Danielle Fishel Cries After DWTS Elimination (Exclusive)

What a true joy your competing on this series has brought to my life. You are so inspiring and to hear you talk about your cancer journey and how you infused everything that you went through into that contemporary routine. What did that mean to you? It was really special. It was a difficult week. Contemporary obviously is an emotional dance. Uh, so yeah, I mean it was it was a special week and I’m just grateful for Pasha for being there with me and supporting me through it and being patient with me because I wasn’t necessarily always, you know, fully there. I was in my head a lot. She was she was there. Yeah. All these lights on my face getting clear [Music] in my head. You know what? We’re all in our heads, right? Because we just care so much and I know that you cared so much about this experience. I know you never expect to go home, but hearing your name called, what goes through your mind in that moment? Um, I mean, lots of things, but the first thing is just it was a It was a rush of all of a bunch of super happy memories. Like this this last week being able to do this incredible team dance and work with some of my favorite pros and some of my favorite celebs was like as we were doing it I was aware that I was making core memories. And so it was just kind of like you know like when your life flashes before your eyes it was like that but of all like super happy moments. You know, I’ I’ve interviewed a few people already tonight and they’ve all just talked about not just what a great dancer you are, but what a good person you are, who you are on the inside. What are you going to miss most about dancing week after week on Dancing with the Stars? I’m going to miss my collaborations with Posasha. I’m going to miss conversations with him. I’m going to miss, you know, physically challenging myself. I’ll challenge you physically and I’ll keep the conversations going. Don’t you worry. What does Dy have to do with this? I mean, Pasha, you called Danielle a friend for life, and Daniela just told me, “Oh, your kids are going to be playing. You guys are family at this point.” What has this woman’s uh partnership meant to you? It meant everything. Uh, we clicked from the get-go. We Let me just tell you this. Our daughter Kiki, she’s very selective with who she says hi to, who she go gets close to. you know, she’s she’s definitely very um I don’t know, judgy, I guess. But but um she loved Danielle from the first second. And now last time we went to a party together, she was in her arms the entire time. And even when I said, “Do you want to go to papa?” she’s like, “Nope.” She just sat in her arms. So that just says a lot. You know what I mean? We we just love everything about her. I mean, what does this woman mean to you, Jordan? I can tell you’re embracing cuz you love her so dearly. Um, honestly, I think there’s not one word I can say about who Danielle is. She has done such a remarkable job being the person that she is and coming out into a space that not only as a little kid she had to endure being, you know, Tena and all these things, but you were a character. Now, being able to be yourself on a ballroom floor dancing your life away and telling your story, I think is the biggest thing that I can really take away. and just to have somebody that was able to really, you know, go to rehearsals and be like, “Oh my gosh, where’s Danielle?” And, you know, just have our little talk. So, I’m definitely going to miss that. But, you know, I’m always there. So, I love you. I love you so much. Love it. Danielle, I see tears. I Posh’s out of it. I’m just kidding. We love Pasha, too. The same. I see tears in your eyes. What’s going through your mind? Love you. I just I love all of these people so much. And like this week, I mean, like when I talk about this team dance, like honestly, it’s such a great week to if you have to go like to go out on this high note because it felt great every single day. And then we came out here, we worked really hard for it in the short amount of time that we had and then we came out here and we killed it and we got the first perfect score of the season. And so like if you have to leave, leave on a high. I’m so proud of you. Thank you.
