Strictly Come Dancing Final – Saturday 18th December Final Leader Board
1. 150 points – Kara & Artem2. 144 points – Matt & Aliona I do think that Kara is a better dancer than Matt, but something tells me Matt might just win the audience vote though…who do you want to win?
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – American Smooth
Kara has a dodgy arm, and Artem probably still a dodgy neck, it’s going to be an interesting American Smooth! I can see now what Emma saw in her arms earlier, she’s doing extremely well to keep smiling. It’s going really well but then it’s head down just before the standing slide and a very…
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Viennese Waltz
I wasn’t entirely sold on this first time round, if I remember correctly (haven’t time to go back and look). Shoulder line loses it a little bit, and it’s a bit too clipped at times. Can’t quite tell if they miss a hand at the end or not. Another good performance, but not perfect, just…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Waltz
I still wish Kara would keep her head up during spins, she always looks off balance, and this is a very shaky start, there doesn’t appear to be any confidence there. She keeps dropping her head. As Emma puts it, there’s just something not quite right there, she injured her arm in the Show Dance…
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Paso Doble
Some nice strong Spanish lines at the start, there’s a bit too much posturing around, even for Paso if you ask me, and the Chasse Capes look a little awkward. I’m not sure on the rolling hands from Matt during Aliona’s back bend, that’s usually the girls role. A very good Paso, not perfect so…

So our third place couple is Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan, can’t say I’m surprised as the voting was unlikely to go with her, but I still think she deserved to win it. It’s a real shame but you can’t say either of the other two finalists don’t deserve to be in the top two.…

1. 77 points – Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan 2. 75 points – Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev 3. 72 points – Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani So Pamela has ended up on top so far, as I predicted, though I think her Show Dance was possibly over marked. It’s up to the viewers to…
Read MorePamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Show Dance
I must admit this dance has me worried but I’m hoping Pamela pulls it out of the bag like she’s done so many times this competition. We have the theme from Dirty Dancing, and most of the moves…shame that James just catches himself on Pamela’s foot. A slight slip getting up from the floor spin…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Show Dance
I actually think these guys could produce the best Show Dance tonight, but let’s see what happens. I LOVE QUEEN! A bit of a strange section after Kara’s backflip with Artem randomly sliding across the floor, but they soon get back on track. A missed hand during one of the final lifts and another couple…
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Show Dance
Traditionally the one dance that can truly make or break you (think Lisa Snowdon or Colin Jackson) the Show Dance is always a toughy. Not sure on the outfit choices but Matt’s revers handstand is amazing. Not sure on all the pauses though and the Cha Cha portions aren’t great to be honest. Looks knackered…
