Contestants Talk Strategy Backstage at 'Dancing With the Stars'

Canvas background demo

 

ET is behind the scenes with the contestants after week two of "Dancing With the Stars", find out how they felt about their performances and what they are planning to do to kick it up a notch in the weeks to come.

Julianne Hough tells ET about her plans to get Chuck Wicks more involved in their routine based on the judges' suggestions.

"The criticism is so harsh this year," Julianne says. "We're still fifth position which is still a good place to be, there's still room to grow. Next week they said they want to see more him dancing so I think I'm going to sit on a stool for the first half of the dance. I'm just gonna sit, he's going to dance and do his thing."

Rodeo star Ty Murray admits to some wear and tear from rehearsing but, talks to ET about his strategy with partner Chelsie Hightower.

"It's rough, it is a lot of hard work," Ty says. "I'm sore in a lot of places. My feet feel like every bone in them is broken. Me and Chelsie's strategy is to be the last two standing."

Watch the video to hear the stars' reactions to "Jackass" star Steve-O's injury, and be sure to tune into the "Dancing With the Stars" results show Tuesday night at 9 p.m. on ABC.
