DWTS Season 14′s Donald Driver Chats About Amazing Fan Support And More
The LA Times has a great piece up with Donald answering questions on last week’s dance and pre-package. They ask how his wife has saved him. They also talk of the amazing support from Packer Nation. Donald also chats about what it will take to get a 10 from Len.
Q: What went through your mind when you saw Katherine Jenkins almost faint after her dance?
You just want to run out onto the floor and help her out. She is such a sweet person, you hate to see her in pain like that. Hopefully she’ll be all right.
Q: Judging by the tape shown before your last dance Monday, it seems your wife, Betina, saved you from going down the wrong path. How important has her support been during this whole competition?
When we started dating she put her foot down and said it’s either me or the drug dealing. I didn’t want to lose her so I knew what I had to do. I truly don’t know where I’d be without her. The support she has given me throughout our entire marriage, including this competition, has been amazing. Without her or the kids by my side I wouldn’t have been able to make it as far as I have.
Q: What is it going to take to get a 10 from Len? Maybe you should have your mom talk to him!
It’s going to take a perfect dance. No extra steps, head pointing in the right direction, etc., etc. Hopefully I make the finals and get a couple more opportunities to achieve perfection.

Look, people, if this twitter...
I hope the Packer Nation is large enough to pull this off and give Donald the trophy… *fingerscrossed*.
If its Donald and Free Willy left standing at the end, I don’t know if I will be able to watch.
Seems to me it’s not just Packer Nation’s responsibility to carry Donald and Peta. There are a lot of viewers out there who have lost their favorites over the course of the season. They shouldn’t just sit on the sidelines and expect the Packers’ fans to do the heavy lifting. Regardless of who they were backing earlier in the season, it’s up to anyone who wants to see this lovely duo raise the MBT to do their part and vote for them in the finals.
@Cidra – Amen to that!!
Exactly, Cidra – especially with CAI declaring William the winner. Everyone who wants Donald to win better vote their asses off.
Silly question of mine:
How does the Packer Nation compare to say the Steeler Nation? I am from PA so I am more familiar with the Steelers…
@Cidra and Heidi – My fingers will be voting like crazy on Monday night as soon as the show starts.
I am part of the Packer Nation that has voted for Donald and Peta since the beginning, but it isn’t just because he is a favorite player. It is because he is a great humanitarian and role model. We were hoping that the rest of the country would come to know him and enjoy his smile and upbeat personality like Packer fans have been doing for years. Plus, he can dance! I hope this last week we go far beyond just the Packer Nation votes – Cidra and PH are right! We can’t do it without you!
Kate, my husband and I are “Bear” fans (lol). We love Donald. He’s made a complete fan out of me. Hey, when football season starts, I may even cheer a little for Green Bay now?
Adding: Also, he’s my favorite football player to have ever danced on this show.
Rise up against this season’s blatant pimpage! Vote for Donald and Peta!
Hey folks….I’m part of Ram’s nation but have been votong for Donald since the first dance! He’s absolutely fab and I hope he takes the trophy home! All my votes go to Donald & Pita tonight!
With Gavin & Karina and Maria & Derek gone, all my votes now go to Donald & Peta!!!
