Strictly 2018 Discussion Thread Grand Final at 6:30 on BBC1

[Vanessa]

yet he would be in the eliminated celebs group dance then, and they all usually do one of their better performance reprises for a tiny bit

I'll watch that on YouTube :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I was devastated for Charles Venn last weekend. Everyone knew the judges would save Ashley even though they criticised her dance the first time. Ashley's going all the way to the final before the public get a chance to vote her out.

Everyone else did so well, I loved all the dances. I was delighted for Lauren, her dance was charming.
I thought Joe quickstep was better than hers. Ashley's dance was very frantic, didn't really like it much.
Faye was amazing though.

[Nicky91]

Joe backstage was funny last night on ITT, in the behind the scenes at musicals week footage :D


Charles rooting for his mate Joe :shocked:

[Vanessa]

Joe backstage was funny last night on ITT, in the behind the scenes at musicals week footage :D


Charles rooting for his mate Joe :shocked:

Awww, bless him. :love: Joe has been training with ballroom shoes this week. So I'm wondering if he has argentine tango? But i want a rumba :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

I loved Lauren dance. She's brilliant at ballroom. But not so much on latin.

[Nicky91]

I loved Lauren dance. She's brilliant at ballroom. But not so much on latin.

look it is a strong year now, i am blessed that Lauren has gotten this far


Tango could be a good dance for her, she already had that good staccato feeling in her argentine tango the one bit she got right there

Samba yeah well she isn't a latin girl but she doesn't have dance disasters with that tbh, i think there they should just focus on getting the basics right, as for the quality performance they should focus on a truly amazing tango i think


foxtrot and rumba are not so much crowdpleasing dances so i think they made a good choice ditching those 2

Samba is really tough. Joe really struggled with it. It took very long hours in training to even manage an ok samba.

[Vanessa]

To be honest, i never thought Joe would get this far. This is mad! He's working so hard evey week and trying his very best.
I really want to go on the tour. They're coming to Wembley :amazed:

[Vanessa]

The tour line up will be confirmed this week. So far we have Stacey, Dr Rani and Joe.

[Nicky91]

Samba is really tough. Joe really struggled with it. It took very long hours in training to even manage an ok samba.

AJ knows this, but i don't think he alone decides what dances they are doing, they doomed him last year with this samba while he wanted the argentine tango alongside the waltz for Mollie

3 out of 3 semi finals is amazing for AJ anyway :clap2: this one with Lauren being most surprising, and most fun journey he had with her so far, his vlogs are really good :love: i think he is learning from Joe with the vlogging :hee:

[Vanessa]

I hope aj is doing the tour. I really want to see him dance live. I like him :love:

[Vanessa]

The best samba this year was Charles. It was fantastic!

[Nicky91]

I hope aj is doing the tour. I really want to see him dance live. I like him :love:

i saw on Oti's insta post before week 1, a picture of who's doing the tour and AJ was on that, same goes for Aljaz, Gorka, Neil, Janette, Dianne


he has his own tour in March 2019, so maybe he did schedule his own tour there, so he could do strictly tour which is in January/February



btw Louise Rainbow leaves strictly production team, replaced by another lady Sarah James

Not sure Lauren has the time to do the tour

[Vanessa]

Joe and Diane are taking over Joe sister Zoella Instagram later. So we might get some clues about his dances. I know at least one of them is ballroom.

