Julianne Hough: About Last Night, About Your Questions
Hey Everyone,
Sorry this is so late today. The schedule here at Dancing With The Stars is all different. My call time wasn’t until 12:25 and before that my morning was crazy. I did interviews, ran my boyfriend to the airport, came back and did a few more interviews, and then I literally went onstage to do a dress rehearsal, and now…now I’m relaxing in the hair trailer and whipping off this blog post to you.
The buzz here about last night’s show is that Warren Sapp was awesome, so light on his feet. Gosh, that’s 300 pounds he’s moving around. Everyone’s also talking about how harsh the judges have been. I think they’re trying to make the marks a little lower so come week six or seven they can make the marks a little higher and it will be a big deal. What do you think?
If you ask me, they were a little harsh last night on Cody. I think he did a great job for the amount of time we had to learn a new dance. Everyone did a great job considering we had only three days compared to the normal five and we didn’t have any time to ease into it. I was proud of Cody since he’s only 18 and somewhat limited in the romance department. You have to remember he’s a guy who really did say to me during rehearsal that the best way to his heart was when a girl brings him food.
We worked hard, but I’ll tell you secret. The first day was almost pointless. He’d gone to bed about 5 am and we had rehearsal at 10 that morning, so he was, to say the least, a little out of it. He knew it too, so I’m not talking behind his back. But the next day, we cracked the whip on him and he did great. If you ask me, I think he pulled off being sexy and romantic.
It’s hard. Last night’s competition was pretty high. You can usually tell the front runners, but this season it’s pretty close. I haven’t figured out who is going to be in the top; in previous seasons I’ve been able to predict it pretty accurately almost from the start. As for us, Cody and I are right in the middle and that’s a good spot to be at this point. I’m hoping we’ll make it by halfway through and by then we’ll have improved so much we’ll keep going.
I’m happy that so many of you are enjoying this blog. Let me answer a few of your questions.
Jess, thanks for asking about Lexi. I’ll try to get a couple pictures of us together and put them up.
Lisa, it’s so cute you want to know what happened to Jackson. For everyone else, Jackson was my roommate’s dog that I took care of when she had a baby. I took him on the road with me. I had him in Nashville. He wasn’t my dog but he was like my dog. Now he’s in Arizona with her family.
Jay wants to know if I listen to Adam Carolla’s radio show. I listen every so often. I listened to it a lot last season when I was dancing with him and driving around. But this year I haven’t been in the car early enough to catch his show. Also, I live pretty near where I work so I don’t have a long drive.
Ava, I am enjoying partnering with Cody, though he does have a problem focusing. I think the jive might be good for Cody because of how much energy he has. When we do the freestyle I have a trick up my sleeve that will be good for Cody.
Warren, do you think I’m too serious? That’s interesting. Maybe it’s just that I’m concentrating. Between last week and last night, there’s been a lot of waiting around. Maybe it’s the up and downs of going from excitement to nervousness and then to boredom and then back to excitement. I don’t feel like I’ve been too serious. As for the boyfriend, he’s been on tour the whole time.
Katilyn, I love your idea about performing with Helio again. That would be really cool. I haven’t thought about it. But Helio loves the show and will do anything. Why don’t you call the producers and suggest we do the dance?
Cheryl, I talk to Apolo and Helio at least once a month if not twice a month. Sometimes I’ll talk twice in a week. We definitely stay in contact. Apolo is so funny. The last time I spoke to him, he was talking about the Olympics being right around the corner. I said, isn’t it in two years? He said,, Yeah, isn’t that quick? I said if that’s quick to you, then yeah. He’s just training really hard. We’re great, great friends. He hasn’t given Cody any advice, but I have an idea for one of those video packages they play before we dance. I think it would be funny to bring Apolo and Helio out to give Cody advice and then have Adam come in on his unicycle and say hey, what am I?
Mea, I’m going to be performing on the results show October 21. I’ll be singing single, “My Hallelujah Song.” I’m looking forward to it.
Nicole, thanks for coming to the show. I hope you enjoyed it. I’m going to tour after Dancing. Absolutely. I haven’t found a tour to go on next year, but I’ll be doing my own shows at festivals. Once we find a tour to get on, I’ll definitely let everyone know.
Hey, and to all the others who said they liked my album and listened to the new song, thank you!
Talk to you tomorrow.
Julianne.

Tonight's results were handled the same way as last week. ABC had couples introduced as being "safe" until there was only two teams left. That was Kim with Mark Ballas(last year's champion with Kritsi Yamaguchi) and Cloris with Corky Ballas. I had a bad feeling about this, because Cloris support among seniors is legendary despite her minimal dancing skills and low scores. One of the Ballas men was going down no matter what. My feeling was correct, as Cloris again received more voter support than she deserved and avoided elimination. Kim was eliminated.

I can tell you that Kim Kardashian is hated by women in middle America and her reputation did not help her. Cloris again appealed to the Gray Panthers, AARP and one other senior citizens group. I love seniors. My parents are seniors, but many seniors can use their time much more wisely than to jam ABC's phone lines which is what I heard they did.
