And here is the wildest of the wild cards.
We are going to state it right here: Fleur is the most exciting dancer this year. She has that va-va-voom of a pop dancer: all impact and immediacy. As such, she has been critiqued for putting power ahead of finessing.
Her road to this point has had more highs and lows than a Mariah Carey concert. Fleur and Vito have topped the leaderboard twice (and recently too) but they have been in the dance off three times. For some reason, the public are just not voting for Fleur – and it’s frustrating because when she gets it right, she is mesmerising.
We remain undecided on her chances. Part of us thinks, even if she gets to the final (AS SHE SHOULD) why would the public vote for her now, when they haven’t already. But the other part of us reckons, Fleur has the WOW factor that could just cause an upset in the final when compared to duller dances. Who doesn’t want to see a Fleur and Vito showdance!!!
With odds of 40/1, we’d say that’s not a bad little flutter.
