LOS ANGELES — Actor J. R. Martinez scored a come-from-behind victory over Rob Kardashian Tuesday to win the 13th edition of ABC's hit competition "Dancing With the Stars."
The Iraq war veteran hoisted the mirrorball trophy with his professional partner, Karina Smirnoff.
Host Tom Bergeron called Martinez an inspiration to the audience.
The all-male finale was set up halfway through the final show when talk show host Ricki Lake was voted off, finishing third. Judges' scores combined with viewer votes determined the winner.
Judges didn't provide much extra guidance during the final competition, a samba that the dancers had to perform with little preparation time. The three judges gave both teams perfect 30 scores for their final dances.