[Nicky91]

Not sure Lauren has the time to do the tour

preparation for tokyo 2020 paralympics could come first for her


maybe they can bring in someone else for him then, Claudia or Mollie

i would love to see Claudia & AJ reunited at the strictly live tour :amazed:

[Denver]

Yes because Claudia will stop competing to take part in a tour

[Nicky91]

Yes because Claudia will stop competing to take part in a tour

gymnastics is tough for you, many gymnasts quit at a young age

[Vanessa]

Stacey and Aljaz will be weird. He's way too tall for her :shocked:

[Nicky91]

Stacey and Aljaz will be weird. He's way too tall for her :shocked:

yeah Stacey should've had AJ for the tour, he's better suited to her height wise and i also think personality wise they are a good match


but maybe AJ is dancing with Ashley, like Pasha has a tour with Anya right which is a very successful tour going on for a lot of years now :think:

[Denver]

Claudia aint gonna be quitting Gymnastics at 21

[Twosugars]

So do we think AJ is gay?
My gaydar says no but it's been wrong in the past so

[Nicky91]

So do we think AJ is gay?
My gaydar says no but it's been wrong in the past so

maybe we'll never know, he doesn't reveal much from his personal life, i don't blame him with all the gossip tabloids around it's better to keep a few secrets especially about your own life

[Twosugars]

maybe we'll never know, he doesn't reveal much from his personal life, i don't blame him with all the gossip tabloids around it's better to keep a few secrets especially about your own life

oh we will know, it's only a matter of time

[Vanessa]

Omfg, Joe is dancing argentine tango and viennese waltz! No rumba! Aaaaaaah :dance::dance::dance:

[Nicky91]

Lauren is doing the tour :amazed: :o :cheer2: :cheer2: OMG YASSSS unexpected but i love it

[Nicky91]

dancing the Vietnamese Waltz Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton

:laugh3:

[Nicky91]

Russell Grant loving Lauren & AJ

Ronni Ancona wants Stacey to win

and Blue Peter's Radzi says Joe is going to win

[Vanessa]

Good luck to all the couples. No matter who leaves, they've all done so well to get this far. :love:
Again, if Joe doesn’t make the final, my votes will go to my second favourite : miss Stacey :spin2:

[Nicky91]

Lauren's samba training looks surprisingly good :eyes: given latin isn't her style

her tango could be amazing i think

[Nicky91]

changed the time in the OP, Zoe said tonights show is at 6:35, and not 6:45 what Tess originally said to us at the end of last weeks result show

[Nicky91]

edit

[Nicky91]

who are we looking forward to

honestly all of the performances but mostly excited for

Ashley & Pasha's Paso Doble with that florence song could be a bit more modern than traditional which might be cool, and their american smooth i expect it to be a true showstopper las vegas style

Lauren & AJ's tango, expect it to be phenomenally fast & fierce but also quite good based on training footage, and the samba might be a surprisingly good one for her, training looked great

[Nicky91]

leaderboard prediction

1. Ashley & Pasha 40 + 40 = 80

2. Faye & Giovanni 37 + 40 = 77

3. Stacey & Kevin 37 + 40 = 77

4. Lauren & AJ 36 + 35 = 71

5. Joe & Dianne 34 + 32 = 66

[Nicky91]

honestly based on popularity Joe and Stacey are certain finalists especially Joe who has 5.7 million followers on insta alone and making that 8 million followers on YouTube

[Vanessa]

Good luck to all the couples. Let's just enjoy the amazing show and vote for our favourites.
i would love to see Joe in the final, but if it's not meant to be then nevermind. He has done so well to get to the semifinals.
And there's still the tour, im going for sure. Wembley :cheer2:

[hijaxers]

Joe was horrific

So boring to watch as well.

[Amy Jade]

Ashley:

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/019/952/5fc.jpg

[RileyH]

Getting less than 30 for semi's dance :skull:

Mollie King did it better!

[LukeB]

Stacey slayed
Joe was poor
Loved Ashley’s but not my favourite from her but she is making mistakes like everyone so she isn’t a pro like people are making her out to be

[LukeB]

Ashley would have won on the america version because they don’t give a **** about experience and don’t whine about it.

[Barry.]

Ashley would have won on the america version because they don’t give a **** about experience and don’t whine about it.

Agreed. Ashley would of been the winner for sure.

[hijaxers]

Not mad on that Lauren .

