From Marie Osmond’s fainting spell on live television to crushing on Mrs. Brady, my pal Cameron Mathison is back for another round of chattin’ about Dancing with the Stars.

I caught up with the All My Children hunk and host of the Style Network’s Instant Beauty Pageant after his steamy rumba last night with dancing partner Edyta Sliwinska.

What does your wife think of that rumba with Edyta? Did you tell her before the show how hot it was going to be, or is she used to it by now from All My Children?
My wife is great about all of this. She totally knew it was going to be pretty steamy. She told me to really go for it and think of her.

You were hoping the judges would need a cold shower after your dance. Do you think you succeeded?
I was hoping a lot of people across America would need one. I think there might have been a spike in water usage after our dance last night.

Watching Marie Osmond collapse on live television was surreal. What was it like backstage when that happened?
Everyone was really scared. All anyone cared about was that she was going to be okay. It made us all realize how intense this training and stress level is.

Your All My Children costar Susan Lucci came to your rumba practice. Should she compete on Dancing next season?
Susan has been asked to compete since the very beginning. I think I am the only one crazy enough to try and juggle both while traveling across the country. (All My Children shoots in New York, while Dancing is here in Hollywood.)

Sabrina ended up having to rehearse in front of her partner Mark Ballas' mom. How uncomfortable would it have been to do your steamy dance in front of Edyta's mom?
I think when you are in the moment, you don’t think about much else. I have rehearsal in front of Edyta's husband [Alec Mazo, who was former contestant Josie Maran's dancing partner], which in theory should be even worse. But it's very clear that we are playing a part for the minute and 20 seconds, and that is it.

Tori Spelling, Heather Mills, Jennifer Esposito and even Mrs. Brady (Florence Henderson) were in the audience, which of these women would you like to dance with?
I dated Jennifer for two years, so I know she can really dance. I was roommates with Tori's husband Dean [McDermott], so I'm sure he would be cool with that. And I used to have a crush on Mrs. Brady, so I probably would enjoy a dance with her.

It seems to be a very friendly competition. But be honest, isn't everyone hoping that Sabrina will mess up a little bit and stop being so, well, perfect?
Sabrina is always going to come out and be a great dancer. That is what she does for a living, so none of us are surprised. We all love to watch her. She rocks. Thing is, the competition seems to be about people at home not knowing what will happen next. There is a certain excitement when someone who has never danced before comes out and really nails a routine.

How are you feeling after something popped in your hip during rehearsals last week?
I'm still sore. My hip is healing. If I could squeeze in a massage or two, I think my body would be very appreciative.
