Given the huge success of the social features of this site this year I thought I would open them up one more time for the Final.
The final is underway and soon one couple will lift the glitterball as Strictly 2015 Champions. But what do you think of the final performances? And who do you want to lift the glitterball in a few hours time? Let me and everyone else know by commenting on this post using the comment link above.
It’s probably redundant telling you this since most of the traffic this weekend will probably come from the social networking pages but you can like The Strictly Spoiler on Facebook or Follow Me on Twitter to keep up with all things Strictly Spoiler. I’ll be tweeting and facebooking along to the final so you can join me on those networks and tell me what you think.
A final poll for this series will open on this site towards the end of the first live show to give you all something to do while you wait for Casualty to finish! Once again I’ll be asking who you want to win. Has your opinion changed after seeing the final routines including the show dances? Let me know when the poll opens!
Time for our final look at the finalists ahead of tomorrow’s final and this time it’s the turn of Georgia and Giovanni.
Best Dance
Georgia and Giovanni’s best routine came in week 9 for their Charleston which scored 39 points with all the judges except Craig reaching for their 10 paddles (9,10,10,10)
Worst Dance
We have to go back to the distant past of week 2 to find their lowest scoring routine. Their Waltz scored 25 points (6,6,6,7)
Average Score
Once again we’ll ignore the Quickstepathon which means Georgia and Giovanni have amassed 428 points over 13 routines making for an average score of 32.9
Number Of Times In The Dance Off
Georgia and Giovanni have survived one dance off this series in week 11. Their Foxtrot scored 36 (9,9,9,9) however despite being joint 2nd on the leaderboard they still found themselves in the dance off. The judges unanimously saved them over opponents Helen and Aljaž
13% of visitors to this site want them to win after last week’s Semi Final in the poll currently running, again at the time of writing.
Can they do it? Well if anyone is going to stop the juggernaut that is Jay and Aliona it surely has to be Georgia and Giovanni. It would take some doing though but we have had upsets in the final before and with many voters voting purely on the merits of the final anything could still happen. They’re my personal favourites this year and I’m hoping they do it, not least because I’ve got £10 on them (at 5-1 sadly rather than the current price of 6-1).
Do you want Georgia and Giovanni to win tomorrow? Let me know in the comments section.
Time for our penultimate look at the finalists ahead of Saturday’s final. This time it’s the turn of Katie and Anton. Yes you read that right, Anton is in his first ever final!!!!! Not sure if that’s been mentioned before on the show or not…..
Best Dance
Unsurprisingly both of their highest scoring routines were ballroom dances. The first was their American Smooth during week 9 at Blackpool which scored 35 (8,9,9,9). They matched that score during week 11’s Quarter Final with their Foxtrot with the judges scoring it an identical 35 (8,9,9,9)
Worst Dance
Anton may be the king of Ballroom and it suits Katie too but their latin has not been as good. Week 3’s Cha Cha scored just 20 points (4,6,5,5)
Average Score
Ignoring pointless elements like the Quickstepathon, Katie and Anton have amassed 364 points across 13 routines making for an average score of 28. This is the lowest average of the four finalists and a lower average than Peter and Janette, Anita and Gleb and Helen and Aljaž all of whom have been eliminated!
Number Of Times In The Dance Off
Katie and Anton have survived one dance off during last week’s semi final which they survived by 3 votes to 1 (Craig) against Anita and Gleb. During the Dance Off they chose to redo their Waltz which previously scored 31 (8,9,7,7)
They are currently sitting in 3rd on my poll of who you want to win with 12% of the vote and 3 votes ahead of Kellie and Kevin in 4th place.
Can they win? It would probably take a very strong final for them to do so and the only way they can do that is if they only have Ballroom. I don’t doubt for one minute that their show dance and their choice routines will be Ballroom but the judges choice may throw a spanner in the works. We probably shouldn’t underestimate Anton’s popularity though and I’m sure many of his fans will be voting for him in his first final so even though they may be the weaker couple on paper we probably shouldn’t discount them. 18-1 is a quite attractive price and it may be worth a couple of quid just in case they do have a good final and the public gets behind them. Everyone loves an underdog right?
Do you agree? Do you want Katie and Anton to win? Let me know in the comments.
