00:00We have two performances under our belt. How are we feeling tonight?
00:04Lucky.
00:05Oh, I'm feeling good. He progressed after the first week, and that's something I can be very proud of.
00:12She's grown up. I'm a child. I feel great that I survived.
00:16I do, too.
00:18And this week was Oscars night. I mean, you're an actor.
00:23Do you feel like you have a leg up in the competition because you're like,
00:26I've been in movies before. I can do this.
00:30I am an actor. I am not a dancer. I had no leg up.
00:36And what was going through your mind? I mean, we had the double elimination tonight.
00:39What were you thinking while you were waiting for your name to be called?
00:42Answer for us. You know the answer.
00:44We had fully prepared to be eliminated.
00:46Fully prepared. I accepted it. I was out.
00:49Yes. Being at the bottom of the leaderboard, first elimination, and double elimination.
00:53We had no idea what the votes were going to be like.
00:55And really, the Dancing with the Stars fans, they pulled us through, and we're really grateful for that.
01:00You have no idea how grateful I am.
01:02We were prepared and then very, very, very pleasantly surprised and grateful for it.
01:07And we saw your wife out there cheering for you. How does it feel to see the support out there from her?
01:14Well, this is her favorite show. That's why I'm doing it. So it's great.
01:19And we have the granddaughters here tonight.
01:20Oh, how special. Oh, my gosh. Does that add any more pressure to you?
01:25Like, you're like, I have my family out here. I need to perform, like, the best that I possibly can.
01:30No, it adds fun because I remember watching, you know, my parents should do things when I was a kid
01:34and being very proud of me going, hmm, that's good.
01:38Thinking, wow, that's cool.
01:39So I hope that's what happened with her tonight.
01:42And, I mean, you did receive a four from Derek, and I will say, there was audible gasps.
01:50I was shocked myself. Like, what was going through your mind when you saw that?
01:53What was going through my mind is, Derek is mean.
01:57Aww.
01:59I'll say it again. Derek is mean.
02:01But, I mean, you did get praise from some of the other judges.
02:03Carrie Ann was, like, saying that you improved from last week. How did that feel like?
02:08Well, that's great, but I had to improve. I was horrible last week.
02:12I wouldn't say that. You, you, you have killed it.
02:16You're all being nice to me, but I would honestly say that.
02:19As his partner and pro in this process, I would not, coach in this process, I would not say that at all.
02:28Yes, there was a lot of room for improvement, but he went out there, and we had fun,
02:32and he made it through the entire dance, and that's what's important.
