Nov. 26, 2007 — -- As this season of "Dancing With the Stars" winds down, "Good Morning America" went backstage to find out what really goes on behind the scenes and answer some of the most common viewer questions.

Marie Osmond talking about partner Jonathan Roberts: The first week that we danced, I don't know him and he doesn't know me. He said, 'Do you want to have a word of prayer before we go out there?' And I said, 'Oh, I am home.' 'Cause I have done that my whole life.

What Julianne Hough told partner Helio Castroneves: I was like, you know what, you're comfortable in your own skin. It might freak you out or it might make you too cocky.

Osmond: It's too late to fix it anyway. Why do you want to make yourself insecure? Just go out and be the best you can be.

Castroneves: Before I go, the only thing I am thinking about, when I look at her I start smiling.

Hough: Every time we go onstage, I say all right, I go like this… (kisses him on the cheek)… 'Have fun,' and then we go!

Jonathan Roberts: Right before we go on the floor we make sure we make eye contact and I say, 'Marie, it's gonna be OK, you're great, you know the routine.'"

Osmond: That's after I vomited.

Osmond: The show provided as great opportunity for me to do the exercise portion. And you know, I went on Nutrisystem.

Osmond: It's over 30.

Roberts: Upside down!
Osmond: No!

Castroneves: Freestyle, it's crazy because it's freestyle. You just throwing her, like … (roars).
