But that doesn’t mean Danielle thinks winning the Mirrorball Trophy will be a walk in the park. After all, she’s “very, very nervous” about her competition.
“I do not mean any disrespect to other seasons,” she quipped, “but I do not remember ever watching a for a premiere episode of Dancing with the Stars and being like, ‘Oh, so just every person’s better than the next person.'”
Danielle jokingly added that Robert Irwin is her main competitor since she and Pasha have been “tucked away” in a different part of the studio every time he performs with his pro partner Witney Carson.
“I still don’t know how great it is,” she said of the animal conservationist’s routine, which earned him a whopping 15/20 score, “but I’m going to go home and watch it.”
