I actually found it fascinating the way Louis would slip into this blue steel competition mode while he danced and yet be totally warm and personable off the dance floor. And that extra element of drama that seemed to swirl around them (judges controversial reactions, the over the top divisiveness he created on this forum) kind of added to their appeal.
They were the only ones whose dances I remembered and wanted to re-watch. I connected to their dancing and felt compelled to vote for them each week just so I could see what next they had to offer. I was actually OK with them being runner up in the Final until I saw how much effort Louis had put into the show on Saturday. His showdance was daringly different and spectacular in its simplicity. Out of the final four, it was he that left a lasting impression on me, and that in my opinion is why he and all the rest of his voters made sure he and Flavia got that Glitterball.”

He was very captivating wasn't he in a way that's hard to explain.
most of the costumes were dire this series apart from Kims - Denise had some dreadful ones
