Talk about being rendered speechless, this Freestyle was INCREDIBLE!!

Emoting, beautiful choreography by (the one and only) Derek, that had been so exquisitely danced by the stupendous, endearing performer that is Bindi, effectively stunned its audience into an emotional silence, and was equally the cause of enthusiastic cheers, applause, and a well-deserved standing ovation!

And what about those AMAZING Lifts and Dismounts?!!  Even I, having breathlessly watched them myself, can scarcely believe how well and seemingly-effortlessly they were executed!!

Oh!  And don’t even <Sniff, Sob!> get me started on the surprise picture of Steve Irwin receiving a loving kiss from a young Bindi showing up in the end!

<Blubbering> I mean, to not even tell Bindi that that was coming up before hand?!

 <Full-bore wailing now> Honestly, Hough, I told you how we all feel about seeing Bubbly Bindi Bawl, right?!

“Okay, first of all, that was brilliant,” sounded off an elated Carrie Ann Inaba, when opening the Judges critiques, “and that was a Dancer’s Freestyle … what you do [is] you do each moment to its fullest potential, [and] you do each dance to its fullest potential, and I am grateful for you!”

“… This has been, probably the best Finale I think we’ve ever had, and everybody is, like, on top of their game tonight … but, I think the difference is, with you Bindi,” added Julianne Hough, “you’re so special … it was beautiful, it was <searching for appropriate word> extraordinary! …”

“Extraordinary”, yes that just about covers it!!

Following the approving comments from the Judges Panel, the immaculate Team of Bindi & Derek were duly rewarded for their hard-earned efforts, receiving yet another perfect scoring of all 10’s!
