Speaker 1 (00:08):
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio Podcast. Okay, okay, woo,
I just got to tell you Eastern Allen. Okay, everyone,
welcome to Misstepping. We are recapping Dancing with the Stars
last night, the semi finals. It was Prince night. So
you know how I've been so sick lately, Like my
(00:30):
house just keeps all my kids keep getting sick. Yes,
it's a thing, five kids. But okay, so I had
like the I mean, I can't say this to you
because you always have the longest workdays, but I had
my longest work day yesterday started at four am with
all day and then I was like just to be like,
whatever I can do it prove a point to myself.
(00:51):
I don't know what I was doing. I should have
ordered in. I decided to cook dinner for the kids.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, it's like I just like want to sabotage myself,
Like I don't know what it is. So then Bo's
sick in bed, so we decide we're going to watch
Dancing with the Stars after dinner. We're in bed. He's
not going to school today because he's sick, and I'm like, okay,
you know what, We're going to watch Dancing with the Stars,
get in bed to no da. I take nichol because
(01:20):
I'm sick. Wow, it's a whole different experience on Nichel.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And is this how it should be viewed? Is that
what you're telling people?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay? So what I am saying is because of me
and how my brain works. I was up early this morning.
I could have gone back and watched it, but as
the shock talk, I am, oh my god, did I
just coin that shock talk tee? I decided no, I
will not go back and rewatch it. I did look
at clips online. I'm going to give you my opinion
(01:55):
as it came out. Everyone does a Dancing with the
Star's recap, so this one, this it could be a
fun one, right, I'm excited a little spice to it,
and it's not that exciting. But I do have to
tell you one other thing. This morning, I was looking
through my closet. I don't wear purple, but I was like,
I kind of want to find purple and put it on.
So I'm still sick and like deliriously sick. So I
(02:18):
put on this purple one purple T shirt that I
find in my closet, which I'm wearing right now, which
some of you, well, it's not a video, but it's
Do you see it's pink? I do, Okay, So I
put it on and it starts to turn pink, and
I'm looking and I'm like rubbing my eyes. I'm like,
oh my god, wait, I took nicol last night, Like,
(02:39):
what's happening? Why am I like? Why is it turning pink?
Am I seeing things? Then? I remember? Do you remember
a company in the nineties called Gecko. Oh, it's like
the mood rings. It's the color changing clothing.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Gecko's back.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's back.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
They gave me some T shirts. I didn't realize. I
put it on. It started to turn pink, and I
thought it was just me. So here we are, my friend.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Wow, it was like thermal thermo color or something like
that changes with like heat, with body heat.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Wow, that's cool exactly. So I think I have a fever.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But let's go well, well, doc, I don't know my temperature,
but let me show you my Gecko shirt. It's changing colors. Okay,
isn't that enough? Free? Uh? Well, you know, purple would
have been great because it is Prince Knight on Dancing
with the Stars in Week ten, we're in the semi finals. Here,
we're down to the nitty gritty, down to the wire.
It's really really heating up. What a uh so Prince Knight.
(03:36):
Going into it, I was a little I'm not that
big of a Prince fan.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I I'm not, yes see on I like the hits,
but I was like why, I don't know, coming off
the twentieth Anniversary Week two, I was like, why is
it Prince Knight?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I just didn't understand.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And then there was a very clunky plug about halfway
through the show that kind of made sense to me.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They were not off with my nicol that way. I
didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Was at one point Alfonso has to do this like
really this mouthful of like a and the twentieth Anniversary
two discs special edition is available now of like his
greatest hits or something like that. Oh so that made
me realize. I mean that's what I think the reason
for it being printed.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
A lot of product and placement things this season, yes,
like the milkshay can Dylan Evron right, yes, like what
was that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Wicked and Rock Roll Hall of Fame was a big
pluggy one. But h So I went into this with apprehension,
but I really enjoyed it, and I was like, oh man,
this was a lot of really good friends songs.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So I love Prince. I mean, it just like brought
out all my like eighties and vibes, and I was
really excited. Like I felt the same way. I was like,
I don't know, and then once I heard all the songs,
I was like, oh, yeah, right back there. So I
was I was pumped. Wait did I tell you I
used to be friends with Apollonia?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Wow, so a friends not friends. I was friends with
Carmen Electra, who did date Prince, and she had the
loveliest things to say about him that he was a
really special, creative, amazing human. But Apollonia, in the eighties,
I used to go to Chasin's with my parents with
my dad Aaron Spelling, And do you like how I
(05:32):
felt the need to say that because people don't know
who my dad is. Oh what, I'm not kidding. All
the time people come out to me, You're like, I
loved your dad. Spielberg like Spelling, both geniuses all the time,
Tory Spielberg. Nope, nope, anyway, no, So in the eighties,
(05:55):
so for some reason we were at some like big
party at Chasin's, and Appollonia was there. It was right
when the movie when Purple Rain came out, and I
was super psyched, and she ended up hanging out with
me all night. I'll find the picture somewhere I had
me and Apollonia from the eighties. I was little. I
was like eight or ten, I don't know. Not I
(06:17):
shouldn't have been watching Purple Rain. Okay, well, good digress.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We had a great opening number, lots of FaceTime from
Pasha in the opening, which I appreciated. I got to
see a lot of him and a lot of his emoting,
which was really fun.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You got to shine.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
He really shined.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And here's a rock star.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So this week, the couples are dancing twice, which sounds
so exhausting, and I feel so bad for them. There's
two dances per night or it's crazy. So we'll we'll
go through. We'll go through in order as the dances happened.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, And so you know we're gonna be revisiting the
couples twice. We're starting off with Elaine Hendricks.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I feel like, in general though, that they did the
choreography kind of condense it a little bit so because
they had to do two different dances, it wasn't as
spectacular as their dances usually are.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I did feel that way. And there was also like
less like sets I noticed on the dances this week,
Like there wasn't as much like props, and it was
mostly like a lot of screens and fog and stuff
like that. And I wonder if it's.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Because all their money went to whoever has the rights
to all the prince stuff. Yes, exactly right, Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, no, I did notice that. So Elaine Hendricks now
in versus and they kick off the show dancing a
foxtrot to I Want to Be Your Lover, And so
they're in the rehearsal package they're talking, you know, the shoulders.
Elaine's talking about bringing the shoulders down. That's something they're
working on everybody. Not everybody, but like most of the
(07:55):
dancers seem to have an issue with that. But I
thought this first dance was very smooth, really big arm
moves like me too, exploring the space. I thought that
was really fun.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't see the shoulder thing. I didn't Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I didn't see it either.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Maybe at this point they're like we have to really
critique things.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh yes, and more left Carrie Anne makes that so
apparent throughout the entire episode. She is like, we are
in the semi finals. The gloves are off. We need
to look for what is wrong here because we need
to thin the herd. And right out the gate, I
haven't heard that so long. Right out the gate, carry
(08:35):
Anne is like getting booed and just like breaking tough
news to these dancers I like, and for for Elane,
she said like, there's nothing wrong with the dance. I
just want to see you push a little more and
like something else she said that I was so confused,
or she says it's to Alex actually in the next dance,
but like she says this, like she kind of goes
(08:57):
back and forth between like I wanted to look effortless,
and then she says like I want to see your effort.
I want to see you trying. And I'm like, Okay,
there's a lot of flip flopping and carry on in
this episode and I'm going to point it out every time.
It's driving me crazy. But you know, they got pretty
good scores for this one, straight nines across. Yeah, and
(09:19):
uh yeah, you know they each had some notes, but
but a pretty good dance overall.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And we're so like, how I'm not completely critiquing it
because I cannot remember it, like thinking really hard, and
I'm like, God, her costume, wardrobe on point, hair, great dance.
I agree, effortless, put more effort in. I remember this.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Next this one's rough. It's rough because they dance twice,
so it's like I I even I get confused, and
I have so many notes in here, but it's it's confusing.
So we're moving on to Alex Earl and Vaalashmorkowski. Their
first dance. They danced and Argentine tango to a little
red Corvette. Man, it's such a good s it's so good.
I was not really into alex Earle before Dancing with
(10:05):
the Stars.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Uh, since same, You know, I confess I didn't even
know who she was.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, I think I think I've shown this before, but
like I bought We've talked about her light, right, that
Alex Earle light shoot.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You told me that last week and I still didn't
buy it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, I guess. I like, I'm so sorry. I since
we've spoken, I learned that someone brought this light to
Dancing with the Stars and she signed it for them,
and I thought that was such a fun idea. And
if I ever get to meet cool, if I ever
get to meet alex Earle, she'll be signing this very light.
Uh yeah. I I like alex Earle. I especially like
(10:38):
her on this show. I think she's trying so hard.
She's putting so much effort into this. She is so
locked in, especially in this dance, and you know, okay,
this this is not great, but uh, there's every time
there's Dancing with the Stars, every time there's a season,
there's always like, oh, is there gonna be a romance
or something between the between the pro and the and
(11:02):
the star because it's such an intimate thing. For some reason,
this episode, there was like several times where I really
wanted them to kiss. Platonically. I wanted the like I
don't want alex Earl and Volstrukowski to date. I know
Vala is married.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
No, I wanted.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Them to kiss.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
The dance I just had I just had chills because
this is wild. At certain points, like when they were
up with Julianne and like I kept just looking like
at his hands and stuff, and then I look at
Jenna in the background, like, is she okay with that?
Is she okay with that? And I'm like, god, I
guess they have to be okay with that because that's
part of it. But I felt something too okay. And
(11:42):
I know Jenna and I know Val and I love
them together and they have a beautiful son. But yeah,
you get it's a show romance. It's like when you're
watching a rom com. You just it's okay, the characters ish,
and you want them to kind of in your world.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Be together exactly. I mean I don't actually want them
to kiss, but I kind of do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Bruno summed it up perfectly. I thought he told Alex, uh,
you're a jem that gets brighter and brighter. And I
have to agree with Bruno there.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I agree. So but when I hm, I feel like
her face though there's something and she has all the moves,
but her face she's so I feel like she seems
I don't know her, but seems so kind and sweet
(12:35):
that I can't see she can't make like a tough face.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah that makes sense. It does make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
There's moments where she's doing the leading, but I look
at her face and I'm like, no, she still looks
sweet but she's not an actress, you guys.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So, yeah, she does get Ready with Me videos. She
doesn't even he dances on TikTok. Yeah, so she They
got a ten from Derek who didn't like it. He
loved it, and a nine from Bruna and a nine
from carry Anne. That was very fun. Next up Whitney
Levitt and Mark Ballast. We have to discuss what's going on, uh,
(13:13):
you know, behind the scenes of this dance of these dancers.