[hijaxers]

Wicked Stacey ~ loved it ~ again.

[LukeB]

Joe being stompy and not leading again

[Braden]

I would've expected that standard of dance from someone in week 3, and Shirley is favouring Joe again :/

[hijaxers]

Joe giving the meekest Argentine Tango ever ! Diane was fab though !

[Amy Jade]

Ashley is bloody fantastic!

[Amy Jade]

Come on 40!

[Amy Jade]

Yeees 40!

[LukeB]

Come on 40!

She got it!

If she does that in the dance off then shes safe

[hijaxers]

Ashley is bloody fantastic!



I hate that dance but she smashed it !

[Daniel-X]

Joe is horrific, that dance was as bad as Lauren’s Samba. If this ****ing boring twink wins I s2g

[Daniel-X]

Our Faye is WINNING awoooo

[hijaxers]

Wow wow wow Faye gotta be a 40 , amazing.

[RileyH]

Lauren is gonna have to be at least top 2 in the votes to have any chance of surviving lmao she's fooked :(

[Nicky91]

Lauren is gonna have to be at least top 2 in the votes to have any chance of surviving lmao she's fooked :(

so what she has come far and did the best she could with those 2 dances

and she'll dance in the final anyway with eliminated celebs then if eliminated now :clap1:

[Nicky91]

i am proud of you Lauren :worship: :lovedup:

[Morgan.]

So then seeing this
Ashley - 5
Faye - 5
Stacey - 4
Joe - 3
Lauren - 2

I'm gonna assume the public votes will be something like this
Ashley - 1
Lauren - 2
Faye - 3
Joe - 4
Stacey - 5

Making this
Stacey - 9
Faye - 8
Joe - 7
Ashley - 6
Lauren - 4

Lauren deffo B2, with most probably Ashley but also could be Joe. Either way she's gone.

[Nicky91]

Lauren done herself proud getting this far anyway :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

wow enjoy the final gurl front row seat in the clauditorium and i cannot wait for your exit interview with Zoe cause you deserve that so much :love:

[RileyH]

Ashley & Faye both have 5 judges points, Stacey 4, Joe 3 & Lauren 2

Voting will go Joe 5, Stacey 4, Lauren 3, Faye 2, Ashley 1

Lauren & Ashley DO, Lauren goes :(

[Crimson Dynamo]

Imagine giving Sugg 8 for his opening mess

FIX

[hijaxers]

Imagine giving Sugg 8 for his opening mess

FIX

Shirley's golden boy :shrug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Faye is the perfect woman

[joeysteele]

I think Lauren will be in the dance off.
She's done amazing however.
No way will the judges save Lauren if she is.

[hijaxers]

I think Lauren will be in the dance off.
She's done amazing however.
No way will the judges save Lauren if she is.

Agree she has done brilliantly and should be very proud of every dance she's performed - good or bad .

[Vanessa]

Can't wait to see Craig reaction tomorrow. His precious Ashley is in the dance off again. And Joe in the final, despite his attempts at getting rid. Won't be a good day for him :joker::joker:

[Nicky91]

I think Lauren will be in the dance off.
She's done amazing however.
No way will the judges save Lauren if she is.

Agree she has done brilliantly and should be very proud of every dance she's performed - good or bad .

still her 2 dances were better than those 2 messy dances from Joe


his viennese waltz lacked heel leads i paid close attention to that and he was on his toes all the time, with heel leads he could've had the smooth flow needed for this dance, and his argentine tango was more like a comedic Halloween style performance rather than a passionate fiery mature argentine tango

[Nicky91]

in the final i will root for Ashley, Faye and Stacey cause it is a dancing competition and Joe is trash with his ''technique''

producers pls rig it, block Joe's voting line next week :fc:

[Vanessa]

I'm going to go crazy voting for Joe in the final. The judges scores don't count, it's all about who has the msot votes.

