Rob Kardashian is proving the Dancing With the Stars doubters wrong.
He got a bad rap at the beginning of the season for being aloof and just doing the show because mom Kris Jenner made him. But he has improved dramatically.
Kicking off Monday night's episode with an awesome quickstep, Rob proved he's a dark horse in the competition, an under-the-radar but serious contender.

Rob scored a 24 on his second, instant jive dance. Watch it below:
