00:17I do too.
00:19And this week was Oscars night. I mean, you're an actor, like, do you feel like you have a leg up in the competition
00:26because you're like, I've been in movies before, I can do this?
00:31I am an actor. I am not an answerer. I had no leg up.
00:36And what was going through your mind? I mean, we had the double elimination tonight.

00:43You know the answer.
00:45We had fully prepared to be eliminated.
00:47Fully 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.

01:38Thinking, wow, that's cool. So I hope that's what happened with her tonight.
01:43And, 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?
01:54What was going through my mind is, Derek is mean.
01:58Aww.
01:59I'll say it again. Derek is mean.
02:01But, I mean, you did get praise from some of the other judges.
02:04Carrie Ann was, like, saying that you improved from last week. How did that feel like?
02:09Well, that's great, but I had to improve. I was horrible last week.

02:17No.
02:18I would honestly say that.

02:23Coach.
02:24Coach in this process, I would not say that at all.
