he put out a video
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: because they had... A part in the routine where she
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: does like two pirouettes, like two.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Turns into like, you know, like she puts her arm out.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And they showed like the progress of kind of how
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: she started, you know, in the exact same spot. They
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: just did it over and over and over again. And
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: his patience with her, he just seems like such a
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: wonderful teacher. And I have to give him props for that.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, she is an amazing dancer. She got the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: first nine of the season, which I actually felt like
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Jenna should have gotten the first nine for her dance earlier.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: No, I'm going to disagree with you. I'm sorry to
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: interrupt you. I'm going to disagree.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: No, it's all good.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: And I only disagree because Mara has no dance skill. Yeah.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. No prior. Previer.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Right. Right.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: She moves like an elegant dancer. dancer. Like when I
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: see her, she is just flawless on the dance floor.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: And again, part of this is because of Mark and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: their friendship and the trust that they have between each other.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: But the way she moves on a dance floor, I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: would dare to say that she is better than Jenna.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: She looks more elegant. With her arms, and listen, these
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: are layman's terms here, the way her posture and she
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: holds her arms, she looks like she's been doing this
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: for 20 years. Her hands, I believe that she's a dancer.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I don't watch her as like one of the celebrities.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: When she's on the dance floor and she and Mark
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: are doing their dance routine, I believe it. I would
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: bet that she has years and years and years of
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: experience dancing.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I will say that she, on the flip side, like
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Jenna was given all these high-paced energetic dances for the
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: past few episodes. Maura has been given more dances that
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: are more serious and more elegant. She hasn't had the
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: like cha-chas and sambas and those sort of dances. And
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to seeing her doing those dances.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: dances because I feel like I want to see if
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: she's able to do as well in those dances as
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Jenna did with the slow dances.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: So I want to see her ability in all genres
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: of ballroom because I think that'll show us a lot.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: But I felt like she did deserve the nine. I
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: just felt like Jenna did amazing and I felt like
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: she deserved a nine also. But Mara and Mark just
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: constantly blow me away. She is a beautiful dancer and
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: he is an exceptional partner.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: So shall the time come, Trista, I will say that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you are right and whatever. But for now, for now.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Mara is at the top of the list for me.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: And I believe that she was very deserving for that
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: nine last night. And if you saw her at the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: end when they were giving her scores, when she dropped
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to the floor in pure shock, I loved that. That
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: brought tears to my eyes because I would, it's a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: safe bet that they work really hard all week to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: do these dances. They all seem to be enjoying it
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and wanting to be there. I'm sure the paycheck is nice,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: but like, I do feel like their hearts are in it.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And when she dropped to the floor, I seriously got
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: like tears in my eyes. I was like shocked at
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: myself because it felt very deserving.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Totally. She is genuinely excited about every single moment that
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: she gets to spend with him on Dancing with the Stars.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: You can feel it from her. And I think that's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: what everyone loves to see. is someone who's appreciative of
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: the opportunity. And I think she is. And she's learning
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: so much. I could see her doing something professional after
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the show, you know, for someone to hire her for
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: either Broadway or I don't know. I just, I can
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: see her doing something after the show.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: She's that good.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: And I will say, like I have said, this has
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: not changed. I see her in the finale, for sure.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Her and Ezra are my two that they're definitely in
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: the finale. Harry and Jenna, I feel like they are
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: both so talented that they have the talent to be
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: in the finale. But I just wonder about the connection
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: of them with people who are voting from home.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Could you clarify something for me since I've not watched
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: a full season before? By the time we get to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the finale, is it just two? No.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: It is, I think, three, maybe four people in the finale.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: They cut it down within the finale, and they end
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: up with two. And then there's two people standing on
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: either side of Alfonso and Julianne, usually. And then they
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: announce the winner from those two. So there will be
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: two in the finale, but I believe they start the
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: finale show with either three or four.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: It'll depend.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: And I don't know that that doesn't change from season
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to season, depending on who they have. But I don't
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: know that there's a specific format. You can correct me
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, Heather. But I feel like there's definitely
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: at least three in the finale, if not four, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: then two at the end. Yeah. Okay.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the clarification. So, and obviously, I
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: don't know that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not the expert on their format, but maybe we'll
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: get an answer before we finish the show. Okay, so
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Guillermo and Whitney were on, and he continues to be
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: given the opportunity. I do feel like he's appreciative of
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: the opportunity, so I love to see that. But we
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: said last week it was his time to go, and
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: he's still... After this number, he got two fours and
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: a five. Whitney, you know, as she has been doing,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: dances around him and is great about the choreography because
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: she knows dance is not his strong suit. So she's
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: going to have him do like the funny things, whatever.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: But I feel like it's his time to go. It
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: probably was this week. He got a 13 out of 30.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: 13 out of 30 was generous.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It was generous. You know what, this is, when
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you compare him to the other people, the conversation that
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: you and I are having right now with the other
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: dancers on this show, the celebrities and their pros, it
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: is not comparison to me. It is, I am almost
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: like astounded that he is still on the show. And
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: it is nothing against him. He is joyful, happy, and free.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: And that makes me so happy. But like I mentioned
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: this to you, that even on Instagram last week, I
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: was seeing some reels pop up where some of the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: other you know, couples, is that what I call them?
