00:00I heard that dancing was on your bucket list, so how's it been going so far?

00:04It's starting. Yeah, we're doing it. It's been awesome.

00:08She's amazing, so I'm just really leaning on her and trying to listen to whatever I can

00:12and hopefully not make her job too difficult, but it's been super fun.

00:16Jenna, how would you rate Joey's dance skills?

00:19What's my number? It's 1 to 10. Be kind.

00:23You know what? I'm going to leave room for improvement. I'll give it a 6.

00:26That's better than I thought she was going to say. I'll take a 6. I love it.

00:30That was going to do like a 2? I didn't know. I wasn't sure.

00:34Well, have you been bringing home any of the choreography to Kelsey? Have you been practicing at all?

00:39Every single time I went home, she's asked me like, okay, show me what you learned today, so it's good.

00:43I love this extra rehearsal.

00:46Jog the memory a little bit, make sure I know what I'm doing, but she's really excited, which is awesome.

00:51How's her dancing skill? Is she helping you? Is she giving any tips?

00:53She's not the best dancer. She knows that too, and she knows I love her.

00:57I will help both of you.

00:58She's glad it's me and not her. She's like, I have more potential than she does in her brain, but she's going to do great.

01:04I'm sure she'll love to kind of learn alongside with me too.

01:07Jenna, you have to teach them the first dance then.

01:09Yes. You know, Val was even saying, he was like, I should work with Kelsey, give her some one-on-ones,

01:14and then we'll get them ready for their first dance, get them all prepared and everything.

01:17We'll take all the help that you can get.

01:18100%. Well, you know, this is also the first season where there's a Bachelor and Bachelorette competing,

01:24so do you think that Jen is going to be your main competition this season, or will it be Val,

01:30because Val's your competition every season, right, Jenna?

01:32Yes, every season.

01:35Bachelorets have always done really well on the show.

01:37We haven't had a male, I guess a Bachelor, make it to the finale, so I would really love to see Joey do that.

01:44That's our goal. That's what we're focusing on, but yeah, we both said we're going to focus on what we can control

01:48and just do what we can do every week, and that's the thought process.

01:52Is there a song or an artist that you're looking forward to hopefully dancing to this season?

01:57Ooh, I will literally dance to anything. My music genre is kind of all over the place.

02:02I'll throw out there, like a Taylor Swift song would be pretty fun.

02:04It would be nice to do a Taylor Swift song.

02:06Yeah, everybody loves Taylor Swift songs.

02:07I know, right?

02:08I think they did a Taylor night, was it last year?

02:09They did, they did, yeah.

02:11That could be good.

02:12Well, speaking of theme nights, I know that there's so many fun theme nights for you guys every season.

02:16If you both could come up with your own theme night, what would it be?

02:20Ooh.

02:22I want to hear yours.

02:24I got one of you. You want to think a little longer.

02:26Yeah, you go, you go.

02:27I would love to see a tennis theme night. I know it's cliche for me, but that would be awesome to do something,

02:31because we'd have a leg up if we did that one.

02:34Tennis theme would be good.

02:35Yeah, just throw tennis balls in the mix.

02:37Toss me a racket, something. I could do that theme all day.

02:40I feel like something like Mad Max-inspired theme would be so sick.

02:45I think the costuming, the makeup, and the music, you could get really creative with that, so I'll say that.

02:51I love that. I love that.

02:52I also know the athletes tend to do really well this season, so fingers crossed.

02:56I mean, we have Olympians. We have guys that have won Super Bowls.

03:01I don't know if I'm in the athlete credentials, but I can hit a tennis ball.

03:07You've had an entire tennis-themed season, so we've got to count you as an athlete.

03:12I'm a little light on my feet, right? I'm doing all right.

03:14I'll try to help out. I'll take the athlete's title if I have to.
