Dancing With the Stars: Finale & Results Show Photos

1 of 37

Dancing With the StarsDancing With the Stars crowned its Season 13 champion, J.R. Martinez, after 4 arduous dances spread over two nights. We saw some stellar performances throughout the finale and we’ve got the official finale photos for your enjoyment.

On Monday night’s show, J.R. and Ricki performed a cha cha, while Rob Kardashian performed a waltz. J.R. scored the lowest of the three. Then each couple performed their freestyle. This is where Dancing With the Stars is usually won, and where Derek usually runs off with the trophy whenever he’s in the finals. But not this time. J.R. redeemed himself with the best freestyle of the night, although he received the same score as Rob. If you watched Rob’s freestyle, you might have felt as frightened as me. He was getting so into spinning around while holding Cheryl in the air I thought he would stumble and drop her. Thankfully he didn’t.

Tuesday night was the “season favorite” dances. Ricki chose her week 4 Pyscho Tango, Rob chose his week 4 foxtrot and J.R. chose his jive from week 2. Now this had his fans concerned. That jive had been severely panned in week 2 because of the lifts which were done too early in the season and because of its lindy moves. J.R. and Karina removed those pesky elements and they ranked 2nd in the season favorites. At this point host Tom Bergeron announced that Ricki and Derek were eliminated. That left J.R. and Rob to compete against each other in an Instant Samba. They both did their pieces of it expertly. Then it was time to once again factor in viewer votes to determine the Dancing With the Stars Season 13 winner. And well, you know the rest.