[Nicky91]

I'm going to go crazy voting for Joe in the final. The judges scores don't count, it's all about who has the msot votes.

poor Stacey then, if we are talking best novice dancer she deserves to win more than Joe

[Nicky91]

my scores last night

1. Stacey & Kevin 10 + 10 = 20

2. Ashley & Pasha 10 + 10 = 20

3. Lauren & AJ 9 + 9 = 18

4. Faye & Giovanni 8 + 7 = 15

5. Joe & Dianne 4 + 5 = 9

[Crimson Dynamo]

Faye again stole the show and will be the rightful winner, Stacey second

the rest meh

Lauren awful and Jo too

[Nicky91]

Faye again stole the show and will be the rightful winner, Stacey second

the rest meh

Lauren awful and Jo too

yes i was a bit biased for Lauren of course, i thought her tango was amazing, but her samba was good for the laughs i guess she tried the best she could but latin doesn't suit her

Faye did well but i miss the connection between her and gio, i think Giovanni has more Chemistry with a mirror :laugh2:

Ash & Pash have got loads of Chemistry, same goes for Stacey & Kevin


Lauren & AJ their Chemistry also did grow week by week, her having made it this far is amazing :flutter: i am proud for having been part of teamlaj

[Nicky91]

my first ever strictly discussion thread now at page 74 :flutter:

[Vanessa]

I'm so happy that my favourite is in the final! Woooooooo! Im so excited! :cheer2:
I'm just going to enjoy it. No need to stress now.
The public chooses the winner, not the judges.
So their scores are irrelevant :hee:

a whole lot better for you this year than last year with Aston's shock exit

[Vanessa]

I was watching Joe's vlogs. Wow, they're really good! He's such a natural in front the camera.
Hope he does the videos during the tour as well.

[Vanessa]

Who i support is the person i connect with.
For me it's not about who is the best dancer. Its about who i enjoy watching the most and that's been Joe since week two.
That charleston really made an impression on me. Would love to see it again in the final.

[Vanessa]

I would never slag off another celebrity, personally.
I think it's in very poor taste.
I know we're all passionate about our favourites, but there's no need to be nasty.
All the semi finalists have worked so hard.
The public has chosen is top four and that's how it's meant to be.

[Nicky91]

my strictly final tradition, making puking sounds at those pathetic loser finalists :hehe:


i only look forward to the eliminated celebs group dance then :flutter:

[Vanessa]

Judges choices and showdances have just been announced. Love the Paso, so I'm thrilled that i will see it again. Artic Monkeys : yeah!
But i think it will be the swing version of the song.

[Crimson Dynamo]

im not going to watch the final as its too hackneyed and fake

[Nicky91]

im not going to watch the final as its too hackneyed and fake

Fake Tozer woops haha :laugh3:

[Vanessa]

Joe and Diane are dancing the Charleston in the final! Yay!
Glad that Faye is dancing the couples choice again, that was my favourite routine of theirs.

[Nicky91]

Joe red hair :o

eliminated celebs in training :clap2:

[Vanessa]

I'm so going to enjoy this final. No more stressing over votes! Stacey or Joe will win, so i feel like i will be celebrating tonight :dance::cheer2:

[Nicky91]

nice to be a spectator, neutral viewer in this final :love: also not gonna give points anymore

i'm personally rooting for Stacey, cause Kevin deserves to finally lift that glitterball after so many times runner up, and now with Stacey he has a real good chance at winning

i knew judges choice for Joe would be his Paso, that was one of his dances he can improve with


i hope Stacey has chosen doctor who tango as contestants choice, cause that is a standout performance and she can also still improve with that in terms of a better score, standout i mean first girl to lead in a tango there

[Jase.]

Will be watching live for the first time this series :skull: Hyped!

Ready for Ash to outperform everybody as per usual!

