Let me kick this off with Howie. >> I don't understand. I do.

Oh, you did great. >> After that experience, I swore [music] that we weren't going to have any more close calls. So, we put a lot more into each routine and we got all the way to the finals.
I think the best part about it was just doing the journey with my best friend. That final was not [music] our best routine. It really wasn't.
>> The act leaving the competition [music] is Sarah and Hero. [music] I watch it back to this day and I can't watch it without crying. So, [music] it's an incredible honor to get the second chance to try again.

You said that your family didn't support you and didn't think there was a future. Not only are you making a life of it, you were able to buy a house, you entertain millions and now it's up to those 50 states to allow you to go further. [cheering] >> Thank you so much.
>> I mean, amazing. I mean, we've missed you. So to have you back, it's fantastic.
And look, you deserve a place in the final. I would love to see you in the final. Stiff competition, but let's see what happens.