Since read just before this week, so like on I
think it was on Friday. The new season of The
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has released. All the episodes
are out. This was filmed earlier in the year, and
in the season there is a lot of Dancing with
(13:35):
the Stars stuff. There's a lot of dancing with the
Stars talk because so Whitney was not part of the
show in the beginning of the season. They said there
was contract negotiation stuff. Whitney wanted tickets to the auscar
Whitney said for Secret Lives and Mormon Wives, Whitney said,
I would not I will not come back unless I
get tickets to the Oscars and a role in a
(13:56):
scripted show. That's what she wanted myth.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It is like back in the day when Jaylo like
no one could look her in mine. She had to
have diet coke on set, Like these are rumors, Like
what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
This is what they said? The girls say this on
the show to camera and Whitney does not deny it.
What so she is not there? At my heart, I so, okay,
I'm gonna explain to you why this is good. This
is why this made me like Whitney. She is not
getting a lot of love. I am definitely the minority here.
But same she is not in the first part of
(14:28):
the show because all the other girls are like, oh,
she wanted tickets to the Oscars and she wanted a
scripted role and she clearly didn't get it because she's
not here. And then probably halfway through the season, they
start interviewing Whitney and she says, I hear that part
of the show this year is going to be an
audition for Dancing with the Stars. They're going to pick
(14:50):
one or two of the girls from Mormon Wives to
be on the show. And this is something I've wanted
since I was a little kid. I want to do that.
I will come back to the show if I to
be on Dancing with the Stars. And she does come
back to the show and she meets with the executive producer,
Tina Cat Dina Cats, She's in the show, and so
(15:13):
Whitney kind of makes it clear like I am only
doing the secualizer Mormon wise because I want to be
on Dancing with the Stars. I personally do not see
an issue with that, Like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
You're okay. First of all, right, before we started, so
you guys, Mormon Wives has become like the first two seasons,
like it was my like anthem like everything, like I
would leave it on in the background, watch it over
and over. It became my new I used to so
I keep the TV on while I sleep. It's just
something I've done since childhood. And my dad did it.
(15:44):
Don't judge me, judge me fine. And it was the Netflix,
just the Netflix like.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Like menu menu, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, So I was good. I got from I used
to have sound on. Now I have no sound on.
I have that. But then Mormon Wives I got obsessed
with and that became like very low but on in
the background. For some reason, maybe because I've been in
the sick bubble and working like I did not know
the third season is out. I just told me this
before the show.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It's it's good.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's you know what, I'm binging all night. Yeah, even
know you're spoiling it right now.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You'll see that in the news. There's there's so much turns. Yeah,
you're you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it. So
she's gonna be So.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You agree with this, You're like, yeah, I wouldn't. Why though, hmm,
I mean, I don't know. I'm trying to put myself
in her shoes. Like imagine back in the day, if
I was like, I will only come back to nine
oh two and oh if I get that's a big crap.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Shoot, yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
What if they're like bye, no, sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And I mean I think that's that's kind of what
happened initially, because she was like I want to be
on a show and they're like no, thank you, No, no,
that's not happening. She's like, okay, well I'm not coming
back then, and then she but.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Halsey, wow, very for even more now good for Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I need to And I think that she's playing this
whole villain thing up just to get to get attention.
And to stand out, and it's working because she is
like the quote unquote villain of the show, and she
people talk about her like, I'm sorry, people to talk
about Miranda the same way from Mormon Wives. Do you
know who Miranda?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Nope, okay, exactly, she's like one of the main people.
But like she doesn't get talked about the same way
as Whitney because Whitney is a polarizing figure.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And do you and you think in some form it's strategic.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I think it's entirely stow.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, I mean I am a little upset with Whitney
right now, okay because I DM her. Oh she probably
gets so many people sliding into her DMS. She to respond.
I told her what a big fan I am. But
that's fine because sometimes public figures, like when you have
the verified And I know this because I missed dms
(18:10):
from other celebrity friends for years, they don't get it.
So I'm not really mad at her.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I just there's a one of my favorite stories, is
you know t Pain He yes, he didn't. There's like
a second folder or something in your DMS and he
didn't know about that folder and he missed, like he said,
this he missed like years of like crazy big artists
trying to collaborate with him, like all o, my god,
(18:37):
like you know, and it was just it's funny to
think about it.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah you miss it, you don't little known fact. So
mass singer I was in the first season. He won,
but you don't know who everyone is. And was it
the first show or second show? It was like a
battle off and I won against.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Wow quite the feather in your cat. Yeah, it's taken
on t pain. So anyway back into the ballroom, Whitney
and Mark, the pressure is on. I mean they've been
my like the entire season. I've just been saying it's
between Whitney and Robert, those are the two I think
are going to win.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And this this first dance they dance at Chatcha to
nineteen ninety nine by Prince because it's Prince name. It's
such a good song. They're all good songs. They're also good.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, so this dance was good, but to me it
felt really like tiktokie. I think this dance like there's
a lot of like of Whitney looking like directly into
the camera doing a funny face and then there's a
lot of like embellishments, like a lot of like, you know,
doing the like I don't know what you call it,
but like you lick your finger and then press your
(19:51):
bottom like it's hot, you know, and then like yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Fair guitars, mark chorey craft and more whitney craft in
some way.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes, yes, which is cool to have a star taking
on that role. But also I was like, is this
what they want here? I don't know if this is
what we're going for. And then at the end she
does these like these splits and she kind of bounced
a little bit, and I don't think that was intentional,
and I feel like the judges were not going to
like that. But I was wrong because she almost got
a perfect score. Carrie Anne gave her a bump, and
(20:24):
Bruno got really mad at Carrie Anne for that. He
says that she was out of her mind and the
dance was literal perfection. So maybe I was wrong about
that bump on the on the splits, But what.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Was it she said, I have to mark you down?
She said, I have to right off the bat. Yeah,
what was it for exactly?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It is for the like did she see a mistake
halfway through she wants her to focus more on technique.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mistakes are okay, it was something that she has to
mark down because it's like illegal in the dance.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yes, yeah, yeah yeah, something like that. Yeah yeah yeah.
But you know you pointed this out. I think it's
no surprise it. We'll just say it right now. I mean,
like Whitney, Whitney goes home. We can say that now.
And I think when you watch this, you can kind
she I think she's expecting it throughout the entire episode,
(21:17):
like she's like kind of preparing.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I got chills. I felt it too the whole time.
You know, I love her just as much as you do.
And it was Mark Dallas' big return. I wanted them
to go all the way.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I really didn't, and I really think that the whole show.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I'm like, they're going home.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
This this episode. I watched it in an interesting way
because normally I watch it later in the night. I
just watch it like on Disney Plus after the after
it's aired, you know, But this one I try to
watch it live. But I was I got home late,
so I started in the middle and I watched it
live from the middle to the end, and I went
back and watched the beginning, so at this point I
like knew the ending and everything, and I was watching
(21:58):
Whitney and Mark. I'm like, oh, happier times during this
first dance.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Oh my gosh. I know I do that all the time,
but I don't watch that ending except then if I
go on Instagram. Yes, like we all do fifty million
times a day, I'm like, oh, someone just told me,
damn it. Yeah. No, so you watched it a different way,
which to me was like when I saw the Blair
(22:24):
Witch Project or when I saw The Sixth Sense. I
already knew. So I watched it a different way because
the ending changes everything.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Random callback. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Dylan Efron and Daniellea Cara Gosh. Another couple to watch
their first dance was a Tango too. I would die
for you. Zach is here. Zach Efron has entered the ballroom.
He is here. They do not want us to forget
about it. He gets shown so much of the entire episode,
and I feel so bad for him. He is on
(23:07):
camera every two seconds.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
He knew what he was signing up for.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yeah, I know, but also like, this is probably why
he waited so long to go, because he knew this
was going to happen, and I got the vibe he
just wanted to sit there and watch his brother, you know,
but he was on camera every.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
See I thought. I was like, okay, he's what he's
He hasn't gone this entire time. Was this strategic? And
they're like, okay, you know what, it's a semi finals.
He might not make it next week, Like we got
to put him here to get him to the finals,
or we got to put him here because he has
to see him before he home.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's that makes sense. That's true. So Dylan's
biggest challenge is keeping his butt under control, keeping his
butt in. There's a lot of butt talk in this
first dance, and I thought he did a great dance.
Danielle is so much fun to watch. She is just
she might be my favorite pro. I really love watching
(24:05):
her dance.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
She's she do agree.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
She does this move in this first dance where she
like whips her leg like really high in the air,
really fast. It's just the physicality is so incredible from
Daniella Kara Gosh.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Well, every season she comes up with something that goes
viral online, people trying it. Yes, like her swimming things. Yes,
last week with Dylan, like everybody's doing it. Have you
tried it yet?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Without I have not tried that yet. I'm afraid to try,
but maybe we will this WEEKENDU.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Wait, did you see what went viral?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Though?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Because they filmed like behind the scenes and okay and
and Dylan, And there was like a moment where they
line them up at the very end to see who's
going home and they know what placement they're going to be,
and it was like before during commercial and she walks
(25:04):
towards him and he puts his arms out the hugger
and she keeps going backstage. So everybody started putting like, oh,
is something wrong? What happened? Yeah? And she's like, let
me clear this up. This is so embarrassing. I was
going backstage to pick my wedgie. I was like, God,
bless I love your friend.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
The honesty of Danielle Carrey.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Would you believe that? You don't believe that? I?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh, I know, I believe it. I believe it. At
a recent.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Then I went down the rabbit hole. Sorry, we're skipping ahead.
Afterwards when they're like we're going to the finals, I
watched them do a video TikTok right or whatever in
his trailer, and they have their burgers and everything, and
I was like looking for so maybe that's why I
saw it, But I felt like their body language was.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Off interesting, interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I don't know, I'm just trying to stir up trouble
right now.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, Dylan's butt was beautifully under control, according to Bruno.
