    Carly on blowing bubbles:

    "I think I was probably maybe like 8 the last time I tried this, but I'm very competitive. So if this is a competition between me and the other Pink Ladies and the boys, I'm gonna win it. I'm sorry! I'm gonna win. Actually, I have no skill at blowing bubbles — I'm totally screwed."

    Aaron Tveit

    Aaron on his experience in the bubble blowing arena:

    "I've blown a lot of bubbles in my life, particularly on the baseball field. You gotta chew it for a long time. I don't know if I'm quite ready to do this yet."

    Aaron's score:

    Vanessa Hudgens

    Vanessa's bubble blowing strategy:

    It's all about concentration, focus, and not giving her strategy away.

    Carlos PenaVega

    Carlos' take on bubble blowing:

    "I have absolutely no history with bubble blowing. I've tried to blow bubbles before and it hasn't really gone well, but I've been told that the gum that I'm chewing right now is THE bubblegum to make bubbles, so I'm kind of excited to see how my bubblegum blowing is. Is that a thing? Bubblegum blowing?"

    Keke Palmer

    BuzzFeed

    Keke's breakdown on how to blow the perfect bubble:

    "Bubble blowing for me, you have to make sure you get it to the point where the sugar isn't at the top. So you have to chew it to the point where it gets to the more fluid consistency as opposed to that really sugary consistency that's almost milky. You gotta place it in the middle of your tongue and push it out."

    "How'd it gonna fail me like this?"

    Kether Donohue

    Kether on if she has a strategy for this competition:

    "No. Just like my life, I kind of just roll with it. My resume in bubblegum blowing is very strong, I think. So I'm just gonna try and remember what I did last time."

    Andrew Call

    BuzzFeed

    Andrew on his blowing tactic:

    "I think I have a lot of bubble blowing experience. I think the strategy is to chew as much as possible, get it really good and elastic-y, and then give it a whirl. I need to find my inner-bubble peace."

    Andrew's score:

    Julianne Hough

    BuzzFeed

    Julianne on her history with bubbles:

    "I don't have a lot of experience with bubble blowing — it sounds so weird! My experience is very limited when it comes to blowing bubbles. I think the last time I did it I was probably 10 — but I'm gonna try!"

    Julianne's score:

    Charlotte Gomez / BuzzFeed

    Jordan Fisher

    BuzzFeed

    Jordan on his bubblegum blowing skills:

    "I'd say my experience is pretty extensive — I've been doing it for a minute. I feel like a lot of people have the same kind of experience, it depends on where you're from. I'm from the south so I have a good southern blowing technique. That sounds a little dirty. I think its all about the balance of new gum and warming into it, which is why I'm furiously chewing."
