Here we go with the first part in my series where I’ll be taking a look at each of the finalists and their Strictly journeys so far. I will be taking them in the order of qualification which means we begin with Ellie and Vito
Worst Routine
We have to go back to week four to find their lowest scoring routine. Their Samba scored just 28 points (7,7,7,7)
Best Routine
Ellie and Vito have fallen one point shy of a maximum on two occasions. The first was during week 7 when their American Smooth was held out from the top score by Craig (9,10,10,10). This routine is being reprieved during the final as their favourite dance
Then two weeks later they were denied a perfect score at Blackpool for their Charleston with Craig again being the hold out (9,10,10,10)
Average Score
Ellie and Vito have amassed a grand total of 458 points across 13 routines making for an average score of 35.2. This is the second highest average score of the finalists
Number of times in the dance off
Ellie and Vito are the only finalists to have never found themselves in the dance off
Can they win?
At this point in time the better question seems to be “can they lose”. Ellie and Vito have been insanely popular throughout this series. They’ve topped most of the polls I have run and by a considerable margin. At the time of writing over half of you want them to take the glitterball based on the poll I ran after the semi final with their nearest competitors languishing some 40% behind them in the poll. They are also odds on favourites with the bookies and have been for some weeks and some bookies have even closed the book. Only one other couple seemed to fill the “journey” criteria and they were eliminated last week.
All of this means it is very hard to see anything besides Ellie and Vito lifting the glitterball!
Do you agree? Will you be supporting Ellie and Vito? You can let me know your thoughts over on Facebook, X, Instagram and Threads. All this series I’ve been running a competition where you can take the prize for that week or hand it back for a place in the final to be held before the end of the year where one of you will be winning a £500 voucher. But for the final weekend there are no more vouchers to be won and no more decisions to be made. But three of you who get involved in the discussion this weekend will be joining the other finalists to potentially win a £500 amazon voucher. Full competition details can be found here!
Don’t forget there is the festive spoiler. I promise not to tell Santa you’ve peeked!
