Just when fans thought he couldn’t get any better, Robert Irwin brought the heat for his latest performance on Dancing With The Stars. The 21-year-old Wildlife Warrior performed a Paso Doble with his partner Witney Carson to The White Stripes’ ‘Icky Thump’ for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night.
Expectations were high after he received two 10s for last week’s performance, but he certainly didn’t disappoint. The judges gave him 38 points for the routine, which tied last week’s performance for his highest score.
While viewers applauded the performance on social media, many questioned why the judges didn’t give him the first perfect score of the season.
Some claimed Robert was “robbed”, and others were certain he was “underscored”.
“I feel rage baited with these scores! So good,” one person wrote, followed by another who added, “So over it”.
“Give this man all the 10s. This was so good,” a fan proclaimed.

‘Unbelievable’
Others declared that Robert and Witney will “absolutely” be walking away from the competition with the Mirrorball trophy, just like his sister Bindi did a decade ago.
“ROBERT IS MY MIRRORBALL WINNER,” one viewer commented.
“Okay Robert Irwin, that dance was INSANE. Winner incoming,” a different user remarked, with others describing his performance as “breathtaking”, “unbelievable”, and “perfection”.
The season finale is set to air on November 25, with next week’s episode celebrating the 20th anniversary of the series.
Robert’s adorable Halloween costume
This comes after Robert thrilled fans on social media with a gallery of snaps of himself and his four-year-old niece Grace Warrior dressed up for Halloween.
The pair went as Cinderella and Prince Charming, with Robert also sharing a sweet video of them dancing together.
“Promised Cinderella a dance for Halloween. I’m really happy these dancing skills are coming in handy,” he wrote.
Robert’s mum Terri, sister Bindi, her husband Chandler Powell, and their daughter Grace recently moved to the US to support him on Dancing With The Stars.
