I agree with all the lovely comments on here, still sad that they didn't make the final and still a bit mad that they didn't really get the recognition and praise they deserved, the judges could be quite patronising to them at times! But alas, if they had to go at least they went out with a bang, their QS was by far the best dance of the night, period!
Its lovely to see that Claudia has gained so much confidence from the show and comes across such a lovely, polite, hardworking young lady, she really is an excellent role model. I really enjoyed her partnership with AJ and think he has been a credit to the show and has choreographed some stunning routines.....not always easy considering their height difference. I have re-watched that Salsa many times (my fave dance of the series!) as well as others. I'm a big Gymnastics fan anyway so will be watching out for Claudia and hope to see her put a few new moves in her floor routine lolWho will everyone be voting for now? |

Genuinely not out of bitterness, but I can't be bothered with the final this year, so I won't be voting for anyone.

Of the three couples left, I suppose I feel Danny would be the most worthy winner but can't get that excited for the final tbh so if i were to vote it would be for him and Oti.
I still feel Claudia deserved to be in the final but I think the judges, particularly Darcey imo, just didn't seem to 'like' her dancing as much as say Ore or Louise. Does anyone else also feel she was unlucky to get the rumba as well in the semis? Very difficult dance to score highly (and I mean 10s) on and that sealed their place on the leaderboard. I think if she had done the rumba earlier and got say the AT in the semis, I think they would have gone through. No use complaining now though I guess. |

I think the judges were judging on expectation/premeditation. If they had been judging on the two dances they'd each done on the night, she definitely should have been second to Danny. |

Definitely agree that her place on the leaderboard and fate were decided before anyone even danced on Saturday
Will be voting for Danny and Oti, again more because I don't want either of the other two to win, but nobody can deny he's a good dancer. |

Also the look on Claudia's face when she found out she was up against Danny was pure resignation to her fate. So disappointed, she was the best technical dancer in the competition. Would loved to have seen her VW and Paso again. With her improved technique in the VW and improvement as a performer in the Paso, they would have been amazing. |

The look on Darcey's face when Claudia was announced in the DO was exactly the same one she had when Jamelia was eliminated in favour of Peter Andre. I think she realised that she hadn't got her scoring right. A 10 for Ore's and a 9 for Claudia's?! Really highlights how much she has favored Ore in the competition.

Yeah I think they both knew their fate was sealed when up against Danny in the DO. I felt Claudia actually danced better but I suppose Danny is the better overall dancer and that's how they really decide it, let's face it. Would have loved to see them in the final and their show dance would have been amazing! |

In light of music and training clips of the other showdances it makes me wonder all the more what Claudia and AJ had in mind for their routine.
I now know how Georgia fans felt when she didn't do the Argentine Tango. |

Just popping in to say how much I'm going to miss seeing these two dance together tonight. Feels like the competition ended last week rather than the final being today!

A week late... but so sorry to see Claudia & AJ go out... on their best dance too. Wish them all the best in future. Claudia in her gymnastics and AJ in his dancing career. The final won't be quite the same without them.

I am still disappointed that Claudia and AJ were robbed of a place in the final as were Anita and Gleb last year. I was going to vote for Danny but I forgot I am out at a do tonight so I can't.

I was really looking forward to Claudia's and AJ's Showdance.
![]() Think if they'd been up against Louise and Kevin in the dance off, the judges would have had to put Claudia and AJ through to the final as their QS was super.

How amazing was Claudia in that group dance?
![]() Still a shame they didn't make the final but they've produced some of my favourite dances ever and I'm sure both of them will go on to great things. #PocketRockets !

There were main two highlights in the final for me last night - neither involving the three celebs competing
Loved seeing my two favourite pros Katya and Giovanni do a pro number together, and then Claudia finishing the reunion dance on Giovanni's shoulder

I loved her tumbling, layout back-flips and a back somersault without a sprung floor.

You seem to follow Claudia as a gymnast as well as a dancer. Will you be able to keep us up to date with her training and future competitions. We could also keep up with AJ and his dance commitments. |
