'Dancing With the Stars' Update: Bindi Irwin Got Another Perfect Score on 'Famous Dances Night'
Australian darling and TV presenter Bindi Irwin went home with a perfect score again on Monday's episode of "Dancing With the Stars."
It was the "Famous Dances Night," and Irwin and her partner, Derek Hough, danced to "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" ("Dirty Dancing"). The dance couple paid tribute to Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey's iconic dance routine, where Hough lifted Irwin, just like in the movie.
According to People, the famous movie's lead actress, Jennifer Grey, visited the contestants' practice and gave sound advice to Irwin. "The key is to trust," Grey said to Irwin.

After the two's performance, where they received a 40 out of 40, Irwin spoke to the magazine. She thanked Grey for giving "some great advice" to her and Hough. Irwin also admitted being nervous, since Grey's character in the movie "Baby" is so famous that she "wanted to do a good job." Overall, Irwin said that, "it was an amazing experience."
Two other couples received a perfect score from the judges. Andy Grammer and Allison Holker danced to "Singing in the Rain's" "Good Morning," and the judges found the duo's performance flawless. According to US Magazine, Bruno Tonioli said that Grammer got "balls" to dance to that music. Julianne Hough added that Grammer is "getting better and better and better" every week.
The other couple who got the perfect 40 score last night were Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy. The judges were wowed by the two's performance, who danced to Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation," even if Tamar was sick during the week.
Unfortunately, Paula Deen and her partner, Louis Van Amstel, failed to get a score high enough to stay in the competition. The two scored 24 out of 40, after dancing to Madonna's "Vogue."
