I will critique it!

It [the shirt] is hot and flammable.

At some point I may burst into flames.

Spicer had lots of positive things to say about his fellow competitors.

Everybody is in it for each other … the pros, the crew, the cast.

Everybody wants you to do well.

Your competition is yourself.

I want James Van Der Beek andSailor Brinkley-Cookand everyone else to do great.

Ill worry about myself.

I was so excited to see so many of those people nail it tonight.

They were all doing phenomenal.

Thats what is so great about the show.

We can all root for each other.

We can care about each other.

Ive been so honored to be a part of it.
