Robert Irwin and Witney Carson just hit a major achievement on Dancing With the Stars!<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old wildlife conservationist and his pro partner earned the first perfect score of season 34 during Tuesday night\u2019s (November 11) episode, celebrating the show\u2019s 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n
For their routine, Robert and Witney performed a foxtrot set to \u201cFootprints in the Sand\u201d by Leona Lewis, inspired by his sister Bindi Irwin\u2018s season 21 freestyle and dedicated to their late father Steve Irwin. Bindi even joined the dance at the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of weight,\u201d Robert said during their package, \u201cbecause I really want it to be our best dance yet, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carrie Ann Inaba called the routine \u201cso powerful and profound.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once it came time for the judges to reveal their scores, they each gave the couple a 10, with a combined total of 40 out of 40. This is the FIRST perfect score of the season!<\/p>\n
Over the past two weeks, another celebrity has just missed out on a perfect score by one point, and last week\u2019s guest judge revealed they were intended to give them a 10, which would have made it a perfect score.<\/p>\n
Well, don\u2019t be too sure about that. According to Napolitano, who spoke with Collider\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really wanted to write a love letter to Bodiela fans.<\/strong>\u00a0Their love has been such an important part of the show. It was such an important part of the pilot. She\u2019s been such an important part of our show and Bode\u2019s life that we wanted to honor that and give the audience this little window of exactly what those scenes are, which is them in pajamas on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n And, while they may not be together right now, Napolitano certainly isn\u2019t using definitive words like \u201cnever\u201d when it comes to\u00a0what the future holds<\/strong>\u00a0for the pair. When asked whether Bode and Gabriela could be endgame, she said,\u00a0<\/p>\n With all the back-and-forth dynamics playing out between Bode and Gabriela during the show\u2019s run, it seemed like both characters were finding happiness with other partners in\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAudrey will return to Edgewater and will really be someone that Bode leans on. She\u2019s someone that\u2019s got his number. He has those pills in the final moments of the show. Brett Richards is going to be someone who\u2019s under his skin. He\u2019s dealing with the grief of losing his father. Audrey will really rise to the occasion to be someone who can keep him in line, keep him fighting, and keep him fighting to follow his better angels. In the fight for Bode\u2019s soul, I think she\u2019s really going to be a force for good that will make us root for them as a couple.\u201d<\/p>\n
