“When you are cast on Dancing with the Stars, you are seeing these people hours every single day,” she continued. “Then, it just stops. It genuinely feels like a breakup. It feels like I’m going through withdrawals right now. Today just felt so weird. It felt so weird not going into the studio and meeting with Mark and learning a dance. It just felt weird, and it made me sad.”
Whitney then detailed the positive parts of her time on DWTS.
“You grow real friendships and real connections with these people,” she shared, “and you learn so much about yourself and people who lift you constantly, and you challenge yourself, like, you just feel so loved.”‘
She also noted that there are “some key takeaways” from her time on the show that she’s going to bring into her daily life.
“It’s so important to surround yourself with people who believe in you, who want to see you, achieve your delusional dreams, as cheesy as that sounds,” Whitney said.
She concluded her video by saying that she’ll “forever be so grateful” for Mark and gushed about the friendship they developed as they worked together this season.
“I loved every bit of it, but the one thing that I have loved the most that I wasn’t expecting was getting a lifelong friend, a friend who who makes fart noises every single day,” Whitney said. “I’m just so grateful. I love you guys. And I f–king love this show.”
The Dancing with the Stars season 34 finale airs on Tuesday night, November 25 at 8pm ET on ABC and will be available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. See which five couples will be competing!
