If Hayley and Dan do Jai Ho, they will win.

No they take TWO routines from their series - in Rays year he took Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now and Rock Around the Clock. One is scored on tour and the other is danced in the second half of the show. Sometimes they alternate which routine gets marked by the judges. They do not take a new routine at all.
Brilliant choices by Ray Two of the best DOI routines ever

Thanks, I often miss these things!

I thought Hayley's spins looked good, but I noticed she spots, which I gather is discouraged in ice skating as you are going so fast the it interupts the flow of the spin...

I did enjoy seeing this routine again, but glad she didn't win as Ray can perform at least as well as Hayley with a lot more skating difficulty.
She does spot, and you're right, in skating you don't do that in a spin as it slows you down and can make you go off balance. With trained dancers (like Hayley and Ray) they are trained to spot from the start of their dance training and it's a really difficult habit to break. IIRC Ray said in his series he was struggling to 'stop' spotting in his spins and it was making him dizzy. Ray still does it in his spins which is why his and Hayley's spins aren't as fast as Chris Fountain's.

I didn't think she'd win with Jai ho but it would have been her best chance, I think the fact that she couldn't do the solo spot well showed how she really couldn't skate without Dan
