“I don’t know if I’m going to rip the t-shirt open right off the bat. But just being on stage, being in front of a crowd, dancing, learning some choreography definitely helps,” the Jersey Shore star confessed during a DWTS press conference. “But this is completely different. This is ballroom style. Something I’ve never done before.”

“We’ll try to incorporate a little peekaboo here and there at some point,” Koko chimed in.

“We got to let it build a little bit. And then, we’ll rip it off,” Vinny continued. “We’re going to bring the shower in from Chippendales, and that’s it.”
