Getting Family Support

Insiders told The U.S. Sun that Robert and his family are “already planning” his win. They will bring the Mirrorball Trophy back to the Australia zoo, where he works. The family already has an area that displays Bindi Irwin’s Mirrorball Trophy from Season 21, as well as one of her iconic dresses.

There’s also a dedicated gallery from her time on the dance competition. Dancing runs well in this family’s veins. Her brother could follow in his footsteps. One source told the outlet that they’re already talking about what could happen if Robert wins.

“The Australia zoo has already been in talks with DWTS to find out, logistically, when they might expect the Mirrorball Trophy. And have asked if any other props or costumes can be included to be displayed at the zoo,” the source said.

Winning America’s Hearts

Fans have fallen in love with his wholesomeness and positivity. He has maintained a good spirit throughout the season, even when he faced challenges and pitfalls. Robert never let that get him down.

On The Road To the Finales

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt was eliminated during Tuesday’s live show. Five other dancers remain: Alix Earle, Dylan Efron, Jordan Chiles, Elaine Hendrix, and Robert.
