After a season of nip slips, bitter jackass professional dancers, and a case of who let the mystery fart backstage; only one couple could come out on top. It was former Soldier, Actor, Motivational Speaker, and now Dancer J.R. Martinez and his partner Karina Smirnoff who beat out Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke AND Ricki Lake & Derek Hough (YES, That Derek Hough) to become the Dancing with the Stars Season 12 Champion.
This marks Two big firsts in Dancing with the Stars history. This is the first win for Karina Smirnoff, who nearly won in Season 3 with Mario Lopez, and has come very close several seasons afterward. This also marks the first time a Soap Star has won the show.
I thought it was a very enjoyable Finale, and the first I actually paid attention to, considering I only tune in to see who wins toward the end.
I enjoyed all the Eliminated couples coming back to dance, and really loved Carson Kressley's self-choreographed dance to Madonna's Vogue.
To me, the biggest suprise of the evening was that Ricki Lake and Derek Hough finished Third, thus marking another first (First Time Derek Hough hasn't won when sitting in the Finals).
After Monday night's Show, it was a very tight race with J.R. and Karina and Ricki and Derek tied at the Bottom, with Rob & Cheryl at the top.
The Scores shifted after the favorite performance portion of the evening, which saw Ricki & Derek claim the top spot from Rob & Cheryl.
After the instant dance round, our Top 2 JR and Karina, and Rob & Cheryl finished with a total of 112 and 113 points from the Judges, respectivly.
