While J.R. Martinez won Dancing With the Stars, I think the biggest shocker is that Rob Kardashian was the runner up! Who woulda thunk?
The Iraq war veteran and his professional partner Karina Smirnoff and runners up Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke each received full marks from the judging panel for their final routine – a samba to Ricky Martin‘s ‘Shake your Bon Bon’ – last night (22.11.11) but Martinez took the title after winning the public vote, which counts for 50 per cent of the contestants’ total score.

Upon hearing the news, Martinez said: “First and foremost, I want to thank everybody who voted for us for 10 weeks. Thank you America for believing in us.”
He went on to pay tribute to Karina, who was experiencing her first victory on the ballroom show. The All My Children star said: “You are amazing, and I’m so grateful that I was able to be part of your first mirror ball trophy.”
Rob insisted he wasn’t disappointed not to win the competition. He said, “I’m super-thankful. I definitely am not sad. I won in my book.”
