00:00 - Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

00:01 - Congratulations, you guys are here for another week.

00:03 Incredible performances.

00:05 I'm gonna go duo by duo, but what did you love most

00:07 about your performance tonight?

00:08 - Oh, just listening to the music.

00:10 Just hearing that music, it's the best.

00:12 Motown is everything.

00:14 That was my favorite thing.

00:15 - And you were crying, like there was an emotional aspect

00:18 of it because of your dad.

00:19 So what do you think he would have thought

00:20 about your performance tonight?

00:22 - I mean, I know he would be so proud,

00:23 and I'm so glad that I did well for him,

00:26 and that is just the biggest relief,

00:29 knowing that I was able to put out my best performance

00:33 for my dad.

00:33 - What do you think about how she did?

00:36 - She's a champ, she's fighting through an injury,

00:39 and she did amazing.

00:41 She was honestly flying.

00:42 It was the best, yeah, that live performance

00:44 was the best round we've had the whole week.

00:47 She was just, there was a new person, an alter ego,

00:50 came out, and we're looking for a name for that alter ego.

00:53 - Yeah, we're still thinking about it.

00:55 - And I mean, look, these are your competitors right here.

00:58 Emoji man, that's what he said.

01:01 Yes, what do you think about the performance

01:02 that you guys did tonight?

01:04 - Oh, the dance floor was lava,

01:06 and I was trying not to touch it.

01:07 So just enlivened by the jive,

01:10 we thrived and we survived.

01:12 - And seeing him just thrive as a dancer,

01:15 what does that mean to you?

01:16 Because that's a testament to what you're doing

01:18 behind the scenes.

01:19 - It's the best because he makes the choreography

01:21 come to life, so just watching him

01:22 put his own twist on it is amazing.

01:24 - I noticed that all of you guys,

01:26 I love all the BTS, by the way,

01:27 that you guys post on social media.

01:29 Even the little hit action that you had going on,

01:31 I like that.

01:32 So have you guys all just become really close,

01:35 or who are the closest that you guys hang out with?

01:37 - This right here.

01:38 - Oh, that's why all four of y'all are here.

01:40 (laughing)

01:42 And what is it about just creating these bonds

01:44 with each other together while you're doing

01:45 this whole process and this journey?

01:47 - It's really amazing.

01:49 When I'm nervous and I'm out there,

01:50 Danny's voice is the one I hear screaming the loudest.

01:53 - Screaming the loudest.

01:54 - And it's awesome.

01:57 - And then also, I don't know if you heard the news,

01:59 but former contestant Brooke Burke,

02:01 she revealed that she was falling in love with Derek

02:04 and all that jazz.

02:05 What do you think it is about the journey?

02:07 Yeah, she knows what I'm talking about.

02:09 What do you think it is about the journey

02:11 of being on this show that leads to these strong,

02:13 intense chemistry and connections?

02:15 What do you think it is?

02:16 - I think you're stuck in a bubble for three months,

02:19 and you definitely develop a chemistry

02:22 because it doesn't have to be,

02:24 I don't know what, I didn't read it,

02:25 but it doesn't have to be sexual chemistry.

02:27 It could be a friend.

02:28 We meet some of our best friends.

02:30 Some of our partners are literally our family now,

02:33 and it doesn't have to be that way,

02:35 but most of the time, it's just really strong friendships.

02:38 - Absolutely, you'd like to say maybe

02:40 you've been friends for a while too?

02:41 - Yeah, absolutely.

02:43 I mean, like Danny said, we're all together,

02:45 what, four hours a day, and then on top of that,

02:50 with all the decisions, messaging, and phone calls,

02:53 so it literally feels like we're together 24/7.

02:56 So you definitely build a bond,

02:58 and it just becomes a friendship.

02:59 - It's family, it's literally family.

03:01 - Yeah, there's not too many people outside the show

03:03 that can relate to what's going on with your schedule

03:06 and how your body feels.
