Following two great consecutive weeks on
Dancing with the Stars, can Joanna Krupa and pro partner Derek Hough really win it all? Mya has something to say about that, but for the swimsuit model, it feels "amazing" to the show's frontrunner, especially in view of Mya's recent slip in the leader board.
"I feel like I'm in a dream and somebody needs to pinch me only because I've dreamt of being a ballerina since I was little. When I first signed up for the show, I'm like, "Oh, I hope I can get to Week 2 or Week 3" because of the whole model curse they told me about. Being here every day is such an honor. I've definitely exceeded my and Derek's expectations because I never knew I had it in me, but it shows, with determination and hard work, you can do anything."

Joanna cited fellow contestant Aaron Carter's not-so-nice reputation on
Dancing with the Stars, and said she recognizes that the show is also about popularity, aside from all the dancing.
"[It] shows no matter what your scores are, it's all about the voters. Obviously we're doing something right, keeping them happy and excited. That's what we'll try to bring it again this week."
Joanna credits that rehearsal vids that are routinely shown before a performance on
Dancing with the Stars, because audience can see how she's a goofball.
"I'm human and it's hurtful for people to make comments about you based on the one and only thing they've seen you in and they don't understand what the situation was," she said. "I'm so grateful that the fans keep us in every week."
Joanna and Derek will perform two routines this week on
Dancing with the Stars, the Quickstep and a futuristic Paso Doble. But alas, no more Derek fantasies for the mean time, she says.
