Pasha and Chelsee had such an AMAZING chemistry. Honestly, she had no idea how good she was. I was so proud she came 2nd in 2011.
Favourite dance has to be their quickstep/Pasadoble. Their ArgentineTango, the footsteps were beyond, and lastly their Rumba which was so powerful.
To me they're my all time power couple and introduced me to this beautiful show that I now LOVE.

For me, it has to be Kara and Artem's rumba (the pink one, of course). It took me a while to pick a favourite in Series 8, and it wasn't until Blackpool and that innovative and controversial American Smooth that I nailed my colours to the mast and voted for them (the previous week I had voted for Scott and Natalie's brilliant jive). From then on, they simply mesmerised me and I desperately wanted them to win.
For the semi-final, they danced an amazingly beautiful, dream-like Viennese Waltz to Stop and then the rumba. Normally I hate that bloody dance, but from the moment Kara wafted her arm over her head and walked towards Artem through the smoke to the strains of Santana's Samba Pa Ti, until their final pose, I don't think I breathed once. Simply stunning.
I have watched it a hundred times (or more) since that night and yes, there was a wobble, and yes, her foot came off the ground (thank you, Craig) but it moved me like no other dance on Strictly has ever moved me. It therefore has to be my stand out moment and, for that, thank you, Kara and Artem.”

Thank you peeve. Beautifully said ..As the much maligned Bruce said "and it was in the music". It was simply breathtaking and for me will never be topped .
I loved Ali and Brian, especially their Viennese waltz at Blackpool. They should have got to the final,their American Smooth was so graceful.
Loved their charleston,which was performed with Ali having a swollen ankle all week, so quirky and well performed.

The schadenfreude ones
... the evil genius of John Sergent dragging Kristina off to Recycling.
... Nancy. I still don't know what lift they planned for that 'wheelbarrow' moment in the Salsa.
