J.R. Martinez may not have out-shaken his bon-bon next to Rob Kardashian's plentiful derriere, but the Iraq war veteran and actor capped off a solid season on the dance floor with a victory that will likely make his just as much of a household name.
Make no mistake about it, the dance floor belonged to the troops on Tuesday night's emotional, surprising season 13 finale of "Dancing With the Stars."
"First and foremost, I want to thank the viewers who voted for us for 10 weeks," a glowing Martinez said shortly after being announced winner.
"Thank you, America, for believing in us," he continued before turning to thank his partner, dancer Karina Smirnoff. "You are amazing, and I'm so glad I could be a part of your first mirror ball."
"You are such a catalyst for joy," judge Carrie Ann Inaba remarked.
This is the first first-place finish for recently engaged Smirnoff, who put off her wedding plans earlier this year to focus on the dancing competition.