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: The teams, they are doing fun reels where they are
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: dancing their heart out. And I'm thinking of one with
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Val and Jenna in particular, and Guillermo's just standing in
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the background, like not, he doesn't even like pop and lock.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: He doesn't even try, you know, and they are dancing
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: their heart out. We are past the point that there
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: is even a piece of comparison here. Whitney danced last night.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: He did not. And this is called Dancing with the Stars.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: He should dance. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: feel like, you know, like you said, nothing against him.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I love his joy and his gratitude for being there
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: and being included.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: And I love Whitney.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: She is a consummate pro as well.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: She's one of my favorites.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like the show is getting more
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: and more serious.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And I feel like we want to see more content.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: We want to see more dancing.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to take you back to our Instagram
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: post of last week. I love that people are writing
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: us and having discussions. And I read every comment. Is
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: it rigged? Is ABC keeping Guillermo on there just because
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: he's on a fellow ABC show? Is that why he
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: gets to stay? And I don't know if you got
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: a chance to read some of the comments, Trista, but
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: people were popping off about how, yeah, some people are
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: saying because they're getting paid by the network or that
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: it is rigged, that there is no, you know, there's
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: no real voting on the show. They're not really listening
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: to people. There was some real conversation going on on
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: our Instagram feed last week about And I have to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: admit that I might now stand with the people. That
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: you think it's Rick. I don't know. I don't know
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: how he can stay. That's the thing. And I take
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: it back to what I just said to you. There
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: are people on that show last night that freaking danced. Yeah.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: And I still stand. He did not dance. Whitney danced. Yeah.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I saw her skill set last night. Yeah. He did
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: not move. He went from point A to point B
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: on the ballroom floor last night, and that was it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: There was not even like a shuffle to get to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: point B. He moved from one point to another while
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: she danced around him. Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Okay. Here's, I'm going to say something. So Heather just
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: put this in our chat for Zoom. Hannah Brown posted
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: that she voted for Guillermo last night.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. So.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: That's why he's staying is there are people like Hannah
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: that are voting for him, even though he's getting the
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: lowest scores. There are people who are connected to him
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: because he's been on Jimmy Kimmel for how many years?
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Like they're connected to him and his personality and.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: And that he's funny.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: The funny person is always someone that people want to
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: stay in this competition.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make him a dancer. Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: It's like about who.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of people have said this, that it's like
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: a popularity contest or whatever. And I think he's pretty popular.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: So I feel like that's why he's sticking around. We'll
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: see if that continues past next week. But because, spoiler alert...
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: He makes it through to next week.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I can't. I'm so angry. I'm so angry. I can't.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I can't, Trista. I know. I've been holding it deep
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: down and I'm like choking on it here because I
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: am like genuinely upset.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I think like I'm fine with it because I feel
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: like he's funny. He's, I like to, I like hearing
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: about his story and the fact that he said that
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: he like wakes up and he's like, you know, that's
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: all you dream about. I mean, when you do something
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: all day long, that's all you think about, even when
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: you're dreaming. So I feel like, you know, it's in
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: him now that he is focused on trying to learn
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: and trying to be better. And I give that up
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: to him. I feel like people love it for whatever
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: reason that they're voting, they're voting, and we'll see if
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: they vote next week.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Let me say... Last thing and we can move on.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: I am not discounting that he seems very happy to
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: be there.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: That he is likely trying. You know, that the showmanship
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: is still a factor. I'm not discounting any of that.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: But here we are, five episodes in, and when we
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: see people dancing their hearts out like Jenna, Ezra, Harry,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: even Sierra at the top of the show. Even my
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: boy Tyler. Yeah. Yeah. In comparison, this is a dance
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: competition show. Yeah. So that's just where I'm at. You
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: asked me to dive in and get attached and girl,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I'm attached. I know. So if we are, if I
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: am not discounting the fact that he is a joy
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: to watch on the screen and I love Jimmy Kimmel
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and I love him on Jimmy Kimmel. I love his personality.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: That aside. Yeah. Isn't it a dancing competition show? Yeah,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I know it is. So you, you should probably dance.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. I'm right there with you.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: I just am pointing out that I think he's just
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: getting the votes from people who want to keep him
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: in the competition. They want to see his growth, you know,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: and whether or not he's growing is something that people
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: can opine about or have their own opinion about.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't wait to see what people have to
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: say on our social media this week. I really enjoyed
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: reading it all last week and I love the engagement.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: I love knowing that people... are just as obsessed as me.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: So keep commenting, you guys. Keep listening. Keep telling us
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: your thoughts because I'm with you. I'm with you. I
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: read them all. And I at least am happy to
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: know that I am not alone, Trista. Oh, definitely not.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: There are millions of us, right? Okay.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: So Jackson and Emma are next. It was his birthday.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Jackson.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: He's 19? Yeah. Yeah, right. No, he's not 19. I
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: got very confused. I was like, he's just a little baby.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: And if he's 19, that means I was already graduated
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: and well into college by the time he was born.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: I was very confused. There's no way. That has to
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: be a joke, right? They said he's 19. I feel
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: like it was a joke. He was just joking. Like,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: If you're 19... That's how old Max is. He just
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: graduated from high school. I don't think he just graduated
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: from high school.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. Our producer Heather is schooling us. He's 29. Thank God.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not so creepy. I'm not as creepy as I thought.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I originally last night text the ladies and was like,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: this is, I just feel dirty watching them. I just
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: feel dirty. You know what I mean? Okay. He's 29.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: It's safe now. We're all safe. We can gawk and
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: fawn and whatever it looks like. So, um, You know,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: his dance was interesting, and I know you have lots
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: of feels about it, Trista, because we were having a
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: whole side conversation. Sloppy, huh?
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought it was a little sloppy. I mean,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: here's a perfect example. The move where he's spinning Emma
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: around on the floor, like holding her hand, and then
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: he goes to pick her up and bring her to him.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: And like half of her body, like you said, like breaks,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: you know, her top half is against him.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: There's no way that was a real dance move. There's
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: no way. She broke her back last night, y'all. I
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: don't know how she stood.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Up right after that. It was a real dance move.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: It just wasn't executed properly. So either he didn't get
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: enough power bringing her to him or they were too
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: far apart or something happened. And I just felt like, yeah,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: it can be one mistake, but I felt like there
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: were other, that was just one example of the sloppiness
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: that I felt like. Derek did say to fix his
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: hand placement because it's true. Like hands are so important
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: in dance as is every part of your body. But
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like I am most drawn to like hands
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: and feet and then appearance, you know, he, he loves
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: being there. I just, I wasn't, This wasn't my favorite
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: dance of the night. And he did get a 21
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: out of 30.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Which was another very generous score, Trista. Yeah. Yeah. I
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: thought so. I think it's two different dances what he's
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: doing when he's performing in a baseball stadium. You know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: he's doing cute TikTok dances and we don't need him
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: to be like on point and get tens, right? When
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: he's in the baseball stadium, he is, he's playing baseball.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: And I am, listen, that takes a whole lot of
