Considering that Chris' wife and kids live in Florida, he sounds pretty psyched to reunite with them before it's time to tour with Metallica this summer. "I think I’m the only other person on the show that has family away from here, so it’s hard." He added, "It’s nice to know that ok, lets get back to the real world and what’s important."

As for whether or not he'll continue dancing back at home or even on the road, the verdict's still out, especially without Cheryl as his partner. He dished, "I would love to but I know 6 routines, so I don’t know where I would do my six routines, if Cheryl wasn’t there who would I dance with?" He explained, "I could try and teach it to my wife but it would take 75 hours to try and get one done, which is what it took for us, so maybe in the finale we’ll get to do something fun."
