I honestly don't recall a year where the 'best dancers' didn't get to the final. A normal final, with a full complement of dancers, will generally see the cream float to the top.
There have been the odd surprise exits though. Remember Aston Merrygold & Dev Griffin. The former should definitely have been a finalist.

Just heard that Craig has tested positive for Covid and is self isolating. Unless they bring a replacement judge for this week, having only 3 judges could make for some interesting scoring.
As long as they don't bring in Donny Osmond or that chap from The Fresh Prince I won't miss Craig for one week. He's usually good at picking up technical and style failings but this week he was clearly not in a good mood and his scoring was miserable.

I heard on the news today that the absence of music during part of Rose's dance was a technical hitch when I thought it had been intentional. Either way it showed how she danced on regardless not knowing there was no music.
Certainly in the discussion I heard on R4 today about deafness and the arts, the silent portion of the performance was described as intentional … although it was pointed out that it was ‘symbolic’ rather that representational as most deaf people hear sounds, buf distorted, muffled and sometimes cacophonous due to horrendous tinnitus. My young relative who was severely hearing impaired said that there was never quietness in her head but there was nothing that she could hear … even with her powerful hearing aids all they could do was to make the sounds outside her head louder than the ones inside it.
