00:00Well, it was a sort of mixed bag, really, because I was so excited about going to do the cha-cha-cha.

00:06I absolutely was happy because I knew it was in my wheelhouse.

00:11But during the day, earlier in the day, I just sustained an injury that just got more aggravated as the day progressed.

00:19And so by the time it came to dancing, that kind of sort of distracted me and took my focus.

00:25Mm-hmm. So, obviously, it was upsetting that I didn't do the dance that I wanted to do for JoJo or for the audience that night.

00:37But I did get a chance to do it again in the dance-off. You did.

00:40And I felt at least that I actually managed and the steps were all right. I didn't make any mistakes.

00:47You did. And my technique was good. You know what? You look like you had a great time as well performing it on Saturday night.

00:53How much did you enjoy it, Johannes?

00:54Oh, you know what? I absolutely loved it. I do wish that there was no mistakes.

00:59But like Alex said, I feel like we did redeem ourselves.

01:02Yeah, we did. We redeemed ourselves at the end.

01:04Yes.

01:05I feel like if you're going to go out, at least go out feeling that you did the best you could in the state that you were in.
