If Conner would have gotten a ballroom dance

If Conner would have gotten a ballroom dance when he stays in hold and then doesn't move his hips that much, maybe the outcome would be different. Being eliminated actually is something I understand and I'm fine with. What hurts is the outside noise and the comments on social media. There's a lot of noise on social media. People have things to say about your first dance. So how would you respond to that criticism? Sometimes it does get to me, the comments, and of course I'm a human. I feel like even me getting eliminated was not as painful in a way as what people have to say. Jenna, she was so supportive and she was like, "My first season, I went home first. But then the next season I won." The voting was down online. So people had to spell out Conner's name over text, and there's two Connors, and I think they're spelled differently. Maybe the voting issue made it complicated. How do you feel about people like Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr who are coming in with that natural musicality and dance experience? They have that star quality and charisma and natural dancing vibe to them. Yes, they do. Sometimes they like your... um... celebrity. Sometimes they don't feel so connected to any of it. Congratulations on being the next pro. I did not expect to win. I actually didn't even think about it. Dancing with Allen is just amazing. It's the best feeling ever. You guys should date. Sorry, I said it. We get so many messages every single day... uh... people shipping us. But I get it. I get it. I mean, the chemistry is chemistry-ing. It's there.
