• 0:19
  Speaker 2: You as well? I mean last time I saw you,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I think it was at Chris Harrison's wedding.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Was that right, I think so? Yeah, except of course
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: on Instagram?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, we live well on president there.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I've been a part of Bachelor Nation for the better
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: part of a decade and you probably have me doubled
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: on that. You're you're a lady of first right were
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you on the first ever season of the Bachelor? And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: then were you the first ever bachelorette? And then were
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you also on the first ever season of Dancing with
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the Stars.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's a lot of fun, that's a lot of
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: first and I was the first ever kicked off Dancing
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: with the Stars.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, basically the show is this is similar
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to what it was back then, but it's also much different,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: maybe much more popular than it was back then.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Was it heartbreaking?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: To be the first one off or were you like,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, I've done enough TV over the last year.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Well, actually the TV came later. Well, Dancing
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: with the Stars TV came later. We had been married
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: for at least I think two years, so it was
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: there was a couple of year break in there. But yes,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I was heartbroken. I was a dancer. I danced for
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the Miami Heat and some professional stuff and I was
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I was so heartbroken. I wanted to be there. It's
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I was, let's say, what the what's the right word?
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I was. I received a phone call from Andrea Wong,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: who was at the time the head of unscripted at ABC,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: and if if you got a phone call from her,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: then you paid attention, right. So we have a phone
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: call and she said, You're going to do this show
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and I was like, wait what I am? What's this show?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: At the time, it was Strictly Come Dancing in on
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the BBC and super super popular overseas, and they wanted
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: to bring it to the United States. And even though
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I was a dancer and I had lived in Miami
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: for seven years, I mean I knew what the chow
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: chaw was and like you know some of the dances,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: but I really didn't know anything about ballroom, and I
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: just thought, this is either gonna soar or it's gonna
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: fall flat on its face. So we'll wait and see.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: And obviously it is soaring. I think a huge part
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: of that is the pros. I know a huge part
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: of that is the pros. We all get connected to
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: them and they're just so talented. But yeah, to be
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to be part of the first show was amazing, even
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: though I was heartbroken.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: What was it that you think got you eliminated first?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I had of you being so good because
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you had a dance background.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: You know, I wasn't that good. I don't think I
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: was that good at ballroom. Like I said, I had
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: no knowledge of ballroom, and even though I was a
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: professional dancer, I did not have the technique. Like my
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: daughter's a competitive dancer, and the technique that they have
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: to have these days to compete in dance is insane.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, at that point, I don't even know that
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I knew how to spot when I turned, which is
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: like pretty much necessary when you're a dancer. So I
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: wasn't I wasn't technically trained. I loved dancing, so I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: brought the passion for it and the desire to actually
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: learn and be there because I wanted to learn something
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: new about something that I loved. I think a big
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: part of it is I had a really hard time
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: with dancing with a man who I wasn't married to,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: because it made my husband feel really uncomfortable, and I
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: voiced that, and I feel like Louis and I like,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I feel like you want to you root for the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: people who have great chemistry with their partners, at least
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I do. I feel like the people who go all
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the way. Maybe they have some speed bumps, but they
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: have great chemistry. And I think Louie and I just
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: butted heads a lot because I was really uncomfortable. The
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: second dance I did was the rumba, and the rumba
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: if you know anything about the rumba, it's like the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: most intimate, I believe, of all of the dances, like
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you really need. And I also have no acting ability whatsoever,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And I feel like a huge part of this show
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: also is the ability to tell a story while you're
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: dancing and to be able to act like a certain
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: part in your in your particular dance and for the rumba.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I needed to act like I was Louise's lover or
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: love interest, and I just was so uncomfortable with that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: So I feel like people probably saw that and were like, yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: she can go.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It's interesting that you talk about that, because so often
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: on the show, like every show, there's usually like a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: showmance that happens between celebrity and dancer, like it's it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: or like there's rumblings of it, And so I can understand.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I can understand the concern for you, and then I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: can also understand the empathy that you would have for
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: for your husband having to experience it. I have to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: experience it all the time with my wife, who like
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: makes out and like has sex scenes.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: On with, you know, like other people on film.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But I've been blessed recently that the leading men that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: she's had to be romantic with I don't think are
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: interested in in her.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So that was also something that I kept telling Ryan.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Louis wasn't out at the time, like he hadn't officially
