It's how you felt Mock and I do have to admit while I enjoyed it immensely, maybe because I had no doubt that who I wanted to win couldn't, as like you I think the presentation of this series in part has made it about other issues than a dancing entertainment reality series.
Plus, it's been clear to you and I since between weeks 4 to 7.
There was only going to be one certain winner this series immaterial what the other contestants did.
The public got behind that and Rose quickly.

I just relaxed and felt I was at 2 different shows although I was voting for John, as was my Mum.
My cousin for Rose.

I did think of your comment weeks back re like Disney routines re Rose..
During the final.

John and Johannes had 2 of the hardest dances to do again in the final.
In my view.
However I knew they couldn't win.
Neither would AJ have had she been there.

I've said for weeks, much like yourself, this series was about supporting acts in the final with Rose..
Not about anyone else winning.

So I get most of where you are coming from.

I know of people voting only because they admire Rose for being able to dance with her hearing loss.
I admire that greatly.

However, the dancing should reflect scores and votes.

I can concede to you, the dances last night saw one couple doing ' safer' dances let's say.
With the other pair giving very powerful performances on 2 of the hardest dances to be done in a final.

I think for me my Mum last night summed it up.
She enjoyed the show.
However her last words on it were, that's what it was, a show, it was not in the end a competition as the whole series has been orchestrated as to a one way traffic as to the winner for many weeks now.

I do agree mostly with that conclusion.
So your stronger view on this series and the final.
I don't think you're off the mark.

You and I were poles apart on Dan.
Yet I could see your point on his entertainment value too.

I did enjoy it, in the main as I said because I knew beyond near all doubt, firstly my own choice hadn't a hope of winning, immaterial of how good they may be.
Plus, I knew equally beyond near all doubt, the winner was already decided.

So I treated it more as a variety type show.
To just enjoy and not get too wrapped up in as a dancing competition.

Good reading Mock as it always is from you.
