My hubby watched SCD final with me and he said the same. He couldn't believe how good Louis was once he over the topless bit.

Louis Smiths Showdance was pathetic. How on earth peeps loved that was for the obvious reason. I think Denise did the best showdance and Kim's Tango was amazing. I wonder how many would moan if a Male Celeb who was attractive competed on the show next year but also had appeared in the west end like Denise. I think not. He would be flat out winner |

This has got to be a joke?
Ricky Whittle (hot nice body, teen soap star) losst to Chris Hollins and had more dance ability in his little finger! We've had two male winners in a row yes, but before Harry, Kara made it equal male - female winners. could argue the same that all the men just vote for Ola! And that wouldn't be true either. There are swarms of women who fancy Pasha and Artem as well so it's hardly like we're blind to a hot pro partner, so the argument is completely nonsensical. Currently 60% of winners are men. If we get a female winner next year the percentage of male finalists would be 54% so it's hardly like the men are running away with it! |

Kara won because she was the best dancer.
Strictly is a dancing contest, but it's also a personality contest, and the women are scrutinised particularly harshly. You need only to look around this board for proof. That said, Louis deserved to win. He wasn't my choice, but he peaked tonight. Whilst I don't completely agree with the OP, they have a slight point. |

Kara was a great dancer and way better than Matt. I remember Matt for all the wrong reasons, his terrible cringy show dance.

Female celebs only have the knicker flash option, unlike males they can't flash their nipples.
Nipples beat knickers all the time. |

There is a lot of opinion being stated as if it's irrefutable fact in this thread.
Most viewers are not qualified to determine who is the best dancer, which is probably why the show never asks us to. You vote for who you want according to whichever criteria you choose i.e. a popularity contest. I thought it was a great final three. I would have been very happy with any of them winning. |

If you remember Matt was fave to win I think.
The judges ripped him apart on the final and he had the lowest score for each dance. This along with the romance made Kara win. I am just concerned that next series the "fit" male celeb will win again. The year with Lisa Snowdon and Rachel losing over Tom has got to be the biggest disgrace though. Louis was a capable dance but his is no where in Kim or Denise's league. |

Then Julian was eliminated in third place so it was Jill v Denise.

Its hilarious LOL

I think Denise did the best showdance and Kim's Tango was amazing. : By no stretch of the imagination was Louis' showdance pathetic. His and Denise's were far superior to the other two but his had more dancing in it than Denise's. Dani's showdance was just plain awful. Everything about it - the steps, the messy lifts and the fact that they just used bits of their song which didn't flow. Kimberley's showdance was just boring |

Even though the OP's view on this is a bit extreme, I don't know why some people are denying that this is the case. It's pretty irrefutable that men do better in these shows than women on average. Just look at X Factor: Of the 27 contestants who have made the top 3, only 6 of them were soley female. 7 if you count Same Difference who were mixed.
With SCD it is a lot more even (50% I think), but I'm quite confident that if the judge's scores didn't matter, then it would be a lot closer to XF's than it is now. |

![]() Louis could have danced without Flavia. Denise would have been spinning around on the floor without James. |

If Louis had danced the same quality as say Nicky. I still think he would have won. Even if he got 8's on the final.
The voters are just voting for him cause he is male and I stick to my statement that if your an attractive female who is clearly an amazing dancer you will not win. Or be very unlikely to win. Unless the male cast is rubbish. |

Yes I think thats probably true, I am guessing that a high percentage of the audience/voters are female. That would explain louis winning, despite the fact that the female finalists were both far better dancers.

Your in a romance story (Kara) or up against a totally horrific finalist. Eg Julian, Chris Parker.
Only Alesha I think has managed to win and by then many would have been voting for Matt DiAngelo. (Would have lost if Gethin would have been in final IMO) Says it all really. I've only ever picked up the phone and spent money voting for one person in all 10 series of Strictly, and that was for Kara. And that was because she was the best dancer - when I watch her dance, she moves me emotionally and I thought she deserved to win. Her relationship with Artem didn't enter into it at all. One of my other favourites from a previous year was Rachel Stevens and I would have liked to see her win too. I always want the best dancer to win - age, appearance, gender or anything else are irrelevant. |

What a patronising, sweeping generalisation.

I always want the best dancer to win - age, appearance, gender or anything else are irrelevant. However, I am talking about the final result as a whole and I stand by my comments. I am yet to see a series of SCD where a female celeb has won based on a premise she is a great dancer compared to an equally talented male celeb. Saying its about personality is just an excuse not to want the female celeb not to win IMO. |

Dani was a better dancer than Louis? Her showdance let her down, in comparison, Louis' showdance was flawless and breathtaking.

None of Louis and Flavia's dances will go down as memorable. Denise's Charleston and Jive, Kim and Dani's fusions are the standouts from this series.

I don't think Dani was a better dancer than Louis and yes her show dance was a let down. As for Louis' showdance, it was a gymnastic display and a boring one at that.
I said Dani deserved 4th place. I was no way saying Dani should have won over Louis. Kim and Denise however where much more talented. They just did not win cause they where attractive females. Peeps just "voted for the fit bloke" |