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: come out, but I knew that he was gay. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I was telling Ryan like, hey, listen, even if you're
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: worried about this, please don't be because there's no reason
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: The last show Sarah did, she did with Jonathan Groff,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: who is an absolutely phenomenal actor and it's been in everything.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And I told him, you know, I went to the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: opening night and I was like, I'm really happy. I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: really happy that you're the person she has to kiss
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: for the next five months on Broadway. And Sarah said, yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: he's probably more attracted to you than me.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, can I try? Can I see you? Yeah?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Well, do you play Connie Francis today?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: So what would you.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Go back on the show if you were invited or
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is that time coming?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Gone?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Gosh, I would love to be on the show, just
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: to be surrounded by so much talent and to be
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: in that stage, like it's just so exciting. I know
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you've seen the shows live, you know, it is so
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: exciting to be there. It is extremely stressful, and I
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: didn't deal with half, maybe three quarters of the stress
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: that they deal with, because as you continue on, you
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: have to learn dances like that. And you know, I've
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: been out of the dance world for a long time.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I watch my daughter, but I don't pick up dances
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: like you know, constantly anymore, So I think it would
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: be really hard. Also, so back in the day, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: had really bad back problems. I ended up getting a
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: long bar fusion, So who knows, Like, and please, I'm
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: fifty three years old, so it's my body is not
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: the way that it used to be. It doesn't bend
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't have the strength and all of that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: So it would be hard. But I would love to
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: be part of it, just to just to be part
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: of the energy and excitement.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they need a redemption season, like people like I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: feel like got screwed. I want them to do that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: in Traders so then I can go back and not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah in the second episode exactly, let's talk about the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: process of working on that show. Can you shed some
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: light into learning these dances when you know it's not
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: something that comes like completely naturally to you in terms
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of like you don't know something you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Know the chacha or whatever.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, Yeah, talk us through that, because it seems
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: like that would be really really hard.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Really really hard. And listen, back in the day, they
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: had no budget, right, so like literally I think the
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: budget was this tiny compared to like how big it
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: is now. Louis had to pay. He lived in Utah
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: at the time I was in Vail, and he had
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to pay for his own hotel rooms for his travel
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: from Utah to Colorado for to teach me my dances,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: our dances and to clean them and everything. So now
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you go to LA, you live there while you're while
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: you're learning, and you're rehearsing every single day, like ten
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: twelve hours. I feel like a day, right at least,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: and we would he would come to Colorado, would teach
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: me my routine, we would have like a couple hours rehearsal,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: and he'd go home. Like it was not like now.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: So I feel like, at least if I did it now,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I would have a little bit of a leg up
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: because I would be in rehearsal a lot more. And
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: that's when you learn, and that's when you can clean
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: and actually feel comfortable dancing the dance. But back then,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: we had no budget and I even had to ask
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: around to see where we could rehearse. They weren't providing
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: us with a dance studio. So it's kind of crazy
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: how that has changed. I think now, you know, like
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I said, they go to LA, they're put up wherever
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: they live, and they're in the studio, and then they're
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: at the actual like filming studio, you know all the time,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: you know, setting up whatever, setting up the numbers and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: all of that. So and they're so present on social
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: media this last season. I was loving all of their
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: content because so much of it as original. Whoever is
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: doing their content on social media? I think it's just
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: the pros, or maybe it's the clubs too, But I
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: loved what they were doing because it was fun and
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: new and original and funny, and I just loved all
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: of that. So I feel like that part of it too,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: has really elevated the show.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Are you watching the next bro? I am, but like,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: were you watching it before we asked you to come
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and do No?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: No? But but I wanted to because I was always
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I've been a massive fan of So you think you
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: can dance from the from the get go? So sad
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: that that is ending, But so you think you can
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: dance any dance show. I was watching World of Dance.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I think that was Derek Cuff and j Low. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm missing one, but any dance reality show
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I was all about and I had it on my
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: radar when I got the phone call, I was like, Okay,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: this is the excuse for me to start binging, and
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and now I'm and now I'm definitely hooked. I want
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to know who is going to win, and I want
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: to see how it all progresses and what happens and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: if who I'm thinking is going to win is right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's say who we think is going to win
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on three? Okay, let's see we got the same the same? Okay, one, two, three?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Adele Lena oh or different?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: She's probably my She's probably tied, like maybe not second,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: maybe first and a half. But she's amazing too, so
