While off the record Graeme Richards remained the critics'darling and their favourite to win, and Lalla Hirayama was expected to win after his elimination, it was Zakeeya Patel and Ryan Hammond who danced to victory in the two hour 6th season finale of the format floor reality show on SABC3.
Thapelo Mokoena and Hayley Bennet as the third remaining couple was first to be eliminated in Wednesday evening's finale, following the judges request for "passion" and "commitment" on the final night.
