Strictly 2017 Grand Final Discussion Thread

[Nicky91]

4 couples remaining, 1 winner and 3 runner ups


3 dances each couple, and a guest performance from Ed Sheeran, and a group dance from all our eliminated dance couples :hee:

[GoldHeart]

Good luck to the 4 finalists :)

[Jase.]

Joe's odds shortening across the board now! :love:

[Morgan.]

Wow Gemma has to win this :love:

[arista]

At least its Live
makes a big change for the BBC.

[Wizard.]

Alex better be first in each round of dances then

[hijaxers]

Well that was very nicely danced , credit where its due.

[Wizard.]

I’m really torn between Alexandra and Debbie and that’s probably why Joe will win.

[Wizard.]

My heart has decided Debbie has to win

[hijaxers]

My heart has decided Debbie has to win

Aww ya not seen Joe yet

[Wizard.]

Aww ya not seen Joe yet

He’s so overrated and the third best dancer left.

[joeysteele]

Predictable voting.

[King Gizzard]

Craig :worship:

[King Gizzard]

Gemma should be 4th

The worst left by quite a considerable distance

[hijaxers]

Predictable voting.

Yeah i said this is gonna be a 39 and it was

[LukeB]

Gemma is amazing and she is the only non-trained dancer there.

[hijaxers]

Gemma is amazing and she is the only non-trained dancer there.

That was massively improved

[Morgan.]

Gemma a true underdog :clap1: Gemma to win :love:

[RileyH]

Gemma is amazing and she is the only non-trained dancer there.

:clap1:

[King Gizzard]

8 9 9 9

[Crimson Dynamo]

Im watching Daddys Home

classic Christmas comedy

[hijaxers]

39

[Morgan.]

Im watching Daddys Home

classic Christmas comedy

Irrelevant

[LukeB]

:clap1:

People need to remember that, thats probably why Gemma isn't seen a strong dancer when she does amazingly well :love:

[Morgan.]

1000 :fc:

[King Gizzard]

The winner

[stewartf]

Gem likely to get all the sympathy vote. The reference to baby elephant will go down well. Alexandra's four 10s will not go down well.

[Morgan.]

What was Gemma's score I missed it :worry:

[hijaxers]

Tuck that tush in Joe.

[LukeB]

What was Gemma's score I missed it :worry:

9,9,10,10 = 38

[hijaxers]

Joe is much improved on this one too , so nice to see how much better they have become.

[stewartf]

Joe's Dr Zhivago will storm most of the votes. One handsome guy v three girls and girls voting.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Irrelevant

:nono:

It did really well at the boxoffice

[King Gizzard]

THE PEOPLE’s CHAMP

[Wizard.]

Yeah but why does Alex get all the hate for having training but not Joe? Double standards cause he’s an attractive male.

[King Gizzard]

8 10 10 9

[Wizard.]

8 10 9 9

[hijaxers]

Joe's Dr Zhivago will storm most of the votes. One handsome guy v three girls and girls voting.

I don't find him at all handsome ???

[LukeB]

9 10 10 10

[Wizard.]

What’s with the audience booing is this CBB?

[King Gizzard]

Chizzy should have survived 4 weeks at the least

[BBUK-Fan]

Joe to win

[stewartf]

I don't find him at all handsome ???

Well tbf I'm no expert, I'm into girls. Gem's hot, so is Debs even at 59.

[LukeB]

:clap1:

[hijaxers]

Wow packed loads in there.

[LukeB]

She better do proud mary

[King Gizzard]

She’s really good

[joeysteele]

I'm voting for Joe.

[LukeB]

She better do proud mary

:clap1: yass

[BBUK-Fan]

Have the judges got calculators? To work out the scores when added up to encourage viewers to vote Alexandra?

[hijaxers]

Way to much ballet and being swung round there for me.

[BBUK-Fan]

Too much ballet and basically what she did so not good

[Smithy]

Trained ballet dancer doing ballet eh? :think:

[Wizard.]

WINNER

[hijaxers]

Totally unimpressed by that sorry Debbie - regardless of your score

[LukeB]

I was expecting more other than loads of ballet.

[Wizard.]

WHo fuqin cares if she did ballet the show dance is meant to represent them she’s not gonna dance to death metal is she?!?

[stewartf]

WINNER

Don't mind if she wins..reckon the Giovanni toyboy thing has been a great side show.

