Fights stubborn odors in just one wash when impossible odors get stuck in so the show tonight Halloween night As I mentioned, Pasha and I danced a Viennese waltz to Die With a Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. One of my favorite songs. I just love it so much and I don't normally consider myself to be like a huge Gaga fan. Like I love I who doesn't love Lady Gaga. Like she's incredible, but I'm not. I. I don't know, like every song of hers. I don't have every album, but this song is just one of my favorites. And because it was a Halloween theme, we wrote a story, me, Pasha, and husband of the podcast Jensen. And it is a ghost story about a ghost bride returning to visit her husband. And though it may look like a love story, at first, it was anything but that. Halfway through, you realize Pasha has blood on his hands. It's revealed that I am dead. I have blood in the middle of my dress and I'm actually a ghost and he murdered me and I'm there for revenge. And it was a really fun week of being able to be collaborative and talk about ideas. Pasha always choreographs with a backstory. He always comes to a dance with an idea in his mind of what the story is. So the fact that this, this backstory was so detailed really helped him just choreograph something beautiful. He loves a Viennese waltz and so do I. I mean, now, after having done Them like argentine tango, I think is still my number one favorite dance. And then followed very closely with a viennese waltz. I just. I loved it so much. I love being in. But being able to be very powerful and glide across the floor. I know it's not something the judges had really mentioned to me, but I have seen so much feedback from those of you online about wanting to see me breathe more and be more expressive in my face. And I generally have a very expressive face, but it hasn't necessarily been expressive in my dances. And so it was something I really brought to this week that. That was, like, my number one goal. My number one goal for this week was to just emote and express with my face and to really breathe. And I 100% feel like I did that. I accomplished my goal for the week. And like I said, I know it wasn't something the judges have said to me that they felt like. Although they have said that they didn't feel like I was breathing, but nobody. None of the judges have mentioned not seeing me emote on my face. But. So then today, when you know, the new feedback is. Is kind of now about, like, my arms or moving from my body. I am looking forward to implementing that next week. Next week. I don't know if I'm allowed to say what dance we're doing yet, so I'm not going to. But we've got a really good dance next week for me to be able to put their feedback into play, which is always my goal. My goal has been from the beginning to take one or two or maybe even three things that I can improve on. And there are endless numbers of things I can improve on. Because I'm not a dancer. I don't have any dance experience. If I were to take all of the things I have to improve on and try to work on them every single week, I would be very overwhelmed and probably wouldn't look very good out on the dance floor. So my goal has been this whole time to just improve on a couple of little things and take their feedback and try to make those some of the things I improve on. So next week, I'm gonna try to take up more space, Even though I don't have that much space to take up because I'm only 5:1. But I'm going to try, and I know pasha will help me, and I'm just gonna continue to do what I have been doing, which is listen to him. And you guys. Thank you for continuing to do what you guys have been doing, which is supporting us and Voting for us. As you can tell, without you, there is no show. There's no show, there's no contestants to stick around without your votes. And you know, that's evident by the fact that I'm still in the competition, that Andy's still in the competition, that we're all still in the competition. Without your votes, we could all be gone. So if you want to continue to see us every week, keep voting for the people you want to see because that, that's your power. That's how you're a part of this show. I was really excited for tonight's dance. I love Halloween. I love Halloween night on Dancing with the Stars. I think it's always so interesting. I think some of the the pros do some of their best choreography on Halloween. I thought it was really great. This night had the Monster thon, which added a whole new element to our rehearsal because now on top of our four hour rehearsal where we had to learn our whatever our current dance was. So in my case, the Viennese Waltz, we would have to then add extra time to learn two other dances because you don't know how long you're going to be doing those dances. It's like a four minute window of two dances. One is the Hustle and the other one is the Lindy Hop. And if you make it through the first round of dancing the Hustle, then you have to know the Lindy Hop. So you have to prepare as if you're going to be there until the very end. And those dances are done at the end of the night and those rehearsals are done at the end of your rehearsal day. And you're just exhausted. You're totally, you're physically exhausted. And then, okay, time to put on a big happy face and lots of energy and jumping around and your feet hurt and you're sweaty and you're tired and you're probably hungry and you're thirsty. It's a lot. This is definitely a physically demanding and physically grueling show. I happen to love it because I don't know, I had no idea how much I enjoyed being this physical. I just love it. I feel like I was in another life. I would have been an athlete if I had any of that talent. Does that make sense? Like I'd be an athlete if only I had talent? I know that sounds crazy, but that is how I feel. Like if I could have changed, like shifted courses and not been an actor now, I would have been an athlete of some