How have rehearsals been going so far and how long have you been rehearsing is it kind of like only just been a few?
00:06
You know, we've only had two it's felt like a lifetime. They are brutal
00:11
The longest days of my life with this one. I just look at him and I'm like how many more months?
00:19
She almost drew out the contract early. No, they've been incredible. They've been incredible. She loves to work. So we've been working hard
00:25
We've had like two full rehearsals about eight hours worth
00:29
Working hard, we're working on the all about the details all about well
00:33
That's something that we like clicked over very detail oriented people. So it's just been a lot of meticulous work
00:38
Which I think is going to pay off. Hopefully
00:41
How would you describe your dancing skills? Where are the strengths where the weaknesses?
00:45
What do we got to work on strengths are I can pick up choreography pretty well
00:50
So I'm hoping that will serve me but weaknesses are the fact that I've never done anything like this. No ballroom
00:57
No partner dancing. In fact, I actually have a history of like hating partner dancing because I just don't trust others
01:04
So this is going so how's this been going so far?
01:07
Brandon
01:08
Well so far I've tricked her so far. She's been pretty trusting look
01:13
I think I for me it's this is the most unique experience. You could be a
01:18
Professional ballerina this has it's completely different. And so like she said, I've just been taking it so slow
01:25
We've been working over every detail making sure all the stones are laid right so that the rest of season we can build a great
01:30
success
01:32
Is there any advice that you gave her about being a part of this journey in general?
01:36
I mean look it's a marathon not a sprint
01:39
It's a lot of weeks and a lot of work
01:41
And so I think just taking it week by week making each one unique, you know taking on the role each week
01:46
It makes it fresh keeps you enjoyable
01:49
Is
01:50
There a song or an artist in particular that you're looking to hopefully dance to this season. Yeah, we have a list
01:59
Let's start naming a long list. Actually, we've been scheming. Oh, we actually like plotting like maniacal laughter
02:08
But we are you trying to?
02:10
The finale I'd be really excited because I'm gonna produce and write and sing my own song that we're gonna dance to
02:18
Well, I'll keep it a secret but you guys would be in for a treat
02:21
We're gonna start putting that in the producers ears by watching these don't if you heard my voice in your ear you we would get
02:27
Eliminated that night
02:30
If you want to self-eliminate that's when we that's we bring that yeah, I sing solo solo you can't hear me
02:35
That's the only way I sing
02:37
Well, is there a theme night?
02:38
I love all the theme nights that you guys have every season if you could come up with your own theme night
02:43
What would it be?
02:45
That's a good one
02:48
I think that'd be a great theme. I think everybody would love it. We would love it
02:53
Yeah, yeah, everyone shows up and they actually don't dance
02:56
They just stand on stage for a minute and a half and talk about how amazing
03:00
That's that would be that'd be a great theme night and the only thing that I've ever had to enjoy that
03:05
So I would love that
