I wonder which dance has received the lowest average score. The Rumba seems to fare poorly as does the Paso Double. Any thoughts

I don't know about that but I know the AS is the one I find the most boring.

It's the cha cha.

You are probably the right person to ask ( ) but is there a thread with stats for this series - ie who has the highest points for each dance and how it compares against other years?

I'd have said it was the cha-cha. It always seems to be one of the first dances attempted by couples so it stands to reason that it would have a lower average score.

Probably the cha-cha as it often comes early in the series

Awwwww you absolute angel!!! Thanks so much for this marinamau

It makes for interesting reading in terms of it being a mixed bag and that three of the finalists have the top three places in terms of most highest scores.
