  Speaker 3: Hi, Charity, Hello, I'm so excited to be here.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to see you again.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It's been it's been a little bit right since we
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: were out and where was it nor.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Cal where we were at last time together, trying to
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: go learning a little bit about that.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: It wasn't too great, but I got a few hits.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I thought you guys were great. You guys put some
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of the best video footage together from that day.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: By the way, like Daisy was crushing it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I was like, you know, if there's if I'm not golfing,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: at least I can produce content or help with this.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: So yeah, there you go.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you definitely did it. I'm so glad to have
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you on.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: You know, before we get started with the recap of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: last night's show, let's talk a little bit about your
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: experience on the show.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: So you know, you came right off of being the.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Bachelorette, and of course you know that was a wonderful
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: success for you in many many ways, and then then
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you rolled right on to Dancing with the Stars and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you had a great run.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, was it was it really cool experience for you?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: It was? It was. It was both great but also
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: very hard.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: And I think we hear a lot of people talk
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: about how hard it is, but it's one of those
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: things that you can't really like understand unless you're actually
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: like in it or going through it. And so like
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I definitely came off of like a high horse, like
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: when I ended my season as the Bachelorette, and I
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: had like two weeks in between, like when I literally
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: came out as a public couple with Dowton until I
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: had to have my first like official like rehearsal, which
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: was crazy because obviously, like you're experiencing so many emotions
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: from obviously reliving all that back. But then I'm like, oh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I loant to hop into a whole new experience and
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: that was crazy. But I will say, like I would
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: have not gotten through that without Doton.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: He was an amazing support.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: But this show, it's so it's so fun in so
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: many ways, but it's extremely hard and it's very demanding.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Days are like obviously the best part of it, like
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: designing your costumes. Like rehearsals are very intense and sometimes
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: can be brutal, but like you know, when you're in
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: the ballroom, it's literally like there's no other experience. I
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: can't like describe how like good to a feeling it is.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. I love I love hearing that. I mean,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you know, pardon me for not knowing this, but did
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you have dance experience in the past before you went
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: on the show?
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so, I guess in dance world they don't like
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: to consider cheerleading, which is not it's clearly not the
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: same thing. I did competitive cheerleading growing up, so that
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: did like obviously place me a little bit, if you
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: want to say, have a little upper hand, but no
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: dance class. I never took like ballet, jazz, none of that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Like I almost essentially had two left feet coming into
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: my very.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: First rehearsal because I was like, what hell.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: So much harder than my cheering well you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Know, I mean cheerleading.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, so my sister my mom was like a
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: competitive cheerleading coach, my sister competitive cheering. They were national champions,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: world champions back in the day, and so I know
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: how difficult demanding.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That can be.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I think maybe from a choreography standpoint, like obviously you
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you were able to probably learn choreography better than like me.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And if I go out there, I'd be like, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I won't even know what to do.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So I'm sure I had to be a cool experience
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: for you to like kind of get those muscles flexed again.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: For sure. For sure a lot of muscle memory.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I can only imagine.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think I'm one of the few leads
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: who you know, Trista and Andrew Firestone and I were
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: all in the same season, like literally like in the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: same year. We all filmed our shows, and you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and they made the very wise choice of putting Trista
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: on Dancing with the Stars instead of Andrew or myself.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But I think about a lot of times, I'm always like,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, I always say this to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Trista after every episode I watch.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, I just feel like I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: got it in me somehow.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know where you like low, like secretly want
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: to do it, like were you yeah?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And in fact, you know, they they did a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: few years later, they sort of soft approached me with
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: my ex wife, who was an actress on All My Children.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: They approached us as kind of like being a couple
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: on the show, and she was not into it at all.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: She's like nothing. Yeah. I was like really, because I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: mean I think I could kill this thing. I'm gonna
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: be a little great dancer.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So in my mind, I'm still I think maybe it's
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: because I was never on the show. I've not been
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: proven wrong that I would have just been spectacular.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I watched a show and I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: watched I mean I remember watching you on.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: The show, and you, you know, the lifts and everything
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: else that everybody does are just mind blowing to me.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: You know, it's so insane.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: And then also when you just think about like the
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: schedule of the show, like how quick we have to
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: learn things.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So it's like a lot of those Yeah, like it
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: was in me because I was like not, I guess, fearful.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Of doing them.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: But a lot of the lifts are also very different
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: in dance world versus like cheering, and I feel like
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: they're almost a little bit harder in dance world. So
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: like to know, I had like maybe three days to
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: learn something and art and was like, we're just gonna