This was another great dance. I was watching his feet
a lot, and I didn't notice this, but Karrian had
a problem with his footwork. So his butt is beautifully
under control according to Bruno. But Carrie Anne had an
issue with his footwork. I personally, I was watching the
footwork on this tango and I didn't notice this, but
(26:26):
Carri was.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I thought it was great too, but not enough to
get a perfect score. He got straight nines across the
board for this Tango's We're Moving Along here. Jordan Chiles
and ezras So their first dance of Prince Night Dancing
a give to Raspberry Beret. Such a good song, another
like classic Prince song. I mean, we got all the
(26:51):
hits here, we got all the hits. Jordan said she's
never had a perfect score as a gymnast, which was surprising.
To me because I just assumed that. Yeah. I was like,
she's so skilled and so talented, but she's feeling very
confident about this dance tonight and her timing is really good.
But also I was watching this and I'm like, I
(27:12):
think this is one of her weakest dances. I was
not feeling I'm like, oh, Jordan love it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I was like she was nervous or like, I don't
know the pressure. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah I do, I do, I think. And they point
this out in the judging that like she is as
an athlete, she's very obsessed with being the top, being
number one, beating at least herself, if not everybody else.
From the last week, I think that's gotten getting in
her head. I was like, oh, Jordan's going home, She's
she's done for I really thought that one.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, well, except we knew, like in our hearts, we
were like, Whitney's going home, but we were like kind
of like Jordan should go.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yes, Yeah, I've thought so. If this was like reverse
voting where you vote who goes home, I probably would
have voted Jordan like all the.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Island you love a love Island reference, yes.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Or survivor either one oh.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Or survivor you know watch that one either?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
More contemporary from toy spelling straight nines across the board
for everybody on, for Jordan and Azra on their first dance,
and closing out this first round of dances, Robert Irwin
and Whitney Carson dancing a jive to Baby I'm a Star.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
And can jump in for one second?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Please?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Do you think Robert Irwin hates me? I got slammed
last week, you guys in the press. I mean for
what I said on our show misstepping.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Hey, if you can't be honest here, then what's the
point of doing this?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You're right, You're right. And anyway I did say, I
was like, do you think it's fair that Bindy got
to come into the dance at the end last week?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Anyway, I thought, I try again to read bad comments.
People were very angry with me. We should I reach
out to Robert Erwin? Oh my god, I mean why not?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I love to talk about.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
You guys. I love that guy. I was just calling
it like, I don't know, we're critiquing a competition show, right, Yes,
isn't this what I'm supposed to be doing?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yes? Exactly, And they played that clip again in this package,
and I thought about what you said, and I agreed
again that I was like, okay, this doesn't feel fair.
Was no one coming out for you then, because I
wasn't on Beverly Hills nine or two and o and
true Beverly Hills. I don't have those credits behind my name.
I'm safe here.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I'm safe.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I guess say whatever I want. How about this, everybody.
I was the one who told to me to say
that last week. It was my idea.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
This is not true.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, but I don't know. We've we've kind of floated
this idea since the beginning. Not that he's like a
plant or anything, but there's just a lot of other
factors at play here. He's like too good, he's he
has a lot of advantages. He seems like a very
sweet young man. I'm really touched by everything he does
with his family. I really think he's a great guy.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Do you think he and Seldi you're together?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I don't. I heard that too. I don't know. I'm
not sure. Cute, it would be very cute. I love
that idea, and we could potentially have two Mirror Ball
winners in a company.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So wait, you know how like you, we've now created
a character, so it's a showman's but it's not real
you guys. We know they have partners in real life,
of course, but we're in the rom com world here.
There are moments where I'm like, oh, my gosh, Whitney
and she is married, has a lovely family. But I'm like, oh,
(30:49):
wouldn't that show man's if we're just watching it from
this perspective, like she's the cougar and he's like the
young like right eyed, bushy tail.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I love it too. I think I wrote in their
second dance or no, no, it was this first one
I wanted. This is another one where I really wanted
them to kiss.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Okay, fine, fine, okay, I'm so glad you're saying it,
even though I'll take the heat here.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
So this dance was amazing. I mean, they got perfect
tense and they deserved it was. There wasn't a single misstep.
Watching this, I'm like, oh, he's winning the whole thing.
We've been saying this whole time. I'm even more convinced
now he's taking the whole thing home. My favorite part
of the judging was Derek starts listing off all these
details of a jive that I did not know and
(31:36):
I've never heard before. Like he talks about a sugar
push whatever that is. I thought that was. I thought
there's another part where he talks about New Yorker's. I
think that's in a different dance, but oh yeah, that's
later on with Dylan and Daniel's second dance. But there's
all these other details of dances I'm learning tonight that
I really enjoyed.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It's so interesting. I picked that up as well, and
part of me was like, I don't care, move on,
I just want to see it. In part of me
was like Derek Huff for the win here. Wow, there
was something very sexy about him. No, obviously he knows
all this, he's grow but like spouting that information even
though I didn't understand it, I was like, oh, say more,
(32:16):
keep talking, Derek Kuff.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Once I dance was over, Alison and I both looked
at the TV and just said, accept your tens. Take
those tens here, you're going to get them. And they
did get them. Now we're going back to the top
of the batting order. We are going on for the
second dance of the night. The first couple to do
his second dances, Elaine Hendrix and Allen Burst in Part two,
dancing up Hostable to When Doves Cry. We're talking about
(32:43):
not favoritism, but like Elaine has an advantage with the
music I think lately, like when if I think if
you pull a random person, if you pull a random
person on the street, just if I went outside and
just grabbed someone and said name a print song, I
think nine times out of ten they will say when
Doves Cry. I think it's either that or Purple Rain?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And did you look this up? Did you ask chat
GPT or you're just going ball to the wall and claiming.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'm just claiming this. I'm this just from my personal experience.
I think Windove's Cry is the most popular Prince song,
if not one of and Elaine got it. And I
was thinking about Wicked Night, when Elaine got Defying Gravity
the most popular Wicked slum. I'm not saying this isn't
one way or another, you know, because I think that's
equally a lot of a lot of pressure to get
(33:31):
like the biggest song, right right right. So she danced
to win Doves Cry, and it was great. It was
a great dance because it motivated Carrie and to run
out from behind the judges table saying it was an
authentic positive lay. I still do not know what that means.
I can't pick out an authentic possibility from an inauthentic one.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
You know, Elaine's my new bestI now, of course pat
her on the spelling it, and I like love her
and I championed her through this whole thing. But again,
I'm gonna go and this has nothing to do with her.
I do not think that's fair that the judge runs
out and tackles a celebrity like I'm just saying it's
(34:17):
I agree, it's happening, and I so on my Niqwell,
I was like my eyes. First of all, I didn't
have my contacts and so I couldn't see the TV
on nikewel and I'm watching and when it happened, I
was so taken aback. I was like, who's coming at her?
I didn't know who it was. I was like, is
Bendi Irwin coming out of somewhere and grabbing her like
I didn't know who was coming onto the dance floor,
(34:39):
and then it was Carrie in that was a joke,
thank you, okay.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, it was good after seeing this.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Because that is going to influence votes.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Correct, yes, yes, it is, it very much is U?
After this? Uh? Perfect ten? I started to think, what
is the confetti budget for this television program? There's so
much confetti. I know that is part of the game,
but oh.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
My god, recycle confetti.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I was wondering that, like they I know, during commercial
bakes they sweep it up, but like, can you just
put it back in the cannons? How does that work?
Is it different confetti for each answer? I don't know.
I want to talk to the confetti coordinator over there.
I have so many questions.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Oh oh oh oh, I can answer that. Oh no, no, no, no,
it was all consistently the same color, right it was
the gold.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. No.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
I just wondered, like afterwards, like where does it go?
Can you break that down? Confetti? I was thinking about
the earth?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh of course, yes. I mean it's mostly it's paper
or tissue, right, so to be able to you know,
I can compact that they really.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Do use it week after week, which is another that
that's very not sanitary. Possibly, and this is just a theory,
but like, do you know when you go to restaurants
and they tell you never to take the mints. They're
on the host host stand because they have fecal party.
Did you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Fecal particles most like just like the salt and pepper shakers.
That's another thing. Like, yeah, covered in soy sauce at.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
A Japanese restaurant because people like put their hands.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
And they never get cleaned. People put their hands on
and yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
So this confetti is touching everybody and then retouching everybody.
There's I mean, this is more than swap and spit.
Your like swap and sweat anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
We're moved on to our our next dance.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
This is they could sell it on eBay for a
lot of money. I'm just saying I'd buy it. I
would buy it me too.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Alex Earl and velschmrokoffs. He's second dance. They dance a
Vienni's Waltz to Purple Rain, another huge print song. I
would argue up there with with windows cry uh and uh.
Alex is she's ready to be voted off in this
in this particular package. I think she's like preparing herself
mentally to go home, which made me kind of sad.
(37:03):
But the dance had such fluidity in it. That's something
that I noticed. And Val did this cool movee. He
like pulled her by her leg. I don't want to
say he dragged her like a caveman, be like kind
of guided her with her leg with those long legs.
We would love to talk about.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yes, even though she's only five.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Six, she's only five six, but she seems so tall.
She's got so tall energy. And Carrie Anne loved this.
She was saying, a performance like this will go down
in history, and it made me.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
It made me for a season. She's never seen anything
like that. Isn't that what she said?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yes, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
What do you find that true?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I don't know. I see it.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I loved it, But then when she goes in and
says something like that, it makes me not love it.
It's like too much hype. And now I'm getting stubborn,
and I'm like, I love that. And when she says
that this will go down history, I'm like, no, Now
I don't think it says good.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I agree, and I think that what she's doing, especially
on this particular night, she's reacting to what she said
the previous round, like she's like she'll give someone a
critique and be like, it's the semi final, it's I
gotta be hard, and then she'll get booted. And then
the next one be like that is the best dance
that has ever been in the history of all time. Like, okay, Carriyan,
we we gotta figure something out here. We got to
(38:21):
pick a Laine. It's it's wild.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
It's fun to watch that.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I gotta say, Okay, yes, it is fun to watch.
So yeah, I mean they got a perfect score. Now
we have a Dylan and Daniella's second dance. It was
a chot shot to Kiss by Prince and uh, he
you know, Danielle tells Dylan in the rehearsal part that
he's doing everything a champion does, and that was I
(38:48):
thought that was so inspiring. I loved hearing that. And uh,
they keep using this metaphor like it's a marathon, it's
a marathon, and now she says it's a sprint. We
have we have reached the end of the metaphor of
the marathon. It is a it is a sprint. Here
this was a cool dance. I thought the air guitar
was really fun to watch. More Zach Effron and the
(39:08):
audience and uh, we got we got in. During the judgment,
we get to see more like specific dance moves from
Derek Cuff. That was the New Yorker's line. I don't
know what that is exactly, but I loved hearing it.
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I am such a huge fan and Danielle's choreography, but
I don't know. There was a little his chaw shaw
arms I didn't love.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I agree, and uh, you know attend from Bruno nine
from everybody else. Second appearance from Whitney Love and Mark Dallas,
Uh lots. So she's they're dancing a Viennie Waltz to
Slow Love and a big part of it is keeping
(39:53):
her back arched in a very specific way. And there
she's talking about how hard it is to do and
I know it started. I can barely do it now.
I'm doing just a little bit of it here as
we record this, and you can see she's so focused
on in the dance, and I think she did a
good job. Her back was perfectly arch but like, what
a challenging thing to have to think about on top
of all the moves and where your arms are going
(40:14):
to be and how your face looks, and it's all
so much physicality with these kind of things.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
It is I mean I went down the rabbit hole
afterwards of looking at all the pictures on Instagram and
to see the progress of all of their bodies. Oh yeah, physically,
I mean because it's grueling, it is wild. And the
pros even say like from for their bodies physically from
(40:40):
beginning to end to the finals, like it's like a
whole transformation. And I was just looking at what like
her strength and her muscles and fluidity like wow.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
In the during the judges segment, Derek says something that
I think is in direct response to what is happening
in the Secret Lives and Mormon Wives that is on
everyone's mind, especially the viewers. He says to her, I uh, this, uh,
this dance was so you and I think you're so
courageous for sharing your ambition and your dreams. And I
(41:12):
appreciated that because she's getting a lot of heat for
doing just that. And we tell people, especially women, like
you know you need to you shouldn't be afraid of
what you want in life. But then when someone does
that on TV, then she all of a sudden she's
a villain because she didn't want to go on the
TV show to just hang out with her friends. She
had like goals in mind for her, for her greater accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Oh my gosh, don't get me started. We got to
wrap up soon. Like, it is a very like archaic
notion that what is the old saying if a man
were to make these requests act like this, he's strong,
he's going for his dreams. As gold women historically, if
they act that way, they are quote unquote a bitch. Right, yes, yes,
(41:57):
And now you know in the new era, no one
says that it's the villain era, so they're the villain.
But yeah, you're right, she's a strong woman anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Which actually makes it kind of hard. You know, we're
ragging on Carrie Anne a little bit here, which makes
it she's the only woman on that judges panel, and
she gets a lot of heat for like saying the
unpopular thing. And I tried, you know, I like to
become an involved man. But also I'm like, is she
allowed as a like, she's allowed as a woman to
speak her she's speaking her mind here. You know, she's
not saying something popular, but she's allowed to do that,
(42:30):
you know, I don't know. I feel she's an interesting
tough spot carry.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
I don't know if she gets booed, because ever gender
speaking out, they would all get booed. But she's taking
chances that the two men won't.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
That's true. Yeah, Carrie Anne was actually the only one
to not give them a ten for this one. She
but she had great things to say. Jordan, Chiles and
Azraso said their second dance of the night in Argentine tangota.
You got the look, and Ezra points out in the
(43:05):
pre in the rehearsal package, he's like pointing out a
step from the Argentine tango that He's like, the audience
will know. And Jordan's having a problem with this iconic.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
He says, this is an iconic. The pros do this
a lot like Pasha did this with me. We have
to do this move. It's an iconic for this dance.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
In the ballroom, and this one it's like a it's
a I don't know how to describe it, because when
you said the audience is going to know it, I
was like, oh God, I'm not going to know this,
but I knew what to look for once he kind
of pointed it out. It's like a her her leg
is like being kicking up around his it's like kind
of shuffling back.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
And we can see your hands right now. It's like
you're playing a hang man.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah, I'm doing a really specific and intricate representation of
the dance with my fingers. And she kicks Ezra so
much in rehearsal, kicking him in the shin. I felt
so bad for him, But that's the that's the game, baby.
You know, you got no pain, no gain. But so
because that during the dance, I watch her feet so
(44:04):
closely as almost all I watch, and I think she
nailed it. It was really an incredible improvement from the
first dance I thought, which I was not a fan of,
you know, and they got they got perfect tens. She
got a perfect score tens across the board for this one.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Again, back to your point, though it's a live show,
the packages are already planned, the scores. I don't know,
she's never gotten a ten before and now she gets tens.
But they saved it first second dance exactly definitely deserved
it over her first dance.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
It's very interesting. They're making a show. They're making a
show for entertainment, you know.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
And I love it because we are talking. It's a
conversation story about different things and theories. I love this.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
I love it. It's so fun. It's uh yeah. And now
our final dance of the night. And we should note
that in all these packages for the second dance, they
keep saying like, this is your final dance before the finals,
this is the final, this is your last shot to
like get into the finals. Yeah, so much extra pressure
for the second dance. My god, Robert I Win and
(45:09):
Whitney Carson dancing Aavini's Waltz to Wow by Prince So yeah,
every contestant for the second dance, and then they just
get definitely serious. It's like, Okay, no screwing around here.
We're not laughing, we're not having fun.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Robert has to be passionate and intense with Whitney in
this dance, and he is not comfortable doing that. So
it's kind of fun seeing him step out of his
comfort zone. This guy where everything seems to come easily
to him. Crazy control on this dance that I thought,
and a great finishing question.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
I didn't completely remember this song.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
This one I did not know either. Okay.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah, so I typidly went into that. I didn't know
the song at all. Let's be fair. Yeah, I'm gonna yeah.
I was like, and that bummed me out. I don't
know it was the closing dance of the Prince Night anyway.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
It's it's the first track on his thirty sixth album,
Plectrum Electrum. Yeah, from a twenty fourteen wow okay, a
newer Prince song. Yeah so, but despite not having a
relationship with the song, I thought it was a good dance.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Was that one of his last songs?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
It may have it may have binks he died in
what twenty fifteen I believe, Oh my goodness, Yeah yeah,
one of his one of his final tracks, rest in
peace of the legendary Prince. This was like an awesome
finishing move here. It was like top gun mode. But
(46:45):
he got dinged on the framing from from Derek. The
framing wasn't perfect, you know, but and that was that
was enough to knock off one point. Other than that,
he got almost a perfect score. Robert Irwin really going
into this, these finals, these finals so strong and now
we're down to the elimination so intense. I mean, there's
(47:08):
only one week left. This is like I was on
the edge of my seat watching this. It was I.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Forgot, even though I was literally on it last season.
I was like, wait, how is next week the finals?
And there's so many people moving on, but I forgot
in the very first part of the finals. Next week
some will go home.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Oh wow, next it's a three hour finale.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
I mean that's just kidding. Not the very first part
and maybe at the end of the first yeah, throughout
the show on dance again, but then three hours.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Yeah, it's three They're taking over all of ABC primetime.
They teased, so they announced who is safe and something
that I thought was I mean, I don't know why
I thought this was funny, but the way they announced
that Elaine was safe, I think a Fonza said it.
It was like, she's fifty four, she's injured, and she's
(47:59):
going to the finals. And I was like, she's an
incredible dancer. I know she has a lot of challenges,
but like, can we just say, like, you're going to
the finals, we have to go down this laundry list
of like maladies she's facing being not that being fifty
four is a is a challenge or something, but like
she's the oldest person there at this point.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
It's funny you say that because like when she says
I'm fifty four, I'm like, earlier in the season, I'm
like cool. But when he says it, I'm like no, no, no, no, no, no,
you don't get to say it about her, yes, like
I would.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
It just like reminded me, like I picture her like
walking a runway, like you know, and it's like she's
fifty four, she's injured, and she's going to the finals.
It just felt like a weird thing to say. Regardless,
I am happy for Alane.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
She is Moniker. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, It's like, can't she just to be a good dancer.
Elaine Hendricks going to the finals and we get down
to the bottom two Whitney Lovet with Mark Ballace and
Jordan Chiles and Ezrasosa.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
I was first. I mean, you guys all know what happened.
But it was between the three, so it's Jordan, it's
Whitney and.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
Dylan, which is who I kind of thought was going
to be down. Yeah, I thought that was going to
be the bottom three. Like at the end, I'm like,
oh yeah, I was like, I bet they're going to
put me in there for dramatic effect. But it's going
to be really between Dylan and Jordan, and Jordan's going
to go. That was pridition.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
That's what I thought too.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Yeah. Uh. And then and then they announced that Dylan
is safe and I was kind of blown away by that,
and I was like, oh my god, is this really
the night Whitney goes home?
Speaker 1 (49:41):
Same and that's when we really knew ye and I
deal was sealed.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
And and and Whitney gets eliminated. Whitney love it and
Mark Ballace go home. They were very gracious, They're very uh,
you know, thankful for the experience. I really liked what
Mark had to say, like thanked all the crew and
the and the agree the band and everything. I just thought,
you know, not didn't seem upset or bit or anything,
just kind of like this is Hey, this is the game.
(50:07):
We made it very very far.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
I feel like, though, when there's an award show and
some will come up and like be like, oh my god,
I really didn't expect to win, and you can tell
they really didn't, so they didn't prepare a speech.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
I felt like Whitney and Mark both had thought like,
if we go to night. Here's what we will say.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yeah, I think so. They seemed very prepared for that,
and it was and they came off great, and I
really appreciated them.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
Yeah, I loved what they said. Ezra dropped his Neyes
is his first final.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Yeah, I'm so happy for I mean it happy. I
don't think he's going to win, but I'm so excited
he gets this experience of going to the finals. This
is so fun, so exciting, and what a finals it's
gonna be. I can't wait. It's going to be three
hours long. My god, uh, kicking over all prime time,
so much dancing and anything could happen. I I just
(51:06):
don't know what's what's in store for me, for us,
for all of us, for us.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
Well, it's gonna be a fun three.
