I heard that dancing was on your bucket list, so how's it been going so far?
00:04
It's starting, yeah, we're doing it.
00:06
It's been awesome, she's amazing, so I'm just really leaning on her and
00:11
trying to listen to whatever I can and hopefully not make her job too difficult, but
00:14
it's been super fun.
00:15
Jenna, how would you rate Joey's dance skills?
00:19
What's my number?
00:20
It's one to ten.
00:21
Okay.
00:22
Be kind.
00:23
You know what, I'm going to leave room for improvement.
00:25
I'll give it a six.
00:27
That's better than I thought she was going to say.
00:29
I'll take a six.
00:30
I love it.
00:31
Is that going to be like a two?
00:32
I didn't know.
00:33
I wasn't sure.
00:34
Oh my gosh.
00:35
Well, have you been bringing home any of the choreography to Kelsey?
00:37
Have you been practicing at all?
00:39
Every single time I went home, she's asked me, like, okay, show me what you learned today,
00:43
so it's good.
00:44
I love this extra rehearsal.
00:45
It helps me jog the memory a little bit, make sure I know what I'm doing, but she's really
00:49
excited, which is awesome.
00:51
How's her dancing skill?
00:52
Is she helping you out?
00:53
Is she giving any tips?
00:54
She's not the best dancer.
00:55
She knows that, too.
00:56
You know what, I love her.
00:57
I will help those of you.
00:59
She's like, she's glad it's me and not her.
01:00
She's like, I have more potential than she does in her brain, but she's going to do great.
01:04
I'm sure she'll love to kind of learn alongside with me, too.
01:07
Jenna, you have to teach them the first dance, then.
01:09
Yes.
01:10
You know, Val was even saying, he was like, I should work with Kelsey, give her some one-on-ones,
01:14
and then we'll get them ready for their first dance, get them all prepared and everything.
01:17
We'll take all the help we can get.
01:19
100%.
01:20
Well, I know this is also the first season where there's a bachelor and bachelorette
01:23
competing, so do you think that Jen is going to be your main competition this season?
01:29
Or will it be Val, because Val is your competition every season, right, Jenna?
01:32
Yes, every season.
01:33
I, bachelorettes have always done really well on the show.
01:38
We haven't had a male, I guess, a bachelor, make it to the finale, so I would really love
01:43
to see Joey do that.
01:44
That's our goal.
01:45
That's what we're focusing on.
01:46
But yeah, we both said we're going to focus on what we can control and just do what we
01:49
can do every week, and that's the thought process.
01:52
Is there a song or an artist that you're looking forward to hopefully dancing to this season?
01:57
Ooh.
01:58
I will literally dance to anything.
02:00
My music genre is kind of all over the place.
02:02
I'll throw out there, like, a Taylor Swift song would be pretty fun.
02:04
It would be nice to do a Taylor Swift song.
02:06
Yeah, everybody loves Taylor Swift songs.
02:07
I know, right?
02:08
I think they did a Taylor night, was it last year?
02:09
They did, they did, yeah.
02:10
So that could be good.
02:11
Well, speaking of theme nights, I know that there's so many fun theme nights for you guys
02:15
every season.
02:16
If you both could come up with your own theme night, what would it be?
02:20
Ooh.
02:21
I want to hear yours.
02:25
I got one of you.
02:26
You want to think a little longer.
02:27
Yeah, you go, you go.
02:28
I want to see a tennis theme night.
02:29
I know it's cliche for me, but that would be awesome to do something, because we'd have
02:32
a leg up if we did that one.
02:34
Tennis theme would be good.
02:35
Yeah.
02:36
Just throw tennis balls in the mix.
02:37
Toss me a racket.
02:38
Something.
02:39
I could do that theme all day.
02:40
I feel like something like Mad Max-inspired theme would be so sick.
02:45
I think the costuming, the makeup, and the music, you could get really creative with
02:49
that.
02:50
So, I'll say that.
02:51
I love that.
02:52
I love that.
02:53
I also know the athletes tend to do really well this season.
02:54
So, fingers crossed.
02:57
We have Olympians.
02:58
We have guys that have won Super Bowls.
03:01
I don't know if I'm in the athlete credentials, but I can hit a tennis ball.
03:07
You've had an entire tennis-themed season, so we've got to count you as an athlete.
03:12
I'm a little light on my feet, right?
03:13
I'm doing all right.
03:15
I'll try to help out.
03:16
I'll take the athlete's title if I have to.
