Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Finalists – Tasha and Aljaz

Here we are with the final part in a four part series taking a look at the four finalists continuing in the order of qualification we move on to Tasha and Aljaz

Worst Routine

All the way back in week one Tasha and Aljaz scored a mere(!) 30 points for their Cha Cha (8,8,7,7)

Best Routine

Tasha and Aljaz have had the judges all reaching for their 10 paddles on two occasions. The first was during week 10 when their American Smooth had Craig dust the cobwebs off his 10 paddle (10,10,10,10)

Then again during last week’s semi final she wowed the judges with her Waltz (10,10,10,10)

Average Score

Tasha and Aljaz have amassed a total of 477 points across 13 routines making for an average score of 36.7. This is the highest average score of all the finalists

Number of times in the dance off

Tasha and Aljaz have survived two dance offs on route to the final. The first came during the quarter final when their Argentine Tango saw off Montell and Johannes (9,10,9,10)

Their second came during last week’s Semi Final. This time their Waltz (above) easily dispensed with Pete and Jowita (10,10,10,10)

Can they win?

Tasha and Aljaz are the best dancers left in on paper. Also like favourite’s to win Chris and Dianne and previous winner Rose, Tasha has a disability in the form of deafness. Unfortunately it’s a tough ask for someone who has been in two dance offs from a strong positition on the judges leaderboard to experience such a swing in public vote. Tasha is also getting beaten with the dance experience BS that someone tends to get beaten with every series even though that dance experience may be in different fields to Ballroom and Latin. The dance experience sledgehammer also doesn’t seem to get applied consistently and sometimes can be used as an excuse to bash a couple. But I digress, the question is can they win and the answer is probably not.

Final Routines

Tasha and Aljaz have a Show Dance to Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman. They are reprising their Couple’s Choice to What About Us by P!nk. Last time out this scored 39 (9,10,10,10)

Finally they will be reperforming their American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi. As covered above last time out this achieved a perfect score (10,10,10,10)