Speaker 2 (51:14):
Hours, that's right and well, And I promise.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Not to drink niquil. I will.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
I will drink niquil. How about that. I'll get blasted
off an quil and I'll watch this fever.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Okay to switch rolls, all right, Freaky Friday, let's do it. Okay,
ready to misstep out of here.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
I'm ready
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio Podcast. Okay, okay, woo,
I just got to tell you Eastern Allen. Okay, everyone,
welcome to Misstepping. We are recapping Dancing with the Stars
last night, the semi finals. It was Prince night. So
you know how I've been so sick lately, Like my
(00:30):
house just keeps all my kids keep getting sick. Yes,
it's a thing, five kids. But okay, so I had
like the I mean, I can't say this to you
because you always have the longest workdays, but I had
my longest work day yesterday started at four am with
all day and then I was like just to be like,
whatever I can do it prove a point to myself.
(00:51):
I don't know what I was doing. I should have
ordered in. I decided to cook dinner for the kids.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, it's like I just like want to sabotage myself,
Like I don't know what it is. So then Bo's
sick in bed, so we decide we're going to watch
Dancing with the Stars after dinner. We're in bed. He's
not going to school today because he's sick, and I'm like, okay,
you know what, We're going to watch Dancing with the Stars,
get in bed to no da. I take nichol because
(01:20):
I'm sick. Wow, it's a whole different experience on Nichel.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And is this how it should be viewed? Is that
what you're telling people?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay? So what I am saying is because of me
and how my brain works. I was up early this morning.
I could have gone back and watched it, but as
the shock talk, I am, oh my god, did I
just coin that shock talk tee? I decided no, I
will not go back and rewatch it. I did look
at clips online. I'm going to give you my opinion
(01:55):
as it came out. Everyone does a Dancing with the
Star's recap, so this one, this it could be a
fun one, right, I'm excited a little spice to it,
and it's not that exciting. But I do have to
tell you one other thing. This morning, I was looking
through my closet. I don't wear purple, but I was like,
I kind of want to find purple and put it on.
So I'm still sick and like deliriously sick. So I
(02:18):
put on this purple one purple T shirt that I
find in my closet, which I'm wearing right now, which
some of you, well, it's not a video, but it's
Do you see it's pink? I do, Okay, So I
put it on and it starts to turn pink, and
I'm looking and I'm like rubbing my eyes. I'm like,
oh my god, wait, I took nicol last night, Like,
(02:39):
what's happening? Why am I like? Why is it turning pink?
Am I seeing things? Then? I remember? Do you remember
a company in the nineties called Gecko. Oh, it's like
the mood rings. It's the color changing clothing.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Gecko's back.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's back.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
They gave me some T shirts. I didn't realize. I
put it on. It started to turn pink, and I
thought it was just me. So here we are, my friend.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Wow, it was like thermal thermo color or something like
that changes with like heat, with body heat.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Wow, that's cool exactly. So I think I have a fever.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But let's go well, well, doc, I don't know my temperature,
but let me show you my Gecko shirt. It's changing colors. Okay,
isn't that enough? Free? Uh? Well, you know, purple would
have been great because it is Prince Knight on Dancing
with the Stars in Week ten, we're in the semi finals. Here,
we're down to the nitty gritty, down to the wire.
It's really really heating up. What a uh so Prince Knight.
(03:36):
Going into it, I was a little I'm not that
big of a Prince fan.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I I'm not, yes see on I like the hits,
but I was like why, I don't know, coming off
the twentieth Anniversary Week two, I was like, why is
it Prince Knight?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I just didn't understand.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And then there was a very clunky plug about halfway
through the show that kind of made sense to me.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They were not off with my nicol that way. I
didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Was at one point Alfonso has to do this like
really this mouthful of like a and the twentieth Anniversary
two discs special edition is available now of like his
greatest hits or something like that. Oh so that made
me realize. I mean that's what I think the reason
for it being printed.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
A lot of product and placement things this season, yes,
like the milkshay can Dylan Evron right, yes, like what
was that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Wicked and Rock Roll Hall of Fame was a big
pluggy one. But h So I went into this with apprehension,
but I really enjoyed it, and I was like, oh man,
this was a lot of really good friends songs.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So I love Prince. I mean, it just like brought
out all my like eighties and vibes, and I was
really excited. Like I felt the same way. I was like,
I don't know, and then once I heard all the songs,
I was like, oh, yeah, right back there. So I
was I was pumped. Wait did I tell you I
used to be friends with Apollonia?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Wow, so a friends not friends. I was friends with
Carmen Electra, who did date Prince, and she had the
loveliest things to say about him that he was a
really special, creative, amazing human. But Apollonia, in the eighties,
I used to go to Chasin's with my parents with
my dad Aaron Spelling, And do you like how I
(05:32):
felt the need to say that because people don't know
who my dad is. Oh what, I'm not kidding. All
the time people come out to me, You're like, I
loved your dad. Spielberg like Spelling, both geniuses all the time,
Tory Spielberg. Nope, nope, anyway, no, So in the eighties,
(05:55):
so for some reason we were at some like big
party at Chasin's, and Appollonia was there. It was right
when the movie when Purple Rain came out, and I
was super psyched, and she ended up hanging out with
me all night. I'll find the picture somewhere I had
me and Apollonia from the eighties. I was little. I
was like eight or ten, I don't know. Not I
(06:17):
shouldn't have been watching Purple Rain. Okay, well, good digress.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We had a great opening number, lots of FaceTime from
Pasha in the opening, which I appreciated. I got to
see a lot of him and a lot of his emoting,
which was really fun.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You got to shine.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
He really shined.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And here's a rock star.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So this week, the couples are dancing twice, which sounds
so exhausting, and I feel so bad for them. There's
two dances per night or it's crazy. So we'll we'll
go through. We'll go through in order as the dances happened.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, And so you know we're gonna be revisiting the
couples twice. We're starting off with Elaine Hendricks.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I feel like, in general though, that they did the
choreography kind of condense it a little bit so because
they had to do two different dances, it wasn't as
spectacular as their dances usually are.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I did feel that way. And there was also like
less like sets I noticed on the dances this week,
Like there wasn't as much like props, and it was
mostly like a lot of screens and fog and stuff
like that. And I wonder if it's.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Because all their money went to whoever has the rights
to all the prince stuff. Yes, exactly right, Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, no, I did notice that. So Elaine Hendricks now
in versus and they kick off the show dancing a
foxtrot to I Want to Be Your Lover, And so
they're in the rehearsal package they're talking, you know, the shoulders.
Elaine's talking about bringing the shoulders down. That's something they're
working on everybody. Not everybody, but like most of the
(07:55):
dancers seem to have an issue with that. But I
thought this first dance was very smooth, really big arm
moves like me too, exploring the space. I thought that
was really fun.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't see the shoulder thing. I didn't Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I didn't see it either.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Maybe at this point they're like we have to really
critique things.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh yes, and more left Carrie Anne makes that so
apparent throughout the entire episode. She is like, we are
in the semi finals. The gloves are off. We need
to look for what is wrong here because we need
to thin the herd. And right out the gate, I
haven't heard that so long. Right out the gate, carry
(08:35):
Anne is like getting booed and just like breaking tough
news to these dancers I like, and for for Elane,
she said like, there's nothing wrong with the dance. I
just want to see you push a little more and
like something else she said that I was so confused,
or she says it's to Alex actually in the next dance,
but like she says this, like she kind of goes
(08:57):
back and forth between like I wanted to look effortless,
and then she says like I want to see your effort.
I want to see you trying. And I'm like, Okay,
there's a lot of flip flopping and carry on in
this episode and I'm going to point it out every time.
It's driving me crazy. But you know, they got pretty
good scores for this one, straight nines across. Yeah, and
(09:19):
uh yeah, you know they each had some notes, but
but a pretty good dance overall.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And we're so like, how I'm not completely critiquing it
because I cannot remember it, like thinking really hard, and
I'm like, God, her costume, wardrobe on point, hair, great dance.
I agree, effortless, put more effort in. I remember this.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Next this one's rough. It's rough because they dance twice,
so it's like I I even I get confused, and
I have so many notes in here, but it's it's confusing.
So we're moving on to Alex Earl and Vaalashmorkowski. Their
first dance. They danced and Argentine tango to a little
red Corvette. Man, it's such a good s it's so good.
I was not really into alex Earle before Dancing with
(10:05):
the Stars.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Uh, since same, You know, I confess I didn't even
know who she was.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, I think I think I've shown this before, but
like I bought We've talked about her light, right, that
Alex Earle light shoot.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You told me that last week and I still didn't
buy it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, I guess. I like, I'm so sorry. I since
we've spoken, I learned that someone brought this light to
Dancing with the Stars and she signed it for them,
and I thought that was such a fun idea. And
if I ever get to meet cool, if I ever
get to meet alex Earle, she'll be signing this very light.
Uh yeah. I I like alex Earle. I especially like
(10:38):
her on this show. I think she's trying so hard.
She's putting so much effort into this. She is so
locked in, especially in this dance, and you know, okay,
this this is not great, but uh, there's every time
there's Dancing with the Stars, every time there's a season,
there's always like, oh, is there gonna be a romance
or something between the between the pro and the and
(11:02):
the star because it's such an intimate thing. For some reason,
this episode, there was like several times where I really
wanted them to kiss. Platonically. I wanted the like I
don't want alex Earl and Volstrukowski to date. I know
Vala is married.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
No, I wanted.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Them to kiss.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
The dance I just had I just had chills because
this is wild. At certain points, like when they were
up with Julianne and like I kept just looking like
at his hands and stuff, and then I look at
Jenna in the background, like, is she okay with that?
Is she okay with that? And I'm like, god, I
guess they have to be okay with that because that's
part of it. But I felt something too okay. And
(11:42):
I know Jenna and I know Val and I love
them together and they have a beautiful son. But yeah,
you get it's a show romance. It's like when you're
watching a rom com. You just it's okay, the characters ish,
and you want them to kind of in your world.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Be together exactly. I mean I don't actually want them
to kiss, but I kind of do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Bruno summed it up perfectly. I thought he told Alex, uh,
you're a jem that gets brighter and brighter. And I
have to agree with Bruno there.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I agree. So but when I hm, I feel like
her face though there's something and she has all the moves,
but her face she's so I feel like she seems
I don't know her, but seems so kind and sweet
(12:35):
that I can't see she can't make like a tough face.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah that makes sense. It does make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
There's moments where she's doing the leading, but I look
at her face and I'm like, no, she still looks
sweet but she's not an actress, you guys.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So, yeah, she does get Ready with Me videos. She
doesn't even he dances on TikTok. Yeah, so she They
got a ten from Derek who didn't like it. He
loved it, and a nine from Bruna and a nine
from carry Anne. That was very fun. Next up Whitney
Levitt and Mark Ballast. We have to discuss what's going on, uh,
(13:13):
you know, behind the scenes of this dance of these dancers.
