J.R. Martinez is an Iraq War veteran, motivational speaker and actor on ABC’s “All My Children.” He teams with Karina Smirnoff, who returns for her 10th season.

On last week’s “Dancing With the Stars,” J.R. Martinez was down. This week, he was outstanding.

He netted the season’s first perfect score not once but twice. His waltz and jive each got a flawless 30.

Judge Len Goodman delivered some swift justice to a lumbering Nancy Grace, telling her the clock has struck midnight on her Cinderella story and “it’s time to go home.”

Grace had the lowest total score by far at 44. The rest of the pack finished in the low 50s. Rob kept his Kardashian Kaboose under control and Hope Solo showed she can jive, a dance that made Ricki Lake look like dead weight.
