I still think those 7s were way too harsh, considering what was going on that night.
How have you felt about the scoring so far for the athletes?
In seasons past, they gave out 5s and 6s.

However, I will say the scoring come week twos episode was a little bit all over the place.
He felt like he let the team down, getting those 7s.
I really love him for that attitude and approach to it.
Hes not in the blame game.
Hes not a complainer.
He turns up and hes ready to work.
Has your opinion changed about who seems to be the ringer this season?
He is very talented.
He has a very lovable personality.
He has all the things out there that you want to see out on the floor.
Other than that, everyone else is on an even playing field.
I feel amazing about Josh.
Im telling you, this guy can win it all.
He has the charm, the talent, he has a great following behind him because of football.
Its not always the best dancer who wins.
Its not always the ringer who wins.
Its the one who is thewhole package.
I think Josh has that.
How does it work with the costume department?
I will design my costume and then it will get approved by our executive producers.
For the most, I dont really love doing the whole mini, two-piece situation anymore.
Every now and then it calls for it, like a cheerleader costume.
I get to create whatever I want and they seem to make it happen.
Im inspired by things straight from the runway and turning that into dance costumes.
Couture into dance costumes!
So how are you doing?
Do you work out away from Josh or do you get enough exercise with him?Yes.
I need to go to the gym!
When I was 22 it was different.
I could just dance and eat a lot of pizza if I wanted to.
At 32, it changes.
Womens bodies change, our metabolism changes.
We need different things.
I know my body needs additional exercise throughout the day.
Do you wish you could dance in flat shoes every Monday night?Yes, girl!
But unfortunately, it doesnt look as good and doesnt finish your line.
And its not the way we do things.
Latin ballroom dancing is done in heels.
Do your feet hurt right now?All the time.
Im used to it.
I let my feet soak sometimes or Ill roll a ball under them.
I also get regular and proper,dig-your-elbow-in, dear-God-hold-onto-tablemassages.
Theres nothing fun about them, but they are necessary.