[Morgan.]

Gemma is SLAYING

[LukeB]

That was better than Debbie's Craig :nono:

[Wizard.]

I agree with Craig. I’d give it a 7

[hijaxers]

That was better than Debbie's Craig :nono:

It was but it went a bit wrong at the end, bloody brilliant though !

[stewartf]

Gemma is SLAYING

Craig you have just won Gem 10,000 extra votes.

[RileyH]

WHo fuqin cares if she did ballet the show dance is meant to represent them she’s not gonna dance to death metal is she?!?

:joker:

[Morgan.]

Just gave Gem all 24 of my votes, you get 6 per account this week.

[Wizard.]

Does Bruno not pay attention to the dance and just sneak peek at what Shirley is giving?

[stewartf]

Just gave Gem all 24 of my votes, you get 6 per account this week.

Plus my 6...so she's got 30 at least.

[Morgan.]

Gem not doing her Charleston </3 But her Blackpool dance was amazing as it is so I'm happy :)

[Morgan.]

Plus my 6...so she's got 30 at least.

Get some more accounts, they don't verify email addresses :joker: that's why I get so many!

[Wizard.]

Thought I had switched over to Channel 5 showing a cheap Cinderella panto then

[Wizard.]

It’s a shame that the best dancer, as scored by professional dancers, will probably get the least votes for being a confident black woman!

[LukeB]

my favourite dance of the series :flutter:

[hijaxers]

It’s a shame that the best dancer, as scored by professional dancers, will probably get the least votes for being a confident black woman!

I'm quite baffled why we have to keep bringing colour into this , no ones colour should come into a dance competition , she has as much chance of winning tonight as everyone else , i think she may well win. Nowt to do with skin colour just ability.

[Smithy]

It’s a shame that the best dancer, as scored by professional dancers, will probably get the least votes for being a confident black woman!

Brexit Britain at its finest!

[Wizard.]

I’m voting for Alex after that

[hijaxers]

That deserved 40 Hope she gets it.

[LukeB]

Chizzy wanting to cry in the background :love:

[Smithy]

Sob story here we go :rolleyes:

[Morgan.]

This Finale is so boring

[stewartf]

I'm quite baffled why we have to keep bringing colour into this , no ones colour should come into a dance competition , she has as much chance of winning tonight as everyone else , i think she may well win. Nowt to do with skin colour just ability.

The winner was black last year.

[hijaxers]

The winner was black last year.

Yes exactly but year after year with BB etc... people always bring it up and i don't get why ?

[Smithy]

I'm quite baffled why we have to keep bringing colour into this , no ones colour should come into a dance competition , she has as much chance of winning tonight as everyone else , i think she may well win. Nowt to do with skin colour just ability.

Black females are portrayed as aggressive/bitchy/diva-ish when that isn’t the case, men are not, men are never vilified to the extent that women are

[Wizard.]

I’m not sure what Alesha Dixon’s reception was but that was ages ago

[GoldHeart]

Final prediction Joe will probably win he's extremely popular and I think he's going to lift the glitter ball . But well done Alexandra & Debbie for getting to the final :thumbs: .
And good luck to all 4 of them :clap1: .

[lewis111]

Still don't get why Joe is so popular
Alex is a much better dancer, Debbie is the biggest shock of the series and we've never seen the oldest get to final I don't think, and Gemma is probabaly the most improved
Joe is just a "nice guy" who puts no personality into his dances

[stewartf]

Black females are portrayed as aggressive/bitchy/diva-ish when that isn’t the case, men are not, men are never vilified to the extent that women are

I think Alexandra has been quite bubbly lately...Gorka does her no favours, he seems very quiet and moody. You vote for a couple and Aljaz and Giovanni show so much chemistry with their partners and enthusiasm by contrast.

[stewartf]

Jeeze Gemma has exceeded expectations. We knew tbe other three would nail it.

[BBUK-Fan]

Joe to win!

[Morgan.]

Joe to win!

Wrong. You meant to say Gemma.

[Wizard.]

Joe is NOWHERE near as good as Jay or Ore he’d be one of the worst winners.

[hijaxers]

Joe to win!

Sorry but Joe is not my winner.

[Morgan.]

They just leaked the result and Gem won obviously :clap1:

[Morgan.]

