Despite finishing second to J.R. Martinez on Tuesday's 13th season finale of Dancing with the Stars, Rob Kardashian was a winner in spirit following a season which saw him transition from a guy with two left feet to a lean, mean freestylin’ machine every time he graced the dance-floor.
Had the season lasted another week, the result might have been different, as the 24-year-old member of the reality TV dynasty surged as the season wound down, streaking to the finish line with his personal best score -- an impressive 57 out of 60 possible points -- coming on Monday’s show.
Following the performance, Head judge Len Goodman told Rob his “family should be proud" of his efforts this season on the episode, and they sure were despite the second-place finish.

While Rob or his "momager" Kris Jenner did not tweet following the show, his sisters lit up the social networking microblog with praise for their younger brother's progression throughout the grueling season.

I'm so glad he didn't win! It would have been another notch in the belt of that famewhorish family for them to gloat and gloat over, as they already did above. The right person won - a REAL HERO to America!

JR & Karina won in spite of the cheating Kardashians! Hahahahahaha. That's the best finish ever. May the best man win. Oops, he did. :)

All the vote manipulating and tampering by Rob's ugly sisters & mommy could not get his a** to the top spot to take the trophy. Too bad so sad, Rob. You would not even have made it to 2nd place w/o the fake votes from your awful family.

this is the only thing this man has ever done and he will never know if he earned even 2nd because his sisters duped their fans into voting for him. They stole his moment and he will always wonder if he should have been final 2

I am no fan of the Kardashian girls but I do think that Rob got himself to the finals! He got to be a dancer I enjoyed watching. Despite Kims attempt to cheat for him, he did it on his own! Way to go Rob!

Hard to say where he really placed and he will never know because his sisters did cheat for him. They think that he will be the one to make America like them again, why I don't know but thats the buzz. He may have gone before Arquette

youhave to wonder if the siblings aren't sick of KK and KJ. Do the paps or interviewers every talk to any of them without it coming back to Kim. No normal sibling can't ignore the favortism by mom and being overshadowed daily by kim.

I don't see how the judges were surprised, there was vote tampering by the KKK. Rob will never know if he earned even 2nd. Where this guy will end up; who knows. He is not financially feasible to Kris J. Someone yelled is kim ur goodluck charm.

I don't dislike Rob, he is exactly what he is due to his mom and sisters. The males in that family don't seem very relevent and it was nothing for Kris J to pull a few strings and get him on the show. I agree give his his due. His success temp.

in honor of Rob's success, let us all remember the lovely video that made this wholesome all-american family's fame possible. Kim's sextape with Ray J where she is urinated on is playing for free over at eyeballson.com/nudgalleryentrance.htm
