how has it been so far how rehearsals been going how how are you feeling about this it's a first of all it's a blessing that I got her you know because I was wondering who's going to be my partner who's going to be my partner cuz I can't dance and she made me dance she told me I could do it and I did it thanks to her I feel like all of you guys are so humble this season you're like I can't dance I can't dance but how would you describe him as a partner right now I oh he is so caring he's just lovely he makes me feel um very much taken care of he's a gentleman yes you're always asking about me he's just very genuine you he couldn't fake a single thing and I love his authenticity and I think that that kind of Charisma and heart is going to come out in the dancing because I mean how can it not he just kind of shines you see why I chose her she's the best I'm like this is this is a pair to watch out for this season is there a song or an artist that you're looking forward to hopefully dancing to this season well about James Brown yeah James Brown he's cool Living in America Living in [Laughter] America is there anyone that you see as maybe like a main competitor like we got to watch out for those guys uh there's one like every season like if there you I mean I think Chandler um I mean got to be an incredible dancer I would say watch out also for Steven pommer horse guy you know how how can he not like he's is going to be good Dwight Howard because you know I heard he can move he's tall which can be you know extremely challenging but I heard he can dance and then fedra because she's fedra yeah yeah that's like I feel like there's a lot of like good competitors this season but is there any advice that you shared about being a part of this journey in general um I feel like there was no at the moment no advice that I've given him that I could like say really stood out other than it really does take a lot of trust between partner and celebrity um because you spend a lot of time together and you know at the end of the day I'm asking him to step out of his comfort zone and dance when he's not danced before and wear Sparkles and things like that so there has to have a lot of trust and um I think that we have that already dance trust and dance is very important cuz if you don't trust her you can't do anything you know but look silly she makes you trust her just by one word she can make me trust her you know and I just do it finally I want to ask I know there's a lot of fun theme nights that you guys have every season if you could come up with a theme night what would it be for both of you actually I don't know well I've had this idea for a while but I think it might be a bit too vague just love theme because it really could encumber like love for for as a parent for a child love for you know a particular childhood show or a place or um that person and so I thought Love Theme would be good maybe it's a bit vague I don't know we have to pitch it to the producers they're going to watch this and it's going to be on this season okay