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: try it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, you know, I think about it too,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: like the one of the bigger differences. And I said
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: this about Alana's routine last week when when they had
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: her on the table starting and she jumped off the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: table and stuff.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You're doing all this.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: In heels as a woman too, which is like, that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: got to be a world of difference than you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: throwing on some rebox and jumping around. You know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: It is always says like when I first like we
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: start off with just obviously either socks or just like
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: your bare feet or sneakers. But in the moment that
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: you like have to break in your shoes. It's like
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: learning how to walk like you It's so hard.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So I can't even imagine it because those shoes do
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not look comfortable.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: You know, you get like the worst like feet in
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: toe blisters.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It's awful.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: It's really like not fun.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know you did a great job when
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you were on the show, and we have of course, Scott, we'll.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Just put it out there right now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have a little bit of a spoiler alert,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: So if someone has not watched last night's episode of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars, which I believe is episode five,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we are going to talk about who was eliminated last night.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: We are going to discuss that. But let's get right
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: into it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: So I think one of the coolest things that kicked
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: off the show for me last night was a guy
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that I've become friends with over the years was Mark
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Ballas came back to the show as a guest judge
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and I we've we've talked at length, Tristan I have
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: about how much we love the huff family on this show.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Like I just think that they are just doing such
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a great job. You know Derek of course you know
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: from the from the judging perspective, and of course his
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: beautiful sister doing the hosting, which I think she's spectacular
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: at it and I love seeing her on the show.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But last night was dedication night. Yeah, did you guys
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: do that? During your season?
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: We had a similar like I guess a prior to
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: it was more most memorable year, So like, obviously what
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: year like stood out? And so if you wanted to
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: dedicate a dance. You could have done it then to someone,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: but I did. I ended up dedicating one of my
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: dances to dott And, which was like on Whitney Houston Night,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: So that was like later down the road, but it
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: was kind of different.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: We had Most Memorable Year instead. Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, for the record, I love you too as
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a couple. By the way, I got to hang on.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome, But you know, it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Would have to be so difficult, I would imagine, And
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: we've talked about this a little bit on our podcast too,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: you know, and you were on the side of it
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: that I think would be an equally challenging part of it, right,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: like your your new betrothed. You know, this person loves
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you is sitting there watching you do a lot of
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you know, very close and suggestive style moves with another man.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, that had to be tough on Dotton. But
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I know he's a confident dude anyway, but it's.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Like gotta be tough, right, I mean, I would.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Have a hard time, way more harder for me than
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: it was him, which I think he's like just so secure,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: which I love, But for me, I like, definitely it
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: like pushed me out of a little bit out of
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: my comfort zone because I was like, oh my goodness,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Like this isn't my person, but I'm like having to like.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Roll my hips on him. I'm like, I don't know
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: what's going.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: This.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely a little bit of like a learning curve.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: But then you get to a point obviously, like because
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: you spend so much time with them that at some
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: point it just is natural or it has to come
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: after you have no choice.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: But yeah, definitely hard for sure.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I could definitely see that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So last night, of course, Ballast joins the crew, which
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: was pretty cool, and he hasn't been since twenty twenty two,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and so I thought that was pretty awesome.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And what was What were some dances that stuck out
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: for you last night?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: But we can go through we'll talk about everybody a
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: little bit, but what were some ones that you loved?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I'd have to say Danny's Contemporary. I was
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: like genuinely shocked, like he was probably one of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: one dances apart from Derek and Hayley's and we'll get
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: to that one, but that like kind of made me tear.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Up and I was like, oh, I wasn't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: I think I had lower expectations, maybe just because, like
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I understand how difficult it is to emote. He's an athlete,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: so it's like one of those things that's just a
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: little bit maybe more challenging.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: But he absolutely crushed it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, Whitney's like choreography is always insane when it comes.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: She's so awesome, yeah, so good.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: So I think this was definitely one of the ones
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: that really, like I was like kind of moved to
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: tears a little bit.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Chandlers.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I am just like probably her biggest fan.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I love her too. Yeah, we love her so.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Good, like so tough, and I know, like she obviously
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: has a little bit of a dance background, but yeah
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: obviously nonetheless, like learning ballroom is completely different, but her
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: dance obviously I love the song that she chose, but
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: her dedicating it to her mom, like it was just
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: so beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, obviously Joey, we know, Joey's like
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: literally crushing it, which is crazy.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I mean I never you know, I've actually still not
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: been at him, but I never looked at this dude
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: on the show and thought, I mean, I bet he's
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a really good dancer like that one had never crossed
