0:47First impressions include Wood remembering Arnold looking up his last name in front of him.
1:46The pet-peeves round reveals Wood's dislike of chewing sounds and overly positive advice.
4:19Love languages lead to Wood's story about blocking a friend who offered dance critiques.
7:04Their karaoke choices range from Brad Paisley's "I'm Gonna Miss Her" to "Unwritten."
9:07Arnold chooses the rumba as her favorite routine; Wood chooses their error-prone tango.
14:46The producer reveals the final scores and which partner knows the other better.

Connor Wood welcomes words of affirmation. Constructive feedback is another matter. Rylee Arnold knows both things about her Dancing with the Stars partner, and their BuzzFeed Celeb test gives him room to explain the difference.

"Ew, I hate getting advice," Wood says during the pet-peeves round. Later, he recalls a friend offering unsolicited dance criticism and delivers his solution: "To save our relationship, you are blocked." Viewers pick up on the contrast between wanting encouragement and disliking upbeat clichés, turning it into a running topic in the comments.

"Rylee Arnold and Connor Wood Find Out How Well They Know Each Other" has reached roughly 175,000 views. Its estimated first-day audience was about ten times the channel's usual start for regular videos.

Made to celebrate Dancing with the Stars Season 35, the co-star test moves beyond rehearsal knowledge into karaoke choices, love languages and first impressions. Wood remembers watching Arnold look up his last name in front of him. Their musical instincts differ, too: his birthday karaoke attempt involved Brad Paisley's "I'm Gonna Miss Her," while Arnold's go-to is "Unwritten."

Even their favorite routines don't match. Arnold chooses their rumba to "Touch My Body." Wood picks the tango, despite freely admitting that it was the dance he made a mess of. Apparently, enjoying a routine and executing it are separate questions.