[Nicky91]

Joe to be the weakest on the night and then winning :skull: :skull:

oh well Chris Hollins also was a weak dancer and won against Ricky Whittle :fist: #Whittlewuzrobbed

[Vanessa]

I'm expecting Stacey to win. And that's a win for anyone who has never danced before :dance:

[Vanessa]

Will be watching live for the first time this series :skull: Hyped!

Ready for Ash to outperform everybody as per usual!

Starts at 6:30.

[Jase.]

Starts at 6:30.

Got a tin of roses and some wine in! Perched!

[Vanessa]

Got a tin of roses and some wine in! Perched!

I'm getting a takeaway. No way I'm cooking tonight. I will be glued to my tv :cheer2:

[Nicky91]

Starts at 6:30.

yes 2 hours and 30 minutes is the duration of our final tonight

[Jase.]

Forever bitter that Ash didn't get an Argentine Tango

[LukeB]

I’m expecting Ashley to do her Contemporary dance for her favourite one.

[Vanessa]

Enjoy the final, everyone. Its going to be amazing! This year strictly has been fantastic. And my favourite is in the final :cheer2:

[Vanessa]

Forever bitter that Ash didn't get an Argentine Tango

She should do it at the tour.

[Nicky91]

Susannah joking about Bruno's chair :laugh2:

cannot wait to see Seann's improved dance skill in that group dance :dance:

[Nicky91]

it seems Seann has only had a 1 week break from training after his elimination and then went back rehearsing/dancing for that one group dance :)

[Barry.]

Can't wait for tonight.

[Nicky91]

Vick was so funny last night, thinking strictly is her ex boyfriend she is seeing again now and still likes him :laugh2:

[Nicky91]

didn't expect Danny to show up but i'm glad he did, i think he skipped his exit interview because his mom was pissed at him he screwed that samba family homage dance ;) and him being a bit embarrassed about that

[Adamw92]

Come on Faye :clap1:

[Crimson Dynamo]

im not watching

awful

[LukeB]

That was amazing from Ashley! her second attempt was better than the first

[RileyH]

Vick was so funny last night, thinking strictly is her ex boyfriend she is seeing again now and still likes him :laugh2:

robbed legend

[Adamw92]

Ashley was so good, it’s a shame she doesn’t have a chance of winning

[LukeB]

Ashley was so good, it’s a shame she doesn’t have a chance of winning

She would if this was Dancing with the stars but unfortunately you're right

[LukeB]

Stacey :love:

[hijaxers]

Stacey :love:

Love Stacey want her to win.

[Adamw92]

Hate when they boo the 9s, I mean 39 is nothing to scoff at

[Adamw92]

YES Faye!! :cheer:

[hijaxers]

I just don't enjoy watching Joe at all.

[hijaxers]

Deffo the worst so far for me.

[Adamw92]

So far behind everyone else, what a shame he’s probably going to win

[Barry.]

Voted for Faye six times.

[LukeB]

Ashley's showdance was stunning and it's the best one i've ever seen (so far) the song too :love:

[hijaxers]

5 for Stacey
1 for Faye

[joeysteele]

That showdance from Ashley and Pasha was incredible.
Probably the best I've ever seen on Strictly.
Brilliance.

[LukeB]

Stacey did that :clap1:

[Adamw92]

I enjoyed that, there was a little fumble in the lift at the end but it was enjoyable

[LukeB]

:skull:

[Vanessa]

Stacey greatest tits :laugh3:

[Barry.]

Stacey greatest tits :laugh3:

:joker::joker: poor Bruno.

[Adamw92]

COME THROUGH FAYE FROM STEPS!!!!! :clap1: :clap1:

[hijaxers]

COME THROUGH FAYE FROM STEPS!!!!! :clap1: :clap1:

Yes very good - credit due there.

[Barry.]

Ashley, Faye and Stacey should be one of the winners.

[Rufus]

Tbf that was his best dance.

[hijaxers]

Tbf that was his best dance.

Yes it was !

