Thank you for that.

I will PM you later, could I have them in for Monday at 8?

Thanks.

You didn't, I did reply to the pm but not with scores

I've nearly finished, 2 more songs to score and I need to do comments for 1 of them, no idea what to write but I hope I'll think of something

Thanks to Ethan and Callum for their respective PMs.

I will give Izzie until FRIDAY at 8PM for The Xmas Special BUT I would like NICOLAS, to send in THE FINAL PM to me by MONDAY as I want the Final to finish before the Xmas Special.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I will write up the Final TOMORROW, that is when the show will be too.

As for The Christmas Special, hopefully that'll be done by New Years Day!

The final will start now!

Hello and Welcome to Week 12: THE FINAL of Strictly: Glitz Into The Ballroom Series 2.

Please Welcome your judges:-

John (JohnStannard)
Ross (Monsieur23)
Callum (doctorwhofancal)
Nicolas (NicPlays) who is standing in for Queenie (dancing.queen) (Queenie if you are here at all, you could post down your scores in the thread and see what difference it would have made had you judged. )

First up tonight with their Viennese Waltz from all the way back in Week 5, it is Liam Payne and Chloe Hewitt

Liam and Chloe will dance a Viennese Waltz to “Dream” by Priscilla Ahn (Original Score 30/40)


Nicolas's Comments:- Liam Payne, you can sometimes be a bit of a pain in that one thing, and, although sometimes you're perfect, and you danced to one of the best songs ever, there ere so many little things that went wrong, I honestly think it was worst than the first time. Tripping up is not what makes a dance beautiful! Look, let's face it, you're history, sorry. Also, thanks for stealing my girl Chloe.*


Ross's Comments:- We may mock Len for it, but it really is an easy way to comment, taking the title of the song and parroting it back at the contestant; simply put, Liam, that was a dream of a dance. Sweeping, romantic, with gorgeous little gems of details and flourishes on all the right accents and beats. Beautiful.*

Well, that 3 clearly made a difference as Liam didn't improve, but more importantly, didn't de-prove on his scores.

How will Katy Perry and Aljaz Skorjanec do when they dance their Week 8 Disney Week Samba?

Katy and Aljaz will dance a Samba to “I Just Can't Wait To Be King” From The Lion King (Original Score 38/40)


John's Comments:- Absolutley brilliant, you deserve to be in this final and another brilliant dance!

Callum's Comments:- *Standing Ovation* Absolutely incredible, full of character, full of energy, vibrancy and attack. THAT it was I want from a final.

And again, Nicolas Revel Horwood () makes the difference to the scoring. 2 points down on last time there for Katy and Aljaz.

How will Tom Daley and Oti Mabuse do in their Cha Cha Cha, originally danced in Week 1.

Tom and Oti dance a Cha Cha Cha to “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke (Original Score 29/40)

Callum's Comments:- For a performance in the Grand Final, I expect a lot more. yes you had amazing rhythm but where was the hip action? This is the final, not week 1. You need to buckle your ideas up if you want to take the crown.

Nicolas's Comments:- Tom, I wish there were blurred lines throughout that routine, I was so distracted by the near-naked female backing dancers! Anyway, your Cha Cha Cha was fine, but please make sure to bring clothes next time.

It is a bit strange how you can judge someone based on their Outfit, this is Strictly Come Dancing, Not Britain's Next Top Model! 31 is a dissapointing score in a Final, but it is 2 points higher than last time for Tom, mostly though, down to John's 10.

Will Charlene White and Neil Jones get any 10s when they dance their Week 8 Disney Week American Smooth?

Charlene and Neil dance an American Smooth to “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo” From Cinderella


Ross's Comments:- Charlene, you will go to the ball! Well, you already have, but you’d get an open invitation to any future royal events with dancing like that! It was brilliant: witty, charming, stylish, and with lifts that, while daring, never detracted or distracted from the flow of the actual ballroom content. Neil may not be Prince Charming, but you certainly danced like a Princess.*


John's Comments:- It was ok but lacked wow for me.

A set of scores that makes sense for the First Time tonight!

Charlene also recieves her highest score of the series so far!

Now, onto the Showdance round, Starting with Liam Payne and Chloe Hewitt

Liam and Chloe dance a Showdance to “Army” by Ellie Goulding


Ross's Comments:- I can see where you were going with the song choice, and it did lead itself to some beautiful Argentine Tango and Contemporary choreography, but it just… didn’t go anywhere, really. Don’t get me wrong, it was a technical masterclass, but I just wanted a bit more dare and spark, which was sadly just a little lacking.*

John's Comments:- Effortless and incredible!

A 10 from Nicolas?! That can only be the biggest compliment of all time! Next up with their Showdance is Katy Perry and Aljaz Skorjanec, Warning, A total mixed bag of scores.

Katy and Aljaz dance a Showdance to “Firework” by Katy Perry


There has been confusion in the comments here, I think I accidentally typed in the wrong people's names for comments, it was ORIGINALLY MEANT TO BE CALLUM AND ROSS COMMENTING, BUT SINCE I HAVE DONE MORE MISTAKES, I'LL ACCEPT NICOLAS'S COMMENTS.

Callum's Comments:- For this to work, you really needed to be a spectacular show just like a firework. Yes there was lots of crackle, bang and pop but not enough whizz for me!