Since read just before this week, so like on I
think it was on Friday. The new season of The
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has released. All the episodes
are out. This was filmed earlier in the year, and
in the season there is a lot of Dancing with
(13:35):
the Stars stuff. There's a lot of dancing with the
Stars talk because so Whitney was not part of the
show in the beginning of the season. They said there
was contract negotiation stuff. Whitney wanted tickets to the auscar
Whitney said for Secret Lives and Mormon Wives, Whitney said,
I would not I will not come back unless I
get tickets to the Oscars and a role in a
(13:56):
scripted show. That's what she wanted myth.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It is like back in the day when Jaylo like
no one could look her in mine. She had to
have diet coke on set, Like these are rumors, Like
what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
This is what they said? The girls say this on
the show to camera and Whitney does not deny it.
What so she is not there? At my heart, I so, okay,
I'm gonna explain to you why this is good. This
is why this made me like Whitney. She is not
getting a lot of love. I am definitely the minority here.
But same she is not in the first part of
(14:28):
the show because all the other girls are like, oh,
she wanted tickets to the Oscars and she wanted a
scripted role and she clearly didn't get it because she's
not here. And then probably halfway through the season, they
start interviewing Whitney and she says, I hear that part
of the show this year is going to be an
audition for Dancing with the Stars. They're going to pick
(14:50):
one or two of the girls from Mormon Wives to
be on the show. And this is something I've wanted
since I was a little kid. I want to do that.
I will come back to the show if I to
be on Dancing with the Stars. And she does come
back to the show and she meets with the executive producer,
Tina Cat Dina Cats, She's in the show, and so
(15:13):
Whitney kind of makes it clear like I am only
doing the secualizer Mormon wise because I want to be
on Dancing with the Stars. I personally do not see
an issue with that, Like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
You're okay. First of all, right, before we started, so
you guys, Mormon Wives has become like the first two seasons,
like it was my like anthem like everything, like I
would leave it on in the background, watch it over
and over. It became my new I used to so
I keep the TV on while I sleep. It's just
something I've done since childhood. And my dad did it.
(15:44):
Don't judge me, judge me fine. And it was the Netflix,
just the Netflix like.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Like menu menu, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, So I was good. I got from I used
to have sound on. Now I have no sound on.
I have that. But then Mormon Wives I got obsessed
with and that became like very low but on in
the background. For some reason, maybe because I've been in
the sick bubble and working like I did not know
the third season is out. I just told me this
before the show.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It's it's good.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's you know what, I'm binging all night. Yeah, even
know you're spoiling it right now.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You'll see that in the news. There's there's so much turns. Yeah,
you're you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it. So
she's gonna be So.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You agree with this, You're like, yeah, I wouldn't. Why though, hmm,
I mean, I don't know. I'm trying to put myself
in her shoes. Like imagine back in the day, if
I was like, I will only come back to nine
oh two and oh if I get that's a big crap.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Shoot, yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
What if they're like bye, no, sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And I mean I think that's that's kind of what
happened initially, because she was like I want to be
on a show and they're like no, thank you, No, no,
that's not happening. She's like, okay, well I'm not coming
back then, and then she but.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Halsey, wow, very for even more now good for Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I need to And I think that she's playing this
whole villain thing up just to get to get attention.
And to stand out, and it's working because she is
like the quote unquote villain of the show, and she
people talk about her like, I'm sorry, people to talk
about Miranda the same way from Mormon Wives. Do you
know who Miranda?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Nope, okay, exactly, she's like one of the main people.
But like she doesn't get talked about the same way
as Whitney because Whitney is a polarizing figure.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And do you and you think in some form it's strategic.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I think it's entirely stow.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, I mean I am a little upset with Whitney
right now, okay because I DM her. Oh she probably
gets so many people sliding into her DMS. She to respond.
I told her what a big fan I am. But
that's fine because sometimes public figures, like when you have
the verified And I know this because I missed dms
(18:10):
from other celebrity friends for years, they don't get it.
So I'm not really mad at her.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I just there's a one of my favorite stories, is
you know t Pain He yes, he didn't. There's like
a second folder or something in your DMS and he
didn't know about that folder and he missed, like he said,
this he missed like years of like crazy big artists
trying to collaborate with him, like all o, my god,
(18:37):
like you know, and it was just it's funny to
think about it.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah you miss it, you don't little known fact. So
mass singer I was in the first season. He won,
but you don't know who everyone is. And was it
the first show or second show? It was like a
battle off and I won against.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Wow quite the feather in your cat. Yeah, it's taken
on t pain. So anyway back into the ballroom, Whitney
and Mark, the pressure is on. I mean they've been
my like the entire season. I've just been saying it's
between Whitney and Robert, those are the two I think
are going to win.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And this this first dance they dance at Chatcha to
nineteen ninety nine by Prince because it's Prince name. It's
such a good song. They're all good songs. They're also good.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, so this dance was good, but to me it
felt really like tiktokie. I think this dance like there's
a lot of like of Whitney looking like directly into
the camera doing a funny face and then there's a
lot of like embellishments, like a lot of like, you know,
doing the like I don't know what you call it,
but like you lick your finger and then press your
(19:51):
bottom like it's hot, you know, and then like yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Fair guitars, mark chorey craft and more whitney craft in
some way.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes, yes, which is cool to have a star taking
on that role. But also I was like, is this
what they want here? I don't know if this is
what we're going for. And then at the end she
does these like these splits and she kind of bounced
a little bit, and I don't think that was intentional,
and I feel like the judges were not going to
like that. But I was wrong because she almost got
a perfect score. Carrie Anne gave her a bump, and
(20:24):
Bruno got really mad at Carrie Anne for that. He
says that she was out of her mind and the
dance was literal perfection. So maybe I was wrong about
that bump on the on the splits, But what.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Was it she said, I have to mark you down?
She said, I have to right off the bat. Yeah,
what was it for exactly?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It is for the like did she see a mistake
halfway through she wants her to focus more on technique.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mistakes are okay, it was something that she has to
mark down because it's like illegal in the dance.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yes, yeah, yeah yeah, something like that. Yeah yeah yeah.
But you know you pointed this out. I think it's
no surprise it. We'll just say it right now. I mean,
like Whitney, Whitney goes home. We can say that now.
And I think when you watch this, you can kind
she I think she's expecting it throughout the entire episode,
(21:17):
like she's like kind of preparing.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I got chills. I felt it too the whole time.
You know, I love her just as much as you do.
And it was Mark Dallas' big return. I wanted them
to go all the way.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I really didn't, and I really think that the whole show.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I'm like, they're going home.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
This this episode. I watched it in an interesting way
because normally I watch it later in the night. I
just watch it like on Disney Plus after the after
it's aired, you know, But this one I try to
watch it live. But I was I got home late,
so I started in the middle and I watched it
live from the middle to the end, and I went
back and watched the beginning, so at this point I
like knew the ending and everything, and I was watching
(21:58):
Whitney and Mark. I'm like, oh, happier times during this
first dance.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Oh my gosh. I know I do that all the time,
but I don't watch that ending except then if I
go on Instagram. Yes, like we all do fifty million
times a day, I'm like, oh, someone just told me,
damn it. Yeah. No, so you watched it a different way,
which to me was like when I saw the Blair
(22:24):
Witch Project or when I saw The Sixth Sense. I
already knew. So I watched it a different way because
the ending changes everything.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Random callback. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Dylan Efron and Daniellea Cara Gosh. Another couple to watch
their first dance was a Tango too. I would die
for you. Zach is here. Zach Efron has entered the ballroom.
He is here. They do not want us to forget
about it. He gets shown so much of the entire episode,
and I feel so bad for him. He is on
(23:07):
camera every two seconds.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
He knew what he was signing up for.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yeah, I know, but also like, this is probably why
he waited so long to go, because he knew this
was going to happen, and I got the vibe he
just wanted to sit there and watch his brother, you know,
but he was on camera every.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
See I thought. I was like, okay, he's what he's
He hasn't gone this entire time. Was this strategic? And
they're like, okay, you know what, it's a semi finals.
He might not make it next week, Like we got
to put him here to get him to the finals,
or we got to put him here because he has
to see him before he home.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's that makes sense. That's true. So Dylan's
biggest challenge is keeping his butt under control, keeping his
butt in. There's a lot of butt talk in this
first dance, and I thought he did a great dance.
Danielle is so much fun to watch. She is just
she might be my favorite pro. I really love watching
(24:05):
her dance.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
She's she do agree.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
She does this move in this first dance where she
like whips her leg like really high in the air,
really fast. It's just the physicality is so incredible from
Daniella Kara Gosh.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Well, every season she comes up with something that goes
viral online, people trying it. Yes, like her swimming things. Yes,
last week with Dylan, like everybody's doing it. Have you
tried it yet?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Without I have not tried that yet. I'm afraid to try,
but maybe we will this WEEKENDU.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Wait, did you see what went viral?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Though?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Because they filmed like behind the scenes and okay and
and Dylan, And there was like a moment where they
line them up at the very end to see who's
going home and they know what placement they're going to be,
and it was like before during commercial and she walks
(25:04):
towards him and he puts his arms out the hugger
and she keeps going backstage. So everybody started putting like, oh,
is something wrong? What happened? Yeah? And she's like, let
me clear this up. This is so embarrassing. I was
going backstage to pick my wedgie. I was like, God,
bless I love your friend.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
The honesty of Danielle Carrey.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Would you believe that? You don't believe that? I?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh, I know, I believe it. I believe it. At
a recent.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Then I went down the rabbit hole. Sorry, we're skipping ahead.
Afterwards when they're like we're going to the finals, I
watched them do a video TikTok right or whatever in
his trailer, and they have their burgers and everything, and
I was like looking for so maybe that's why I
saw it, But I felt like their body language was.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Off interesting, interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I don't know, I'm just trying to stir up trouble
right now.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, Dylan's butt was beautifully under control, according to Bruno.
