Jason Taylor Elimination: Backstage Report

Jason, were you disappointed when Kristi was announced as the winner?

Jason: It was expected that she would win. She so deserved it. I would have been shocked if she didn't win. After we saw her dance the first time, Edyta and I just looked at each other and said, "This is a waste for us!" We got close, but we were still so far away.

Jason, how did it feel to get a perfect score of 30?

Jason: It was great to experience what Kristi did on practically a weekly basis! Seeing three 10s from the judges was great.

Edyta: I enjoy each season more and more. I love being able to do what I love. I love getting to meet great people like Jason. It's been a blast for me this season.

Jason and Edyta, whose idea was it to rip Jason's shirt off at the end of your dance?

Edyta: It was my idea. I take total responsibility. Jason's totally modest and has a gorgeous body!

Jason, have you considered acting when your football career is over?

Jason: Absolutely! This show has been a great experience. The great thing about being on this show is that it's afforded me some opportunities. We'll see what fits.