kind for sure. It's just so much fun overall. Tonight I was really happy with our dance. I know Pasha was really happy with our dance. There's one moment that bums me out that I missed the timing on, and I think it had something to do with my dress reveal. My. During dress rehearsal, I couldn't get my dress reveal undone. And then during the live show, I did it. I got it undone. And then when Pasha jumps up from his knees and I grab him by the neck right before we waltz across across the floor, the timing of me grabbing him by the neck was so precise. And during all of our rehearsals, it had been so good. And then the timing of me grabbing his neck just didn't happen on the right time. And I think I was just late to it, which kind of stinks. No one would ever know without me telling them that. I mean, unless they were just like, oh, yeah, and you go back and watch it, and then you'll be like, yeah, that would have been better if it had been on the beat when it was supposed to be. But so that bummed me out. That's like, the one thing I look back at the dance scope, and I go, yeah, I messed that up. And I don't know, like, I hadn't messed that up basically all week. But then something always falls out. You never know what it's gonna be. And in this case, that was the one moment that I was like, ooh, watching it back. I wish I could have done that better. But like I said, going into this week, my number one goal was just feeling more comfortable emoting and using my face, and I feel like I did that. So if I'm gonna just look at my own personal, I feel like I accomplished that. Of course, I wish I would have kept four nines or even had more of a mix of eights and nines instead of three eights and one nine. Thank you, Bruno, for your one nine. As always, I really do appreciate their feedback, though. I appreciated Cheryl starting it off by talking about my body and, you know, Derek and Carrie Ann contributing. I do always appreciate it. If they didn't get give me any sort of feedback, it would just seem like they didn't care. So I appreciate that they care and that they think I'm capable. Cheryl Burke was there tonight as the guest judge. I thought she did a really great job. I thought she delivered exactly what I thought she was going to deliver, which was very honest feedback. She knows her stuff. Having been a ballroom dancer, having been a Dancing with the stars pro for as many years as she was having been a mirrorball champion, she knows her stuff and she doesn't hesitate to tell you when and why. Maybe she's docking you a point for something which I expected from her and I appreciate. I thought she gave really good feedback. I thought she was great. I thought she did a great job as a judge. Seeing her in that fourth chair was really good. I loved Robert and Whitney's dance. I know Robert's fans are thrilled, Thrilled that he got his first tens. He deserved it. It was so great. I loved all that. Seeing all that blood on his face. It's like, no, not our sweet Robert with blood all over his face. That was really great. I thought Andy's dance was really good when I saw it earlier in the day. Actually, I think it wasn't earlier in the day. I saw it the day before. And then I saw Emma in the hair and makeup room, and I congratulated her and I told her what an incredible job I thought she did and that I really felt like for Andy, this felt like kind of a breakthrough week. It really felt like he improved. I thought I was really super impressed. And I told Emma that I was really, just really proud of them. I also really liked Jen and Yon's dance. I thought it was really good. Jan's contemporary is obviously. I mean, his choreography for contemporary is just out of this world. I think you guys probably saw the dance he did with Jenna during one of the bumpers, and it's like, just unbelievable. And I really. When I saw Jen in her rehearsal dance yesterday, I said the same thing to her. I said, this was your week. Last week, you know, Carrie Ann told me I had a breakthrough dance, and I said, this is really your week. And. And I thought that that's how it was going to go. I really did. I was kind of then shocked when I saw and heard the feedback. And I hope that Jan doesn't allow kind of the negativity that has been floating around online this week on the Internet. Like, I hope it. He doesn't let it taint this season and this experience for him because I know that the negativity that can be found online. And listen, I'm going to talk a little bit about negativity, and then I'm going to follow it up with talking about that. There's also a lot of positivity, but I'm going to stick with the negativity for right now. There is quite a bit of negativity online, and it can really be very noisy. And if you aren't good about setting boundaries for yourself about how much of it you take in, it can really affect you. It's affected a lot of the cast and a lot of the pros. And I just, my wish for Jan and I told him this is that he makes a decision about whether or not he loved this experience based solely just on his feelings. Like his feelings of having a partner and his feelings of being on the ballroom floor and his feelings about putting together a dance every week and you know, it's a reality TV show of being a part of that and not let the outside noise of what people on the Internet say kind of ruin the experience for him because it would really make me very sad if, if it. He ended up walking away from it and thinking like, I could never do that again because it's just too negative. So I, I don't. I will look forward to seeing Yon's future. And I think if he comes back for another season and he's paired with somebody I know he is going to bust his butt as he did every week this first season, his first season. And he's only going to get better. That's what happens, you know, you work and you get better week after week and, and, and you get better season after season. There's no pro who comes in as their first