| 0:00.0 | It's really important as a pro on the show to really showcase different sides of your partner through dance. No, oh my gosh, Lauren from Fifth Harmony. Are you kidding? Are you kidding me? I feel like your limitations are so broad. Yes, I can do anything. I know, she can do anything and that's what, that's what's really nice, but it also makes it really hard for me. He was up at like three in the morning. I don't think he's a party animal. I think he's like nocturnal. What's he doing? |
| 0:24.0 | Rubik's Q but it also makes it really hard for me. He was up at like three. He's a party animal. I don't think he's a party animal. |
| 0:21.3 | I think he's like nocturnal. |
| 0:22.6 | What's he doing? |
| 0:23.6 | Rubik's Cube. |
| 0:24.6 | Rubekut. First 10s on Dancing with the Stars |
| 0:46.8 | First of your career too on the show. |
| 0:48.8 | Yeah. |
| 0:49.7 | Were you expecting anything like that? |
| 0:51.2 | What was going through your head when that happened? |
| 0:52.2 | Do you see my reaction? |
| 0:53.3 | Hell, no, I was not expecting that. |
| 0:54.8 | You faked it. |
| 0:56.1 | No, I did not. Like, I kid you not. I had, like, this sounds so crazy. I didn't have much faith in our Rumba because A, A, we were doing Arumba and we were closing the show. Like, that is so hard to do. So the fact that we even got tens, like I was expecting eights and nines. |
| 1:13.5 | I was like, Jordan, we got eights last weeks. Let's shoot for nines. Might be hard if we get a nine because we're doing a run, but we're closing the show. Like, we both knew how hard that was. But I just forget, like, she is that girl. And they loved the routine. Like, it it just worked and I obviously passed out and fainted |
| 1:30.3 | so I blanked I completely blinks she shows up is there anything to you going last or first in the |
| 1:37.9 | show or is it all just random however they place you I think it's strategic I personally do but like |
| 1:43.0 | remember my last partner we went last in the show so I feel like they try to put, like, either a good story at the end or, like, a great dance. But for Wicked Night, it was in chronological order. So we had for good, and I knew the fact that we had for good that we were going last. So I was like, you're doing for good and you're doing Rumba. But I was like, okay, this is a really hard song. Okay. I was really nervous about it, but pulled through. Do they do a questionnaire for what song you want? Are you throwing out what you want? For Wicked, they asked our requests. They asked which ones we wanted. And I felt like I shot myself in the foot because I didn't request to find gravity. and that was the one. It's just overlooked. Yeah. Well, I just didn't think we were going to get it. Like, I just, |
| 2:21.5 | I just. And I felt like I shot myself in the foot because I didn't request to find gravity. |
| 2:37.1 | And that was the one. It just overlooked. Yeah. Well, I just didn't think we were going to get it. Like, I just felt, I thought I was going to go to like a mark or like a vowel or like someone else. So I didn't request it. And then we didn't get it. And then I was like, crap, because I forgot to request it. Yeah., your choreography has been so fun to watch. |
| 2:39.5 | And we didn't really get to experience it last season. |
| 2:45.7 | So to see you really shine now is so fulfilling for people who've been following your entire journey. |
