00:00 - Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:01 - Congratulations, you guys are here for another week.
00:03 Incredible performances.
00:05 I'm gonna go duo by duo, but what did you love most
00:07 about your performance tonight?
00:08 - Oh, just listening to the music.
00:10 Just hearing that music, it's the best.
00:12 Motown is everything.
00:14 That was my favorite thing.
00:15 - And you were crying, like there was an emotional aspect
00:18 of it because of your dad.
00:19 So what do you think he would have thought
00:20 about your performance tonight?
00:22 - I mean, I know he would be so proud,
00:23 and I'm so glad that I did well for him,
00:26 and that is just the biggest relief,
00:29 knowing that I was able to put out my best performance
00:33 for my dad.
00:33 - What do you think about how she did?
00:36 - She's a champ, she's fighting through an injury,
00:39 and she did amazing.
00:41 She was honestly flying.
00:42 It was the best, yeah, that live performance
00:44 was the best round we've had the whole week.
00:47 She was just, there was a new person, an alter ego,
00:50 came out, and we're looking for a name for that alter ego.
00:53 - Yeah, we're still thinking about it.
00:55 - And I mean, look, these are your competitors right here.
00:58 Emoji man, that's what he said.
01:01 Yes, what do you think about the performance
01:02 that you guys did tonight?
01:04 - Oh, the dance floor was lava,
01:06 and I was trying not to touch it.
01:07 So just enlivened by the jive,
01:10 we thrived and we survived.
01:12 - And seeing him just thrive as a dancer,
01:15 what does that mean to you?
01:16 Because that's a testament to what you're doing
01:18 behind the scenes.
01:19 - It's the best because he makes the choreography
01:21 come to life, so just watching him
01:22 put his own twist on it is amazing.
01:24 - I noticed that all of you guys,
01:26 I love all the BTS, by the way,
01:27 that you guys post on social media.
01:29 Even the little hit action that you had going on,
01:31 I like that.
01:32 So have you guys all just become really close,
01:35 or who are the closest that you guys hang out with?
01:37 - This right here.
01:38 - Oh, that's why all four of y'all are here.
01:40 (laughing)
01:42 And what is it about just creating these bonds
01:44 with each other together while you're doing
01:45 this whole process and this journey?
01:47 - It's really amazing.
01:49 When I'm nervous and I'm out there,
01:50 Danny's voice is the one I hear screaming the loudest.
01:53 - Screaming the loudest.
01:54 - And it's awesome.
01:57 - And then also, I don't know if you heard the news,
01:59 but former contestant Brooke Burke,
02:01 she revealed that she was falling in love with Derek
02:04 and all that jazz.
02:05 What do you think it is about the journey?
02:07 Yeah, she knows what I'm talking about.
02:09 What do you think it is about the journey
02:11 of being on this show that leads to these strong,
02:13 intense chemistry and connections?
02:15 What do you think it is?
02:16 - I think you're stuck in a bubble for three months,
02:19 and you definitely develop a chemistry
02:22 because it doesn't have to be,
02:24 I don't know what, I didn't read it,
02:25 but it doesn't have to be sexual chemistry.
02:27 It could be a friend.
02:28 We meet some of our best friends.
02:30 Some of our partners are literally our family now,
02:33 and it doesn't have to be that way,
02:35 but most of the time, it's just really strong friendships.
02:38 - Absolutely, you'd like to say maybe
02:40 you've been friends for a while too?
02:41 - Yeah, absolutely.
02:43 I mean, like Danny said, we're all together,
02:45 what, four hours a day, and then on top of that,
02:50 with all the decisions, messaging, and phone calls,
02:53 so it literally feels like we're together 24/7.
02:56 So you definitely build a bond,
02:58 and it just becomes a friendship.
02:59 - It's family, it's literally family.
03:01 - Yeah, there's not too many people outside the show
03:03 that can relate to what's going on with your schedule
03:06 and how your body feels.