Joking I'm just practicing that moment.

[LukeB]

1.Alexandra
2.Gemma
3.Joe
4.Debbie

[LukeB]

Alexandra and Gemma have both impressed me with all of their dances

Joe 2/3
Debbie 1/3

[Morgan.]

Gemma has gone from 4th to 2nd in The Strictly Spoiler poll :clap1:

[BBUK-Fan]

Wrong. You meant to say Gemma.

I said Joe and meant Joe. Gemma is naff

[BBUK-Fan]

Sorry but Joe is not my winner.

I didn't ask you

[Morgan.]

I said Joe and meant Joe. Gemma is naff

I didn't ask you

No need to get on the defensive over it we are sharing our opinions like you have done

[GoldHeart]

Still don't get why Joe is so popular
Alex is a much better dancer, Debbie is the biggest shock of the series and we've never seen the oldest get to final I don't think, and Gemma is probabaly the most improved
Joe is just a "nice guy" who puts no personality into his dances

:clap1: .

Joe will win because viewers like him alot , he's just popular maybe they fancy him :joker:. I don't care if he wins . The final is a huge achievement for Alexandra & Debbie and I'm happy for them :) .

[Amy Jade]

12 for Alexandra

[Morgan.]

Show over Gemma won

[King Gizzard]

Think Debbie's got this

Shame

[stewartf]

5:clap1: .

Joe will win because viewers like him alot , he's just popular maybe they fancy him :joker:. I don't care if he wins . The final is a huge achievement for Alexandra & Debbie and I'm happy for them :) .

Comes down to personality and Joe's got it. Alexandra let down by Gorka imo...Aljaz and Giovanni connect better with their partners. She could have shone with say Giovanni...Gorka's thoughts were elsewhere apparently.

[LukeB]

Ruth won

[Morgan.]

I love when they get random people off the street who've never watched SCD and get them to say Stuart and Patricia's Jive from Week 8 was their favourite :joker:

[Morgan.]

I'm praying for the vote counter to accidentally forget to log a few of Alexandra's, Debbie's and Joe's votes and then fall asleep and get the intern to log all votes for Gemma so she wins

[Wizard.]

Voted for Alex 100 times

[Morgan.]

Voted for Alex 100 times

The Vanessa of Alexandra Burkes?

[Wizard.]

The Vanessa of Alexandra Burkes?

Yes!

[Amy Jade]

Change Your Life :love:

[Morgan.]

Do you reckon the contestants have arguments like 'OI SUSAN I BOOKED THIS REHEARSAL SPACE GET OUT'

[Amy Jade]

Do you reckon the contestants have arguments like 'OI SUSAN I BOOKED THIS REHEARSAL SPACE GET OUT'

I heard Joe threatened to kneecap Debbie

[GoldHeart]

Voted for Alex 100 times

Joe will win but that's amazing that you voted for Alexandra :cheer2:. I voted online and through phone more than 40 times :) . Well done Alexandra runner up is still an achievement :clap1: .

[RileyH]

I heard Joe threatened to kneecap Debbie

:joker:

[LukeB]

Remember when Anton's album outsold Matt Terry's?

[Wizard.]

Isn’t there usually three couples in the final?

[Wizard.]

They better release statistics!

[smudgie]

Good luck to them all, great finalists and a very entertaining evening:dance:

[GoldHeart]

Isn’t there usually three couples in the final?

There's 4 now. And last year would of been 4 as well but Will Young quit which changed their ellimination system.

[Wizard.]

There's 4 now. And last year would of been 4 as well but Will Young quit which changed their ellimination system.

It’s just annoying that they don’t release the placings.

[GoldHeart]

They better release statistics!

Are you a new SCD fan? , They've never and will never release a voting stats which is frustrating:joker: but oh well:shrug: .

[Amy Jade]

Ew

[Amy Jade]

Mediocre winner

[smudgie]

:dance::cheer2::cheer2::dance: Yessss..:dance::cheer2::dance::cheer2::dance::chee r2::dance::cheer2:

[GoldHeart]

It’s just annoying that they don’t release the placings.

I feel the same way but they've been doing it like this for a while now . But I've never seen them release a voting stats :rolleyes: . Even XF & IAC release theirs so I've no idea why Strictly won't:conf: .