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: such a powerful dancer, and she knows ballroom. But the
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: fact of the matter is Selena doesn't come from the
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: world of ballroom, and still she crushes it every time.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: You've obviously watched Dancing with the Stars because you were
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on it, and you're now watching the next pro.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Completely non biased. What show do you enjoy more?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: You know? It's interesting because this is a about the
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: people who will be the pros, and I keep thinking
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: about that as I'm watching it, and who I like
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: because I want I want to see them with the celebrity,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: right so there's certain people on this show that I
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: do not think will be good with celebrities. Interesting to
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: note is Aj is one of them. And he's been
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: on Strictly Come Dancing or whatever they call it now,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: and so he's obviously been with prose. But he has
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: an error and maybe this is editing. You know, we
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: come from the world of reality television, so we know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: but it seems like he has a little bit of
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: arrogance to him. And I feel like as a celebrity,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I am most attracted to the people who are assertive
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: about how they teach, not aggressive and not arrogant, like
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: that they are supportive of a celebrity and are going
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: to help them. That it's not all about the pro
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: do you know what I'm saying.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: So I totally agree.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think it's it's really interesting, Like Dancing
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: with the Stars now, it used to be about the celebrities.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Right now they're more focused, well not more focused, but
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I feel like they're focused on both. It's not just
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: all about the celebrities life. It's about how the celebrity
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and the pro integrate in their chemistry and meeting each
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: other's families and like you know, all of that. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: buy into that so hard, Like I love all of that,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: but the next pro is just about who is good
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: enough to be on the show as a pro. So
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: it's interesting. I like both, but you know, I mean, please,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I'm biased Dancing with the Stars.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I've watched both now and you know, don't take offense
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to this, but like, I think what I love about
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Dancing with the.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Stars is the.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Is the Nascar effect of it all like fun to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: see them crash, right, Like, yeah, it's fun to be like, oh,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the celebrities are also unathletic like.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Me, and they're just like us.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: They're exactly one of us.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: But I do like this version, I think a little
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: bit better because it's like I can't tell that they're
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not doing great, Like I need the judges to say
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: what's going on for me because.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like that was cool, that was cool, that's nice.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Like you know, it's like when I've hosted a bunch
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: of food Network shows and they have to be a judge,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, it all tastes good to me. I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: can't I'm not good at this isn't my thing. It's delicious.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's why it's like it's all so so
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: really really just amazing to me to watch. And I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: also just love like this season has been like jam
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: packed with drama. I mean, I don't know, did you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: see episode two with Alan and his talking about his
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: mother's story and then recreating that thing. I cried in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the second episode, which I mean, I was amazed that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it happened so.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Quickly, heartbreaking, and the part that Shirley Ballast was like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I will never forget this for the rest of my life.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, she's seen a lot, yeah dance, a
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: lot of dance, so for her to say that was
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: really profound. I love Alan too. Actually, he's up there
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: with Selena and Adele. With those I think that he
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: could probably be the next pro as well.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about episode three. It's a good one.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like the most bachelor thing in the world,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: with the super tease from before the episode with the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: ambulance and like people freaking out and you're like, oh
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: my god, what happened?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Just missing up hot dub, Yeah exactly.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Britt meets some of the contestants to begin rehearsing, so
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: she is the guest judge this week. Britt Stewart, Britt
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: does a performance with all the contestants. She's joined by
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: at larger group of dancers. So the challenge this week
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: is dancing as a group. It's part of being a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: pro and dancing with the star, she says, And they
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: will recreate the choreography that Britt just performed. If you
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: were one of these like potential next pros, what's one
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: dancing Dancing with the Stars pro that you would want
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to come and be like your guest judge.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, Jenna, and she's coming next week, so for sure Jenna.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I also love Whitney and Juliane Huff, like yeah, hands down.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I mean Derek. The fact that they had Derek the
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: first episode that was that was a great decision, especially
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: because he like is like family with the Ballasts, you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: move to England and lived with them for a while.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: So love the Huffs And yeah, I love Jenna right
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: now and Whitney there two of my favorites. So hopefully
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Whitney will come on later.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I gotta think she will, right and
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: she has to and Val has to come on as well,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Like Val has.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: To come on. I mean if they had Jenna, they'll
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: And I love Val he is the nicest guy. So
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: at these dance competitions for my daughter, a lot of
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: times they bring in Dancing with the Stars pros to