Ross's Comments:- *It was meant to be, wasn’t it Katy? This dance was you to a T, cheeky in the Cha-Cha, passionate in the Paso, and lion-hearted in the lifts (watch out Arlene). Dancing to your own song was quite a risk, as if it went wrong it would be indelibly etched on YouTube forever more, but it was flawless. Well done.*

Nicolas's Comments:- Shameless plug, Katy, shameless. I found the whole thing boring and generic, it didn't have any WOW factor in it, I wanted some ROAR. You're hot and you're cold, you're yes and you're no, this was a no**I honestly thought you were a dark horse, but I think you'll be the one that got away. All because of that showdance!*


Sorry about that Nicolas, I must have accidentally deleted Callum's name out in that and placed your name, I was in your PM cutting out Queenie's name and inserting yours, something has gone wrong, and for that, I am sorry.

Anyway, 33/40 isn't exactly a Firework of a performance and the scoring is very divided.

Next up with their Showdance are Tom Daley and Oti Mabuse.

Tom and Oti dance a Showdance to “Ain't That A Kick In The Head” by Dean Martin




Callum's Comments:- Compared to your performance earlier on, this is miles better. It included everything that you're fantastic at so Oti did some incredibly pleasing choreography. Just be careful on your open turns to not wave your arms about, this is a ballroom, not a bus stop.


Nicolas's Comments:- Well, Tom, I sometimes want to kick you in the head if I'm honest, everything about that routine was perfect until you decided to do the harlem shake, which is a dead meme!!*


Another 36/40!

Next up with their Showdance are Charlene White and Neil Jones.

Charlene and Neil dance a Showdance to “Hymn For The Weekend” by Coldplay

John's Comments:- Unimpressed and cold sorry.

Nicolas's Comments:- That. Is. A. SHOWDANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though the song isn't that wild, the way you danced was insane!

That, once again , is Charlene's highest score. Now, it is time for the Couple's Favourite Dance round.

First up with their Favourite dance, a Salsa from Week 8 Disney Week, it's Liam Payne and Chloe Hewitt.

Liam and Chloe dance a Salsa to “Why Should I Worry” From Oliver and Company (Original Score 36/40 WEEK 8 DISNEY WEEK)


Sorry guys, 3 of you sent in comments for this again, as I can't remember who it was supposed to be, I'll just accept all 3 comments!

Ross's Comments:- Aargh, so close! Liam, it was still a brilliant, showstopping number, but I just saw a single missed underarm turn! It was 99% flawless, and god I wish I hadn’t seen it, but alas, I did; mistakes happen to the best of us. Still, your hips were on fire throughout, the lifts were exciting but never overly wild, and you were effortlessly cool throughout. Congratulations on making it to the Final, and well done.


Nicolas's Comments:- Why should you worry? That was brilliant! You were s**t up until now, but I think you are officially back in the race, well done!!!!!!!!!!*


Callum's Comments:- This was simply spectacular, what an amazing Latin dance to end on. That's all I can say.

John's 7 makes a SIGNIFICANT difference to Liam's Scores, IT IS THE SAME AS LAST TIME!

Hoping to improve on that, with their favourite dance, their Week 5 American Smooth, please welcome Katy Perry and Aljaz Skorjanec.

Katy and Aljaz will dance an American Smooth to “Singin' In The Rain” by Gene Kelly (Original Score 38/40 Week 5)


Ross's Comments:- It’s always risky taking on such an iconic number, but if anyone can even come close, it’s you Katy. The sections of Foxtrot in hold could’ve done with a little bit more extension in your neck, but my god did you capture the spirit of the number. It was bright and breezy, elegant and easy, and a testament to just how good a dancer you are.

Nicolas's Comments:- It was brilliant Katy, this is how you do! I'll admit, you kept me wide awake after your last two, because I thought you just lost it, but unconditionally my love has returned! Last (Friday) night, I was reading through the thread and I thought you were the one to beat; You just proved you are!


38 is a great score and Katy is happy that the judges think she is back on form.

Our Penultimate dance tonight, comes from Tom Daley and Oti Mabuse who will dance their Week 9 Viennese Waltz.

Tom and Oti dance a Viennese Waltz to “It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” (Original Score 37/40 WEEK 9)


Nicolas's Comments:- I do like Kylie ....but I don't think that was great. It was just boring and corny, borny! And you do not want to be borny IN THE FINAL!!!!!!!!!

John's Comments:- A very apt song and this was the dance of the series.

Callum's Comments:- Again it's your turns that are stopping it from being a perfect score. This time your balance. I'm slightly disappointed that none of your performances have been perfect from me but this was without a doubt, my favourite dance of yours.

A good set of scores for Tom there.

Our FINAL performance of the series comes from Charlene White and Neil Jones who dance a Samba, 1980s style.

Charlene and Neil dance a Samba to “Conga” by Gloria Estefan (Original Score 33/40 WEEK 6 1980S NIGHT)


Nicolas's Comments:- Oh Charlene, WHY DID YOU MESS UP YOUR LAST DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!** I'm so annoyed, you were brilliant but you threw it all away!!! I love the song though,*

John's Comments:- What an incredible end to the series!

Again, a score of contrasts. I think that score is enough to put her top of the leaderboard, speaking of which, for the final time, let's have a look at it:-

LEADERBOARD:-

1st- Charlene White and Neil Jones = 110/120 (36 + 38 + 36)
2nd- Katy Perry and Aljaz Skorjanec = 107/120 (36 + 33 + 38)
3rd- Tom Daley and Oti Mabuse = 103/120 (31 + 36 + 36)
4th- Liam Payne and Chloe Hewitt = 101/120 (30 + 35 + 36)
