J.R. Martinez Wins 'Dancing With The Stars'

By Michael Lopez

We had a feeling Salvadorian-American hot footer J.R. Martinez was going to take down the Dancing With The Stars' trophy this year. And, much to the delight of everyone in the ballroom, that's exactly what he did.

Tuesday night's dance-off proved to be quite the heated battle. Both Ricki Lake and Rob Kardashian turned into some pretty tough competitors during the 11th hour. Ricki got rave reviews for her colorful tango and Rob channeled his retro side for an inspired foxtrot number. But once J.R. busted out his signature moves, America knew who their next champ would be.

"Thank you America, for believing in us," Martinez enthusiastically said after he learned of his victory.

J.R. made sure to heap tons of praise on his dance partner Karina Smirnoff and appeared quite emotional when his name was revealed.

Though all eyes were on Martinez throughout the night, DWTS still delivered one heck of a finale. Every eliminated celeb got a chance to strut their stuff again and Lady Antebellum performed two live songs off their latest album.

Congratulations J.R.!
