Famous for being the only boy in a family of famous sisters, Rob Kardashian has stepped out of his sisters' shadows while competing on "Dancing With the Stars" and joining actress and talk show host Ricki Lake and veteran and actor J.R. Martinez in the finals.
Kardashian and his partner Cheryl Burke finished the first night of the finals at the top of he leaderboard earning 27 points for his Viennese Waltz and his first perfect score of the season earning 30 points for his freestyle.
Lake and partner Derek Hough found themselves tied with Martinez and Karina Smirnoff for second place with 54 points each.
Lake earned 27 points each for her freestyle and Cha Cha Cha and while both were technically goo they seemed to lack intensity and performance value that are worthy of the finals.
Martinez, who has been my favorite since week 1, did not impress with his Cha Cha Cha, which earned him 24 points from the judges. He lost the beat several times and seemed to struggle throughout the routine. He did however redeem himself with the freestyle blending musicality, technique, lifts and entertainment value to present a perfect performance.
This is the first season where I haven't been able to call a winner. As much As I want Martinez to take the mirror ball trophy, all three are worthy to take the title.
