Thank you very much for all your votes.

Before the results are revealed, a little bit of admin

Having sifted through all the ballots, we ended up with 36 perfect entries which have gone on to make up the final results. Ballots containing any ties, "none's", "don't knows" or non-existent Anton & Lesley Rumbas() were disqualified.

I shall reveal the results piecemeal just to "break it up a bit" and also allow for any comments and/or reaction to particular results. One all are revealed, I shall round up with a full and comprehensive list of the winners.

So, without any further ado, the results of "The Dances of Series 14" are as follows:

Thank you for doing this jroos - I await the others with baited breath and it was nice to have an excuse to watch all of them again.

Glad to hear it em!

You're very welcome kat - and yes, the Youtube-style reveal was deliberate to keep the suspense and provide an excuse for a re-watch!!!

Don't be TOO sure Logopolis...

Well, if Lesley & Anton "did a rumba" then I suppose anything is possible...!!!

I'm guessing Ed wins salsa, Laura may well win tango (out of a not exactly bulging field) and Claudia will at least make a good run at winning quickstep. I do think there's a very strong chance Danny wins foxtrot just because there's no massively strong case for anyone else getting it and people will have defaulted to him. Maybe Rinder.

Which is a shame as it was my favourite dance of his (or anyone else for that matter) during the whole series. Take away the mistake and the choreography was stunning. Such a shame that he didn't get asked to do it as Judges' Choice in the Final.

Thanks for your hard work. I agree with Robert winning the foxtrot, but personally I wasn't keen on Ore's jive at all. It seemed to be the same thing all the way through. Even my husband said, "That isn't jive as I know it". We used to jive back in the 50s.

Overall I preferred Danny's dancing but Ore absolutely deserves top place for his Jive.

Other than that had to smirk at Claudia getting a high vote on Jive as it was pants.

That's what I thought. But, only 36 entries, so 3% (actually 2.7777777......%) is only 1 vote. There's always one.

Thank you for working that out. Context is all.

Are you pleased with the results so far?

But Danny did some good dances.

Glad Claudia got the QS mind.
