I need to talk to my coaches about staying fired up,” Jones said. “Tonight I was just so relaxed, I was talking & laughing & dancing. I wasnt scared to come out here & work, and that can be a bad thing. You gotta be terrified a little bit to be sharp. My comfort was working against me.”

Do you guys agree with Jones?
