I remember after week one, a dance that I think goes down in the show's Hall of Fame for week ones.

I saw you at rehearsal and I told you guys how much I just how magical I thought it was.

And you mentioned how hard it was going to be to continue that trajectory.

Were you nervous coming off a dance that Derek said might be the best week one performance ever?

Yes, I was very nervous.

I mean, I think we were the thing about that week one.

And I think about the thing about Robert Irwin coming in after Bendy.

Bendy was so beloved and she obviously won.

And now her brother coming in and the Irwin family is just a treasure.

Yes, they are.

There are royal family.

They are.

They're not even American, but there are somehow there are royal family.

Yep.

And they deserve all of it.

But it was a lot of pressure for us because that first week.

So we were like, my mentality was like, just do the absolute best that you can do.

Like, I'm not holding anything back.

I'm just going to push, push, push.

And, you know, normally I feel like I would maybe hold some things back week one.