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: my mind.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: No, like, and I think, like, obviously I Gotten and
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: him are really good friends. I'm friends with him and Kelsey,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: but like giving them like pointers or giving Joey pointers
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: going into this, he seemed like so nervous or a
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: little bit like hesitant. But I'm like you had this
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: in you all along, like you were not nervous. It's
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: like he he is actually crushing it, which is so
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: he's a beast.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: On the show.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Like we've said a few times, like you just talked
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: about Chandler too, Like there are a few people on
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the show where you're like, sometimes you forget who the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: pro is right now, and Joey is her choreography and
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: everything is i know, a big part of this. But
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: she's making him look so good. But he's also really
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: stepping up and delivering, you know, And.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Then you bring up a really good point. I love
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: it when like the pros can recognize what their like
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: celebs talent or like strong suits are because obviously that
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: helps him stand out in the competition, and choreography is
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: a big part of it. And Jenna's obviously doing so
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: amazing with Joey, So yeah, it's so good.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I love that you guys are close with with uh,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: with Kelsey and Joey too, because you know, obviously there
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I love.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I love their story too, and I love I love
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that he dedicated his song to her, and you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it was really touching.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And I thought that he, you know, the longer he
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: stays in this show, and and I feel the same
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: way about Jen too. You know, the longer they stay
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in the show, the more we feel like we're actually
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: getting to know them, you know, because it's like, you
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you know, the little behind the scenes packages kind of
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: show you you know, who the personality is. Yeah, that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and that stuff you don't really get to see even
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: on The Bachelor or The Bachelor atte you know. So
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I've enjoyed that part of it too, because I you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it was always kind of like, well, this.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Guy seems pretty cool on the show.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You know, he's got some people that you know, are
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: really good friends of them that I like, you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: so he must be a good dude.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: And to see all of it coming through is great.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: No, he's he's doing so good. And obviously I can't
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: forget Jin. I think she's doing so good. I feel
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: like maybe this week was a little bit more emotional
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: for her because I could could kind of tell maybe
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: her disposition was a little bit like different Like last week, honestly,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: like her pasta double was so good, I was like,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: what this is crazy, the knee walks was amazing. But
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: this week I feel like she still did so good,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: but I could tell like maybe this just like probably
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: hit her more. She was probably feeling a lot of
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: emotions with like obviously recapping like her life and like
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: how much was meant to her, But nonetheless like she's
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: doing good, and I just love her and Sasha's partnership.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I really like to such a good guy, Like.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He's just yeah, big brother figure, you know.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Definitely big brother. Like I don't see the show me
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: as that. I guess they're trying to push, but like
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I definitely like.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Just him as a person is just a good person.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So I agree.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I think those are my tops. I feel like I
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: might be forgetting into.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: No no, it was great.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I mean I thought, I mean you and I agree
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: on all those. By the way, those are my favorites
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: as well. I thought Steven did a great job. You know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: he's I like him and Riley, I like their story,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: and I like, I like the whole thing with them.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: You know. You mentioned Danny, which I loved, and his
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: his dedication to his coach, and I'm just gonna go
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: through my notes. Douy Howard, so Dwightharten powered Danielle. So
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: those are two that you know, they've been They've been
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: kind of on a roller coaster lately.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: They really did really bad. This one was sort of
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like right in the middle. Yeah, I know. And he's funny. Man,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: what a great personality he has.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, And I thought that was interesting. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: love their hype difference and how they play it up.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know how she does it. That's why I
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: say like, Danny's probably one of the most talented female
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: pros because she gets like these unrealistic barriers and she
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: overcomes every single time.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: It's crazy every time.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: But they had one of the lowest scores, you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: from last night, which I thought was kind of I
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: get it, I mean, because I feel like that hype
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: differences is pretty substantial, you know, And and so that
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: kind of creates a little bit of an issue. But
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: another couple, Brooks and Club like those two clearly dating.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: It's clear. It's clear as there.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Even the sisters are like, you know, it's also they're
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: hanging out with their brother in law.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: But they are a beautiful couple.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, they really are. And then, you know, last,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: but not least, let's talk about Alana. Alana and Allen.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: You know, she didn't she didn't have like her her
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: worst night. She had a really good night. And I think,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: you know, after coming off of the emotion of the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: week previous, Yeah, you know, I kind of thought, quite honestly,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I thought this week. Originally I had pegged her to
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: go home the following week and and but then after
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: she was so emotional and stuff, and I thought, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the people at home would get to see her and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: get to see that. I thought that that might keep
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: her around a little bit longer. But you know, unfortunately,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you know that wasn't the case, right. Were you surprised
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: by the elimination.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Well it was it was Brooks and Gleb that got eliminated.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I yes, and no, And I think because.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: A lot of people were probably like it was just
