Follow Biles, 20, and her pro dancer partner Sasha Farber, 33, on Twitter! So my nerves are apparently not going anywhere. Premiere night I was so nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, but going into our second live show last week I still had nerves because I wanted to do well when we performed our routine. I feel like I did really well, though! That was one of the best runs of the dance we’d done. I still need to work on the emotional part of the dance because getting the steps aren’t the only part of it. You have to tell a story. It was scary showing a different side of me that I’d never shown. It was a little forced, but hopefully I get better as we go along with showing the emotional side of things. Craig Sjodin/ABC via Getty It was sad saying goodbye to Chris Kattan. The competition really became a reality once it happened. We are going to miss Chris. We love him. He’s a funny guy. He walks into the room and the room lights up. It’s sad to see him go and he overcame a lot. He had a broken neck and look at him, he’s out there having a good time. Normani Kordei and Nancy Kerrigan and I were sitting there and were, like, “We do not like this. This is sad.” It’s not a good feeling when anyone has to go home. So to make sure I’m not the one going home, I know I’ve got to work extra hard every week. FROM COINAGE: The Cost of Dancing with the Stars‘ Mirrorball Trophy This week it’s Vegas week and Sasha and I are dancing a quickstep to Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas.” We are going to try and impersonate Elvis in the beginning. We only have a couple of seconds to get our message across so that puts a little more pressure on us but hopefully we can pull it off. I knew a little about Elvis before this week, but I was born 20 years after his death! I loved getting to learn more about him. He was the king — who doesn’t want to learn all about the king?! I picked up this dance a lot quicker than any of the other ones, I think maybe because the steps are just a little bit quicker and more repetitive. After the first few seconds, we just jam-packed the rest of the routine with quickstep. Hopefully [head judge Len Goodman appreciates that and gets excited and we get good feedback. Dancing with the Stars‘ Vegas week airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
