Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Samba

Hearing the screams last week (at BBC TV Centre) every time Matt was announced/appeared I know he has a strong audience backing but to be honest any one of the three finalists would be a worthy winner of the glitter ball trophy, and I’m pretty sure it’s the best final line-up we’ve ever had.

Matt & Aliona are going to start with their highest marked dance of the series, the Samba, though personally I didn’t rate it quite as highly as the judges and I’m sure Matt & Aliona would have preferred a different dance too.

I’m starting to see the attraction the judges had the first time round though, I think Matt is performing this much better than the first time around and aside from the back flips at the end I really can’t fault it.

It’s going to have to be a 10!

Craig: 9 “All good I’m afraid…more confident than last time…bit ropey last time”
Len: 9 “You came out, full on”
Alisha: 10 “Best Samba of the series”
Bruno: 10 “That really got everybody going…even better this time”

Total Score: 38
