00:00You guys did amazing tonight. How did it feel stepping on the ballroom dance floor right now?
00:04Honestly, more fun than I thought it was, and I think afterwards I was like,
00:07all right, let's run it back. Let's get it one more time.
00:09Great warm up. We are ready now.
00:11Can we just one more time? Thank you.
00:13And you have a lot of people from the Olympics rooting for you,
00:16really around the world on TikTok and everyone.
00:19Does that add more pressure to you when you hit the dance floor?
00:22No, because I love it, and they're the reason I'm here.
00:26So I know they would literally love if I just stood there and did like this or something.
00:30They'd vote for me, you know, so I think I just, having them is a blessing,
00:34and I think it's really just going out there and doing it for them.
00:37And you received such praise from Carrie Ann,
00:40who some people would say is probably one of the toughest judges to, like, please.
00:44How did that feel for you?
00:45I honestly can't remember a lot of it.
00:48We blacked out as we were standing there.
00:49We blacked out because I was like, that was a good job.
00:52But I do remember good praise,
00:55and I think what maybe can set me apart is how I perform and, like, show my personality.
01:00So I hope I can show that better and then also dance better.
01:03This show is about growing and becoming a great dancer.
01:06I don't want to start too good.
01:07If we started up there, where would we go?
01:09About boring.
01:10Boring.
01:11Only get better from here.
01:12We're working our way out.
01:13Yes.
01:13Nice and sunny.
01:14Yes, we have a plan.
01:16And speaking of getting better, so this is week one in the books.
01:19What are we going to improve on for week two?
01:21Everything.
01:22Everything.
01:25Hips, toes, hands.
01:26All the...
01:27No, honestly, I think now that you know what it feels like to be on that stage,
01:30it's a completely different feeling, you know?
01:33Yeah, I think we're just going to actually dance again because I know the steps.
01:36I just get, like, a little, like, caught up in it,
01:39but I know the steps we've done it so many times.
01:40So I think just, like, trusting it and then dancing it, actually.
01:44Because I do think I can dance.
01:45I just feel caught up sometimes.
01:46And I would say you're, like, the queen of TikTok right now.
01:50Have you been teaching some of the older contestants, like, what to do on TikTok?
01:54She's been teaching me.
01:55I'm not teaching it, but, like, whenever I can, I love to get more people on my TikToks.
01:59And I made a really good one with Danny Amendola.
02:01I have more ideas for other people.
02:02And I think we all can use it as a time to build our brands and get our names out there.
02:06Again, it's a great show, even to boost the show.
02:08So I think it's just fun.
02:10And Alex is a good partner.
02:11He encourages me to do it.
02:12So we're creating magic.
02:14Maybe not on the dance floor yet.
02:16Not yet.
02:16But on the phone.
02:18Check out the TikTok if you want to see magic.
02:19Check out the TikTok if you want to see the real magic.
02:22Amazing.