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: so in our face, and I think out of everybody
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: that yeah, like I think like people like you said,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: they really want to connect with like emotion, and that's
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: something that I learned even on my season, Like they
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: don't care how well the dancer you are. They want
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: to see like you being vulnerable. They want to see
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: you improve. And she's a beautiful dancer. Don't get me wrong, but.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I think it is.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, initially it started off that way and then it
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: like kind of just shift pages completely, just like this
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: show Man's and I was like, I don't know anything
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: about her besides just her and glob So yeah, I
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: kind of wanted to see maybe like more improvement and
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: see her like stay around longer. But I guess I'm
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: like kind of torn because it's at that point in
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: the competition where there's the less and less couples, Like
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: You're always probably be genuinely shocked, like with who goes home?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I mean I thought I really did think it would
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: come down between Alana and Dwight Howard as the going
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: home couple. That's how I had it playing out in
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: my head. So the Brooks wasn't surprised me. But but
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: at the same time, it wasn't because like you said,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know what I was saying about the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: week before when she showed so much emotion.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's really what kept Alana there.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And then but I did I thought, you know, other
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: than the fact that they're incredibly cute together and.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Everything, I kind of thought, you know, Dwight Howard.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Was probably you know, at that point where it was like,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: you know, So now I feel like, right now, if
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I had to pick and I and I love doing
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: this because I've been right most times.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I was not right this time.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: But now I feel like it's coming down to the
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: better dancers. Legit, better dancers are going to stick around
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: longer as opposed to, like you said, like the like
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the couple of thing was probably just a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: little played out, you know.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: So we've got one person we didn't talk about too, Washedra, right,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: we didn't talk about Padra. I love her too. You
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: talk about personality really coming through.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of times I think the Real Housewives,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: unfortunately for them, when they are on this show, they're
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: missed there.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Uh. I don't even know how to say it, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I think the perception of them is wrong.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And and she's come out as so much fun
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and like, you know, its just.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Like, I didn't even know who she was, and I'm like,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I love her, you know.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when you're looking at the score.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So last everyone was, you know, mid thirties, a lot
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: of like Jen and all, we're both thirty two's, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Joey and jenn at are thirty six. Brooks was at
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a thirty two, you know, sent home Phaedra and Valve
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: thirty two.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Dwight, Howard and Danielle I.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Had the lowest score of twenty nine, and then the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: rest were you know, thirty six, thirty three.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody else was kind of right up in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that same ballpark.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: So if you go my scores alone, looking at next
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: week's competition, right, you've got a twenty Well, we have
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: a twenty nine with Dwight, and we have a thirty
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: two with Phaedra and a thirty two I think with Alana.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so those are our three.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Oh and Jen, I'm sorry, and so those are our
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: four that had technically, I guess the lowest score. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: what's your prediction, Like, who do you think? Okay, let's
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: get two predictions from you. First. First, let's see if
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you had to give me two couples that it comes
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: down to to be possibly sent home next week.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: You don't have to pick one if you don't want him.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, And then I want your pick for the two
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: couples that you think will be the final two.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, I can. I can easily do the couples that
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I might feel like are going to be.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: In the bottom two next week, which obviously it can
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: change based off the theme in the style of dance,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: but looking at just obviously last night, I would have
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: to say Dwight and then unfortunately maybe Phaedra, Like I
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: hate that because I'm like I want her to like
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: stay in.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I do too.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna need like a breakout dance, like I
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: haven't seen that from them too yet. Dwight's like first
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: like performance was insane, so yeah, I was like, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: think we want to go back to that. And then
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: like with Phaedra, I feel like, obviously, like what you
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: said is like, she's so fun and she's so captivating.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: We know her, excuse me, on so many reality TV
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: shows and she has such a big personality, So I'm like,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I want her to have a solid dance to where
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: we can see that and where she has fun because
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I think right now. It's like even for me, this
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: is something I struggle with. Is like she like kind
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: of plays it a little safe, and it's like that's
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: because it's.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Like it's this is something new to everyone.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: It's so hard, but like it's at that point where
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: it's like you got to you gotta do something.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, you got to pull all the stops
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: at this point. A Yeah, I think I think you're right.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I think it probably would be between Dwight, Phaedra, and Alana.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: And but I think that because Alana was so vulnerable,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I think America might be you know, and and and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: maybe that's that, maybe that's what happens this week, Like
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: maybe all of a sudden we see a vulnerability to
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Phaedra that, you know, because I think people really like her,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: and I know I do, I'm a fan, and I didn't,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: like I said, I didn't even know really I knew
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the name, but I didn't necessarily know who she was
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and what she had done. But if I saw another
