Rob Kardashian dances better than Kim

27th September 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Rob Kardashian has been deemed a "better dancer" than his sister Kim Kardashian.

The reality TV star impressed judges during Sunday night's show on the hit ABC programme Dancing with the Stars.

Rob performed the jive with his partner Cheryl Burke in the second week of the competition, which saw him gain rave reviews from the judging panel.

Rob is starring on the show three years after big sister Kim, who failed to wow with her lack-lustre dance moves. She finished in 11th place during the seventh season.

"It's official: Rob Kardashian is a better dancer than Kim Kardashian!" judge Carrie Ann Inaba declared after Rob and Cheryl's jive.

The pair scored a credible total of 21 out of 30.

Talk show host Ricki Lake and her professional partner Derek Hough topped the scoreboard this week earning 23 out of 30.

Ricki, who performed an up-tempo jive too, also revealed that she is slimming down thanks to her rigorous dancing regimen.

"He just wanted it to move! I think it did. I love it. I feel great. I'm really getting in great shape. I'll be wearing less and less clothing. The smaller I get, the less will be covered. I certainly am feeling better in my skin. I lost 12 inches now in three weeks. I still have a little ways to go but I'm really, really happy with the progress I made," she told reporters after the show.

"I'm sort of like delirious because it keeps going, this treadmill I'm on. It's every day and now we're onto the Rumba. It's so much fun. This is the time of my life. It's one of the hardest things my body has ever been through, physically. I'm really enjoying every minute of it."

Contestant Nancy Grace had an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during the show. She popped out of her dress at the end of her routine with partner Tristan MacManus.

The 51-year-old HLN host was initially horrified, and dropped her head into Tristan's shoulder. Host Tom Bergeron made light of the situation and quipped, "On the European version that would be perfectly fine!"

Luckily, the judging panel were able to see past the slip-up and praised the star for her impressive quickstep.

"How refreshing," Len Goodman said. "That was a proper quickstep. Well done!"

Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer landed bottom of the leaderboard this week, earning a 17 out of 30 for their quickstep.

Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas ended up in tied second place with J.R. Martinez and his professional partner Karina Smirnoff as both teams scored 22 out of 30.

Carson Kressley was awarded 18 out of 30. The Bravo star landed in a tie with David Arquette.

Ties were rife last night. Rob's score of 21 landed him in a four-way share of third place, as Elisabetta Canalis, Chynna Phillips and Nancy Grace each earned 21 out of 30.

Dancing with the Stars will lose one more contestant on Tuesday night. (C) Cover Media
