00:00Otsi noticed a little hesitation.

00:02Did you feel that at all?

00:04No.

00:06No, I don't really know what...

00:08I mean, there's always hesitation,

00:10because I can't remember what I'm doing.

00:12Yeah, yeah.

00:13When you're not a dancer,

00:15you're constantly thinking about what the next step is anyway.

00:17So I think every week there's probably hesitation.

00:18There's hesitation all round.

00:19Yeah, there's just hesitation, thinking,

00:21what is it, right, left, what do I do now?

00:23So, yeah, she's 100% probably right on that.

00:26I don't know what it looked like.

00:27The feedback, though, from the judges was largely positive,

00:29but both of you clearly were disappointed with your scores.

00:32What were you hoping for?

00:36Bottom lips.

00:37Were we disappointed?

00:39It might have been the six.

00:41It might have been.

00:42I don't remember how I was actually disappointed.

00:45I was really happy.

00:46I was, yeah, listen, I mean, it's obvious,

00:49and I've said it a million times,

00:51I think people are probably sick of me saying it.

00:53I'm obviously the kind of technically the weakest dancer here,

00:56and that's completely and utterly fair.

00:59So it would be nice to get over 30 occasionally

01:02and not be at the bottom,

01:03but I think it's fairly understandable why I am.
