Hmmmmmm as usual my initial response is what an odd lot. Fern Britten is a bit of fun but can't say I'm wildly enthusiastic yet. I still think Kara and Artem were the best ever.

Pud I love Richard and this is definitely his moment! He is like a little girl in a big pink tutu, jumping up and down with excitement!

Lisa is so popular that she's going to be hard to beat even if Denise gets better scores.

Hubby and I are nearly ready to come to blows over his support of Denise! I`m rooting for Lisa or Louis. Enjoyed tonight`s show from Wembley, but thought that Denise`s Charleston wasn`t really a Charleston but a novelty dance, needless to say, hubby didn`t agree!

number I agree about Denise Charleston.

Thank goodness Lisa has gone.

I thought Denise was stunning this week, better than ever! I suppose the Girls Aloud girl will win, she does dance very well but I'm just not interested in her - I fast forward through most of her stuff. I'd really like to see the munchkins win, but really it could be any off them. I've really enjoyed this series, like Len I actually knew who all the celebrities were for once.

annodomini Sun 16-Dec-12 21:53:13

I felt that Lisa had gone further than she really should have but once the judges had the final say, the right decision was reached. Thank goodness they reinstated the dance off this year.

Ella46 Sun 16-Dec-12 22:09:13

I don't know who I want to win at all, Dani is so good with Vincent, Kimberley is such a natural, but I love Louis, he is such a lovely lad!

I`m really sorry to see the back of Lisa. Although she may not have been technically anywhere near some of the others, she was much more enjoyable to watch, because of her sheer enthusiasm. I am another who`d like to see Danni and Vincent win, but think it will be a straight fight between Denise and Kimberley.

Ana Sun 16-Dec-12 22:12:36

I love Dani and Vincent, but I don't think they'll win. I just can't warm to Denise or Kimberley.

Ana Sun 16-Dec-12 22:13:22

PS - yes, I know it's about the dancing! grin

Ana, I feel the same way. Denise comes over as super confident, and Kimberley`s voice just seems to drone on and on, Dani comes over as much nicer, and Lisa was lovely.

POGS Mon 17-Dec-12 21:25:36

I know what everyone means but at the end of the day it is a dance competition and sadly personality 'won't win it'.

I think it will be between Denise and Kimberley.

Wasn't it great to watch poor old Lisa go thud on the floor though. She was genuinely good fun and if you won for enthusiasm alone she deserved a gold medal.

POGS Sat 22-Dec-12 21:34:22

They were all brilliant but I am going for kIMBERLEY.

Anyone else voted??????

Ella46 Sat 22-Dec-12 22:05:56

I'm very happy that the gorgeous Louis won....Yaayy!

Ana Sat 22-Dec-12 22:07:45

I'm just happy that neither Denise nor Kimberley won!
(How terrible does that make me? hmm)

POGS Sat 22-Dec-12 22:09:14

Ana

Really, really really horrible. grin

Ana Sat 22-Dec-12 22:12:23

grin I don't care!

Ella46 Sat 22-Dec-12 22:12:42

Actually, me too Ana, they were just too 'showbizzy' !

gracesmum Sat 22-Dec-12 22:13:05

Great final - wonderful dancing and a well-deserved result!!smile

numberplease Sat 22-Dec-12 23:08:37

After the lovely Lisa left last week, my new favourite was Louis, so I`m very pleased at the result. Hubby wasn`t, he`s been singing Denise`s praise from day one, as soon as the result was announced, he stormed off upstairs to his faithful PS3!

merlotgran Sat 22-Dec-12 23:16:02

I think Denise is an amazing dancer but I'm glad Louis won as he was a true amateur.

Nanado Sun 23-Dec-12 07:11:19

All three couples at the end could have won, a very high standard. But I'm pleased that it was Louis and liked his remark 'now at least I can say I won something in 2012'.

But what about Robbie Williams? Where's all that weight come from? He was almost bursting out of that suit and has he lost his voice, he sounded awful shock

Ella46 Sun 23-Dec-12 09:34:43

He's stopped smoking and started going to the gym apparently, so has 'bulked up'...hmm that's his story anyway! grin

BAnanas Sun 23-Dec-12 09:53:46

I always wanted Louis to win and I'm glad he has, but thought both Denise and Kimberley would have made worthy winners I just felt that they both had an unfair advantage.
