Robert:

“Eric? Eric Wade? Are you in the ballroom? Somebody text Eric and tell him he made semis. Does Eric have ANY friends? Am I going to find Eric tied up in a closet somewhere? “Okay going once, going twice, OKAY I’m bringing in First Alternate Steve Slocum! Congratulations Steve, you’re dancing! “Oh no, wait, we found Eric? Eric was outside the ballroom trying to find where he’s supposed to check in? Okay, well then Eric you’re dancing, and so is Steve! “So now let’s bring in First Alternate follower, Ayla Hotich! What, she’s not in the ballroom? She left? She didn’t want to watch any of her friends? Cause I’d be so bummed I only made alternate I’d be like “I am OUTTA here I’m not watching ANY of those punks dance.”

(Ayla was in the bathroom. An entire table of screaming Aussies ran to drag her out.)
