Kassy's Second Entry

Going last for our first performance show was actually really good. It gave me enough time to sort my head out, and work out the reason why I was doing it, my reason for being onstage. The story was about being hurt, being cut open and bleeding from a lack of respect from a boyfriend or loved one. That's happened to me, so it was good to take that time out to put myself back in that position of when that was happening to me. It's hard, and it's hard to use that in the correct way: rather than get upset and get messy, to use that all positively.

The routine couldn't have gone any better. I was so stoked, it was all real, my feelings were real and the comments the judges made couldn't have been better. I was so happy I'd succeeded in my expression of the performance. It was hard afterwards though, I wanted to party and let loose for four days, but I had to go home, go to bed, then get up and learn a new routine for eight hours. There's no downtime here, it's all go go go.

The group chorey on the Monday was really fun. I had friends in the audience, and they were all really happy and amazed at the show. The eviction night was a shock. It was devastating. You forget it is a competition: we've all been going home, hanging out with our mates, drinking, playing games: it was a real reality check. I didn't want Khaly to go – he's a really wonderful guy to have around, having him leave was really horrible. Out of the majority of the guys, he was the one who really wanted to learn other styles so much. He was so eager, so it's upsetting he won't have chance now. I miss him dearly.

I'm really excited about this next performance. I'm hurting a bit, in pain – we all are – but being sore and tired adds to the tension and the excitement of it all. I think it's great this time everyone will get to see our sensitive side. My style is usually sexy, hot, ghetto; so now everyone can fall in love with who we really are.

Biggest misconception about dancers: We're all bitchy and unsupportive – those people get weeded out quite quickly. You won't make it if you can't support your friends when they do well.

Kassy's First Entry

Today I've been doing rehearsal with my wonderful partner so my legs feel like jelly cuz I've been working so hard! I think our routine will be great for the first show, I'm really excited. I share with Rhiannon, but she's always at different shifts to me, so I don't see her much. I've been cooking dinner every night. Last night I made spaghetti bolognaise and my dance partner spilled it all over a cushion. The hotel is beautiful. My room looks like a bomb has hit it. I'm really messy, but everything has to be clean, not dirty.

Today we're rehearsing at Sydney Dance Company. I love it - on the water with beautiful studios. I teach here, so it's great to be back in my own studio. I had a massage last night – I call my masseuse Fabbo Phil, he's so intense. He got into my thighs with a sledgehammer to try to get rid of my chunka thighs, so I'm a bit sore this morning. I'm about to go to costume and I might just fall asleep in the car on the way there. I have already seen my costume for the group corry – it's very booby.

I hang out with my partner, Demi and Jack – we rehearse, we cook, we chat, we watch TV, we hug, we just Hang. I cried when we watched the show, especially when Demi did the sign language for her sister. It was one of the most precious moments I've ever seen on TV. I feel blessed to have such friends in the competition, really lucky.

The set is amazing – I've never seen such a cool set in my life. Later today we're back there to do entering and exiting the set. It'll be interesting to get my shoes on the set and see what the floor is like. Some are easy, some are hard. I can't wait to NOT fall down the stairs. I'm very pleased they didn't show me falling down the stairs at Carriageworks during the auditions or running into the cameras!

The whole experience has been phenomenal, it's so wonderful to be a part of it all. Seeing yourself on TV is always awkward – it's hard when the whole package isn't shown. You're yet to see my clumsiness and my bogan Australian side. There's no fakeness or arrogance with me. I'm the most laidback chick you'll ever meet.

Thanks for your support guys!

Fave dance movie: Flashdance – I so wanna have water fall on me and lay back on a chair. If no one does it for me, I'm gonna do it on my own at home
