Very refreshing the final not so one sided this year which adds to the excitement of IMO a bit of an average series this year

It really is anyone's for the taking

I say average due to all the un-necessary twists they have implemented this year and some of the bizarre voting of the public

Ok the team challenge got the right two into the skate off, for the most part the twists really have fallen flat on their faces

But hey the right 3 have made it to the final and it really was heart in mouth when Laura and Colin did the head banger. Laura so perilously close to smashing her bonce

Johnson should never have got to the semi final in the first place, he was way out of his depth when it came to the solo skate and it showed big time

The results are in!

Chloe took third, so Sam & Laura skated Bolero!

And Sam wins DOI 2011...so the pattern continues!

A much more deserving winner than Hayley

Sam was the best dancer right from the very beginning...it just seemed to be that everyone else was catching him up!

Deserved winner regardless!

ITV have released the voting stats for the series - http://dancingonice.itv.com/2011/DailyN ... sults-1838

Look at that, absolute madness by the public on several weeks
