Over the past two months, Chenery has transformed in front of the nation from being the villain of The Bachelor NZ into one of the most-popular and graceful celebrities on the dance floor of the TV3 ratings hit.
Last Sunday, Chenery and Williams' smoking hot moves saw the duo secure the series' first perfect 10 scores from the judges.
And as she prepared for tonight's big dance, an upbeat Chenery said regardless of the final result she would leave the show a winner, having learned more about herself as well as winning over some of her critics from The Bachelor NZ.
"The journey I have had from both of these shows is looking at myself and how others perceive me," she said.
"It has helped me grow as a person immensely, it has shown what I like about myself and things I would like to change. The biggest thing is I have learned to love myself and you need to do that before you find love.
"I hope [viewers] have seen the change in me on this journey. I am about empowerment and by being lucky enough to be on both shows, I hope people see that I have reached deep inside for confidence."
She also hopes her self-confidence - which at times has been mistaken for arrogance - will rub off on everyday Kiwis.
"It is okay to put your hand up and say, 'Look at me, I can be good at this', even if you are insecure on the inside, as I was," she said.
Her favourite moments on Dancing with the Stars include receiving letters from young girls saying they were inspired to take up dancing.
