Strictly Come Dancing 2022 Finalists – Helen and Gorka

Here we are with the third part in my four part guide where I look at each of the finalists and their Strictly journeys so far. As always I run this series in the order of qualification for the final and so we continue with Helen and Gorka

Worst Dance

As it should be, you have to go all the way back to week 1 for Helen and Gorka’s lowest scoring routine. Their American Smooth scored, a still respectable, 26 (6,7,6,7) with the judges

Best Dance

Helen and Gorka have fallen short of a maximum on two occasions. The first occasion was at Blackpool when Craig denied them a maximum score for their Quickstep (9,10,10,10)

The second occasion was during Musicals week when once again Craig denied them a perfect score for their Couple’s Choice (9,10,10,10). You will be seeing this routine again during the final as their favourite dance

Average Score

Helen and Gorka have amassed a total of 428 points from 13 routines making for an average of 32.9. This is the lowest average of the four finalists and is also lower than Semi Final eliminated couple Will and Nancy

Number of times in the Dance Off

Helen and Gorka have never faced a dance off

Can they win?

If anyone is going to stop the Hamza and Jowita train it is Helen and Gorka. They’ve been on the rise the last few weeks and whilst they are, at the time of writing, sitting second in my poll of who you want to win with 38.62% crucially they are just a few percentage points behind Hamza and Jowita and with a strong final they could pick up the support they need to be declared champions

Strictly Come Dancing 2022 Finalists – Hamza and Jowita

Here we are with the second part in my four part guide where I look at each of the finalists and their Strictly journeys so far. As always I run this series in the order of qualification for the final and so we continue with Hamza and Jowita

Worst Dance

You have to go all the way back to week 2 for their lowest scoring routine. Their Jive scored 24 points with the judges with Craig in particular being unimpressed (4,7,6,7)

Best Dance

Hamza and Jowita have fallen short of a maximum on two occasions with Craig (surprise surprise) being the denier. The first occasion was in week 4 when their Salsa wowed the judges and will be performed again in tonight’s final as the judges pick (9,10,10,10)

There was a long wait for their second near maximum which came during last weekend’s semi final and their Charleston had everyone bar Craig reaching for their 10s (9,10,10,10)

Average Score

Hamza and Jowita have amassed a total of 453 points from 13 routines making for the same average of 34.8 as Molly and Carlos however Hamza and Jowita have scored one point more than their fellow finalists making them marginally the best dancers on average

Number of times in the Dance Off

Hamza and Jowita are one of two finalists to have never faced a dance off

Can they win?

Hamza and Jowita have topped most of my polls this series including the current one asking which of the finalists you want to win which they at the time of writing have 41.61% in. This series really seems to be theirs to lose and currently looks like a two horse race between them and Helen and Gorka.

But Helen and Gorka are on the rise and have actually swapped places with Hamza and Jowita in the current poll on a few occasions so the glitterball is not Hamza and Jowita’s quite yet and they need to come out with a strong final to maintain the slight advantage they have in the public vote if they are going to win

Strictly Come Dancing 2022 Finalists – Molly and Carlos

Here we are with the first part in my four part guide where I look at each of the finalists and their Strictly journeys so far. As always I run this series in the order of qualification for the final and so we begin with Molly and Carlos

Worst Dance

You have to go back to week 5 for their lowest scoring routine. Their couples choice scored a mere(!) 30 points (6,8,8,8)

Best Dance

Their best routine came in last weekend’s semi final where Craig denied them a perfect score (9,10,10,10) for their Paso Doble

Average Score

Molly and Carlos have amassed 452 points from 13 routines making for an average score of 34.8. Only one couple has received more points from the judges and they only received 1 point more than Molly and Carlos

Number of times in the Dance Off

Molly and Carlos have survived a flabbergasting 4 dance offs on their route to the final. The first was in week 5 when, despite being let down by the poor theming, their Couple’s Choice (above) was enough to dispense with Jayde and Karen.

The second time was in week 7. This time her Foxtrot (8,9,9,9) was enough to see Ellie S and Nikita eliminated

Their third dance off came during Blackpool’s Week 9. This time their Jive (8,9,9,9) saved them in a closer Dance Off against Tyler and Dianne. With just Anton electing to save Tyler and Dianne the other three judges put Molly through

Their final dance off came in the Quarter Final Musicals Week. This time their Charleston (9,10,10,9) was enough to see off Kym and Graziano with again Anton being the only judge to try and swing it the other way

Can they win?

It’s a very tough ask to expect someone who has survived 4 dance offs to win the series. And sadly it’s very unlikely that Molly and Carlos will be crowned champions on Saturday regardless of how brilliantly they dance because they don’t have the public support. Some members of the public don’t seem to like the partnership. Some think she has dance experience because attending stage school makes her so well versed in the technicalities of Ballroom and Latin dancing that she has no business taking part in Strictly and should be on the judging panel where her expertise can be put to better use(!)

Sarcasm aside it’s going to take a seismic shift in the public vote for someone who is one of the best dancers in the competition, and certainly the most reliable having never scored below 30, to lift the glitterball on Saturday because why would people vote for one of the best dancers to win a dance competition? That’s utter madness! At the time of writing this post she is currently 3rd in my poll asking which of the finalists you want to win with 7.54% of you wanting them to come out on top on Saturday!
