Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 13 (Final) Discussion/Polls

Here we are then. We have reached the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2017 and for the four remaining couples just 3 dances separate them from the glitterball and being crowned champions of 2017.

No spoilers this weekend as not even the BBC are stupid enough to pre record the results for the final but just because there are no spoilers that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot to do here at the home of the Strictly Spoiler.

Polls will be opening throughout the final to gauge your opinion of the finalists after each of their routines so keep checking back to tell me what you think or see what the rest of the community thinks about each routine.

Finally donations are still open if you want to help me out with my hosting costs or just want to buy me a pint for all my work this series. Since I deployed the current hosting solution just under 2 weeks ago the site has cost me nearly £100 to host.

Strictly Come Dancing 2017 Finalists – Gemma and Aljaz

It’s time for the final part in my four part series where I take a look at each of the 4 finalists and their Strictly journey so far. Last to qualify for the final after surviving the Semi Final Dance Off is Gemma and Aljaz

Best Dance

Gemma and Aljaz’s best dance came in the magic of the Blackpool Tower Ballroom during week 9 when their American Smooth scored 38 with the judges (9,9,10,10)

Worst Dance

We have to go all the way back to week 1 for their worst routine. Their Cha Cha Cha scored just 20 points (4,5,5,6)

Average Score

Gemma and Aljaz have scored 374 points across 13 routines. Weighting the week 5 scores to account for Bruno’s absence this makes for an average of 29.4 the lowest average of all the finalists and a lower average than eliminated couples Aston and Janette and Davood and Nadiya

Number of times in the Dance Off

Gemma and Aljaz survived most of the competition without landing in a dance off, only coming unstuck during last weekend’s Semi Final.  Opting to perform their Tango again they survived against Mollie and AJ

Odds of winning

The bookies are extremely split when it comes to rating their chances with prices ranging from 10-1 to an extremely good value 20-1 (and everything in between)

Can they do it? Although on paper they seem by far the weakest couple remaining and several bookmakers have written them off as 20-1 long shots for the glitterball I wouldn’t write them off just yet. As far as the 20-1 prices are concerned they represent in my opinion amazing value for money and I’ve personally bitten the hand off one bookie offering those odds. I personally feel that the 10-1 prices are a fairer reflection on their actual chances of winning tomorrow.

We shouldn’t forget that last series Ore and Joanne were distant outsiders going in to the final and pulled it out of the bag but there’s no doubting that it will take a strong final to do it however looking at their judges choice, show dance and the fact that it is highly probable they will pick their American Smooth as their favourite routine and it could still happen. Their public support kept them out of trouble right until the final dance off of the series too.

What do you think of Gemma and Aljaz? Are you supporting them? Let me know in the comments or over on Facebook or Twitter for your chance to win prizes in the final week of the Strictly Spoiler competition.

Don’t forget you can still vote in this week’s poll and tell me who your champions are