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: teach them the ballroom like classes that they take. Just
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: met Ezra, the nicest human. He's so funny, so cute.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: He came in and like surprised the girls were posing
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: from our dance studio. They were posing for a group picture,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: and he went and got into the picture, which was
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: so cute. So I've met Val. Val has bought the
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: girls Shirley Temples at one of the dance petitions. Love him. Yes,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I think all of them are amazing, Like truly, I
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: could go on and on about the pros. They're also
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: so great.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The irony of the show is that at this point,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the show has gone on for so long that I'm
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: almost more familiar with the pros than I am with
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of the celebrities.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Exactly. I think that we've all bought into their lives,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: like we've gotten to know them and they are growing
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: up in front of our eyes. You know, like Jenna
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: when she first started on So you Think you Can
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Can Dance? She was teeny tiny, you know, probably just
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: coming out of high school and crushed it. She was
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: so memorable. But then to like see her grow into
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: the pro that she is on the show now and
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: the life that she's created with Val and their cutie
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: pie little kid and all of it, Like, I just
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I love. It's like characters and books. You fall in
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: love with characters and books and you just want to
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: see more. And that's why I think you're not alone.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I think that so many people share that that they
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: want to see how the pros do. We're also rooting
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: for them, right, if they ever won a Mirror Ball,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: then we want them to win. So it might not
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: even be about this love that they're partnered with. It
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: might just be about how we want them to win.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Britt meets up of the contestants to begin rehearsing for
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the group dances. Britt emphasizes that a group performance can
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: be difficult because synchronicity is so important for traditional ballroom dancers.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: This might be even more difficult. Were you surprised to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: see because this is who I said was the best
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: dancer that Adele messed up in the beginning.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Oh that's right, I forgot about that. Yes, surprised, But
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: also she is if you think about it. She always
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: is just with her solo or a partner when she's competing,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: so to be surrounded by people and know your space.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: As a person who came from the world of like
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: group numbers, I was never performing as a soloist. I
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: was always with the group. You really like how Shirley
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: said about your peripheral vision. You have to pay attention
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: to where you are on the dance floor or on
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: the rehearsal floor or whatever in order to know how
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: big you can go with your movements. And that kind
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: of goes into you know, the injury that happened. But yes,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Adele is such a pro. But it's interesting because she
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: has flaws just like all of us. She's human and
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: she just doesn't have a lot of experience being in
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: a group. So that that made sense, you know that
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: she didn't She always goes big, it seems like, so
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: she needs to just you know, rein that in a
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: little bit. And I thought that I love all of
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: these challenges because they are so valuable on Dancing with
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: the Stars. You definitely need to know all of the
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: things that they are challenging with in order to be
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: able to be successful as a pro on the show.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Good segue from the adele dancing with a big group
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to you know, the slap herd around the world where
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Natalie gets hit.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Are you supposed as.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Big of a thing as it was? In the moment,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I thought, Oh, she's got kind of pooked in the eye.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: She got to go, you know, take a knee for
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a second, and then should be back. I was surprised
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to see that I kind of escalated.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I was definitely surprised to see that she didn't come back.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I would never have guessed that she wasn't going to
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: come back when it happened. But I will say as
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: a mom, I've known a lot of kids who have
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: gotten concussions for much less. It seems like, and I'm
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: guessing that she has a concussion or she had a
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: concussion when it happened because she got hit in this area, so.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: She got kind of dizzy as well, and like then
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that's usually like a kind of a head injury situation.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like she probably had a concussion, because
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: if it was her eye, I feel like she would
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: have just been like, I'm going to power through. But
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: from a medical standpoint, I believe that taking her help
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: for a concussion was probably the right thing to do.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: The other drama that happens in this is that Nina
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: begins to tell the girls what to do, which just
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: seems kind of like a fiend.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Selena tries to give her input, but she shut down.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: During the practice, Britt tells the dancers that they'll be
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: performing right now. They had three hours to practice, which
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: is exactly how long the pros have to learn their
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: opening number.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true for the opening number,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: but I do know that they do things on.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: The fly all the time.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all the time. I mean, it's just it comes
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: with the territory. You know. They have to know their
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: stuff and they have to be able to remember it really,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: really really quickly.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Surely and Mark walk into the studio after performing, Britt
