“I never feel robbed,” Val told Parade in an exclusive. “Nobody owes me anything. I just want to do a great job. I felt so excited for Alex. When we finished that dance, I knew we did something special. And that, to me, is more rewarding than any perfect score. But was I sad for Alex? Yes, I was. I was sad for Alex because she did work really hard.”
Over the years, Val has had many perfect scores, so it’s easy for him to take it in stride. But Alix is only on the dance competition this one season, and she’s never going to get that moment of a perfect Paso Doble again.
That same night, Val had complimented Alix on air as being the perfect partner, which was an important moment considering all the rumors that the two weren’t getting along.
“I wouldn’t give that much weight that there was some big controversy,” Val explained. “There’s so many eyeballs on the show right now, and therefore there’s so much more conversation around it, which I love, right? It’s like that double-edged sword. We want to be celebrated and watched and enjoyed by many, many people. That’s why we’re entertaining. But having said that, I’d be very naïve to think that every single thing I’m going to hear is going to be positive or accurate, even.”

“It took time to build trust. It took time for us to be comfortable around each other. There’s also a level of respect that I have for Alex, and she has for me, and we have for this process. And I think that’s what people misconstrued in the beginning, is that respect that we have for each other in this process, that we still maintain throughout. But obviously, there’s more warmth and comfort, and I think that’s what people have seen as of late.”
This week for the DWTS “20th Birthday Party” episode, celebrating 20 years of the series being on ABC, Alix and Val will be doing a foxtrot to “Singin’ in the Rain” by Matthew Morrison. And Val sees his job as showcasing yet a different side of her.

“My first year of college, I went to business school, so I had a real entrepreneurial spirit back then, because believe it or not, it was before Dancing with the Stars, and it didn’t look promising for me. Ballroom dancing wasn’t always a sure thing, like it is now. My best friend used to work at Subway, and we used to hang out at the Subway all the time, and we were like, ‘Hey, maybe this is a good business for us to get into.’ There were some entrepreneurial dreams of opening up a Subway when I was younger.”
Luckily, Dancing with the Stars happened, but that doesn’t mean that Val has severed his connection with Subway. Rather, now, he’s in a position to partner with the chain, especially since he continues to chow down on their sandwiches. Chicken Teriyaki is his favorite, but with the release of Subway’s Fresh Fit Menu, he’s exploring some new options.

The accessibility also fits into Val’s on-the-go lifestyle.
