Maybe I wouldn't, you know, go as strong.

as I did but because we had this pressure my mentality and we had so much time that it kind of just that's kind of just what it was so we just we pulled out all the stops on that week one and I think Derek saying that it was the best he's ever seen

was great but it also hindered us just a little bit because after that people had an expectation every single week so of course we had that pressure and um but i think that's what makes the show so beautiful and our journey so beautiful is it kind of did this yeah

People love to root for that.

People love to root for you when you do go down.

And they need, you know, a hero story.

They need an arc.

So, like, if we stayed there the whole time, I don't know if the –

you know, our journey would be the same and the same outcome, you know?

So I think that it all played out to how it was supposed to, but lots of pressure, definitely.

But I love what Robert always says is pressure is a privilege.

So that's our mentality.

We were like, this is a privilege to match that, try and match that.

And obviously each, I mean, you know, cause you've done it.

Each style is different.

You have weaknesses and,

and strengths within each style.

And Robert's strength was jive.

He is the jive king.

So anything after that was a big challenge.