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: asked the judges, who is the week his dancer. Surely
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: points out that Tristan was very, very ahead. Mark notices
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that Nina was rushing the music, not spatially aware. Do
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you think that Nina was rushing because Tristan was ahead
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: because they were dancing a lot together, or do you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: think that they would just both were not on beat?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I was I actually was thinking about that because they
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: have been pointing out that Nina has a hard time
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: with her musicality and being right on the beat, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: then they called out Tristan for it, and I thought,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: but Tristan has partnered with Nina and she's the one
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: that has been dealing with this issue. So I was like,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: why didn't they say anything to Nina about being off
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: of her timing? I thought that was really interesting. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know if it was Tristan or Nina,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: but historically, at least for the past the first two shows,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: maybe it was the second show that it really came
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: about that they were talking to her about her timing,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: so who knows. I thought that that they held that
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: against Tristan was a little bit unfair because and mind you,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: as we always say, in reality television, so much hits
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: the cutting room floor. You don't know if they did say,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: you know, we know you're with Nina, and maybe that's
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: what's happening, but they did kind of or you know,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: say to Nina, you know, you need to work on
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: your timing, especially when you're with a partner like that's
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: really important. So it's just a matter of who was
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: leading who If Nina was doing more of the leading
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: when she was with Tristan, then maybe she was leading
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: it to a point where she wasn't doing great on timing,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: and if Tristan was leading, then it would be his fault.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter anyway because they got to stay.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It's of note though, because you know, the guy who
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: went home in the last episode was Benji and he
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: was teamed up with Nina, and then now you know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Nina is teamed up with Tristan and all of a sudden,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: so it's almost like whoever she's with, usually he's in
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: trouble and not her. It's just something that kind of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: like keep in mind going forward. Back of the house,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Selena admits that she was excited for the challenge but
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: ended up struggling because she was clashing with Nina. Selena
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: tells Nina, you don't respect me. Nina apologizes, and Selena
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: tells her that she was trying to quote take over
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the rehearsal. Nina doesn't agree with that. Nina seems to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: be clashing with everyone. I'm going to say this so
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: you don't have to say this, but there's a part okay,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: but there's a part of me that thinks that Nina
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: might be a mean girl.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I see where you're coming from with that.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I think that she when she gets on the dance floor,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: her her personality changes a little bit from what I'm seeing, Like,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I don't see her being a mean girl in the house,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: like when she's interacting with them, when she's not on
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the dance floor, but on the dance floor, who knows.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe she's always had instructors who were like that, who
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: were very like blunt and you know, pushy, bossy, whatever,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: and she's learned that that that's how you're supposed to be.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: But I feel like at this point there are a
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: lot of group elements where you have to work with
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: someone or with a group, and so I feel like
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: she definitely needs to work on that. Yeah.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I wonder if you know, if she were to
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: win this, how she would respond with a celebrity.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: That's that's hard. I don't because of that, Yeah, I
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: have put her out of the running. I don't think
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: that knowing the casting directors, knowing the producers for this show,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think they would put her with a celebrity
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: seeing how she is in rehearsals because This is essentially
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: like a casting reel the entire show. You know, how
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: they're acting, how they're choreographing, how they're interacting with everyone,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: and how they're coming across on camera, if people are
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: loving them, if people are not liking them, all of
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: that stuff. I feel like this is a perfect casting reel.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: It's a great opportunity for these producers and casting directors
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: to see what we love. I'm sure they're listening to
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: all of the podcasts to get all of the scoop
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: on what people are thinking. But I think, as in
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: terms of Nina, I think she's a beautiful dancer, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that she can't do anything professional. I
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: just don't think that this is the show for her.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Dancing with the Stars.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is maybe like a little insider
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: baseball for me. It's what's interesting is is that the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: casting of the celebrity is important, but then also the
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: casting of who goes with the celebrity is so important
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: because personalities have to mesh well, physicality has to mesh well,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: especially when you're playing with you know, we dancing with
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: like a basketball player and stuff, and.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: That's got to be exactly a very.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Intricate web you have to weave before the show starts totally.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I remember this season. I think you're friends with him,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the basketball player who was like seven thousand feet tall,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: and he was partnered with uh oh gosh, I'm blinking
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: on her name right now. Anyway, their height difference was massive,
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: but because of her personality, she was like, whatever, we're
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: going to make this work. And if it was anyone
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: who kind of like was a curmudgeon and was like,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: well this is not okay, you know, and weren't willing