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: skill too, to be good at a sport and and
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: then perform and entertain at the same time. Those guys
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: must be so overstimulated and exhausted when they come off
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: of the baseball field. It is on my list. I've
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: told you this. I want to see a bananas baseball game.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I really want to do that. For me, it's not
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: translating to the dance floor. And I cannot with Emma.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I hope she's okay today. I hope that she can
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: walk and she doesn't need like a chiropractor because I
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: was really shocked by that move last night, the way
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: she bent in half backwards. I thought there's no way
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: this is a legit dance move. There's no way this
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: is something that has a real name.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do we call that? It is, it does.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: They could, I bet they will do a parody of it.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: If I were her, I would do a parody of
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: it or something on her Instagram because she's super, you know,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: engaged in Instagram and TikTok. I bet they could show
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: how it's done perfectly. And they probably had it done
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: perfectly in rehearsals, but it just so happened that when
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: they performed it live, it just didn't, it wasn't executed properly.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but I feel, I think you said it Perfectly.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Like it's not translating. It's just not, I don't know. I,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: I'm just not as drawn in as I love Emma and,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: and I want it. I, I still want to like
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: love their partnership and their dances, but I'm just not
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: as into their dances as I am with other people. Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Um, Tatiana and Jan were up next and they
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: did a jazz routine just like Sierra in the beginning.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: She did have a wig on. And at first I
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: kind of liked the bangs. I was like, maybe you
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: get the bangs, but Heather was saying that she wasn't
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: a huge fan. Um, uh, uh, you know, to each
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: their own, whatever. Um, I just, this one fell short
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: for me too, but I think it's because of the
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: jazz part of it. And maybe, maybe it's the jazz.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe like if.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Another choreographer had choreographed it, that it would have been
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: more exciting, but I just felt like it was really,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: it was slow.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like, I felt like, I needed more. I
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: needed more.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: It was not the transitions. I think Derek said the
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: transitions were wobbly and she is a great storyteller, but
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: the moves just.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Weren't hit very hard. It was soft. It wasn't, it
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't exciting to me. So here's what I found interesting
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: is that Carrie Ann said, you know, such a good
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: storyteller was what she said. It kind of missed for
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: me last night too. And what I said was, it
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: was like they were at a sock hop. Did you
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: ever go to a sock hop in school? I haven't,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: but I know what you're talking about. Okay. Well, my
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: middle school, that's what they did. It was just like
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: the middle school dance and you got to wear your
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: socks and you got to dance. That's like, that's what
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: it felt like to me last night. It felt very juvenile.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I did not think like why couldn't we have just
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: had like traditional jazz and put them in like a
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: traditional jazz costume and have them perform that way like
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: the desks and the cutie like we're in high school
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: kind of thing just didn't quite fit for me the
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: whole thing the whole thing I and I'm not touching
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: on any other skill because I think she also has
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: improved a lot she has yeah yeah just the whole
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: thing didn't quite fit for me but she got a
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: very generous score too she got 20 out of 30. Yeah.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was one of the lowest scores.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: I think she was tied for third from the bottom
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: or something like that last night. So yeah, I mean,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: I love seeing her improvement. I love that she's sharing
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: with people on Instagram about her body and how she
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: feels about her body and how people are relating to her.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: So I love her vulnerability there. This dance just wasn't...
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: It just felt very amateur compared to all the other dances.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: The other dances feel like professional, and hers felt very amateur.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, moving on. Connor and Riley.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: So we were talking about how they were on the
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: couch in the beginning, and it was like, oh, should
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: I be watching this?
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Because they are really young. I know. I legit was like,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, are they in high school? Like they,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: he was talking about like grinding and like, I get it.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? When you're like 14 and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: the first time you touch a girl's butt, you know
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: what I mean? And then when he stood up and
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: showed her how he was grinding, I was like, unnecessary, unnecessary.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: It was interesting that they chose that to be part
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: of their package, to be quite honest, because I, you know,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: I think it was brought up. Riley, was that something
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: you did back in Utah? I think she's a Mormon.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: She's like, no, I've never had a boy do that
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: to me before ever.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing just felt like a little
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: filthy to me, like them on the couch together. It
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: was also like oddly rehearsed for me.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: And then you flash forward to after they finished their
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: dance and We get them, you know, they're being interviewed
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: by Julianne and Julianne's like, okay, like, can you do
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: the body roll or the grinding or whatever she called it?