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: side to her, I might be like, oh my gosh,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: you know, like she really wants to be here, this
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: means something to her, you know. And then Dwight, I mean,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: you know, his family package is so fantastic. How he
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: why he's on the show in the first place, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: everything else, and and he's so damn likable. I mean,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I love him. So it would suck at this point
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: for me for any of them to go home. But
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I can't see one of the other dancers going home now.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Oh no, And I need to do like my final two,
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: which is so hard, So I'm like, I could probably
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: give you Final four it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I want to make it a little harder.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do a girl and a boy, and
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: so obviously it's Chandler and Joey, Like, yeah, that's just
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: like too easy.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: No, I agree.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I mean I don't know how Chandler's not in the finals.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know how Joey's not in the finals. I
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: think that top third spot is still up for grabs.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I hope it's Jen, Like how how iconic would that be?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: You know, Oh my god, it'd be amazing. But you know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know how that works.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Like at a certain point, I wonder sometimes if the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation fans can cancel each other out, you know
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like that's the thing if we only
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: vote five for Joey and five for Jen or whatever,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and then you know somebody else is getting all ten. Yeah,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: so it'd be interesting to see how that plays out too.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: But Okay, I like your picks. I think I think
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: we're I think we're spot on with each.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Other right now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I just have a Lana in there potentially for a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: for a bottom you know, next week.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Which is wow.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: That's what I feel like, is like sustaining her like
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: she's obviously like so like brave, and she's doing something
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: out of her comfort zone too and like vulnerability, but
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: also like she's like almost a miracause like sweetheart at this.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Point, like it's totally behind her.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: So I think they want that, and they like want
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: to keep her in the competition in hopes to like
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: continue seeing that. So I really do think that she
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: might feel around longer than we like my all thing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, I like it when it's someone that
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I that I like that my heart goes into you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: and so and for me, I mean, now I was
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: going to ask you this too. I've asked trist of
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: this before too, because she was on the show obviously,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And can you imagine how hard of a job job
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: it is to be the judge, because like you're sitting there,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: someone that you've committed your entire life to is dance right,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and now you have someone like me, let's say, all
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: of a sudden coming in there and not you know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: adhering to any of the rules even though I'm trying
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: and I'm just murdering it. And you have to be like, hey,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: your shoes look great, like they always find something nice
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to say. Yea, And was it I mean, did you
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: with your experience as a cheerleader stuff like that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it was.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: You know, you recognize good choreography, you recognize I'm sure
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: not so great choreography, but it was it a difference
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: for you. Like now when you look back and watch it,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh my god, those judges, you know, like
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: they got such hard job.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, and like and that's why I appreciate, Like I'm
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: referencing back to last night, That's why I appreciate Mark
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: so much. I think he, like, hands down, gave the
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: best like feedback from anyone and like, yeah, like you know,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Carrie in Bruno, Derek, they're all fantastic, but like Mark,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: the way he was able to provide like constructive criticism,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: but what it didn't come across as like, oh, you're
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: doing something wrong. It's like, hey, this is you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: I see like the potential in you, and that is
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: so encouraging coming into like a space where you, as
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: a non dancer, know nothing about and you're like trying
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: your best. And I know everyone who goes out there
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: is doing their best, but it sometimes doesn't always maybe
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: look that way, like the way he was able to
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: just like still uplift people, but all so give them
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: things that they actually need to fix. I was like,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: why didn't you weren't you on my season?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I know he's always been so good at that too.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: He's always been one of the favorite pros.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you go to gracious but also like yeah, like
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: uplifting at the same time, but say, hey, this is
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: what I want to see from you, and I need
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: to see more. I need to like, you know, giving
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: criticism in the best ways.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Oh totally. I think you're absolutely right.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought he was a great addition to the night,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and I thought that the show was a great show.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's kind of interesting because it
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: went it went to the streaming platform for a while
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: there and then came back to the television platform, and
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: it's like, I think it came back stronger, you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: since it's been back on the TV side of things,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: that maybe maybe I'm not saying that it was something.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: That needed to go away for a minute and then
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you know, to come back someway stronger.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: But it's interesting watching it now that it's back on
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the television format and I'm like really enjoying it, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: like I've said it there at night, it's like destination
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: viewing for me right now.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you play that or night.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: That was like I never thought I'd be like so dedicated,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: but obviously being on the show, I'm like I have
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: no choices. I got to see what's going on. Yeah yeah,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: every single Tuesday.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Well plus you got I mean, you know a lot
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: of the casts, the pros, and the judges have all
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: become your friends, so it's got to be really cool
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: for you to see them. And of course Joey is
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: you know, a good friend of yours and doctors too,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: so that's gotta be great to see him doing so well.
