For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I chose not to watch it as I found it very very unfair that that lad Perri was on the show. He had so much advantage over everybody in that he has been dancing in Diversity from he was about 7 or 8 years old. So surely he has been very strong. Strong back, legs, torso and thighs. No not fair at all.
A lovely result indeed, Patsy. I've adored Perri since I first saw him dance......Libby has brought tears to my eyes. How she became such a wonderful skater is beyond belief.
Joe went from useless to fantastic. That was one reason I had him down to win. The other was the Chaplin routine tonight. It was beautiful. Much as I admired Perri's skating and routine performances I think Joe just had the edge.....and his asking for the Be Kind poster was thoughtful and a measure of the guy.
I'll miss my DOI evenings...they've been bliss....x

Who wins has to be more than just a decision on pure skating ability - it has to also reflect on progress from Day 1 of the competition through to the final performances.
Perri was a fantastic showman (and an excellent skater) - but a lot of his routines were just his gymnastic dancing routines modified for ice. Despite some of the 'behind the scnes' footage seeming to show him being in trouble, his was a smooth evolution from an already very good skater.
Joe (whose public persona is of a type which I routinely detest) was seriously crap at the start - and appeared to be incapable of improving much. But I have nothing but respect for the many hours of solid, hard work which he must have put in (off camera) to become not just competent but (by the final week) genuinely very good.
The Chaplinesque routine he did in the final was easily the best single routine I've seen in any series of DoI - for that alone he deserved to win.
Libby was just beyond praise - tears in the eyes and jaw-dropping moments at several points in her skating - inspirational hardly covers it.