This was another great dance. I was watching his feet
a lot, and I didn't notice this, but Karrian had
a problem with his footwork. So his butt is beautifully
under control according to Bruno. But Carrie Anne had an
issue with his footwork. I personally, I was watching the
footwork on this tango and I didn't notice this, but
(26:26):
Carri was.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I thought it was great too, but not enough to
get a perfect score. He got straight nines across the
board for this Tango's We're Moving Along here. Jordan Chiles
and ezras So their first dance of Prince Night Dancing
a give to Raspberry Beret. Such a good song, another
like classic Prince song. I mean, we got all the
(26:51):
hits here, we got all the hits. Jordan said she's
never had a perfect score as a gymnast, which was surprising.
To me because I just assumed that. Yeah. I was like,
she's so skilled and so talented, but she's feeling very
confident about this dance tonight and her timing is really good.
But also I was watching this and I'm like, I
(27:12):
think this is one of her weakest dances. I was
not feeling I'm like, oh, Jordan love it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I was like she was nervous or like, I don't
know the pressure. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah I do, I do, I think. And they point
this out in the judging that like she is as
an athlete, she's very obsessed with being the top, being
number one, beating at least herself, if not everybody else.
From the last week, I think that's gotten getting in
her head. I was like, oh, Jordan's going home, She's
she's done for I really thought that one.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, well, except we knew, like in our hearts, we
were like, Whitney's going home, but we were like kind
of like Jordan should go.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yes, Yeah, I've thought so. If this was like reverse
voting where you vote who goes home, I probably would
have voted Jordan like all the.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Island you love a love Island reference, yes.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Or survivor either one oh.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Or survivor you know watch that one either?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
More contemporary from toy spelling straight nines across the board
for everybody on, for Jordan and Azra on their first dance,
and closing out this first round of dances, Robert Irwin
and Whitney Carson dancing a jive to Baby I'm a Star.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
And can jump in for one second?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Please?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Do you think Robert Irwin hates me? I got slammed
last week, you guys in the press. I mean for
what I said on our show misstepping.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Hey, if you can't be honest here, then what's the
point of doing this?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You're right, You're right. And anyway I did say, I
was like, do you think it's fair that Bindy got
to come into the dance at the end last week?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Anyway, I thought, I try again to read bad comments.
People were very angry with me. We should I reach
out to Robert Erwin? Oh my god, I mean why not?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I love to talk about.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
You guys. I love that guy. I was just calling
it like, I don't know, we're critiquing a competition show, right, Yes,
isn't this what I'm supposed to be doing?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yes? Exactly, And they played that clip again in this package,
and I thought about what you said, and I agreed
again that I was like, okay, this doesn't feel fair.
Was no one coming out for you then, because I
wasn't on Beverly Hills nine or two and o and
true Beverly Hills. I don't have those credits behind my name.
I'm safe here.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I'm safe.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I guess say whatever I want. How about this, everybody.
I was the one who told to me to say
that last week. It was my idea.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
This is not true.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, but I don't know. We've we've kind of floated
this idea since the beginning. Not that he's like a
plant or anything, but there's just a lot of other
factors at play here. He's like too good, he's he
has a lot of advantages. He seems like a very
sweet young man. I'm really touched by everything he does
with his family. I really think he's a great guy.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Do you think he and Seldi you're together?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I don't. I heard that too. I don't know. I'm
not sure. Cute, it would be very cute. I love
that idea, and we could potentially have two Mirror Ball
winners in a company.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So wait, you know how like you, we've now created
a character, so it's a showman's but it's not real
you guys. We know they have partners in real life,
of course, but we're in the rom com world here.
There are moments where I'm like, oh, my gosh, Whitney
and she is married, has a lovely family. But I'm like, oh,
(30:49):
wouldn't that show man's if we're just watching it from
this perspective, like she's the cougar and he's like the
young like right eyed, bushy tail.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I love it too. I think I wrote in their
second dance or no, no, it was this first one
I wanted. This is another one where I really wanted
them to kiss.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Okay, fine, fine, okay, I'm so glad you're saying it,
even though I'll take the heat here.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
So this dance was amazing. I mean, they got perfect
tense and they deserved it was. There wasn't a single misstep.
Watching this, I'm like, oh, he's winning the whole thing.
We've been saying this whole time. I'm even more convinced
now he's taking the whole thing home. My favorite part
of the judging was Derek starts listing off all these
details of a jive that I did not know and
(31:36):
I've never heard before. Like he talks about a sugar
push whatever that is. I thought that was. I thought
there's another part where he talks about New Yorker's. I
think that's in a different dance, but oh yeah, that's
later on with Dylan and Daniel's second dance. But there's
all these other details of dances I'm learning tonight that
I really enjoyed.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It's so interesting. I picked that up as well, and
part of me was like, I don't care, move on,
I just want to see it. In part of me
was like Derek Huff for the win here. Wow, there
was something very sexy about him. No, obviously he knows
all this, he's grow but like spouting that information even
though I didn't understand it, I was like, oh, say more,
(32:16):
keep talking, Derek Kuff.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Once I dance was over, Alison and I both looked
at the TV and just said, accept your tens. Take
those tens here, you're going to get them. And they
did get them. Now we're going back to the top
of the batting order. We are going on for the
second dance of the night. The first couple to do
his second dances, Elaine Hendrix and Allen Burst in Part two,
dancing up Hostable to When Doves Cry. We're talking about
(32:43):
not favoritism, but like Elaine has an advantage with the
music I think lately, like when if I think if
you pull a random person, if you pull a random
person on the street, just if I went outside and
just grabbed someone and said name a print song, I
think nine times out of ten they will say when
Doves Cry. I think it's either that or Purple Rain?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And did you look this up? Did you ask chat
GPT or you're just going ball to the wall and claiming.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'm just claiming this. I'm this just from my personal experience.
I think Windove's Cry is the most popular Prince song,
if not one of and Elaine got it. And I
was thinking about Wicked Night, when Elaine got Defying Gravity
the most popular Wicked slum. I'm not saying this isn't
one way or another, you know, because I think that's
equally a lot of a lot of pressure to get
(33:31):
like the biggest song, right right right. So she danced
to win Doves Cry, and it was great. It was
a great dance because it motivated Carrie and to run
out from behind the judges table saying it was an
authentic positive lay. I still do not know what that means.
I can't pick out an authentic possibility from an inauthentic one.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
You know, Elaine's my new bestI now, of course pat
her on the spelling it, and I like love her
and I championed her through this whole thing. But again,
I'm gonna go and this has nothing to do with her.
I do not think that's fair that the judge runs
out and tackles a celebrity like I'm just saying it's
(34:17):
I agree, it's happening, and I so on my Niqwell,
I was like my eyes. First of all, I didn't
have my contacts and so I couldn't see the TV
on nikewel and I'm watching and when it happened, I
was so taken aback. I was like, who's coming at her?
I didn't know who it was. I was like, is
Bendi Irwin coming out of somewhere and grabbing her like
I didn't know who was coming onto the dance floor,
(34:39):
and then it was Carrie in that was a joke,
thank you, okay.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, it was good after seeing this.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Because that is going to influence votes.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Correct, yes, yes, it is, it very much is U?
After this? Uh? Perfect ten? I started to think, what
is the confetti budget for this television program? There's so
much confetti. I know that is part of the game,
but oh.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
My god, recycle confetti.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I was wondering that, like they I know, during commercial
bakes they sweep it up, but like, can you just
put it back in the cannons? How does that work?
Is it different confetti for each answer? I don't know.
I want to talk to the confetti coordinator over there.
I have so many questions.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Oh oh oh oh, I can answer that. Oh no, no, no, no,
it was all consistently the same color, right it was
the gold.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. No.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
I just wondered, like afterwards, like where does it go?
Can you break that down? Confetti? I was thinking about
the earth?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh of course, yes. I mean it's mostly it's paper
or tissue, right, so to be able to you know,
I can compact that they really.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Do use it week after week, which is another that
that's very not sanitary. Possibly, and this is just a theory,
but like, do you know when you go to restaurants
and they tell you never to take the mints. They're
on the host host stand because they have fecal party.
Did you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Fecal particles most like just like the salt and pepper shakers.
That's another thing. Like, yeah, covered in soy sauce at.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
A Japanese restaurant because people like put their hands.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
And they never get cleaned. People put their hands on
and yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
So this confetti is touching everybody and then retouching everybody.
There's I mean, this is more than swap and spit.
Your like swap and sweat anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
We're moved on to our our next dance.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
This is they could sell it on eBay for a
lot of money. I'm just saying I'd buy it. I
would buy it me too.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Alex Earl and velschmrokoffs. He's second dance. They dance a
Vienni's Waltz to Purple Rain, another huge print song. I
would argue up there with with windows cry uh and uh.
Alex is she's ready to be voted off in this
in this particular package. I think she's like preparing herself
mentally to go home, which made me kind of sad.
(37:03):
But the dance had such fluidity in it. That's something
that I noticed. And Val did this cool movee. He
like pulled her by her leg. I don't want to
say he dragged her like a caveman, be like kind
of guided her with her leg with those long legs.
We would love to talk about.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yes, even though she's only five.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Six, she's only five six, but she seems so tall.
She's got so tall energy. And Carrie Anne loved this.
She was saying, a performance like this will go down
in history, and it made me.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
It made me for a season. She's never seen anything
like that. Isn't that what she said?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yes, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
What do you find that true?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I don't know. I see it.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I loved it, But then when she goes in and
says something like that, it makes me not love it.
It's like too much hype. And now I'm getting stubborn,
and I'm like, I love that. And when she says
that this will go down history, I'm like, no, Now
I don't think it says good.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I agree, and I think that what she's doing, especially
on this particular night, she's reacting to what she said
the previous round, like she's like she'll give someone a
critique and be like, it's the semi final, it's I
gotta be hard, and then she'll get booted. And then
the next one be like that is the best dance
that has ever been in the history of all time. Like, okay, Carriyan,
we we gotta figure something out here. We got to
(38:21):
pick a Laine. It's it's wild.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
It's fun to watch that.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I gotta say, Okay, yes, it is fun to watch.
