Dubbing themselves “Team IrWINit,” Robert and Witney quickly proved they were ready to rumble – er, more like rumba – and were among those who received the highest marks from the judges. Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba And Bruno Tonioli during the first two weeks.
“All my confidence comes from Witney,” admitted the 21-year-old. “It comes from relying on the experience we have in rehearsals, trusting your body, trusting the process, trusting your partner. All of that is the ultimate downfall of trust. I hope for the best.”
Even when they fell in the rankings, they did not want to bow out.
“We started at the top of the leaderboard. We went down to third place,” Robert said at the Oct. 7 Disney party, “so it’s a reminder to step up.”
