Here we are with the third part in a four part series taking a look at the four finalists continuing in the order of qualification we move on to JB and Lauren

Worst Routine

We have to go back to Week 2 when JB was still partnered with Amy for their lowest scoring routine. Their Cha Cha scored 27 points (7,7,6,7)

Best Routine

During last week’s Semi Final JB and Lauren had all four judges reaching for the 10 paddle following their Salsa (10,10,10,10)

Average Score

JB and Lauren/Amy have amassed a total of 450 points across 13 routines making for an average score of 34.6

Number of times in the dance off

JB has faced one dance off back when he was partnered with Amy. Their Jive landed them in the bottom two but it was enough to see off Paul and Karen (7,8,7,8)

Can they win?

JB seems to have experienced a resurgence since his change in partnership following Amy’s withdrawal. He’s gone from dance off and looking like a mid series exit to finalist since being partnered with Lauren. This isn’t said at any disrespect to Amy, I love Amy and she’s one of my favourite pros and all the times I’ve wished her well during her health issues have been genuine. They’ve polled well and were second in my poll asking who you want to win after the semi final. If anyone is going to stop the Chris and Dianne win maybe it is JB and Lauren…..

Final Routines

JB and Lauren’s Show Dance is to a Motown Medley. They will be reprising their Viennese Waltz to Let’s Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins from Musical’s Week. Last time out this scored 39 (9,10,10,10)

Finally they will be reperforming their Samba to Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes. This scored 37 (9,9,9,10)

Here we are with the second part in a four part series taking a look at the four finalists continuing in the order of qualification we move on to Chris and Dianne

Worst Routine

As it should be you have to go back to week 1 for their lowest scoring routine. Their Cha Cha scored 23 points with the judges (4,6,6,7)

Best Routine

Also as it should be their highest scoring routine came during last week’s Semi Final when the judges all awarded their Viennese Waltz one point off a maximum (9,9,9,9)

Average Score

Chris and Dianne have amassed a total of 406 points across 13 routines making for an average of 31.2. This is the lowest average of the four finalists

Number of times in the dance off

Chris and Dianne have never faced a dance off

Can they win?

Can they lose is the question. The bookmakers think it is a done deal. They’ve topped most of the polls I’ve run this series and after last week’s semi final just over 47% of you wanted them to lift the glitterball tonight. Whilst they may be the weakest couple on paper the best dancer doesn’t always win (especially if they keep getting beaten with the Dance Experience sledgehammer), they are insanely popular, Dianne has done wonders teaching someone who can’t see to dance, we’ve already had a deaf winner and chances are they will be crowned your champions in a few hours time

Final Routines

Chris and Dianne’s Show Dance is to You Get What You Give by New Radicals. They will also be reperforming their Couple’s Choice to Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon from week 8. Last time out this scored 33 (7,8,9,9)

Finally they will be reprising their Waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers from week 5. Last time out this scored 35 (8,9,9,9)

Apologies for the lateness of this but it’s been a pretty busy week for me. However ahead of tonight’s final we are going to take a look at the four finalists taking them in the order of qualification we begin with Sarah and Vito

Worst Routine

We have to go back to week 4 for their lowest scoring dance. Their Foxtrot scored 27 points with the judges (6,7,7,7)

Best Routine

During Blackpool Week (week 9) Sarah and Vito came one point short of a maximum with Craig denying them the perfect score for their couple’s choice (9,10,10,10)

Average Score

Sarah and Vito have amassed a total score of 447 points across 13 routines making for an average score of 34.4. This is the 3rd highest average of the four finalists though there isn’t much in it between second and third

Number of times in the dance off

Sarah and Vito are one of two finalists to have never faced a Dance Off

Can they win?

Vito is vying to be only the second pro in Strictly history to win back to back series. But can they derail the juggernaut that is one of the other finalists. They’ve been polling well (especially in recent weeks) and don’t seem to be attracting the same dance experience bullshit that some other finalists are being beaten to death with by some of the community

Final Routines

Sarah and Vito have a Show Dance to Cabaret by Metropole Orkest. They will also be performing their American Smooth to Proud by Heather Small from week 8. Last time out this scored 33 (8,8,8,9)

Finally they will be reperforming their Cha Cha to Like A Prayer by Madonna from week 7. Last time out this scored 37 (9,9,9,10).
