How well I remember Bindi Irwin, a cute little Australian girl in the company of her famous dad Steve Irwin, the Crocodile hunter, as he wrestled crocodiles. I watched Bindi as she grew up and always had an interest in what she was doing, especially after tragic death of her father. Last night Bindi Irwin, with dance partner Derick Hough, won the coveted Mirrorball trophy becoming Dancing with the Stars season 21 champions. I felt so proud and happy for her. Does anyone remember the crocodile hunter TV shows? Do you watch Dancing with the stars?

To me, she is a very talented young lady and is so very much like her father.

@Freelanzer I think so too. I could sit and watch her dance all day.

We get this here but I never watch it. I think my BF watches this. I have never been so interested in shows like this.

@Freelanzer Sounds like fun. I didn't pay attention to this at all when my BF put it on the TV because a lot of stuff he watches I can't stand so I get up and leave.

In dancing with the stars, professional dancers and paired with celebrities so probably similar to the ones you saw

@Freelanzer Yes, it is that way indeed . A professional dancer and a celebrity , but it's our local version here .

I watched Crocodile Hunter with the kids I worked with. I remember his daughter but hadn't followed her life since the stingray killed her dad.

She's grown up following in her father's footsteps and yet she had carved her own niche in life

It wasn't until the latter period of his life that Australians decided that Steve Irwin was maybe okay. He was more popular overseas than in his home country - which is par for the course really. He was so full-on some regarded him as a bit of joke. It's great to see Bindi doing so well.

Isn't that always the way it is, many celebrities have to go outside their countries to get noticed and are not appreciated in their own country

there is a Philippine version of the dance contest, and I just love the children's moves on the dance floor. Not adult dancers but children.

I do not watch show, so all these are foreign to me. My family loves to watch shows, but they are not really following the career of a particular actor or actress.
