I just miss the days when a Strictly winner happened and there weren't some big theme behind it, Ellie came close last year for me, but the whole talking like a 9 year old ruined it for me if I'm to be really picky about it with her.

Because I have had loads of Seasons of Strictly where my personal favourite didn't win, but I want to feel like the winner won because the public just liked them.

Like to make sense of what I'm saying I'll use Jay from The Wanted, when he won that was just it, there was no soundbites to make his win feel special to his fans, he just won through his actions on the Show, plus a really good Jive.

But that was it for Jay, he weren't anything out of this world being put on a huge pedestal compared to his fellow contestants.

The same can be said for other winners like Caroline Flack, Abbey Clancy, Ore, and Louis Smith.

They all won and there was never any patronizing commentary from the judges, nor did the public treat any of them like they were little kids, which does really put me off the disabled contestants on Strictly if I'm to be entirely honest. It's one of the main reasons why I was never a big fan of Tasha either in this series.

I get that you liked him though Kate, and tbf there's a lot worse that you and all of us could be doing than voting for someone to win Strictly.

Another great post Mock, as I said I always enjoy reading what you write, it's coherent and engaging. Thank you my fellow Strictly Fan for your enthusiasm x

Thanks Kate, I enjoy reading your posts too.

Especially when on differing sides, because you might help me understand the other side's POV a bit better.

Same here Mock.

I love that bond you and Joey have with your favourites each year. You really do share tastes.

Joey is a fantastic friend on here, he just seems to understand my mindset really well, even if he might not always agree with me.

I'm the same with Vanessa, we seem to like the same contestants etc. And we never fallout over minor differences which are rare anyway.

It can be great to have that kind of friendship on the Forum I think.

And I love your friendship with Vanessa.
