Here's what they had to say about Emmitt:
Emmitt Smith (with Cheryl Burke)
Previous outing: The three-time Super Bowl champ, 43, won Season 3.
Back with Burke: "Cheryl and I have a very good chemistry. I was thrilled to get her back. I don't know how I beat out (Burke's former partners) Gilles and Drew."
What hurts?"Hurting is overstated. Sore is the message I want to convey here. My feet, my hips. It's a different kind of hurt."
The disco-ball trophy: "It's in my game room, a prime location. We had a charity event at the house, and I brought the trophy down. It was like a brand-new baby. People wanted to take pictures with it."
Age factor: "Six years ago, I was 37 and two years out of football. Now, at 43, and not performing on consistent basis, age is a factor. But I looked at the dances I did. I still think I can do some of those things.
First dance: Cha cha
Biggest competition: "Gilles is a superb dancer. His skill set is as good as the pros. (But) then there's every last one. It's going to be tough. But you know what? So was football."
