Completely agree with the OP. Ore was amazing tonight, really was the best lerformer on the night, which doesn't usually mean they end up the winner, but he was so impressive in all three dances.

I really cannot praise Jo enough for teaching Ore to dance and perform the dance to such a high standard, starting from zero, I cannot really believe all they acheived.
I actually started clapping after their show dance.

Best dancer of the night and a performer who really loved dancing, which was lovely to watch.

I really thought Ore and Joanne were the most consistent overall this evening but was fully expecting (and no begrudging in any way!) a Danny and Oti win. I'm so pleased for Oti and Joanne in particular for getting to the final they've made some brilliant routines for their celebs and the level Jo has gotten Ore to has been brilliant.
Agreed entirely! Both Danny & Oti and Ore & Joanne have been absolutely brilliant, Oti and Jo have both had an outstanding series and I wouldn't have begrudged either couple winning.

I'm stupidly emotional tonight.

Ore really brought it, beautifully trained by Joanne who is a MAGNIFICENT teacher and choreographer.

I still didn't expect him to win, but I'm so so pleased with the PAIR of them.

Great, GREAT dancing tonight. Did me proud.

And the joy was so infectious.

Ore danced beautifully tonight. He was a joy to watch. One of the best finals for ages. And for the first time in ages the person I voted for won!!! I'm so pleased.
Haha, me too, have not had a win since Ramps!

I loved Danny and voted for him but Ore was excellent tonight. He brought it on the night when you have to shine. Based on tonight, he deserved to win because all three of his performances were genuinely enjoyable.

Also well done to all the people who made a lot of money betting on Ore. He was still 5/1 right before it was announced!
You are so right about bringing your best on the big night, that js exactly what he did and he must be so proud.
It is why I did not end up votng for Jay last year, not bringing his best dace, the jive, to the final, felt he was leaving his best in the game at home.

I've been happy Paso, American Smooth & jive dancing ever since the winner was announced.

I've fallen a bit in love with Ore this series & although I've not always liked his & Jo's performances, the majority of them have been scrumptious. Well done to the worthy winners & OMG what an amazing final with all couples pulling out fabulous dances.

Just watched the show back and agree about the high level of Ore's performance. Slightly concerned that all his dances were up tempo. I thought both the other contestants showed more of an all round dance ability.

I am so happy - I liked all the three celebs, but I wanted Ore to win and he was the best on the night.

It's nice as well that after the spiteful hammering he's taken the last few weeks for things that had nothing to do with him, that he should come through it victorious - I am so, so happy for him. And for Jo.
It was a real suprise he won for me tonight as I read the daily mail this morning and the amount of hatred thrown at him and Jo was awful, especially about Claudia leaving, he somehow had become responsible for it and the only way to combat it was to vote for Danny.

So I was blown away by his win tonight, I settled in to watch the show and only hoped ne would dance well and do himself and Jo proud, I never thought a win could be possible.

I think Danny normally comes across quite well; a nice guy having a good time doing something he loves. Tonight he seemed subdued, maybe a bit tense, until he danced his samba at the end, but possibly a lot of people had voted by them. A shame for Danny, but a great achievement for Ore who has had some disappointments along the way.
I think that maybe he could feel the win was within reach, he was the top scorer of the series, the bookies favourite, it was all on a plate for him, so he tensed up a bit.

For me, he went out at first not to lose and Ore went out to win it, and I think it made a big difference to the votes.
His samba was much better for him, but like you said, it came too late in the night.

I don't think that's the case at all, in fact I don't think he really cared about winning except that he wanted to win it for Oti - that much was clear from his interview on ITT last night and I think it was genuine.

I think the mistakes happened more from getting caught up in the moment rather than purely nerves, as the start of the dance was great and after the first mistake he really got into it, though either would have been understandable.

I think all of them were nervous though, Louise looked just as tense as Danny. I think Ore was the one who dealt with it best.

Completely honest here.

Danny DESPRATELY wanted to win (no judgement from me).

He's an (ex?) Hollyoaks actor who has some theatre experience (quite a bit) and wanted this gig as promotion.

This was a 'career move' for Danny, in a way that isn't true for either Ore or Louise.

It was a 'gig'.

I'm not saying that he is mean or will feel angry at not winning, but, like Tom Chambers, he wanted this to launch a WE career as a lead.


That's pretty obvious.

And I still think he has succeeded with this. He's done what he set out to do.

I only said that is what I believe. I still do and I also believe there is not one person ever, who makes that final and doesn't want to win. They all would love to win and when it is there for the taking, which it was for all three, you can let it bring out the best and you excel, or it could go wrong.

Danny had the most pressure on him, he was the clear favourite and he also was the highest scoring.

Him winning wouldn't have made or broken whether he gets a successful career off the back of this. Getting past Blackpool had already secured that goal I think - that's when the publicity aspect really ramps up, and getting to the final was all he needed to do. The win wouldn't have made any difference after that. Nothing I saw this week made me think he was desperate to win.

As was I I did say he clearly wanted to win for Oti, so of course on some level he wanted to win, I just don't think he was desperate to, and I don't necessarily think it was at the forefront of his mind the whole time. I'm sure he'd have been aware he was the favourite, but I think it must be a nerve-wracking and adrenaline-filled situation to be in regardless, so I think there'd have been the same possibility of him messing up even if he hadn't been the favourite.

I agree.

Danny and Oti's final dances are currently the most watched. I loved every single one of Danny and Oti's performances. Out of Ore and Danny, Danny has left the better legacy.

While Ore's showdance was good, it wasn't completely different from his AS.

Danny only wanted to win for Oti, so he will be disappointed for her but not for himself.

I had Louis but Ramps was the last time I had a win before that.

Nobody who reaches that final does not want to win it, for themselves as well.

It is laughable if you really believe that no part of him ever wanted to win it for himself.

He might have wanted to win it but not a lot. Not everyone is obsessed about winning. For some people, it really is the taking part that counts. Even though he didn't win, he didn't seem that gutted by the result.

From early on in the competition, I'm sure that Danny said that he didn't think that he would win. Also after being in the bottom two last week, I think that he realised that he wouldn't win.

You speak as if you know him and he's told you this himself?

The best man won imo and Ore & Jo's showdance was class. Jo is a smart lady.

To be fair, I think Danny said this in an interview that I saw,
