Sadie Robertson: The Dancing With the Stars contestant to beat?

New judge Julianne Hough proclaimed the Duck Dynasty reality star as the total package, and for Sadie, a huge fan of Hough, it was a dream come true. "Oh my gosh, it was huge," she told us. Sadie received a 34—two 8s and two 9s—from the judging panel of Hough, Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, one of the highest scores.

"It was so much fun," she said. "I really let loose and had fun with it. I loved it."

Sadie placed second in total scores behind Fresh Prince star Alfonso Riberio. He scored and 36 and Back to the Future's Lea Thompson scored 32.

Sadie's dance made her father emotional. Willie Robertson also has approval over Sadie's outfits, as they must be modest enough or she's not going out on the dance floor. The young reality star and designer revealed her big Duck Dynasty family will be rotating in the audience. In fact, there's already a schedule in place.

"I really have to make it far or they'll all not make it," she said.