[Vanessa]

Wow, fantastic showdance from Joe! :cheer2:

[LukeB]

That's how you do a paso doble :worship:

[LaLaLand]

Oh Stacey <3

[hijaxers]

OMG Stacey best dance of the night !

[Adamw92]

So happy for Faye, she’s had a brilliant night!

[Daniel-X]

Faye’s fever routine may be my favourite ever

[hijaxers]

That was wicked Faye :dance:

[Kazanne]

I like them all but it's hard to decide between Faye and Ashley, I do like the other two aswell they have probably had to work harder than the others, has Faye any other dancing experience ? I do love Ashley though even though she has probably had an unfair advantage,but good luck to them all.

[Cal.]

STACE!

[Rufus]

Omg just saw legend Kim!

Up there with Alesha Dixon? (i guess the public didn't always hate experience dancers?)

[Daniel-X]

And tune in next year when Stephanie Davis wins!

[LukeB]

The Joe fans are fuming and calling it a fix

[Cal.]

DELIGHTED for my gorgeous lady :love:

[Adamw92]

Disappointed for Faye cause she deserved it but not at all surprised.

[Twosugars]

My Kev won, so happy for him and Stace !!!

[Vanessa]

Well done Kevin and Stacey :love:

[BBUK-Fan]

Boring

[Morgan.]

Thrilled for her :love: Her and Joe were my top 2!

[Vanessa]

I just wanted to get Joe to the final. Not really bothered about the winning. It was always going to be Stacey or Joe, i think they were getting the most votes.

[smudgie]

Well deserved win.

[Liam-]

A bit anticlimactic having the person at the bottom of the leaderboard win, but she’s great and definitely deserved it.

[Jase.]

Faye's theater/jazz dance is one of my fave dances in the history of the show tbh :love:

[Amy Jade]

I am so pleased Ashley has now won Strictly and I'm a Celebrity too!

[Barry.]

Happy for Stacey.

[Twosugars]

That Paso was ace. Kevin is king :love: his win long overdue

[Denver]

She deserved it

[Denver]

Also the judges continued undertaking Stacey in the final to make her rivals look better glad the public saw threw it

[Vanessa]

A non dancer winning is always a great result. Really enjoyed the final.
Joe and Diane showdance was fantastic. So much fun, it had me up and dancing :dance:

[Mystic Mock]

Boring

This.

I have nothing personal against Stacey herself, but the show never treated her like a contestant but more like a Queen or a Goddess, and it seems to have rubbed off to the general public.

[Nicky91]

i loved this final

every dance was great, the eliminated celebs dance was great too


Joe and Stacey were my top 2 last night, i thought Joe gave his everything and more, his best performances to date for sure, so yeah i thought if he won he had at least justified that

Stacey was amazing, i loved her showdance starting backstage storyline typically a quirky routine by Kevin :clap1: :clap1:

Faye's showdance was impressive, a homage to Broadway :dance:

[Black Dagger]

I knew my hug was the winning touch.

[Nicky91]

Stacey & Aljaz will be interesting on the live tour for sure, height wise i mean


also funny that Oti sends text-messages to Graeme shouting ''get out of bed, dance'' :laugh2:

[Vanessa]

Can't wait for the tour. Its always fun. I'm going to try to get tickets for Wembley. :love:

[Morgan.]

This.

I have nothing personal against Stacey herself, but the show never treated her like a contestant but more like a Queen or a Goddess, and it seems to have rubbed off to the general public.

If they treated her like that she wouldn't have been the lowest scoring in the final :joker:

[Liam-]

Joe was robbed

[Nicky91]

Joe was robbed

based on his final performances last night yep he was robbed

[Twosugars]

he wasn't robbed :rolleyes:

Kevin must be on cloud nine today. :flutter:

[Denver]

So weird to think that for the first time in history a brother and sister has won the show

[Twosugars]

I know, a unique situation, a unique family.

