Video: Dancing with the Stars Judge: Rob Is the Best Kardashian!
Rob Kardashian is having his moment!
On Monday night's Dancing with the Stars, Kim Kardashian's 24-year-old brother wowed the judges with his and Cheryl Burke's jive routine. "It's official," Carrie Ann Inaba said. "Rob Kardashian is a better dancer than Kim Kardashian!" (Kim, 30, was the third contestant to be eliminated during DWTS' seventh season.)

"No disrespect to Kim," Inaba, 43, continued. "But you have the dancing gene, honey. It's nice to see your confidence coming out."
Bruno Tonioli agreed, telling the reality star he'd started "to blossom," while Len Goodman praised Rob for his "great improvement" since last week's premiere.

Despite having such a famous family, Rob struggles with having all eyes on him. "I'm scared as hell," he admitted during rehearsal for the ABC show. "The jive is pretty hard for me because I don't feel great about myself at all. To be in front of a bunch of people knowing like I'm insecure with my weight, and I say I have man boobs jokingly, but it's true… [Being surrounded by] all these dancers who are in great shape, it's just hard to be around and [then] put yourself out there like that."

But Rob and Burke, 27, received a 7 out of 10 from each judge, giving them a total of 21 out of 30 points. Fellow contestants Elisabetta Canalis, Chynna Phillips and Nancy Grace received the same total scores as Rob.
Chaz Bono had the lowest score of the evening, earning only 17 out of 30 points. Despite an injured knee, the 42-year-old author-activist smiled through his and Lacey Schwimmer's quickstep routine. "[But] your charm [only] takes you so far," Inaba told him.

Tell Us: Who should be sent home on Tuesday's DWTS?
Tell Us What You Think
7It was a tough choice of who would win DWTS on Tuesday night but J.R.was great as also was Rob K., after so much to overcome he really did come out a great person and a good dancer ever the head judge said that Rob had the best footwork of anyone ever on the show and he does not give out great views like that often or maybe never. I enjoyed how much each week that Rob just keep getting better and better. Do hope now that he will have the confidence he needs to go further in whatever he wants to do. Go Rob.
everyone needs to take chill pill, Kudos to Chaz for doing this in the first place, yes,he's not the best dancer but I give him credit for doing his best knowing the competition would be fierce. You go Chaz!
Does not take much....Yes Chaz will be heading home tonight.
Someone needs to get those judges glasses. Its time for chaz to go.
Chaz , will b going i think
He actually did great.
he did so good, so proud of him and the rest of the dancers and the rest of the cast b/c they blew me away!! such a tough competition!!