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: And like, Riley was like, I'm not even going to
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: do this with you. And then she started to, and
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: everyone is like dying laughing.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, these poor kids. These poor kids. That's
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: what you said. So that was my thoughts. Exactly, Trista.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: These poor kids. Kids. Right? They have done really well
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: in the competition so far. But last night was the
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: first time that I really saw the age difference between
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: them and some of the other kids. uh teams on
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: the show you know what i mean like poor kids
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: these poor kids.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: She is beautiful and a gorgeous dancer i felt very
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: similar to guillermo and whitney last night connor and riley
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: it seemed like riley was just dancing around him like
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: he wasn't like doing a lot he wasn't like a
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: leading man even though they talked about how he needed
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: to be a leading man was he feeling more of
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: the leading man and i was like know that I
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: saw the leading man come out there, but you know,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not on the judges.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: They talked a lot about his hands too. And I
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: know that I know nothing about technique, but I did
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: see that. So, you know, maybe I'm becoming a professional
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: now that I'm commenting on Dancing with the Stars, but
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: I did see it several times. And I know that
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: you notice it every single time. But with him in particular,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: I did see his hands. There were several turns where
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: like his hand was just like there. It was just
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: like there, not doing anything. A way of Carrie Ann say,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: I think she called it dead hands, right? Dead hands.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: And he needs to have energy in his hand. Like
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: it has to be throughout your body. And I think
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: she was right. She's right dead on with a dead hand.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: They even showed like a clip of him with his
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: hand kind of on his hip while his other hand
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: was doing the movement with her.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: And she was completely spot on. Can I just tell
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: you before we move on that our producer, Heather, just
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: schooled us. He is far from a kid. He is
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: 31 years old, Trista. So maybe we're not so filthy.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: He is far, far from a kid. He's 31, okay?
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: He's 31. Okay, Connor. Fine. Grind away, my friend. Grind away. 53-year-old. Okay,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: we're moving on to Julia and Ezra. And, you know,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: I have been team Julia since the beginning of the season.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: And I will hate to even say it out loud, Trista. Oh, no.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: This is where she kind of slipped for me last night,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: you know, and I love her. I love a redeeming story.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: I love that she is coming out here and she
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: is being honest and she is showing, you know, that
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: softer side of herself as an actress and doing Dancing
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: with the Stars. But yeah, she's another one for me
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: that it just didn't line up last night. I don't
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: know what you think.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's the same for me. It's been
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: that way. In previous episodes where I love her, I
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: love their partnership. I just am not fully engaged when
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I'm watching their routines. She did get a good score,
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: at least compared to like Connor and Guillermo and Tatiana.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: She got a 21 out of 30. So three sevens.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: I hate, I can relate to her so much in
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: terms of like the negative thoughts that she, that pop
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: in her head. And I'm glad that she's sharing that.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: And so that we all can relate to her because- Human.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: How can you? Human.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: She's showing us that she's human. Right. And I love-
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: I love being able to feel like I'm not alone
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: because other people are talking about what I struggle with.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: So I love that she's sharing that.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Um, but I just feel like, um, I don't know
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: if it's the pro cause I think Ezra is amazing,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: but like when you compare Maura and Mark to Julia
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: and Ezra, like whether Mark is just an like the
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: perfect pro and he can bring anything out of anyone
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: or if mara just had this technique in like pushed
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: down so far that she could only have it brought
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: out by him or if it's just like julia's ability
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: compared to mara's i don't know but i'm just when
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: we compare which is what we're doing essentially on this
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: show by giving um you know marks for their judging
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: i feel like Yeah.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer she'll be around.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I think there's the other part of the show where
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: like I, whatever, I've said it several times. People are
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: improving and I am seeing improvement. And when you have
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: a night like last night where you see several exceptional dances,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: if you aren't on that level at this point, you
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: All right, last but certainly not least is Amber and Pasha. And, yeah,
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: I love that the skating community is kind of rallying
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: around her, that they loved her dance from last week.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: She danced to Hero, which is one of, like, the
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: all-time favorite. I know, weren't you just like, when a
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: hero comes along? I was like, oh. So good. Love, love, love.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Such a good song.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: I felt like she got great scores. She got two
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: eights and a seven. I felt like you, and the
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: way I described it on our chat last night is
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: you could see her thinking about what's coming next. And
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see someone thinking about what's coming next.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: I just want to see what's coming next.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: I felt like you could, especially when she was preparing
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: for when she, like her head was down and her
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: foot was like.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Straight up in the air. A very interesting move, I'll
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: have you know. It breaks it up. Like, it's like,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: it doesn't, there's no flow.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: There's no transition. Like, her transition, she was just standing there.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Right, and she had to take a beat to kind
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: of catch her balance before she was able to pull.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: It was... I don't think I could do that, Trista. Well,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: definitely no. I mean, maybe I'll try it after we
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: hang up on the wall here in my living room, but...
