Didn't Ore's showdance go down a storm? Also, Danny bundled his quickstep? Maybe that's what swung it?I don't want to stir things up, but why didn't Danny win that year? I've just binged a lot of his dances and he has got to be one of the best, if not the best male celebrity. From the comments on the YouTube videos, it looks like it was a mix of having previous dance experience and being undermarked?
He made mistakes during the final.I don't want to stir things up, but why didn't Danny win that year?

There probably won't be the inclusion of Lisa and Brendan's expressions while they pleaded to be allowed to perform their showcase.I don’t remember this. May have to rewatch
Lisa and Brendan clearly believed it to be the best showdnace ever.Long time lurker and devoted Strictly fan. Just watched Lisa and Brendan’s show dance on YouTube. What have I just watched? There is a particularly awkward section of lifts halfway through and you get the impression the audience are cheering through relief than because it’s actually good. @Chita i remember the big fuss they made about performing it - it doesn’t compare to some of the recent show dances (Kelvin and Danny particularly).
Thank you! It’s even better than I remember because it’s so terrible but they think it’s amazing. I remember how over-praised Lisa was by the judges and this dance was the culmination of that. Everything about it is awful.Lisa and Brendan's showdance .... Look at their faces! They think this is SOOOO good!
Danny was in the semi-final dance-off, and that combined with the mistakes in his QS (I was gutted because it would have been a 40 if he’d done it right) and Ore’s showdance was enough for him to lose unfortunately. However, I suspect that the 2016 final was the closest vote the show has had. I can’t think of another contestant who is so universally considered to have been robbed the way Danny Mac is. It’s been four years and he’s still so loved, and rightfully so. The BBC don’t release voting statistics but I think it was very close between Danny and Ore.I don't want to stir things up, but why didn't Danny win that year?

And flying in Gene Kelly’s wife for the final was a special touch they didn’t extend to the other finalists...Also all the way through they’d made Ore the judge’s pet, and he cried after every dance which endeared him to a lot of viewers. They pushed the Cliftons too as the golden dancers. It was the first year it really seemed (to me anyway) that you could tell who the producers wanted to win. A couple of mistakes on Danny’s part shouldn’t have lost it for him. He should have won and that is the hill I am prepared to die on!!
Oh yes of course. Guess I’d blocked that out. Makes me rageAnd flying in Gene Kelly’s wife for the final was a special touch they didn’t extend to the other finalists...
Agree with every word.Also all the way through they’d made Ore the judge’s pet, and he cried after every dance which endeared him to a lot of viewers.

I was furious that they had a Gene Kelly lookalike and dancealike in Danny but they gave Ore the Gene Kelly routine and flew Mrs Kelly out for him and not Danny!And flying in Gene Kelly’s wife for the final was a special touch they didn’t extend to the other finalists...
That’s the first time I’ve seen Lisa and Brendan’s showdanceat one point it looked like he was struggling to lug a carpet down the stairs!
The amount of dislikes on this video is hilariousLisa and Brendan's showdance .... Look at their faces! They think this is SOOOO good!

Giovanni and his messy fringe is going to be the death of me. And I'm totally okay with that.
Oh my God I was laughing so much! It’s like a bad Eurovision entryLisa and Brendan's showdance .... Look at their faces! They think this is SOOOO good!
Other people remember the puppets! IRL people never remember the puppets and think I’m insane (I can see why)It really did set the tone for the show dances that were to come in future series, turning the show dance into a theatrical performance. They created something unique and it’s telling that so many of us still remember it twelve years later.
Does anyone else remember Lisa and Brendan’s showdance from the same night? They were eliminated and got to perform it as a farewell. Lisa was in a silver leotard and it was one of the strangest show dances I’ve ever seen (second only to Colin, Erin and those puppets).
I see your GioView attachment 361536
