Apparently Helio Castroneves has been lending a hand to new season 6 cast member, Jason Taylor. While Helio and Jason were in Chicago filming the Oprah show they spent 2 hours out to dinner chattin’ it up. Jason’s wife was also there.

Helio told Taylor that his body would be really sore from all the dancing and that the show is very time consuming. He also offerred advice to Taylor’s wife telling her, “I can see you’re more excited than anybody else but you can’t interfere because he’s the one who is dancing,’ ” Castroneves recalled. ‘ `[Jason’s partner, Edyta Sliwinska] is very hot, so don’t be jealous because it’s just on the dance floor. If you start creating some friction that’s going to be affecting you too.” Jason and his wife will be relocating to LA while the show is going on.

Helio sensed some nervousness in Jason. Helio said, “I told him, `Have fun and don’t be too competitive because you’re already competitive in your job, and just relax.”

Helio and Jason exchanged phone numbers. Helio told Jason to call him if he needed anything.

What a sweetie that Helio is! We still love ya, Helio
