00:00How does it feel to be a part of this season and what made you want to be a part of it?
00:04Nineteen years ago they offered it to me. I was the first person they offered the show to and I couldn't do it.
00:10So here we are in a repeat.
00:12Britt, how would you describe the process of working with Eric so far?
00:17Be kind.
00:18I will be nice, I promise. I mean, we've really only had two days of rehearsal.
00:22So our journey is just beginning, but already I can see that he really wants to be here.
00:29He's dedicated and committed to the process of Dancing with the Stars and that's all I can ask for in a partner.
00:34How would you describe your dancing skills on a scale of one to ten?
00:38Non-existent.
00:40Non-existent. And I love it.
00:42One.
00:44I would give you a little bit more.
00:46One point one.
00:48We'll give you a little bit more. We'll have to see the season premiere to see how it actually pans out.
00:53But I wanted to ask if there was any advice that you gave to Eric about being a part of this entire experience?
00:59No. I can answer that question.
01:01Her advice is get up. Get up. That's her advice.
01:06Is there any song or artist that you'd want to hopefully dance to this season?
01:13There's an artist named Keaton Simons. He's my favorite singing, songwriting guitar player.
01:18He's got a song called Unstoppable and a song called The Medicine. My two favorite songs.
