\"We weren't even supposed to be on this season, and by a twist of fate, we were put on it -- and it happened at a time in my life where I was at my lowest of lows, and suddenly was at a new high,\" said Tran, who revealed during the \"Bachelorette\" finale in September that she and ex-fiance Devin Strader had broken up after the show ended.

\"It just proves that with every closed door, new opportunity comes, and I'm excited to see what this new door is going to open for us now,\" she continued.
Tran said the show was \"such a great distraction\" and that dancing helped her tap into her emotions. \"I built so much confidence ... I just learned so much about myself, and I feel so much more connected to myself now,\" she said.
Farber, meanwhile, spoke highly of his time with Tran as well, calling her \"a joy to work with\" and \"an incredible human.\"
\"I'm lucky that I got to dance with her and meet her, and she really made coming to work so easy, and the in-betweens of, like, not work,\" he said, revealing the pair would hang out often and \"be normal.\"

Tran compared her experience on \"Dancing with the Stars\" to her time on \"The Bachelorette,\" saying, \"I've cried here more than I ever cried on 'The Bachelorette,' minus the finale,\" she said.
She also described the pressure of the competition and spoke about the amount of time she committed to perfecting each dance.

\"It's a lot,\" she said. \"I mean, just like pressure that I put on myself. It's like you are putting in blood, sweat and tears every day at rehearsals, endless hours, like countless hours, and then to have one minute keeping yourself on the dance floor... like, it's a lot of pressure to put on yourself.\"
Farber elaborated on the pressure of performing for a live audience each week. \"It's like everything's running through your head, and it's the ability to take over that and be like, you know what I can do this,\" he said.
\"Dancing with the Stars\" airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, streaming the next day on Hulu.
Disney is the parent company of Hulu, ABC News, and \"Good Morning America.\"
