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)

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)
