Erin and Maks.

Nicole and Derek

I admit I am surprised because even though Evan had a bad freestyle, he did well all season and Olympic champions have always won in the past. Congratulations to Nicole and Derek. They looked surprised!

I'm glad Nicole won. Yes, she was already a dancer but Evan's background certainly helped him significantly too. Evan's latin was shockingly bad at times IMO. His cha cha would have been a disaster if it hadn't been a futuristic one. Evan was really quite rude to Anna at times (not just in the final). I didn't particularly take to either Nicole or Evan as people - neither were very charismatic.

Yayyy!!! Best dancer finally won! Pity about the slip in the freestyle, otherwise it would've been perfect. I was very surprised at how Evan & Anna's freestyle imploded, their argument certainly didn't help. Erin & Maks... well, I don't know what Maks was thinking but I can't imagine a freestyle to a slow song winning the viewers' votes. He could've done much better, she was a cheerleader and could've used that to their advantage!

I would have liked Evan & Anna to win but he blew it with that Freestyle, I think. However, the best dancer won, regardless of whether people think she was a professional dancer or not.

I know Nicole has come in for a lot of stick during the series for being a dancer - though not a bb/Latin dancer - [so was Erin] but the fact remains that she mastered the technique of the dances in a way that Evan failed to. Up to and including the semi, his feet were pretty awful at times which completely spoiled the look of his dancing, and overall I don't think he grew from week one as much as I thought he would. So I'm pleased Nicole won, & look forward to seeing the show at the weekend.

A professional dancer crowned winner. A total joke.

about Anna and Evan freestyle - it wasn't very good and he is isn't very good at latin anyway and that is why I don't agree with the bold part. I think if Evan & Anna had done a beautiful ballroom freestyle they might have won.

The problem with Maks and his freestyle is that he always pick to do a dance that he does actuallyspecialise in - with Mel he did hip hop and with Erin Lyrical/Contemporary. if Lacey, for example did a lyrical freestyle with the right celeb it could win.

I think it was the best final 3 yet, and I was glad all the freestyles were so different to each other I just wish that the freestyles in both dwts and scd would stop being so lift orientated my fav freestyle have been Tom & Camilla's, Zoe & Ian and Jill & Darren - they were all unique and showed off the dancing rather than the lifting.

So glad Nicole and Derek won even though I liked the most of the cast I thought they were the best and gave some memorable dances so were worthy winners
