5 min readGood Morning, It’s a New Day
Brooke and Connor sit down for a conversation that starts with Connor’s experience on Dancing with the Stars and expands into a broader discussion about competition, vulnerability, aging, and the strange experience of living through a public storyline. Connor has just performed a dance that included a visible misstep, and the episode is largely a debrief of that night—the judging, the online discourse, and the emotional aftermath.
The Dance, the Judging, and the Storyline
Connor describes the performance as one where he felt calm going in, but a single misstep—barreling toward the cameras and missing a step—threw him off. He recovered, but the mistake was visible. The judges gave him a score that prompted booing from the audience, and one judge’s first words were “what a shame.” Brooke, who watched from home, says she stood up and booed at that comment. Connor, however, is careful to separate his feelings about the scores from his feelings about the judging itself. He says he does not take the judges’ feedback personally. “I’m not taking the judge’s very direct, almost a little hurtful feedback personally at all,” he says. He understands that the judges sit at an elevated vantage point and see every step, and that the show has been around for 25 years—there is method to the scoring.
