Judges' choice, couples' choice, showdance. With the final being one long show this year, it looks like this year we might return to the showdance being the last dance this year.

My guesses for judges' and couples' picks:

Claudia & AJ - possibly her Samba for judges' pick, if not one of her early ballrooms - Waltz or Foxtrot. Charleston for couples' pick.
Danny & Oti - Cha-Cha-Cha for judges' pick (maybe his Foxtrot due to the 'screwed it up first time round' factor, but since it was a Halloween dance I doubt it). Harder to tell for couples' choice - Paso or Quickstep maybe?
Louise & Kevin - Cha-Cha-Cha for judges' pick too, maybe? Possibly the Rumba since they were talking about it in her second VT? Argentine Tango seems likely for couples' pick, although her Paso and AS could also be in contention.
Ore & Joanne - Presuming Jive for couples' choice, the judges might go with his AS?

agree with above but for Ore maybe his salsa as a judges pick? (ie room for improvement)

Couples Choice:
Claudia & AJ: Charleston

My perfect scenario for Danny and Oti would be:

Judges Pick - Quickstep (likely since Darcey said she regretted not marking it a 10)
Contestants Pick - Samba

Tbh I don't think repeating the foxtrot would do them any good, it's hardly an exciting dance style and I REALLY hope the judges don't choose it for them.

My spoiler-free guesses for the final (should they make it) are:

Ore....
JIVE + Singing in the rain + a suitable showdance.... = Wow! That will take some beating!

Danny...
That awful, ugly, noisy Samba + overrated non-Charleston + Botox-themed-showflop =

Louise...
Yawn + KEV'S WIG! + ZZZzzz... Robert-Webb-Flash-Dance-THIGH-fest? =

Claudia...
Sublime Charleston + best-QS-ever-seen-on-SCD + jaw+dropping showdance =

Pixie...
Gorgeous Rumba + Superb Foxtrot + epic-party-showdance =

Anita...
The Gleb Special + Amazing Paso + Gleb-showdance! + Gleb + Anita + Rani + Gleb =

Quentin Wilson...
Cha cha cha + Cha cha cha + Cha-cha-cha-based-showdance =

Austin Healey...
Terms & conditions

Gethin...
Interviews & tea-duties

Oksana...
In my living room

Katya (VIRSHILAS, not ex-Balls-fodder!)...
In my other living room

Erm... Oops. Sorry, what was this thread about?? Oh yes, The SCD Grand Final 2016...

Best of luck to each & every one of them. Hurrah!

I hope judges pick for Danny & Oti is the foxtrot I enjoyed it even with mistakes but I'd love to see them nail it

Cloudia judges' choice: Viennese personal choice: Charleston
Danny judges' choice: quickstep personal choice: samba
Lou judges' choice: waltz personal choice: Argentine
Ore judges' choice: Smooth personal choice: jive

Think judges will just go for ones they liked/want to see again as opposed to room for improvement ones this year. They have hardly been consistent with how they chose their picks in the past.

Show dances:

Tricky

Cloudia: gymnastic tricks, think her jive with bells on
Danny: upbeat disco tempo, think Jay's with more tricks
Lou: contempowaft? Gawd help us
Ore: white top hat and tails old school

But I would vote for whoever did the closest to puppetgate/snow dance or a medley of styles. Or Anita or Will's salsa fusion type.

According to someone on the spoiler thread Ore and Jo have chosen the Jive. Louise and Kevin the AT. They didn't hear Danny's choice.

I think

Judges choice:
Danny: Foxtrot
Louise: Rumba
Ore: Tango (with updated Choreography)


Fave dance
Danny:Samba (or Quickstep if they think there's no point as repeating a dance they already got 40 in)
Louise Argentine Tango
Ore:Jive
