After the midnight raid on the Argentine Tango and Paso Doble in the semis, there are only a few dances left to have never received a 40/40. If you discount Rock N Roll (LOL) and the Showdance (which has only intermittantly been scored throughout the history of the show) they are :

American Smooth (no, Christmas Specials don't count)
Rumba
Samba
Tango

With three of these four being performed in the final, where Perfect Scores get handed out like sweets, how many do people think will be left standing at the end of the night? I think the American Smooth (Harry) probably has the best chance of falling, but I could see them lobbing one at Chelsee as well. It'd feel really odd if the "perfect tango" was a discgo to I Will Survive, but it WOULD be hilarious.

I think Harry's AS will probably get 40. I think Chelsee will get a perfect score or two, but for her Quickstep and/or Jive rather than her Rumba.

I think that all three of the finalist will get at least one perfect score of 40 personally....especially as the scores dont count for anything and the judges tend to be a bit more end of term happy.

Bearing in mind that we are not 100% sure of the dance order I predict

Jason 40 for the Tango (so thats another dance from your list above)
Chelsee 40 for the Rumba
Harry 40 for the AS (as long as Aliona continues to behave and no repeat of NNNEEEWWW YOOORK ....was that meant to be an AS?)

So that only leaves the Samba which will remain as a non perfect score for another year.

I also think Chelsee will get 40 for her Jive if it goes to plan.

I think the rumba is the most likely to fall, although if the American Smooth hadn't already gone when they made Darcey Bussell a judge and therefore made ultimatestrictly.com's stats page harder to read accurately, I'd say Harry would have had an excellent chance to get the first ever perfect score in it. It'd feel really odd if the "perfect tango" was a discgo to I Will Survive, but it WOULD be hilarious.

Harry's VW was near perfect in the semis. This time I am sure he'll move his head more to the left and with the lifts, if there is no incident, he'll probably get the perfect 40.

I hope Chelsee gets her perfect 40 in the rumba, but I doubt. Probably two or maximum three tens at best.

But do we think that any of the new record-40s this series will actually be worthy of that score (or the record, for that matter)?

Personally, I do think Chelsee and Pasha's Paso deserved the record, and even the 40 (I'm assuming no-one had managed even a 39 previously, but maybe I'm wrong here). I don't agree with Jason and Kristina's AT's 40, Jason just posed and pulled faces, so I think they were seriously overmarked. Scandalous, really.

Chelsee and Pasha's Paso wasn't perfect, so I don't think it deserved 40. The record was 38, scored by Austin & Erin, then Jill, Emma and Kara all scored 37. Personally I think Kara's Paso was the best Strictly's ever seen...

If Jason and Kristina's AT deserved 40, Mark & Karen should've got about 70.

I still think Harry and Aliona should have got 40 for their VW, haven't liked one since Alesha and Matt... which was also under markerd.

Damn craig

If anyone deserves a 40 it's Harry and Aliona. The QS and the VW both deserved full marks yet Craig deducts a mark because Harry's head is tilted very slightly too much? And then the gurning Jason Donovan gets a perfect 10 for his AT? Not sure the judges have their heads screwed on properly... either that, or Harry's been rejecting Craig's flirting backstage.
