‘Dancing With The Stars’ Contestants Prep For Semifinals

 “I probably talked crap, but after you get here and see all the good dancers, and everybody that’s so capable of winning this thing, you’re like, ‘OK, what did I get myself into?'” the Grammy winner said. “But it’s been really great. We’re very fortunate. I want to thank my fans because I know that’s the majority of the reason of why we’re still hanging in here. It’s a lot of fun and we’re trying to keep it rolling.”

“We have the Jive for the Redemption Dance and I feel like this could be a really great dance for us. It is just going to give us another opportunity to show Nelly in the ballroom,” his partner, Daniella Karagach chimed in. “This is going to be more true to technique, no lifts, so we’re taking it back to classical ballroom, which I love.”

Even The Top Performers Are A Little Nervous Now

Nev Schulman and Jenna Johnson are one couple that many expect to win. But Nev isn’t so sure. He said he was sure Backstreet Boy AJ McLean was going to be in the finals. And instead, he and his partner Cheryl Burke went home last week.

“As far as competition, at this point obviously everyone’s fantastic. I’ve had a sort of playful, frenemy relationship with Justina all season, because Sasha is such a goofball, he likes to trash talk. We have this fun sort of competitiveness between us, but I think it’s been good for us because I’ve always considered her to be such a fantastic performer since week one,” Nev told ET about his competition.

But even Sasha admitted at this point, it’s anyone’s game.
