The courageous conservationist and her dance partner Derek Hough scored perfect 10s for the second week running, this time in a special Halloween-themed show.
Brushing the jealous online taunts aside, the brave 17-year-old was transformed into a sultry vampire with freaky fangs and eerie make-up and danced the perfect tango.
“Bindi needs to become this Evil Queen Vampiress,” said Derek before they went on stage to the tune of Cry Little Sister from the 1987 horror classic The Lost Boys.
But Bindi had no trouble channelling her inner-monster to wow the judges for the second straight performance.
“Never confuse kindness for weakness,” said the wildlife warrior, after revealing yet another side to her many talents.
Bindi is the surprise hit of the show and now firm favourite for the overall title.
She earned lavish praise from the media there after her emotional tribute to her late dad Steve Irwin when she broke down after performing to Police’s Every Breath You Take.
Bindi was just eight years old when Steve died in 2006, and she admitted she is still coming to terms with his death.
“It took a really long time to understand what actually happened,” she said with tears in her eyes.
“For the rest of my life, I’ll kind of feel like he’s going to come home.”
However, she said she feels like her conservationist dad never left her.
“His spirit lives on,” she said.
Although some fans are now calling Dancing With The Stars rigged – Derek’s sister Julianne is on the judging panel – Bindi continues to be unfazed by the online barbs.
Her profile in the U.S. has never been higher thanks to appearances on The Ellen Show, among many others.
Time magazine has also just named her as one of her world’s most influential teens.
