"Dancing with the Stars" contestant Sadie Robertson and her partner, Mark Ballas wowed the judges with their foxtrot performance on Monday night. 

Robertson and Ballas were joined by dancing pro Emma Slater, and their performance earned them their first perfect score. 

"DWTS" judge Len Goodman gave the trio high praises.

"That is the best trios of the night!" he said. "You did it. I wish I had an 11 paddle." 

Julianne Hough said that Robertson executed the dance perfectly, and Bruno Tonioli said that he "couldn't tell who was the professional." Robertson thanked the Lord for enabling her to perform well.

"Wow just truly blessed to be in the position I am and thankful to God for it all," she wrote on Instagram.

"May all the glory go to him. I'm so thankful to have all of the wonderful fans who have gotten me to this point has well. Each one of you is needed to take us farther. We are so grateful and love you all."

Robertson and Ballas also thrilled the judges with their Adam and Eve-inspired performance last week. 

The pair dressed as the biblical figures Adam and Eve, and danced to Alanis Morissette's Grammy Award-winning song "Uninvited."

During rehearsal, the "Duck Dynasty" star said she was delighted to portray Eve.

"We are doing an Adam and Eve dance, and I think it is really cool," Robertson admitted, adding that she felt "a lot of pressure to make it right" because of the biblical context.

"It is such an iconic story, and I am excited," Ballas added

Actress Lea Thompson and her partner, Artem Chigvintsev, were eliminated last night, and only five couples remain in competition: actor and comedian Tommy Chong, YouTube star Bethany Mota, former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Alfonso Ribeiro, actress Janel Parrish, and Sadie Robertson.

Week 10 of "Dancing with the Stars" will air Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