So yeah, I mean they got a perfect score. Now
we have a Dylan and Daniella's second dance. It was
a chot shot to Kiss by Prince and uh, he
you know, Danielle tells Dylan in the rehearsal part that
he's doing everything a champion does, and that was I
(38:48):
thought that was so inspiring. I loved hearing that. And uh,
they keep using this metaphor like it's a marathon, it's
a marathon, and now she says it's a sprint. We
have we have reached the end of the metaphor of
the marathon. It is a it is a sprint. Here
this was a cool dance. I thought the air guitar
was really fun to watch. More Zach Effron and the
(39:08):
audience and uh, we got we got in. During the judgment,
we get to see more like specific dance moves from
Derek Cuff. That was the New Yorker's line. I don't
know what that is exactly, but I loved hearing it.
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I am such a huge fan and Danielle's choreography, but
I don't know. There was a little his chaw shaw
arms I didn't love.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I agree, and uh, you know attend from Bruno nine
from everybody else. Second appearance from Whitney Love and Mark Dallas,
Uh lots. So she's they're dancing a Viennie Waltz to
Slow Love and a big part of it is keeping
(39:53):
her back arched in a very specific way. And there
she's talking about how hard it is to do and
I know it started. I can barely do it now.
I'm doing just a little bit of it here as
we record this, and you can see she's so focused
on in the dance, and I think she did a
good job. Her back was perfectly arch but like, what
a challenging thing to have to think about on top
of all the moves and where your arms are going
(40:14):
to be and how your face looks, and it's all
so much physicality with these kind of things.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
It is I mean I went down the rabbit hole
afterwards of looking at all the pictures on Instagram and
to see the progress of all of their bodies. Oh yeah, physically,
I mean because it's grueling, it is wild. And the
pros even say like from for their bodies physically from
(40:40):
beginning to end to the finals, like it's like a
whole transformation. And I was just looking at what like
her strength and her muscles and fluidity like wow.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
In the during the judges segment, Derek says something that
I think is in direct response to what is happening
in the Secret Lives and Mormon Wives that is on
everyone's mind, especially the viewers. He says to her, I uh, this, uh,
this dance was so you and I think you're so
courageous for sharing your ambition and your dreams. And I
(41:12):
appreciated that because she's getting a lot of heat for
doing just that. And we tell people, especially women, like
you know you need to you shouldn't be afraid of
what you want in life. But then when someone does
that on TV, then she all of a sudden she's
a villain because she didn't want to go on the
TV show to just hang out with her friends. She
had like goals in mind for her, for her greater accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Oh my gosh, don't get me started. We got to
wrap up soon. Like, it is a very like archaic
notion that what is the old saying if a man
were to make these requests act like this, he's strong,
he's going for his dreams. As gold women historically, if
they act that way, they are quote unquote a bitch. Right, yes, yes,
(41:57):
And now you know in the new era, no one
says that it's the villain era, so they're the villain.
But yeah, you're right, she's a strong woman anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Which actually makes it kind of hard. You know, we're
ragging on Carrie Anne a little bit here, which makes
it she's the only woman on that judges panel, and
she gets a lot of heat for like saying the
unpopular thing. And I tried, you know, I like to
become an involved man. But also I'm like, is she
allowed as a like, she's allowed as a woman to
speak her she's speaking her mind here. You know, she's
not saying something popular, but she's allowed to do that,
(42:30):
you know, I don't know. I feel she's an interesting
tough spot carry.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
I don't know if she gets booed, because ever gender
speaking out, they would all get booed. But she's taking
chances that the two men won't.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
That's true. Yeah, Carrie Anne was actually the only one
to not give them a ten for this one. She
but she had great things to say. Jordan, Chiles and
Azraso said their second dance of the night in Argentine tangota.
You got the look, and Ezra points out in the
(43:05):
pre in the rehearsal package, he's like pointing out a
step from the Argentine tango that He's like, the audience
will know. And Jordan's having a problem with this iconic.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
He says, this is an iconic. The pros do this
a lot like Pasha did this with me. We have
to do this move. It's an iconic for this dance.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
In the ballroom, and this one it's like a it's
a I don't know how to describe it, because when
you said the audience is going to know it, I
was like, oh God, I'm not going to know this,
but I knew what to look for once he kind
of pointed it out. It's like a her her leg
is like being kicking up around his it's like kind
of shuffling back.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
And we can see your hands right now. It's like
you're playing a hang man.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah, I'm doing a really specific and intricate representation of
the dance with my fingers. And she kicks Ezra so
much in rehearsal, kicking him in the shin. I felt
so bad for him, But that's the that's the game, baby.
You know, you got no pain, no gain. But so
because that during the dance, I watch her feet so
(44:04):
closely as almost all I watch, and I think she
nailed it. It was really an incredible improvement from the
first dance I thought, which I was not a fan of,
you know, and they got they got perfect tens. She
got a perfect score tens across the board for this one.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Again, back to your point, though it's a live show,
the packages are already planned, the scores. I don't know,
she's never gotten a ten before and now she gets tens.
But they saved it first second dance exactly definitely deserved
it over her first dance.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
It's very interesting. They're making a show. They're making a
show for entertainment, you know.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
And I love it because we are talking. It's a
conversation story about different things and theories. I love this.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
I love it. It's so fun. It's uh yeah. And now
our final dance of the night. And we should note
that in all these packages for the second dance, they
keep saying like, this is your final dance before the finals,
this is the final, this is your last shot to
like get into the finals. Yeah, so much extra pressure
for the second dance. My god, Robert I Win and
(45:09):
Whitney Carson dancing Aavini's Waltz to Wow by Prince So yeah,
every contestant for the second dance, and then they just
get definitely serious. It's like, Okay, no screwing around here.
We're not laughing, we're not having fun.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Robert has to be passionate and intense with Whitney in
this dance, and he is not comfortable doing that. So
it's kind of fun seeing him step out of his
comfort zone. This guy where everything seems to come easily
to him. Crazy control on this dance that I thought,
and a great finishing question.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
I didn't completely remember this song.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
This one I did not know either. Okay.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah, so I typidly went into that. I didn't know
the song at all. Let's be fair. Yeah, I'm gonna yeah.
I was like, and that bummed me out. I don't
know it was the closing dance of the Prince Night anyway.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
It's it's the first track on his thirty sixth album,
Plectrum Electrum. Yeah, from a twenty fourteen wow okay, a
newer Prince song. Yeah so, but despite not having a
relationship with the song, I thought it was a good dance.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Was that one of his last songs?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
It may have it may have binks he died in
what twenty fifteen I believe, Oh my goodness, Yeah yeah,
one of his one of his final tracks, rest in
peace of the legendary Prince. This was like an awesome
finishing move here. It was like top gun mode. But
(46:45):
he got dinged on the framing from from Derek. The
framing wasn't perfect, you know, but and that was that
was enough to knock off one point. Other than that,
he got almost a perfect score. Robert Irwin really going
into this, these finals, these finals so strong and now
we're down to the elimination so intense. I mean, there's
(47:08):
only one week left. This is like I was on
the edge of my seat watching this. It was I.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Forgot, even though I was literally on it last season.
I was like, wait, how is next week the finals?
And there's so many people moving on, but I forgot
in the very first part of the finals. Next week
some will go home.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Oh wow, next it's a three hour finale.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
I mean that's just kidding. Not the very first part
and maybe at the end of the first yeah, throughout
the show on dance again, but then three hours.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Yeah, it's three They're taking over all of ABC primetime.
They teased, so they announced who is safe and something
that I thought was I mean, I don't know why
I thought this was funny, but the way they announced
that Elaine was safe, I think a Fonza said it.
It was like, she's fifty four, she's injured, and she's
(47:59):
going to the finals. And I was like, she's an
incredible dancer. I know she has a lot of challenges,
but like, can we just say, like, you're going to
the finals, we have to go down this laundry list
of like maladies she's facing being not that being fifty
four is a is a challenge or something, but like
she's the oldest person there at this point.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
It's funny you say that because like when she says
I'm fifty four, I'm like, earlier in the season, I'm
like cool. But when he says it, I'm like no, no, no, no, no, no,
you don't get to say it about her, yes, like
I would.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
It just like reminded me, like I picture her like
walking a runway, like you know, and it's like she's
fifty four, she's injured, and she's going to the finals.
It just felt like a weird thing to say. Regardless,
I am happy for Alane.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
She is Moniker. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, It's like, can't she just to be a good dancer.
Elaine Hendricks going to the finals and we get down
to the bottom two Whitney Lovet with Mark Ballace and
Jordan Chiles and Ezrasosa.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
I was first. I mean, you guys all know what happened.
But it was between the three, so it's Jordan, it's
Whitney and.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
Dylan, which is who I kind of thought was going
to be down. Yeah, I thought that was going to
be the bottom three. Like at the end, I'm like,
oh yeah, I was like, I bet they're going to
put me in there for dramatic effect. But it's going
to be really between Dylan and Jordan, and Jordan's going
to go. That was pridition.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
That's what I thought too.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Yeah. Uh. And then and then they announced that Dylan
is safe and I was kind of blown away by that,
and I was like, oh my god, is this really
the night Whitney goes home?
Speaker 1 (49:41):
Same and that's when we really knew ye and I
deal was sealed.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
And and and Whitney gets eliminated. Whitney love it and
Mark Ballace go home. They were very gracious, They're very uh,
you know, thankful for the experience. I really liked what
Mark had to say, like thanked all the crew and
the and the agree the band and everything. I just thought,
you know, not didn't seem upset or bit or anything,
just kind of like this is Hey, this is the game.
(50:07):
We made it very very far.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
I feel like, though, when there's an award show and
some will come up and like be like, oh my god,
I really didn't expect to win, and you can tell
they really didn't, so they didn't prepare a speech.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
I felt like Whitney and Mark both had thought like,
if we go to night. Here's what we will say.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yeah, I think so. They seemed very prepared for that,
and it was and they came off great, and I
really appreciated them.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
Yeah, I loved what they said. Ezra dropped his Neyes
is his first final.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Yeah, I'm so happy for I mean it happy. I
don't think he's going to win, but I'm so excited
he gets this experience of going to the finals. This
is so fun, so exciting, and what a finals it's
gonna be. I can't wait. It's going to be three
hours long. My god, uh, kicking over all prime time,
so much dancing and anything could happen. I I just
