Which Kardashian sibling finished runner-up on Dancing with the Stars in 2011?

The story behind the answer

Rob Kardashian finished runner-up on Dancing with the Stars in 2011.

He competed on the show’s thirteenth season, partnering with professional dancer Cheryl Burke. The pair reached the finale and finished in second place behind winner J. R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff.

Rob’s performance was notable because he entered the competition with less dance experience than some of the season’s contestants. His progress became a recurring storyline, and the judges regularly commented on his improvement and commitment during rehearsals and live performances.

The result is sometimes confused with Kim Kardashian’s appearance on Dancing with the Stars. Kim competed earlier, in the seventh season in 2008, with partner Mark Ballas and was eliminated during the third week. Rob’s 2011 season is the one that produced the Kardashian family’s runner-up finish.
