Well done Barry. You've done brilliantly

Not liking the format for the final.

We have to choose 2 of our previous songs from the season. Thata bit boring for a final.

How about choosing just one of our previous songs along with the showdance. And maybe add a valentines love dance? Seeing as it will be around valentines day by the time the final gets under way.

Well you lot who made the final you all decide on a theme each. Then you can each choose a song for each of those themes. How does that sound?

[Alf]

I'm happy to go with any one of our dances from the previous rounds. A Valentines love dance and a showdance.

That would be my suggestion. If anyone else wants to add their opinions, then let's hear them?

[Kate!]

I'd suggest what Alf said about a Valentine dance and a showdance. But no songs from previous rounds. They've already been judged and scored. Seems pointless. A new theme for the final please

[parmnion]

I'm happy with the final as it is....ive already sent as well.

[Vanessa]

I don't mind. Whatever the majority wants then we will do.

[Cherie]

The final is judged by an anonymous poll of the showdance, so it does seem a bit pointless sending the previously judged songs though I realise you want to stay true to the format of strictly....I am happy either way but it seems a waste of the judges time its the public poll will decide

[Cherie]

I guess what you could do because there are never that many votes on the public poll is have one final dance with a valentine theme judged by the judges and the showdance on the public poll and add the votes together for the winner?

[parmnion]

Any theme other than valentines and I'm fine with it.

[Maru]

A public vote would be more interesting and includes judges so already if they vote so... I think the finalists did well enough to survive our hodgepodge of judging to this point that bringing it to the public would be nice... i dont know how strictly does it, though.

Personally I'd love to see how public vote responds to the full roster of songs/dances... it could be spoilered and treated as a portfolio for each dancer to inform on their unique selections and then that could inform the final vote, but not decide it?

*Also please leave voting open a bit longer to torture the dancers and amuse posters.. I can't post much on forum right now, but judges can tag others to come vote also...

+1 valentines theme

[Strictly Jake]

So confused.

[Strictly Jake]

You know what as a host I'm going to have to reign control

So I'm getting the vibe you don't want repeat performances

Therefore there will be two themes

Love & Hate

First theme is love, romance what have you

Second theme is Hate, betrayal, cheaters, evil whatever

Whoever is placed as the top two from the judges scores will then go through to showing their show dance which the winner will be decided by an anonymous public poll. Dances coming shortly.

I'm sure some of you may not agree with this but if we keep arguing about it it's gonna take forever

[Vanessa]

But shouldn't everyone get the chance to do the showdance? As finalists?
I'm sure it was like this during the last game

But then again what would the point of the judges scoring be?

They judge the new theme songs.
But usually the winner is decided by a poll?

Ok fair enough all of the showdances will enter the poll. Right I'll send dances tomorrow

[Strictly Jake]

I've sent dances. Need songs sending back plus showdance choices. Thanks

[Vanessa]

I'll try to do it after work.

[Cherie]

Are you going to do the poll for the showdances first Jake, would make the final scores more interesting if the judges scores were revealed afterwards I think? you show though so your call