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: to actually work with it, then maybe it wouldn't have
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: worked out. But I felt like they were really connected
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: and they vibed and and she was like, listen, we're
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: just gonna we're going to dance to the best of
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: our ability. And I thought they'd did a great job.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Rehearsal day two, Natalie is still not there. She's being
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: held under medical supervision. Kind of surprised that the injury
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: was this serious, but I guess I'm holding out hope
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that she gets to come back. Robert and Britt explained
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: challenge number two. So they're creating a group dance. They'll
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: split into two teams create a team dance Nina and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Tristan are the captains, even though they were the weakest
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: link when they did the group dance, which I thought
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: was interesting. So Nina's team is doing the tango, it's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: alan Aj and Adele. Everyone's got an a name there.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And then Tristan's team is doing the pas dooble, which
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is Selena and Eric. Okay, I'm going to put on
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: my producer hat and tell you what I think happened here.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, good.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I think that this second challenge, creating a group dance
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: thing was had to do on the fly. I think
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: originally what they were going to do was have everyone
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: do a group dance together and just see who decided
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to delegate as the leader, and it was just gonna
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: be much bigger group. But then when you lost Natalie,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: it made the teams even, and then all of a sudden,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it's a fair fight between two teams. I think that
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that's what valid.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I completely see that, because if they did have an
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: odd I mean, they could have put more people on
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: one team. But I completely see that. Yes, and I
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: think it worked well like to show, because it brought out,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: you know, certain people's personalities. It was it was great
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: and the fact that they were like up against each other,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: you know, it creates creates some kind of you know,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: obviously competition within a competition, but yeah, I can totally
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: see that go on, producer.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because if you think about it, it was two
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: boys and two girls to each team, than they could
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: dance together, right, and if there was one more person there,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it would have been weird because then like what are
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: they doing during that time?
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Although I thought when they were choosing that Nina was
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: going to choose I think she went first that Nina
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: was going to choose Eric instead of Adele, and she
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: would have all boys and she would be the only girl.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: So strategically maybe she'd have done I mean, they did well,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: but strategically she could have been like front and center,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: you know, with all these guys surrounding her, and then
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: the other team would have been Tristan and all the girls.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: So I kind of was hoping to see that, but
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: but you're right, it was like kind of like they
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: could partner off within their little groups.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Also, the producer and me was really hoping that Nina
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was going to choose Selena to be on her team
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: because they've already got I think that have been fun,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: but I'm not surprised that she did not do that.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Christina is working together to choreograph, and Nina handed the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: reins to Aj to be in charge of their routine.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Tristan begins to shut down because he's confused during practice.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Selena encourages him to speak up. I think that Nina
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: played a smart play here in letting someone else be
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: in charge.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Sure did Yeah, I think you know.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: That she in charge, but you sure she did.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: No, that was very smart on her part. And I
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: think that also she would have clashed with Aj because
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: AJ wants to lead all of the any chance he
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: gets to lead someone, he's he's all about it. So
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I think that there would have been some clashing there
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: if she hadn't allowed Aj to kind of do what
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: he does.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so you were saying that you think that
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: AJ wouldn't be a great pro because he wouldn't work
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: well with celebrities. And is that because you think that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: AJ thinks of himself as as like the celebrity, because that's.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, you kind of put words to it. I think that.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: And it just seems like like the fact that when
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: they did on the second show, what was it like
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: they had to use one of their stories and then
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: convey you know, acted out. You know, I can't remember
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: what they called it, but you're trying to get people
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: to feel something when you tell your story, and I
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: thought it was interesting that his story was just about
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: him and winning. Yeah, and then you've got Alan who
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: loses his mom, and you know, like I felt like
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: it was that choice kind of showed his cards.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: If you will, you have a team past a double
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: A Tristan, Selena, Stephanie, and Eric. Production note. I'm noticing
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: it not to ruin it for everyone else, but whoever
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: goes last is usually who's doing better, Like Alan went
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: last in episode two because obviously it was so good.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: And so the second that Team Pasadola was going, I
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, they're not going to do great. One
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: because their rehearsal didn't look as strong, but two because
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: they were going first. Tristan's team tells Shley that they
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: worked together on choreography. The judges they weren't super impressed.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: They want a little bit more. They thought that the
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: beginning was good, but it fell off a bit.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: What did you think of the dance?
