Alesha and Matthew's showdance beats Tom and Camilla's
I think I agree with you. Alesha and Matthew dancing a Paso showdance - that's got to be hard to beat. Matthew's arms (shaping & sweeping) practically win it on their own, and Alesha ain't bad either! Great partnership.

I agree. I'm not an Adele fan so wasn't sure if I'd like this but I loved their dance, so much content. And the mirror was used brilliantly without overtaking the dance, or being used to do less dance as props can be. The dramatic pushing over at the end with Oti jumping through was inspired. The fire and ice motif running through, with Oti gradually bringing Danny's personailty into the fire of hers until at the end there was no mirror between them, they were together, mirrored their strictly journey.... of Oti gradually bringing out Danny's natural reserve and fire. Yes I loved it.
The only one thing that could have made it better was if the mirror had smashed all over the place at the end but health and safety and 7 years bad luck and all that perhaps not. These two have been the best pairing ever for me...I want a dvd of all their dances please Santa.

Was it better than Tom and Camilla's? I have no idea as they were so different but I love them both.
I'm going to see if I can get all their dances onto a DVD. I'll just get Christmas over first! I won't do the interviews as that takes up too much space. I will put a message on the AT. I have done this before with Gethin and Jay.

Hear Hear! They positively fizzled and she danced her heart out!
I totally agree the choreography and dancing was sublime. I miss Artem his artistry was second to none, he wont come back though as DWTS in the states love him.

I disagree and Mattesha did botch one of the lifts a bit - just saying.

Hmm, we could switch and talk about most memorable - but if we do that then the Bacofoil incident would come up and I'm not sure I can afford to lose all that time rereading the threads from that weekend

Tom and Camilla's showdance is still the best for me - but I will admit I also really liked Jason and Kristina's! Caroline's was also memorable, and brilliantly done. Very few showdances stick in my memory but all of those do.
I liked Jason's too - I think Kristina was always underated as a chereographer - Harry's wasn't too shaby either but Tomilla's still the gold standard for me. I'll also defend Kevin that Frankie's was a good rountine she couldn't quite pull off - I don't think Louise was showy enough to pull off any sort of showdance sadly. I remember watching them all with hubbie and we liked Frankie's routine more but Caroline's did a better job of showing her off which in the end is what a showdance is supposed to do. If you think Danny's was manic it was sedate compared to Abbey Clancey's.

Tom & Camilla's showdance is the only one that I remember, so for me that was the best....

IMO Danny lost the final because of the showdance & Ore won it with his

The casual voting viewer would be more likely to enjoy Ore's showdance over Oti's contemporary routine. Apparently there were around 35% of floating voters to seduce & Jo was clever enough to play to this audience.

This is why Ore won and Danny IMO came 2nd
Agree 100%