[Nicky91]

So weird to think that for the first time in history a brother and sister has won the show

no it isn't :laugh3:


Derek Hough has won dwts usa 6 times i think and his sister Julianne has won the show twice with Apolo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves

[Denver]

I was talking about Strictly not other versions

[Nicky91]

I was talking about Strictly not other versions

it is literally the same, as it is in the same franchise ;)


Helio & Julianne were fab, Apolo Anton Ohno's dance skills were out of this world though


my fave derek champions are Jennifer Grey but also Amber Riley and Bindi Irwin :hee:

[Denver]

They are 2 very different formats

[Morgan.]

They are 2 very different formats

Not really. They work the same.

[LukeB]

Not really. They work the same.

One has bottom 2 and the public cry over experience dancers

The other doesn’t and has twists and the public don’t care about experience dancers

[Nicky91]

Bindi Irwin's Jive to crocodile rock was fab

One has bottom 2 and the public cry over experience dancers

The other doesn’t and has twists and the public don’t care about experience dancers

Oh ok I thought they had the same format.

Also he dancing styles are different with Contempary a regular dance like Ballroom and Latin

I thought that before but dancing with the stars don’t always have elimination every week and they don’t even have a bottom 2, they have more themes too like the recent series had trio night where the couples performed a trio dance with a past celebrity contestant or a personal acquaintance so (Evanna)Luna Lovegood danced with her partner and the girl who played Pansy Parkinson on Harry Potter.

If they treated her like that she wouldn't have been the lowest scoring in the final :joker:

I feel as if they voted them low tactically? As in no one last night would have been basing their votes off of the leadboard, so by putting Stacey at the bottom it installed fear in the public to vote due to her fans thinking she doesn't stand a chance being low and resulting in her winning over Joe, probably the only way they could beat out his fanbase

:lovedup: Valerie & Tristan

omg i had tears in my eyes with every performance she did on that show, with this viennese waltz being my highlight of them, also a fitting song for Valerie, after being diagnosed with cancer she did the show anyway

such a classy, beautifully sweet lady :flutter:

[Black Dagger]

Joe was robbed

Like **** he was.

[Vanessa]

They are 2 very different formats

I knew Joe and Stacey were getting the most votes, so i didn't mind who was going to win between them.
Both never danced before, but improved massively.

[Vanessa]

Why didn't Ashley dance her jive? It was her best dance. It would have gotten her more votes. :shrug:

[Mystic Mock]

If they treated her like that she wouldn't have been the lowest scoring in the final :joker:

I'm talking throughout the rest of her stint where she got a 38 for living in the air on the American Smooth, when she scored a 39 for her Paso Doble when Kevin did all of the main Paso content, and her Foxtrot getting above a 30 is being generous imo, yet the judges tried to claim that it was a 39, and her Charleston was overmarked imo.

I'm not saying that all of these dances were bad or that they wasn't enjoyable from a viewers point of view, but the fact that they was saying that she was near Faye and Ashley's dances in some weeks on a technical level simply wasn't true and they were lying to the public to push Kevin who they feel deserved to have a winner.

I actually think that the judges were again generous to Stacey in the final as how the **** did that Showdance score a 36? It was more like a 26 or possibly even slightly lower as it was riddled with problems.

I know that I'll probably come across horrible with this post, especially as Stacey (and Joe tbf) could easily out dance me anyday of the week lol. But I do feel that the judges overmarked Stacey by quite a lot, and that the public may as well have not had this extra week if they'd already decided that Stacey was gonna be their winner even if she was doing the overall weakest dances on the night.

[Vanessa]

I think the vote was probably very close between Stacey and Joe. Either could have won it really.
But to be fair, Stacey has been slightly better overall.
Even though my personal preference is Joe, who i think is a real talent.

[Vanessa]

Joe has a lovely singing voice as well. He could do music theatre, if he wanted to. So could Stacey, but i don't know if she can sing.

[Nicky91]
