Dubbing themselves “Team IrWINit,” Robert and Witney quickly proved they were ready to rumble\u2014er, more like rumba\u2014and were among those to receive the highest scores from judges Derek Hough<\/strong><\/a>, Carrie Ann Inaba<\/strong><\/a> and Bruno Tonioli<\/strong><\/a> during the first two weeks.<\/p>\n “All of my confidence comes from Witney,” the 21-year-old acknowledged. “It comes from leaning on the experience that we have in rehearsals, trusting your body, trusting the process, trusting your partner. This whole thing is the ultimate trust fall. You just gotta give yourself to it. I\u2019ve never done anything like this, but I\u2019ve got the best ever to guide me through this process. So I\u2019m just like full trust, all in, send it. I don\u2019t even care. I\u2019m just going to give it every ounce of what I\u2019ve got and hope for the best.”<\/p>\n Even when they\u2019ve slipped down in the standings, they haven\u2019t wanted to bow out.<\/p>\n “We\u2019ve started at the top of the leader board. We\u2019ve come down to third place,” Robert said during Disney night Oct. 7, “so it\u2019s a reminder to step up.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