[LukeB]

Alexandra </3

but i'm glad Debbie didn't win

[hijaxers]

OMG shocked totally not my winner

[lewis111]

All female 2k17 cancelled (But Alex got the highest points so she was real winner)

[Wizard.]

I feel the same way but they've been doing it like this for a while now . But I've never seen them release a voting stats :rolleyes: . Even XF & IAC release theirs do I've no idea why Strictly won't:conf: .

Maybe it’s rigged? I don’t trust the Bollocks Broadcasting Channel.

Did Coleen Nolan kick off the year with an unpredictable win just to leave the rest of 2017 predictable for TV winners?

[arista]

Joe to win!


you got your wish

[stewartf]

OMG shocked totally not my winner

It was a banker as I've said all week Likeable beats dancing ability. Plus the only chap for the ladies to vote for.

[Amy Jade]

So the BBC have produced the worst winners in RTV this year with this bloke and whichever one of the final 2 win the Apprentice

[BBUK-Fan]

you got your wish

Sure did :)

[BBUK-Fan]

Joe won! Yas. Told you

[King Gizzard]

Great winner

One of the least well known contestants as well, great achievement

[MB.]

Joe was the second best choice (no prizes for guessing who was the best) so yay woo etc

[lewis111]

So the BBC have produced the worst winners in RTV this year with this bloke and whichever one of the final 2 win the Apprentice

Rak Su and her that won the bake off weren't great either tbh
Thank God for Toff, Issy and Sarah

[BBUK-Fan]

Great winner

One of the least well known contestants as well, great achievement

Yas!

[lewis111]

I highly doubt SCD is fixed in anway as it almost always has the most predictable winner win in the final
Idk why the BBC is so against releasing voting stats it's weir

[Amy Jade]

Joe won! Yas. Told you

Add him to your sig he'll be in similar company...

[stewartf]

Great winner

One of the least well known contestants as well, great achievement

The public vote for a couple....Katya wouldn't have done him any favours. He had to get there off his own popularity so well done Joe. Gorka didn't help Alexandra where as I believe the ever popular Aljaz and Giovanni gave their partners a great chance.

[chuff me dizzy]

Shirley and Bruno were both gutted,they didn't even try to hide it :dance::dance::dance:

[Amy Jade]

Rak Su and her that won the bake off weren't great either tbh
Thank God for Toff, Issy and Sarah

Sophie deserved to win and Rak who?

[Vanessa]

:hehe:Shirley and Bruno were both gutted,they didn't even try to hide it :dance::dance::dance:

[Vanessa]

Great result. I like Joe :love:

[MB.]

Shirley and Bruno were both gutted,they didn't even try to hide it :dance::dance::dance:

And here I was thinking you'd stop inventing the things you want to see the minute the series ends

Some things never change, I guess!

[RileyH]

Not watched yet but :( @ Joe winning

[BBUK-Fan]

Add him to your sig he'll be in similar company...

Didn't ask you for an opinion so keep it away

[RileyH]

Add him to your sig he'll be in similar company...

:joker:

[hijaxers]

Not watched yet but :( @ Joe winning

Yeah how did that happen ? I would have placed him 4th in all honesty.

[BBUK-Fan]

:joker:

Your favourite didn't win so don't be a fool

[BBUK-Fan]

Yeah how did that happen ? I would have placed him 4th in all honesty.

He was better than all of them. Gemma was 4th

[LukeB]

Yeah how did that happen ? I would have placed him 4th in all honesty.

myself 3rd

Alexandra was THE best
Gemma was 2nd
Joe 3rd
Debbie 4th

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Not surprised, he and Katya were amazing all season, great partnership

Thank god Debbie lost, her sob **** was getting old.

[Jase.]

The correct person won. What a charming, lovely guy. AMAZING dancer too. Katya's a genius :love:

Over 400 quid richer too!


Thank god Debbie lost, her sob **** was getting old.

Right?

[DrunkerThanMoses]

The correct person won. What a charming, lovely guy. AMAZING dancer too. Katya's a genius :love:

Over 400 quid richer too!



Right?

Katya is amazing, how she can have 2 dance partners who are completely different but bring out both their strengths is just genius. From ed balls to strictly champion :cheer2:

She and Joe took risks which is a reason they won, they did routines that got people talking.. I mean this week no one in work was talking about Alex and her perfect 40 Salsa... no they was talking about that lift in the Argentine tango.

