BIB This over-the-top description makes me smile.

lol no
I think Claudia would've coped with any nerves from her day job, her Charleston would have been a big crowd pleaser and could've been complemented with her VW maybe. We'll never know for sure, but I suspect she would've stood a better chance of winning than Danny or Louise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LorNcQdfX18 I doubt if she would have been anywhere near as nervous as she was at Rio, the good thing about this experience is she has gained confidence which I think she had lost a little this year in her gymnastics. |

Yes I think she would have brought a far better performance than Louise who to me looked flat/tired on Saturday.

IMO her getting 40 did not suit the agenda of the Producers.

I've seen a few professional dancers chime in on how brilliant Claudia's QS was. That it wouldn't have looked out of place at a competition. I saw the same sort of comments for Jay's jive. I think that answers the question about whether she could have competed.

I LOVED her QS, and I loved her energy and determination to learn. She wasn't quite there though. She needed a couple of weeks perhaps.
I think she'd have handled it fine, and done as well as Louise, but not better. And I hate gymnastic showdances and I suspect she would have done one. But she did seriously well, and with the QS she proved she is a dancer. |

Funny how people's opinions differ - my thoughts are basically the complete opposite of yours.
For me this was one of the best finals Strictly's ever had, all three were worthy finalists, but Ore was best on the night. The judges' thoughts are always irrelevant. To answer the OP's question, no, I don't think Claudia would have been able to compete tonight. I don't think she's as good a dancer as either Ore or Louise, and I don't think AJ would have been able to resist making their showdance a gymnastics-fest. The great joy of tonight for me was seeing three showdances that showcased how good the celebrities were at dancing rather than just being packed full of crazy lifts. Claudia would have looked a bit out of place for me. ![]() That said I think she'd have been better than Louise but she wouldn't have won - a lift-heavy showdance would have seen to that. |

She was as good as any of the others, bar danny. Who knows what she might have achieved in the final....
She still could have won had she been given any impetus in the semi final from the biased judges, who didn't see her as part of the final. Her QS was superb, her charleston and AT vastly underrated. Only downside was her jive at blackpool and I blame AJ for that. He was too busy showing off instead of making sure they were in sinc! But that was a blip on an upward curve that wasn't matched naturally by any of the others in the last five. |

Especially when AJ said on ITT that in her showdance if they got to do it her feet wouldn't touch the floor. Another lift heavy showdance - whoopy effing do
That said I think she'd have been better than Louise but she wouldn't have won - a lift-heavy showdance would have seen to that. AJ didn't choreograph the salsa, Charleston or AT. The only lifts he did choreograph were I the AS which weren't especially flashy. Judging by his BGT routines with Chloe, I think the show dance would have been a mix of fairly traditional Latin. |

I expect though that AJ would, as he had done the entire series, seamlessly integrate Claudia's skills into an authentic ballroom and/or latin performance. (Yes, yes, we know the Cha Cha and Jive weren't great) |

This was a sub-par final. There was no intensity or excitement and it seemed really obvious that the judges wanted Ore to win. In the end it was Danny that should've won based on tonight's performances and, just like Kellie last year, he lost out.
To answer your original question, yes Claudia and AJ would've totally been able to compete with that and no doubt in my mind their show dance would've stolen the show. No matter what happened in the end, Claudia was still a better dancer than both Ore and Louise. Definitely not a sub-par final. Standard of dancing way above that of previous years in the Series 4 up to 11 years. Intensity and excitement are purely subjective and if you didn't like the result, well tough, millions of us did. Another sourpuss post. Amazing how much vinegar is around these days post-Brexit. |

The height difference was always awkward and ugly to watch. Claudia had too few facial expressions and Danny simply suffered from peaking too early in the public sympathy vote.

It's no secret that in the final many found Louise underwhelming (particularly the Cha Cha and showdance...AT better), Danny messed up his Quickstep and Ore had two similar styles. I do genuinely believe we've had higher standards in other finals. Anyway, give me a shot of vinegar over a blue pill any day