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Do you think that one person should have led the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: team versus like kind of everyone contributing.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I liked that they worked together. I didn't think that
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: that should have been held against them necessarily before going
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: into the dance. They needed to judge it based on
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: what they said, and I think what they saw was
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: that it was kind of scattered. So I think that's
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: why they judged the fact that they had not one
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: chef in the kitchen. You know, that there wasn't one
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: person who was cleaning, And I do think that there's
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: something to be said for that. If there is one
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: person in charge, then they can say no, I said
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: that your hand should be like this, and your hand
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: is like that, you know, like whatever, They can worry
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: about the details, So there is something to be said
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: for that. But because it's a group challenge, I think
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: it's nice that they all worked together and they worked
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: well together, So that seemed like they should have at
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: least gotten some points for working well together, even though
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: it wasn't. It kind of fell apart. I agreed completely
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: with what they said that it came out really strong.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, yes, I love this, this is
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: going to be great, and then I was kind of bored,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: like halfway through, and I was like, what's happening? They
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: lost me a little bit. I thought they they danced well,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: but and they weren't always in sync, and that's a
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: problem when you're dancing a group number.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think surely even says it to Tristan, being like, listen,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: we called you out earlier in the group dance for
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: not being on time. I was really hoping that you
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: would step up, and you didn't, And it does look
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: like that he is definitely on the chopping block. I
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: agree with you, though, Like for this dance, I really
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: loved the open and I really loved the clothes. I
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: thought that was really cool, and then kind of everything
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: in the middle, like the book ends were great. With
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: everything in the middle was like, nah, I don't know totally.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I love the ending.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Tango was pretty great. Is Nina aj Alan and Adele.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Nina explains the judges that aj took the lead on
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: this piece within twenty second, Alan falls, Are you like, Okay,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this and in my mind I'm like, there's
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: no way ick at think about anything else other than
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the fall. After I fail, I don't know how you
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: continue to go after you.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Fall because you've been trained. Yeah, because that's what happens.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: You are in dance classes every day, you know, and
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: you fall, and all they say in the world of
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: dance is you fall and you get back up, and
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: you don't let anyone know that that just happened. Even
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: though you know that they know, you keep going because
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: if you stop, then obviously that's what people are paying
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: attention to. So you just have to keep going and
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: that just comes with training. You just know that you
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: get up, even though everyone of course has it in
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: the back of their mind along with the choreogography that
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: they're actually doing in the moment, they have it in
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: the back of their mind. Oh crap, I just fell,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: and this whole dance is ruined because I just felt
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: because the first thing he said when they finished was ah,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: I just fell, or however he said it. But yeah,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: of course you worry about that. But I think to
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: their point, the judge's points, it's what you do with
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: that situation, because everyone's human. Adele did it, like what
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: was her name, Brier did it in the first you know.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: I think there are times when the stage or the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: floor is slippery, or you just lose your footing it happens.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: I was thinking in that moment, how many times I
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: would love to know this fact. I'm sure Dina could
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: tell us, But how many times a pro has actually fallen?
