To win any reality show is not easy and involves a long journey of steady commitment and effort. Bindi Irwin exemplified that entire statement by winning Season 21 of Dancing of the Stars.
Throughout the show, she has been a dedicated contender, growing as the show commenced. All the criticism she got was something she used for improvement, and praises only helped her to perform better. She has been one beacon of positivity who kept her thoughts clear and her aim constant. Bindi Irwin was one contestant who took the competition seriously and was keen to learn.
Doing her Homework and Being Prepared
The “Wildlife Warrior” took home the mirror ball trophy after winning Season 21 of the famous reality show. Irwin’s partner, Derek Hough, is all praises for his dancing companion. According to him, Bindi Irwin was one contestant who did her homework. She was never unprepared or unfocused. According to Derek, she should thank all the hard work she did and the way she focused all her efforts, every week.
Derek had nothing but praise for his partner. “I have never met somebody who did their homework more than she did. She’d come in every day prepared and ready to go and just gave me her absolute all, so much so that we literally don’t have anything left. After this week, my poor baby is broken—she’s bruised and broken. She’s incredible. It’s been an amazing, amazing journey,” said Derek.
Bindi did not deny the fact that she was exhausted, but the sweat and the effort was all worth it. Weeks of practice, patience, rehearsal, and trying proved fruitful in the end. “The only way I’d ever be able to describe it is to say it has been a gift. And this gift has been amazing because I’ve been able to share it with so many others as well. It’s been life-changing for me and I’ve had the support of my family and Derek and so many other people. I’m truly overwhelmed. I’m beyond grateful,” Bindi told the media. She was extremely thankful towards her partner Derek Hough and could not stop praising his efforts and commitment that brought them to the finale.
Flawless Teamwork and Consistent Commitment
Their impeccable teamwork and great understanding is something that made them win. She said that her main aim was to keep her dad’s legacy alive and convey his message throughout. “For us, we really want to make sure that dad’s legacy and message continues. He always used to say, ‘I don’t care if people remember me, but I care if people remember my message and what I stood for.’ That’s what we’ve dedicated our lives to doing and the three of us—dad first came up with the term ‘Wildlife Warrior’ and we are Wildlife Warriors. Derek has officially become a Wildlife Warrior now and we’re taking on the planet, and just doing everything we can to make a difference,” said Bindi while explaining her dad’s message.
On being asked if there is something that she will not miss about the show, she quickly replied, “Injuries.” The 17-year old conservationist is in pain and agrees that though all the experiences were pretty amazing, her feet are bruised and cut. She said that as happy as she is about winning, she is glad that now healing can begin, and she will hurt less.
