Round Ten: Final Results Dancing with the Stars : Season 13 Episode 23

The show opens with lengthy intros of our three finalists: Ricki Lake, Rob Kardashian and J.R. Martinez. A large dance number featuring all of the season's voted-off start follows. Tom and Brooke introduce the three finalists. Again. And Tom tell us that the winner will be decided by combining the scores from last night, with two dances from tonight and the viewer voting. Rob is in the lead right now followed by J.R. and Ricki who are tied in second.

We see a vignette of last night's competition with some off-camera audio.

Lady Antebellum performs.

Tom tells us the three couples are each going to perform a dance from earlier in the season. This will help determine which two will make it to the final dance.

We see Ricki and Derek discussing which dance they want to pick. Ultimately they go back to the second tango, which earned her a 29 the first time around. The performance seems to go well based on the crowd's (and Tom's) reaction. Len loved it the second time around. Bruno calls is a "grand cinematic extravaganza." Carrie Ann thought it was "beyond perfect."

Rob and Cheryl end up deciding the foxtrot is their best option, particularly because it was dedicated to Rob's father the first time. Cheryl tells Rob how proud of him she is. The reaction to the foxtrot is also positive. Bruno talks about how much Rob has improved "beyond expectations." Carrie Ann calls it elegant and Len says Rob might have the best footwork of anybody he's seen on the show.

We watch J.R. and Karina decide that the jive was their favorite, even though it earned a 22. They work to remove a lift for which they were penalized the first time around. Carrie Ann mentions J.R. having a "rough time" during the performance and says she missed the lift (zing!). Len talks about the band and Bruno stands up and bangs on the table for some reason.

Tom reminds us of the rules and kicks it to Brooke who interviews the finalists. Ricki says she did the best she could do tonight. Rob admits to never thinking he'd still be around at this point. J.R. is confident in their choice of dance.

Score time: In third place with 26 points is Rob & Cheryl. J.R. & Karina finish second with 28 points, meaning Ricki & Derek win round 3 with a perfect score of 30. The updated overall scores have Ricki & Derek in first with 84 points, followed by Rob & Cheryl (83) and J.R. & Karina (82).

The judges' scores are combined with audience votes and we find out who finishes in third and will miss out on dancing in the final. The couple in third is . . . Ricki & Derek. The crowd groans and they speak with Brooke. Ricki says she loved "every minute of this." We see a vignette of her entire season.

The finalists are reintroduced to us for the 15th time, with judges talking about each dancer and his strengths.

Brooke reveals that the finalists will be dancing their Instant Samba to Ricky Martin's "Shake Your Bon-Bon." J.R. and Karina will dance first. We see a full season-wrap vignette as the finalists prepare for the dance.

We begin taking a look back at the dancers from throughout the season. Ron Artest (er-Metta World Peace) and Peta dance, followed by Elisabetta Canalis and Valentin.

After the break we see Kristin Cavallari and Mark, followed by Chynna Phillips and Tony.

Following another break we check-in with J.R. and Karina who are practicing backstage. And sweating.

Carson Phillips dances to "Vogue" with a half dozen different dancers.

We flashback to the movie episode, followed by a dance from Nancy Grace and Tristan.

Brooke checks-in backstage with Rob and Cheryl. They both sound confident.

Chaz Bono, Lacey, and Lacey's father perform a dance routine. Afterwards Tom noted that Chaz has stuck around the set even after being voted off. Next we see David Arquette, Kym and the show's dance troupe perform.

Lady Antebellum sing again, followed by another vignette. Hope Solo and Maksim dance.

Finally J.R. & Karina take the stage for their Instant Samba. They leave and Rob & Cheryl follow them for the rest of the song. Rob and J.R. give each other a hug after the dance. Len gives both couples a standing ovation. Bruno said J.R. was "full-out party time" and mentions Rob has "learned how to use his bon-bon." Carrie Ann thinks both men were winners.

Tom speaks with a few of the stars from the season sitting in the crowd. Brooke asks the finalists what they'll miss from the season.

Time for scores: J.R. & Karina get a 10 from all three judges, giving them a score of 112 for all four rounds. Rob & Cheryl also get a 30, meaning they have a 113 for four rounds. The viewer votes are pretty much going to decide this thing.

Three months of dancing comes down to this, the announcement of our champion: The winners are . . . J.R. & Karina! J.R. is happy he was able to get Karina her first win on DWTS. Rob and Cheryl say they will be friends forever.