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Please don't. Please don't. We don't want to have the ambulance.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Her skill, right? Her skill, her flexibility, her... I didn't
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: like how at the end of the dance, it was
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: this whole setup... Yeah. There were several beats where I
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: was like, is something wrong? Right. And then she pulled
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: the elegant move, which is not something that I have seen.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Just why? I know.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: I know. And even when she pushed out, he was
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: holding her while she was leaning outward.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: It was a little stumble. And it just wasn't pretty
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: to me. I don't know.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm looking for pretty when I see the girls dancing.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: these slower ballroom genres. Like, I don't know. I, I
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: really do like her, but I, this dance, like I want,
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see you thinking about it.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I want to just see you dance. So I noticed
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: that Carrie Ann said she wants to see more connection
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: between the two of them. And I would say that
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: is lacking for me, especially when we see it so
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: apparently in people like Mara and Mark and Tyler and,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: and Sharna. Yeah. Yeah. Theirs is not apparent to me.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: And maybe that is, she has said from the get-go
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: when she is on the, on the ice skating rink,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: like she's all by herself. She doesn't have to worry
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: about a team teammate to perform with or making that connection.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: She is used to doing things on her own. And
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: I think that is apparent in her dancing too, because
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I don't really see, you know, the connection and the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: chemistry between the two of them. Like I see it
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: in other members on the show. And so, yeah, it'll
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see how far she goes, you know?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad you kind of prepped me for Dancing
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: with the Stars in our first episode because I am
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: seeing the growth and the progress in their skill and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: their skill set and the dancing and the, you know,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: the higher scores and everything else. I'm seeing the way
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: the show progresses and And I think I'm able to
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: kind of see where I'm not so sure some of
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: these other celebrities will be able to to show up. Yeah, no,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: So top of the leaderboard last night was Maura and Mark,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: Ezra and Danny and Harry and Jenna.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Not shocking.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: And then the bottom was Tatiana, Connor and Guillermo. I mean,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: I said, spoiler alert, Guillermo didn't go home, even though
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: we were thinking he was going to go home. And shockingly,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: if you turn on Instagram and you follow anyone from
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars, you will see reels pop up
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: where people are.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Just shocked that Ciara went home. I am right there
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: with you. You know what I mean? I honestly was
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: kind of mad because we're at this point, I've said
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: it again, we're at this point in the show where
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: we need to see some real skill. And when you
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: think about the two of them together, Guillermo, I'm sorry,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Guillermo and Sierra, the skill that was shown last night
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: is on another level between the two of them. I
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: don't believe that Sierra deserved to go home. And what
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: we are doing is a competition show, right? It is
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: dancing with the stars. Yeah. She danced. Guillermo did not. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm alone here, if I should
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: be leaning more into his sportsmanship and his attitude and
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: how he's just out there having a lot of fun.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: But I feel like she worked really hard. She showed
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: up every week. She improved. And I don't agree with this.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: I don't agree with this. Maybe people will call in
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: 8445 almost and let us know if you agree. I
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: honestly was kind of upset, Trista. Yeah.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: No, I think a lot of people share that. that
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: sentiment that she shouldn't have gone home. I think she
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: definitely shares that sentiment.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: I think that that's probably, you know, last week we
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: were talking about when Britt and, or maybe it was
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: the week before when Britt and Taylor left and why
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: were people crowding around Britt and what were they saying?
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: And I think they were just offering up sympathies, but
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: I also feel like there's probably a lot going on
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: in the ballroom where people are probably like, shocked that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Guillermo isn't going home.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Guillermo is shocked that he hasn't gone home,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: you know? Yeah. I wonder what the conversation was between
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: him and Sierra last night. Was he like, dude, I
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: am so sorry? Or was he just like, yeah, man,
• 1:03:11

• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: believe it? You know? I'm sure he is.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: And he has nothing to do with the fact that
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: Sierra is going home. You know, they're all just waiting
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: to hear their fate. But it comes down to votes.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: So people have to vote. And I think, like I said,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Guillermo has this fan base of a.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: Really long time on Jimmy Kimmel.
• 1:03:35

• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: been on that show for a long time as his sidekick.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: And people connect to him because of that show and
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Sierra is like new to not new exactly to the
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: scene but I think maybe people aren't just aren't voting
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: for they weren't voting for her they were either voting
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: for Connor or they were voting for Maura or you
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: know whoever they were voting for they weren't voting for
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: her so I feel like it just proves that people
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: have to.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Vote yeah I don't think that I could suffer through
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: another one of these like terrible eliminations Yeah.

  Speaker 2: happens in the ballroom this week. And if the votes finally,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: the votes finally align with what.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: The judges are giving them for their votes.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: You know, like it's not just the judges votes, it's