season and is like, well, that's it. Even if you win your first season, you're not a perfect pro. You're not a per pro. You don't. You, the stars aligned and you may have won your first season, but it doesn't make you perfect or, you know, an A plus coach or pro just because you win. So we all have room for improvement. I would also like to mention about the negativity that if you are a fan of any person on this cast, I promise you they want you to be kind and, and supportive of the rest of the cast. You can have your favorite. You should have your favorite. Who's your favorite? Who you voting for? How many favorites do you have? How many people are you voting for? You should be doing that. You should be curating who you want to see in the finale and then voting for all those people. We don't know if it's a four person or a five person or a three person finale. We have no idea. But vote for everybody you'd love to see in the final and then vote for those people every single week. Go for it. Do it. But if you are a giant fan of, let's just use me as an example. If you're a giant fan of me, you know for sure I do not want you going after any other contestant, if they score better than me or if they. They win something that I don't win, like, no way. I love everyone on this cast. I would never want anybody attacking anyone. If you're a fan of Robert, if you're a fan of Whitney, if you're a fan of Alex, we all love each other, truly, and we support each other and we get along very well. If you are a fan of anybody on this show, support your fave without putting down anyone else. It's just. It's kind of. We are not doing it amongst ourselves and we don't want to see it on the Internet. We're trying really hard. We're working, we're all working really hard to make good tv, to put on good dances, to change our lives. All of our lives have been changed by being a part of this experience. And the only real painful part is some of the, you know, really nasty stuff that's out there. On the flip side, I have to tell you guys how funny and sweet and thoughtful so many of you are. I have been told by every pro and every celebrity contestant that I know that has been on this show. I have been told, do not read comments at all. Don't read comments. And also, whatever you do, stay far away from Reddit. So I have been doing that quite a bit. Not the comments. I read a lot of comments on Instagram. I go through and I try to like as many of your comments as I can. Especially when we post, like a funny TikTok or something. I like to go in and, like, see what you guys have said again. It's how you guys make me laugh so much. Your comments crack me up. And so I've been liking a lot of comments, been reading comments, but I am not a Reddit person, so I have just stayed away from Reddit. And then the other day, I don't know what little bug crawled in my ear and told me to go to the Dancing with the Stars Reddit. And I, I just went there and I scrolled through the different topics and I don't even remember what the. What the story was or what the topic was that I clicked on, but I opened it up. And when I tell you, I was so touched by so many of your comments and so many of the sweet things you were saying and talking about all of us and, you know, what your favorite dances were and why it was your favorite dance and who you're planning to vote for and why you're planning to vote for them. And I was just blown away by how many of you said me that you were voting for me every week? And it's, it's just when you, when you find kind and nice pockets on the Internet, it's, it was really overwhelming. I literally like, I welled up. I took a screenshot of a, of a part of it and I sent it to Jensen and I said I'm parked outside my wardrobe fitting. I had like five minutes before I was supposed to be there and I just was reading Reddit and crying and not in a mean way. I was reading Reddit and crying because you guys were so unbelievably kind and lovely. So it's not all negativity. There's also so much positivity out there and I appreciate it. Foreign.

Downy Rinse Advertiser (33:00)

Every now and then I rinse it out and I need rins tonight and I need it more. My kid wears a bed and the smell never leave. I don't know what do to to do. I'm always in the dark. The sweat in that sh smells like a dark I'm down here.

Danielle Fishel (33:23)

Downy Rinse fights stubborn odors in just one wash. When impossible odors get stuck in, rinse it out. So our monster thon the floor was divided into a grid of nine people and I don't know how they determine where everybody goes. There's not like a. There's not like a, you know a pulling a number from a hat and then you get to decide where you're gonna stand. It's just kind of like they put you in a certain spot and then you just dance there and it's a little weird because you're like, who am I dancing to? Like, am I dancing to camera? I'm not even sure I was ever even on camera. Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. I have no idea. Are we supposed to be dancing to the judges? Are we supposed to dance to the audience that's kind of right next to us? It was all just a little bit weird and there wasn't a whole ton of explanation. It was just kind of like, okay, here's where you guys are going to be and you're going to dance and you don't get the actual edit to the song. You know what the song is. They told us what the song is, but you don't get the specific 2 minute version you're dancing to until Monday night, which was after. Already after camera blocking. So it's not like you get to actually choreograph a full dance. It's kind of like, here are some hustle steps and here are some lindy steps, and then you're allowed to do lifts in both of them because that's just the rule that they created. And, and then, you know, your pro choreographs something and you kind of have a plan, but you could dance your butt off for four minutes and if the judges look at you in a 3 second portion