What a generalisation!!!!!

Artem looked like he was distraught at what happened in the showdance and wanted to give himself a good beating. He was totally overcome when they won.

The showdances are always a calculated risk, and he was a bit unlucky there.

They are both so attractive that their getting together is no surprise at all. There hasn't been a long lasting romance on the show yet - maybe theirs will be?

Oh, Artem lucked out - definitely. First time on Strictly, he got a great natural talent to mould into shape, and that fact that they got on so well was a bonus. Add to that the fact that they are both single and of an age, and mutual attraction was perhaps inevitable.

He was also lucky that Kara could cope with his choreography - a bit daring, difficult and different, and lucky that Strictly relaxed its own rules at the start of the series, allowing lifts and tricks that would normally have had the judges frothing at the mouth. Artem put lifts into that paso, don't forget, which went unchallenged. Len did rein it in half-way through and he put his foot down where the AS was concerned (as Craig did with the rumba), but that relaxation of the rules certainly didn't harm their cause.

Lucky? Yes! But also talented (and it doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous, sweet and HOT), so I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him. Good luck to them both.

Its the first time on Strictly that talk of a 'showmance' hasnt made me want to vomit.....possibly because they are both such genuinely lovely people, that didnt make a song and dance about it.....also helped that they were/are my favourite couple this year. Good luck to both of them.....I wasnt going to the tour this year but I am very tempted to go just to see Kara and Artem dance.

So yes Artem is very lucky......his first year on Strictly and he got a fantastic partner that took him to the glitterball....but he made a lot of that luck himself with fantastic routines.

As the great Gary Player said - 'You know, it's quite amazing. The more I practice, the luckier I get.',,,

Artem is no ingénue to all this http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s104/...igvintsev.html having participated in both So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars in the US not to mention Burn the Floor both in the West End and Broadway and going out with judge Carrie Ann Inaba. Maybe one to watch?? Meeting people via work is the way to go these days but will it last? Who knows but I wish them well however the issue maybe where they want to reside - UK or US??

I thought they were great and deserved to win. He looked more enthusiastic about her than she did about him. Maybe she thought that if she was too fawning over him, it would lose her support from the public. No one likes someone who is too desperate.

I never thought Ali and Brian were genuine. He was such an odd looking man and I can't see why she would have fancied him.
