How Does J.R. Martinez Rank Among Past Dancing With the Stars Champions?
ABC/ADAM TAYLOR
Dancing With the Stars' newest champion didn't even need to hoist the mirror-ball to be deemed a winner.
It's a fluke that J.R. Martinez, a former U.S. Army infantryman, is even alive today after 40 percent of his body was severely burned in a landmine explosion while he was serving in Iraq in 2003. But what he's done since—get back into fighting shape, travel the country as a motivational speaker and land a role on All My Children—has been the stuff of fairytales.
Let's just say that J.R. is No. 1 when it comes to deserving that win last night. Even better, he was a really good dancer. But...he wasn't the best, technically.
So, we've taken the liberty of ranking the DWTS champions through the years to see where J.R.'s twinkle toes stack up:

He did the bizarro, fear-inducing crime. Now he's gonna do the time—five whole years of it.
The Florida man convicted of stalking the nation's preeminent twinkle-toed Olympic gymnast, Shawn Johnson, was sentenced to a maximum half decade in a mental hospital—not state prison—today.
And…cue the relieved round of celebratory backflips.
Shawn Johnson Says Dancing Kept Her Sane During Stalking Ordeal
Who says reality shows don't help better society?
Certainly not Shawn Johnson, who actually credits her championship participation in Dancing With the Stars for helping her get her through her terrifying stalking ordeal.

Prosecutors nailed the landing on this one.
The 36-year-old Florida man who showed up at Dancing With the Stars with a gun and other creepy stuff in his car, hoping to get close to Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, was convicted Friday of felony stalking and commercial burglary.
"Very Scared" Shawn Johnson Stares Down Alleged Stalker
ABC/KELSEY MCNEAL
"To see that somebody had that much obsession, it made me really scared."
So said Shawn Johnson this morning in a Los Angeles courtroom, as the gold medalist took the stand against the man accused of stalking her during her disco ball-winning run on ABC's Dancing With the Stars.
The 18-year-old Johnson, voice quivering at times, recounted her reaction upon hearing that 36-year-old Robert O'Ryan was caught sneaking onto the CBS lot last spring where DWTS tapes, allegedly packing a so-called kidnapping kit including two guns, a knife, duct tape, zip ties and love letters in which their last names were hyphenated.
The news chilled her.
Shawn Johnson's Accused Stalker: I'm Crazy
ABC/Kelsey McNeal
Shawn Johnson isn't doing backflips—at least not yet.
The Florida man accused of stalking the Olympic gold medalist while she was making her disco ball-winning run on ABC's Dancing With the Stars last spring has pleaded not guilty plea by reason of insanity.
Robert O'Ryan entered his plea as his nonjury trial got rolling today in Los Angeles. The 36-year-old faces one count of felony stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded firearm after he was nabbed hopping a fence outside the DWTS studio lot in March 2009 in an bid to get up close and way too personal with Johnson.
EXCLUSIVE!
DWTS Champion Helio Castroneves Also Has a Broken Ball
ABC/Carol Kaelson
The producers of Dancing With the Stars need to start paying more attention to their balls—disco balls, that is.
As we exclusively revealed last year in our very hard-hitting investigative reporting (natch), the champion disco ball trophies aren't exactly high quality. Cheryl Burke and Shawn Johnson were the first to admit their trophies had to be repaired after they began to fall apart.
Now, season five's cha-cha champ, race-car driver Helio Castroneves, has come forward with a similar story...
