Ricki Lake placed third and Rob Kardashian was runner-up …

On night-two of season thirteen’s Dancing with the Stars finale, the three remaining celebrity competitors and their pro partners had one last opportunity to impress the judges with their musicality.

Monday night Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez and Rob Kardashian performed two routines. The 24-year-old reality star and his pro partner Cheryl Burke beat out the talk show host and the war hero–performance videos and leaderboard scores.

Going into Tuesday night the Vegas oddsmakers were predicting that Martinez and his partner Karina Smirnoff would take home the coveted mirrorball trophy.

After all three couples performed their favorite dance of the season, Ricki and Derek were eliminated based on a combination of judges scores from Monday and Tuesday plus viewer vote totals.

Going head to head in the championship round, J.R. and Rob hit the dance floor for the Instant Samba round, performed to the song Shake Your Bon-Bon by Ricky Martin. Martinez and Kardashian received perfect 30 scores from the judges.

Based on a final tabulation, J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff won the championship.
