Pamela's undanced Argentine tango
First of all congrats to all the finalists, particularly Kara and Artem for winning. But, I actually wanted to see Pamela and James AT, even as their last dance after coming third place. Pamela acts her dances dynamically, and I really wanted to see her work such a dramatic dance. Seems such a shame after training for it all week, she wasn't allowed to dance it as her final dance, as previous competitors have been allowed to do. Oh well.

While not massive a fan, I do think it's a shame that we never got to see it. All that hard work gone to waste.

I'm sure they'll find a way to perform it at some point... with the Chris/Ola connection James might manoeuvre for them to perform it on Breakfast.

I thought that at first, but considering how the dancing went tonight, we probably didn't miss anything. Even the good dances were just ok, nothing was really wow.

I'm still cross about that even though she was my least favourite of the 3. Last year Lisa was allowed to do her showdance as her final dance, and I remember Zoe doing hers too - that final was the last 3 person final before the Tom/Lisa/Rachel year.
I wish they'd let her dance and I also wish the judges were more positive in general. I'm thrilled for Kara but I'll be honest, I didn't really enjoy this final. Although I remember briefly feeling like this 3 years ago - I'm sure it'll pass! |

I think they should have squeezed it in, it would have been nice to see.

Yes i would have liked to have seen it to!, it seems such a waste for them to have got changed with all that involves to just have to walk off straight away!....not right at all!... I can't see why they couldn''t have let them all dance before announcing who the first to go would be?....
I feel like the A/tango has been very thin on the ground this year can only remember Kara and Scott doing it?, so for that reason i would have liked to have seen it as well!.....

I'm gutted we won't get to see it, and I'm sure Pamela's gutted not to get to perform it, she said it was her favourite dance. I wonder if they might perform it on tour now? I'm expecting their VW/Quickstep and the Rumba or Charleston, but who knows! |

Not a fan of Pamela, didn't especially want to see her AT, but think she should have been allowed to dance it. All eliminated finalists have had a showdance to finish with; obviously with the change in order that couldn't happen, but she still should have had something.

I feel like I've lost something as well. Look at the gift that Lisa and Brendan left us with their "voluntary"...

Agree - I always thought it unfair to make them train for dances they didn't get to do - and I think this AT could've been really special.

I would much rather have seen all the new dances than the showdances (which are never much cop anyway).
I feel bad for Pamela and James that they've practised this dance and never had the chance to show it off. Easily could have done three dances and then finished with one in a shorter results show. Not forgetting also the final two couples missed one dance out each. |

Such a waste - they trained, the band learned the music, the costumes were made, but they couldnt even spare 90 seconds for them to perform! They could have cut some of that interminable 'voice of the public' bit (i.e. all of it)

I'm pretty annoyed about this and it would have annoyed as much if it had happened to Matt. They could have easily done it as a goodbye dance - cost all of a minute and a half and could just have cut the faff clip time. It was a sucky thing to do to one of the three couples to have them slog their guts out reherse to four dances which two of one couple don't even get to dance. Somehow the reprise one ain't so tragic because they're just polishing a routinue they've already done and we've already seen but to put together a dance no one sees is a waste for the both the losing couple and the audience. I feel the way I always feel about couples who go out before they should in the competition like that - a shame for the couple and a shame for their fans what they don't get to see - but it makes me angrier because it could have been so easily recified Pamela was even in the bloody costume for it FFS .
I am sure that Pamela and James will do that dance on tour anyway, so it will not be wasted! As much as I was not a fan of Pamelas, she danced very well for her age and she had massive stamina to do so many dances! Well done to both Matt and Pamela for achieving so much but massive praise goes to Kara for being so consistant the whole series! |

As much as I can see why some people might be annoyed, at the end of the day it should be the top two that get to do the extra dance, just as in the X factor, the third and fourth person rehearsed their winning song but only the top two get to sing it!
