The competition is fierce in season thirty-two of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. There has been controversy around some contestants, as well as anger from die-hard fans of the show about the weight audience votes carry in each season. Despite all (or perhaps because) of this, the show is rolling on and is as popular as ever. Collider had the opportunity to chat with Marvel star Xochitl Gomez and her DWTS partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, about their partnership and experience on the series. As partners, they’ve had their ups and downs throughout the competition thus far. Excluding the first week of performances, the duo has earned high marks throughout the season. In fact, Xochitl performed with a sprained ankle during Music Video week, and the couple still managed to earn 8’s and 9’s from the judges.

Xochitl and Val work well together, and have developed a light-hearted relationship reminiscent of an older brother and younger sister. During their chat with Collider, Xochitl would occasionally poke fun at Val, who would either hit back with a quick quip or ignore her the way many big brothers do. In between these moments, they shared insight into their experience, as well as their excitement for the upcoming Whitney Houston night of dancing.