[hijaxers]

He was better than all of them. Gemma was 4th

Well he's from one of the dreadful hospital BBC shows so guess the BBC is happy, i'm pissed right off he won.

[GoldHeart]

Maybe it’s rigged? I don’t trust the Bollocks Broadcasting Channel.

Did Coleen Nolan kick off the year with an unpredictable win just to leave the rest of 2017 predictable for TV winners?

Well I've always said it's weird how they never release a voting stats , if anything you'd think the BBC would be happy for viewers to see just how close or far apart the voting is , so people won't suspect them of"rigging" :joker::shrug: .

It's definitely annoying and frustrating, so we'll never know who was really second,third & fourth and for some reason Strictly does NOT want us to know :suspect: .

Does BB release their voting stats?? .

[Jase.]

Katya is amazing, how she can have 2 dance partners who are completely different but bring out both their strengths is just genius. From ed balls to strictly champion :cheer2:

I believe what the kids say in a situation such as this is "welp"

942151714366423040

[LukeB]

Joe isn't gay is he?

[RileyH]

942151714366423040

oh wow what a ****

[Denver]

Nobody is gonna remember him a winner tbh

[GoldHeart]

:skull:

Joe isn't gay is he?

He's got a wife , maybe this person is thinking of his holby character?? I've no idea as I don't watch Holby and I don't care :sleep: .

[Matthew.]

The first person out was from Holby
The winner was from Holby

[MB.]

He's got a wife , maybe this person is thinking of his holby character?? I've no idea as I don't watch Holby and I don't care :sleep: .

I'm... er, not sure if you actually read the tweet if you think he was referring to his Holby character

[Mystic Mock]

He was better than all of them. Gemma was 4th

If we're being fair Gemma was easily the best tonight after having a quiet period during the series she really upped her game tonight.

Joe I thought was okay in every round, but not really standout.

Debbie was awful bar her Argentine Tango.

And Alexandra was good, but just never excited me.

[GoldHeart]

Nobody is gonna remember him a winner tbh

Hmm ... :shrug: , there's a few previous winners tbh who I find forgettable but other people like them so who knows :joker:.

[GoldHeart]

I'm... er, not sure if you actually read the tweet if you think he was referring to his Holby character

Ok but I don't care :joker:, and hasn't he got a wife?? :sleep:

[MB.]

Well either way the tweet's been deleted now so it didn't happen and we can't get sued

[Denver]

Ok but I don't care :joker:, and hasn't he got a wife?? :sleep:

Elton John had a wife

[MB.]

(if he does have a wife, she must really value her privacy, because she hasn't been seen on the show once)

[GoldHeart]

(if he does have a wife, she must really value her privacy, because she hasn't been seen on the show once)

Wow just shows how boring Joe must be if his sexuality is the main gossip now :joker:.
I don't care or know what Joe's private life is but when I googled him his wife popped up .

Anyway back to him winning SCD he's not my ideal winner as I wanted Alexandra to win but I knew he'd win , and all 4 should be proud of themselves.

[Lostie!]

I'm... er, not sure if you actually read the tweet if you think he was referring to his Holby character

Agreed, pretty obvious he was talking about Heartbeat

[Denver]

eI can confirm had Alexandra been white she would have won

[Nicky91]

Joe's Charleston: :cheer2: dance of the series for me wow :clap1: :clap1: 10/10

[lewis111]

Alex's jive was the best dance of the night and the entire series tho

[Nicky91]

Alex's jive was the best dance of the night and the entire series tho

:nono: that was Joe's Charleston


or Debbie's showdance

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Alex's jive was the best dance of the night and the entire series tho

Still say it was Joe and Katyas AT.... again thats all people talked about this week in work, and online, people copying that lift.

[LukeB]

:nono: that was Joe's Charleston


or Debbie's showdance

Debbie’s showdance was boring, too much ballet and spinning around, the others had more diverse in theirs

[Nicky91]

Debbie’s showdance was boring, too much ballet and spinning around, the others had more diverse in theirs

:rolleyes: i hated debbie's ballet moves in her other dances but in this showdance it was divine :flutter:


a homage to ballerina's let's call it

[GoldHeart]

Alex's jive was the best dance of the night and the entire series tho

:clap1:

[Denver]

So Gemma and Simon have been shagging
