"Irwin, following in sister Bindi's footsteps on the show, got a perfect score for his first dance, a jive, and was one point short of repeating that feat in the second round with a Viennese waltz. That left him with an overall score of 59 points. Speaking to the press after the show, Irwin said he was a "wreck" when it was announced that he'd made it to final. Later on, he said he'd "never forget this experience"."
"Commenting on Irwin's jive, Efron, the younger brother of High School Musical star Zac, wrote on social media: "I watched twice and smiled so much my cheeks hurt." Efron himself scored 27 for a tango and 28 for his cha-cha-cha, totalling the lowest overall score of the night. Posting on his own profile after the show, he shared footage of himself and dance partner Daniella Karagach falling to the floor after learning they'd made it through."
Six celebrity contestants performed in a Prince-themed semi-final: Alix Earle, Whitney Leavitt, Jordan Chiles, Elaine Hendrix, Dylan Efron, and Robert Irwin competed for final spots. Whitney Leavitt and her partner Mark Ballas were eliminated despite a record of high scores. Robert Irwin earned a perfect score for his jive and scored 59 overall after a near-perfect Viennese waltz; he described himself as a "wreck" and said he would "never forget this experience." Dylan Efron scored lowest on the night but advanced, celebrating with partner Daniella Karagach after learning they'd made it through. The final will take place on Tuesday and feature three dances across a three-hour broadcast.
