Possibly not the most popular thing to say, but nevertheless true, is that most couples do 10-dance if they are not outstanding enough at one or other style to make it to the top. Strangely, although Flavia and Vincent were amazing when dancing a cabaret or demonstration, they seldom managed to deliver in a competition.
The exception for F&V was showdance - yet another style competition - where they had the floor to themselves, and could do what they liked, including lifts etc.
Edit: Sorry, I have just noticed that this has already been answered.
