JR Martinez, Iraq war veteran and daytime TV actor and his partner Karina Smirnoff were the winners!
I didn’t know who JR was before he came on the show, but his story definitely touched me. As the season went on, I didn’t watch very often, but I was always glad to hear that JR was still there and was a front-runner. He seems like such a happy person, and I think he truly loved dancing.
Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke came in second.
If you’ll remember back to my post right after they announced this season’s contestants, I said that I couldn’t believe Rob even agreed to do the show. I didn’t think he’d last more than a week or two. Boy, did he prove me wrong! He seemed to mature so much during the show, and he’s actually a pretty good dancer! I am really proud of him!
The final show was pretty great! I always love seeing contestants who were kicked off come back to dance one last time. I also enjoy watching the behind the scenes and clips from rehearsals. The best line of the night came from Carson Kressley: “I finally get to dance with a Chmerkovskiy. Check that off my bucket list”. I have to say, dancing with a Chmerkovskiy would be pretty much amazing!
What shows did you watch this week? Link up with Neely and me!
Rob did such a good job in the finale — I definitely had a dance-crush on him! =)

I didn’t watch the show, but saw them on GMA the next day! Looked like a good season!
I didn’t know JR either before DWTS. I’m glad he won.
