TV Roundup: Who Will Win 'Dancing With the Stars?'


Tonight's Dancing With the Stars finale will feature a showdown between underdog Rob Kardashian, dancing diva Ricki Lake, and emotional favorite JR Martinez. The dancing trio will perform four dances: an unlearned dance, their favorite dance, the instant samba, and the freestyle. Who will take home the coveted Mirror Ball trophy on Tuesday night? Let's handicap the contestants.

Why He'll Win: Rob Kardashian is undoubtedly the most improved contestant. He has shown growth every week and has become more and more likable over the course of the season.

Why He Won't Win: He's the only finalist that has never scored a perfect 30. It's hard to imagine Rob beating out Ricki and JR, who looked like favorites from the very beginning.

Secret Weapon: His booty shaking. He is a Kardashian after all.

Ricki Lake

Why She'll Win: Ricki Lake has been the most consistent contestant and she's also spent the most time at the top of the leader board.

Why She Won't Win: That consistency may be her downfall since the finale audience may be looking for a bit more wow from Ricki. She's had a fantastic season but she might not have enough pizzazz for the final push to win the Mirror Ball.

Secret Weapon: Her partner Derek Hough, who has won three times before and is definitely the best choreographer left in the competition.

JR Martinez

Why He'll Win: He's charming, talented, and he's got a great backstory (he suffered burns to 40% of his body after his Humvee hit a landmine in Iraq). He's also scored several perfect 30s with partner Karina Smirnoff. The smart money is definitely on JR Martinez.

Why He Won't Win: Martinez could falter if his twisted ankle is still bothering him. It would be a shame after such a great season, but sometimes injuries can't be helped.

Secret Weapon: His tragic backstory. Martinez has brought the DWTS audience to tears before and if he can do it again, the Mirror Ball trophy will definitely be his.
