Sadie Robertson says that when she and Mark Ballas get a favorable reaction from the Dancing With the Stars judges for dances such as the Adam and Eve one last Monday, “it’s the best feeling ever.”
The pair earned a 38 out of 40 score, and rave reviews from all four judges.
“I love your creativity, I love your passion, I love your commitment to this show,” judge Len Goodman said. “Well done.”
“I absolutely loved it,” added judge Julianne Hough. “There was a maturity we haven’t seen from you,” she told Sadie.
“Conflict, struggle, temptation--you portrayed all of this with such a level of maturity,” judge Bruno Tonioli told Sadie. “The detail in the choreography, and the difficulty that he threw at you, it was just amazing how you did it.”
“You nailed it,” judge Carrie Ann Inaba concluded.
“That’s amazing, because we put in a lot of work ... we put in 7 hours a day just to do a minute-and-a-half dance, so to get the response like that it’s the best feeling ever,” Sadie told KTLA.
However, Sadie and Mark have notably gotten some negative reviews for some of their other dances.
“But whenever they don’t like it--like the Halloween one--it’s crushing,” Sadie added.
