Quick Scoop

This is a light, entertainment topic (celebrity TV + fan voting), so the info below focuses on what fans in late 2025 were told to do for Robert Irwin and how DWTS voting usually works. Always double‑check on the night of the show in case the network changes anything for a new season or special episode.

How to vote for Robert Irwin

Here’s the general pattern viewers were given when Robert competed on Dancing with the Stars season 34 in 2025.

  • Text voting
    • Text the word ROBERT to the U.S. short code 21523 during the live voting window.
* Fans were allowed up to **10 votes per episode by text** for Robert’s team.
  • Online voting
    • Go to the official DWTS voting page, historically at dwtsvote.abc.com (sometimes shown on screen with a QR code).
* Log in or create an ABC/Disney account, then select Robert & Witney and click to allocate your votes (up to **10 votes online** per account in recent seasons).
  • Total votes per fan
    • In Robert’s 2025 run, fans could give him up to 20 votes per show : 10 via SMS + 10 via online voting.

In fan forum and blog discussions, supporters openly encouraged people to “do all 20” (10 text + 10 online) for Robert and Witney to maximize their chances each week.

Timing and location tips

Voting on DWTS is time‑limited and tied to the U.S. live broadcast.

  • When voting opens
    • Voting usually starts at 8 p.m. ET at the beginning of the episode and closes shortly after the final competitive dance finishes.
* For west coast viewers, recent guidance has reminded fans that voting may open earlier than the local TV airing, often around **5 p.m. PT** , so you may be voting before you actually see the episode on TV.
  • Where you have to be
    • Online and SMS voting are generally restricted to the United States and certain territories , with geo‑limits enforced on the website and short code.
* International fans often discuss workarounds in forums, but officially the show only supports voting from eligible regions.

Mini forum / trending context

Robert Irwin’s run on DWTS in 2025 became a big trending topic , especially because:

  • He danced with pro partner Witney Carson , with a lot of chatter about whether he’d match his sister Bindi Irwin’s previous mirrorball win.
  • Fan threads and YouTube breakdowns covered everything from his scores and shirt‑rip routines to wild online rumors, while repeatedly reminding viewers to “text ROBERT to 21523” and vote online.

In fan spaces, people debated whether the voting system is “fair” (east‑coast bias, live‑only windows, etc.), but almost everyone agreed that if you care about Robert staying, you should use every vote you’re allowed each week.