where they don't think you're fully committing, you can just be axed. So it's a little interesting. I don't necessarily know that. I love it. Like, I don't really know that. I was like, well, that was super fun. Like, next week is team dance. I love this idea. I am very excited about it. I think it's going to be super interesting to see how we all work together. I think it's going to be super interesting to see how we dance on the floor together. I'm excited about that one. This, this marathon dance challenge, I'm not quite sure I love. It's just like, okay, we did that. All right. I hope we don't necessarily have to do it again, but. But we'll see. Jen, you know, spoiler alert, if you haven't already watched the show, Chen and Yan went home and I'm sad to see her go. I'm sad to see everybody go. Anytime someone's been eliminated, it has felt a little like a, like a gut punch. And, you know, she works so hard and she was sick last week and then Yan was sick this week and she's got three babies. She just had a baby. I really do think she's, you know, she's a little bit of A superhuman. I don't know how she was doing the things that she was doing. And I know that she's gonna be missed by everybody, the same way Scott is missed and Baron is missed. And, you know, everybody's. Everybody's energy is. The place just feels different with one less person there. So. So, yeah, it's gonna be weird for me. In the audience tonight was Jensen, of course, and then my boys Adler and Keaton were there. Also, our unbelievable, wonderful nanny, Ms. Delia, and her boyfriend Cesar. They were there. I was so happy to have them in the audience. Delia has been working late every Tuesday night so that Jensen is able to come to the tapings, and she stays home with the kids. And then when the kids came for the premiere, Jensen just brought them and Delia went home. We only get six tickets every week. I think you guys have heard me say that before. We only get six tickets. And so it's hard to, you know, I have a mom and a dad and my dad's wife Christine, and my brother and I have a husband, and I have two kids. And then I obviously have friends, and I have my aunt and uncle, and I have, like, you know, a lot of people who like to come. So I've been trying to rotate it and spread it around. And tonight I was really happy that I was able to invite Delia and Cesar as my guests. They weren't working. They were just there with us as guests. And it was really nice to have her there. And then Tara Sudbaksh, producer of this podcast and of Poet Podmeats World and of, I don't know, like, 19 other podcasts, she was there as my guest tonight, too. So great to have her. And then Kiernan Shipka was in the audience for me as well. I love Kiernan. I have known her for a really long time. We worked together on a Funny or Die sketch years ago, and then we still have mutual friends, and so we've just been in each other's life, which is really cool. And she brought her friend Phoebe. And I got to wear a really beautiful wedding dress tonight that had a tearaway belt that had blood underneath it, the sash, the belt part of it was also supposed to have blood on the other side, but the material was so thin, if I put blood on the inside, it was going to completely show through the outside. So we ended up not doing that, but it was beautiful. And I got to wear a gorgeous watch, a patek Philippe in 18 karat rose gold with a salmon dial. Just beautiful. It was courtesy of Eric Wind from wind Vintage. And I was also wearing this gorgeous graduated necklace from my dear friend Jamie at Forever Fine Jewels. Just gorgeous. I love it so much. It's an eternity necklace. It's graduated, though, so it's like the bigger stones are kind of here in the middle, and it goes all the way around to the back. She also sent me a beautiful pair of earrings to wear, and for whatever reason, one of the earring backs would not stay closed. I think when I took the price tag off, I may have pulled the earring back apart a little bit, and so it wouldn't stay closed. And I was way too nervous it was going to go flying off in my dance, and so I decided not to wear those earrings. So I was just wearing a watch and this beautiful necklace tonight. And now we look forward to the next week. Week eight. Oh, my gosh. Week eight. The whole thing is only 11 weeks, guys. The whole thing is only 11weeks, and next week is week eight. It's crazy. Next week is Rock and roll hall of Fame night, which will not only include a big dance that I am very much looking forward to, but it will also include this season's team dance. And we picked the teams tonight. I don't know when they will make the announcement about those. So I'm gonna. I'm not gonna do it here because that's a Dancing with the Stars thing for them to be able to do. I really finally just want to say and make sure you know, truly how much I appreciate your votes and how much I appreciate you guys supporting me in every way, not just in the podcast, but with your comments and your likes and your shares and, yeah, it just. It really means a lot to me. I. My life has truly been changed by this show. I mean, I. Not to quote Wicked, which we just did last week, but my life has been changed for good because of Dancing with the Stars for so many reasons. Not just because I have a new friend for life in Pasha and Danny and Dylan and Robert and Jen and Whitney and Jordan. I literally could name everybody on this cast Elaine. Like, not. Not just because of that, but because I just feel like a whole new love of dance and expression and storytelling and connection has been opened up inside of me, and I don't ever want it to stop. I don't ever want it to stop. I can't believe I get to do this week after week, and I want to keep doing it until. Until the very, very end. So thank you from the bottom of my heart because we couldn't do it without you. That's it. Thank you for listening to this episode of Danielle With. We will see you next time.
