I thought I'd have a look at the 3 finalists' journeys:

The first 4 figures are the judges' individual rounded average scores (Craig, Len, Alesha, Bruno). The next is the overall rounded average score. Since there have been 12 dances performed by each couple, I thought I'd split them chronologically into groups of 3, so the 4 figures in brackets are the average scores for the first quarter, second quarter, and so on. For a normal "journey", you'd expect a fairly smooth improvement for each quarter:

Harry+Aliona: 8.1 8.3 9.3 8.8 : 34.5 (29.3) (34) (36.7) (38)

Chelsee+Pasha: 8.0 8.5 9.0 8.7 : 34.3 (28.7) (34.7) (35) (38.3)

Jason+Kristina: 8.2 8.6 8.8 8.6 : 34.1 (33.7) (30.7) (35.3) 37)

So, both Harry and Chelsee seem to fit the expected profile, starting from about 29, and progressing up to about 38. As we might have expected, Jason started strongly with an average of nearly 34 for the first quarter, but dropped back dramatically to less than 31, before bouncing back to finish on 37.

Love your analysis of various aspects. Almost seems like Jason ran out of steam then dug deep and found new reserves of energy.(either that or the mid section dances had less room for theatrics).

Interesting.

So Craig's preferred final 2 from his marks would be Harry & Jason; Len's Chelsee and Jason, Alesha's Harry and Chelsee and Bruno's Harry and Chelsee.

Thanks for that! Jason's 2nd quarter dances were: Paso, QS, Rumba, for which he scored 27, 37 and 28. The opening for the QS was, for me, one of the "magic moments" of the series (danced to "Bewitched"). The Rumba's always difficult for a bloke (unless he's really good!), and his Paso must have been pretty bad (I can't even remember it). But you're right - he does seem to rely heavily on theatrics!

Also, I get the impression he put in a lot more practice prior to the start of the series.

Interesting.

Well, as I've noted in one of my previous threads, Jason seems to favour Jason slightly, and Len's certainly had his (negative) moments regarding Harry (and Aliona!). I do think that he's more favourably disposed to H+A nowadays, though.
