Yes Terry, IMO the best male pro and comes across very nice and polite, the only other two who have impressed me were Darren Bennet and Mat Cutler.

Two years, two finals. He's done OK.

Lol mte.
Pasha did very well to get two celebs to the final, especially Chelsee who I think many people where expecting to be one of the first few eliminated.

I imagine he's not too gutted either, I know I'm a fan but he seems so lovely, I think he is more interested in teaching the celeb and the growth his partner makes rather than winning - could be wrong though

I was however sorry for Pasha when he was eliminated on SYTYCD, he woz robbed, but thats another story

I agree, his showdance let them down but Louis was not the winner of SCD. The only reason he won was the overwhelmingly female vote .

I would put Kim and Denise equal first in the final and Louis third.

Did the judges mark Louis as being first ? I thought it was Denise top and Kimberley second or equal first ?

It was Denise top with 119 and Louis & Kimberley equal with 118.

But by your logic, all the good looking men to ever take part in this competition would have won! Since that hasn't happened, i think it's safe to say that his ability to dance also had something to do with his win. It's really quite funny the way people are refusing to accept that Louis has won this show.

When people say "the judges" ranked Denise as top on the night they really mean Craig did. By one point. The other three gave all three of the Top Three 30 points out of 30 then fell around smearing one another with jam and giggling.

There is always satisfaction in teaching and to see growth in a partner, but imo the goal is always to win, even if a pro takes a loss graciously. He does seem lovely.

[aimeeaimee1000]

I dont he has had two good Celebs two years running so has done okay. He does mess up his showdances though !!. Not my favourite, would like to see him with someone less able next year just to see how he does. ?

I know that Colin and Erin's showdance was one of the worst ever on scd but they have no chance of winning even before that because of the popularity of Darren G & Lilia whereas it would have been closer between Tom and Austin

Who Pasha gets next year depends on the lineup and the producer but I find it hard to feel sorry for a pro who has been there 2 years and got to the final twice any pro would love that record

Especially when few pros have managed that record and apart from Ian Waite (sadly missed ) he's the only pro to have made the final in his first two years on the show.

How about this for a nasty personal comment - but assume the DS moderators are asleep as usual.

Have just rewatched the videos of top three showdances, and Louis's did have that extra something of surprise, romance and consistency (well done Flavia) which finally won me over.
Denise and James danced the only successful showdance (according to professional criteria) ever - but while they created the Wow wow wow factor, they didn't create the romantic factor that got so many people voting for Louis. I also think that Flavia has her own pretty huge fan club.

Pasha came 2nd last year and 3rd this so I think he's doing well. Especially as he constantly wore an annoying hairstyle this year.

Agree I think Pasha is more interested in teaching than winning & He was robbed on sytycd although I thought Danny should have won that series

His hairstyle was dreadful this year his showdances let him down x 2. Next year I hope he get a mature women then we can see his real skills.

BIB: LOL Glad somebody agrees with me about that hairstyle. Judging from the tour pics he's being pretty stubborn about hanging on to it though. Shame about the showdances but they were a mess. I guess he was trying to please his partners by choreographing to their favourite music but Beyonce just doesn't match his lyrical style.

Do I feel sorry for Pasha? Yes, I do. His partnership with Kimberley looked good on paper but it all went a bit pear-shaped. He must have been frustrated by the extent of Kimberley's other commitments. It made it really difficult for him to deliver a really WOW routine. The Charleston came close but Kimberley really messed up those cartwheels and it didn't deserve a 40. I know it isn't fair on the other pros but I'd love to see him with another contender who's prepared to set aside enough time to rehearse as this year may be the last chance we get to see what he can really do.

Hi welcome to the forum crimsonlake

Quite a few people mentioned his 'hairstyle' It was quite a talking point on the Pasha appreciation thread when it was first unveiled I wasn't keen on it, I much prefer how it was before but have got used to it now.

I think his partnership with Kimberely had it's shaky moments as you say due to her other commitments but I think they produced a few outstanding dances - their American Smooth is one of my favourites. I agree they really should have steered clear of giving him Beyonce for the showdance espeically as they'd already used one of her tracks for the salsa and he'd done a disco type showdance to Beyonce with Chelsee last year!

I feel sorry for him too - he's been given two contenders but both of them had issues with other commitments and their nerves so he's been unable to fulfil their full potential with them and they were both up against two young very popular male contenders. I think the judges and audience will be gunning for a female winner this year so this year will be the best chance for whichever male pro that gets a female contender to win.

I'm all for fairness for the pros but I suppose because I like Pasha I wouldn't mind if he gets another contender too because it would be nice to see him win but I'm not sure if it'll happen because he's been in the final for two years running now.

[rifleman]

sorry but all the male professionals are at a disadvantage as the bulk of prople voting are female who will be voting for their boyband/pinup hero wether he has 2 left feet or not
