There is no question who left the season 34 premiere of Dancing with the Stars a pronounced favorite.

It was Robert Irwin. Who along with Witney Carson, performed a dance that was designed to make a statement. And it worked.

Afterwards, social media was immediately declaring Robert Irwin the favorite…

WAIT ROBERT IRWIN ATE DOWNNNNNN

And afaik, he has zero dance experience??? He reminds me of Stephen Nedoroscik's energy but more contained.#DWTS #DWTS34 pic.twitter.com/qRPX6yY2Im