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? Like, it's not happened
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: that often? Yeah, oh like in the live show. Yeah,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: there can't be a lot. I just don't think that
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: it happens all that often. So if this happens again
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: with Alan, you know it will have to pay attention
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: to it. But I think that it's a human thing,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: you know, Accidents happen, just how you react afterwards.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting because Mark Applaud's allen forgetting
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: right back up after his fall, and he thought it
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: was a good decision for Nina to allow Aj to lead,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: and you kind of touched on it earlier, like Mark
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Applaud's allen for getting back up and continuing on. But
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: it's really what took Briar out, I think in the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: last episode. So it seemed like it was almost like, well,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: it's okay for you because you had an amazing episode
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: two and then like you did really well afterwards. I
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: thought it was a bit of a double standard.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, but I will say that the comparison when you
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: look at the quality of movement with Alan compared to Brier,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: it's very different. In the world of ballroom. I was
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: paying attention to Briar. She's a gorgeous girl, and I
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: feel like a beautiful dancer, But I just don't know
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: that Dancing with the Stars was the show for her,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: because if you look, I am obviously, as I said before,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: not technically trained in ballroom. But after watching the show
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: for so many years, you know, two decades. Oh, that
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: was another thing I wanted to say Derek Huff the
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: first episode. I know this is an episode that we're recapping,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: but he said, you know, I've been part of this
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: show for more than two decades, and I was like, no,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: because I was on the first season and that was
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight and it hasn't been twenty
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: years yet. I was like, hmm, Derek, no, that's not
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: true anyway. So so I think that as watching all
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: of these pros over the years, you know, you learn
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: what it should look like, right, and there were just
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: some technical things that Brier was doing that just weren't
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: weren't up there. They weren't at the level that they
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: need to be and I have to I'm putting on
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: my producer hat and I'm thinking, you know, as someone
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: who's producing the show, we're not going to include the
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: part where she was criticizing Brier for falling, as as
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: all of the judges were. But I think that what
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: we did not see is that they were also criticizing
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: her for her lack of technique when it comes to.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. Surely thought Aj was the
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: start to day. She notes that he was self absorbed
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: in the first two weeks, but he was humble and
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: great today, which maybe that that might be a good
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: sign for him in terms of having to work with
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the celebrity because he was less self absorbed and very
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: humbled today. Do you think that AJ's ego was a
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: little inflated in the past two episodes? I do, Yeah,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I did too, Yeah, being like my story is when
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I was great this one time.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, the trial, I am a winner.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: You're welcome. Yes, you're welcome for my presence.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: No surprised Tango won the challenge. They're safe from illumination.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Selena and Tristan are in jeopardy. Tristan, he is a
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch, but I do feel like
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: his days are numbered here. I think he's a little
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: how do I say over his skis a bit like
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: he's obviously great with like this underground breakdance thing, but
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: like ballroom seems like to be this entirely other beast
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and he does seem to be freaking out. But because
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: of Natalie's injury, everyone is safe. So who do you
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: think is really in trouble next week?
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I think Tristan's in trouble next week. I think that
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: just his lack of experience with ballroom, you know, it's
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: nothing to be held against him. I think he's really
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: fun to watch. Like you said, I loved him especially
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: on the first episode, and that when he was had
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: the cape when they started their dance was really powerful.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I just feel like you can see that he doubts himself,
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: and you cannot doubt yourself as a pro and dancing
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: with the stars, you need to be the one that
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: the celebrity relies on, like feels supported by. You need
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: to have the self assurance to be able to get
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: the celebrity through it, because the celebrity is going to
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: have a lot of self doubt, you know. So I
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: think Tristan's on the block. I also want to say
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: that we haven't talked about Stephanie at all. I felt like,
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: why didn't we talk about like Nina was part of
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: I can't remember his name leaving her partner. He left,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: and they talked about that, Benji, thank you, and they
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: talked about how Stephanie, you know, it was totally an accident,
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: but she ended up hitting Natalie with her hand, and
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: there was there was no conversation about that, not that
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: that is it should be any part of why she
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: stays or goes on this show. I just feel like
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: one thing that stands out to me is that she
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: was on the troop, so she's been on the show before.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: If they didn't give her a position after being on
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: the troop, I don't know that it's going to happen
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: this time.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Are you surprise that Natalie decided not to kind of
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: return to the show.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Do you think she could made it to the end.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think she had. I don't think she had
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: the choice.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah you think that.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: I think medically the doctors that are you know, that
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: are working with the show told her that she can't.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I think she would have come back if she was
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: given the opportunity.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Well, episode three a very fun Dancing with the Stars.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: The next pro you think that Selena is going to
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: win this thing. I think Adele is going to win
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: this thing. Can you come back at the end of
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the season if you're right, will you come back?
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: And so you can.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: I want to come back anyway, so if you ever
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: need me to another but I would love to come back,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: and yes, I'm happy to. But I also I feel
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: like we should have chosen a girl that we think,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: and we should have chosen a boy. And if we
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: chose a boy, I would choose I would choose Alan.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think Alan is the strongest dancer. Also,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: there was like kind of a side plot where Eric
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: was kind of telling everyone that he had a crush
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: on brit.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: But she's married.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: I know. I was like, what is this storyline? What's
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: happening here?
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: I know, maybe it's just Biller.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Christa, thank you so much for coming on by
• 46:32
