Martinez, Ricki Lake & Rob KardashianLOS ANGELES, Calif. -- On Monday during part 1 of the Dancing with the Stars finals, Rob Kardashian surprised competitors Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez by landing at the top of the leaderboard. So what can fans of the hit ABC reality competition expect from the last three contestants on the final night? Frontrunner Rob told Access Hollywoods guest correspondent Tim Vincent on Monday that hes going into the finals definitely more relaxed. The dance were doing is the foxtrot, which we got a 24 on in week three, he said. Definitely going to improve on that, and just come out there strong. Its definitely going to be a less stressful day, but theres still a lot of stress going into it. The Kardashian brother said hes not taking his lead for granted. Were in first, but still you never know with this competition. We dont want to jinx ourselves. We just want to have a good night of rehearsals and have a great day tomorrow, he continued. J.R., who tied with Ricki for second place on Monday, told Access hes still in the competition to win it. Weve still got a chance, he told Access. The perfect score [will] definitely put us right back in the ball game weve got to go back to work and hopefully get that favorite dance knocked out. Hopefully that will push us through. Despite tonights outcome, Ricki who has dramatically slimmed down during her time on DWTS is overjoyed with her experience on the show. Obviously we want to do well tomorrow. If we dont win, I really will be okay, she told Tim following Mondays show. I feel like Ive won thus far. Ive come further than I thought I would. I have a great career going next year, Im getting married. Adding, Life is good, but Im going to give it my all. On Tuesday, the pairs will have one more dance for the judges score and a winner will be crowned. DWTS airs at 9/8 C on ABC. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.
