Jeremy Vine is the first celebrity to be announced - will he be the first one off?

merlotgran Sun 13-Dec-15 22:09:14

Yes. Sorry for Anita but I didn't like their routine.

I have to remind myself that Katie is the celeb contestant and not Anton. It's so nice to see him with a decent partner for a change.

At first I couldn't work out why they chose the Salsa for the DO and not the Foxtrot, but with hindsight I think Gleb thought all three of the judges would choose them over Katie & Anton - and Len wouldn't be involved.

The first time they danced it, every judge gave them an 8, so it was a reasonable risk to take, especially as Katie might make a mistake or two. But Darcey put the cat amongst the pigeons by choosing Katie & Anton after they improved and that was the end of their journey because Len wasn't going to choose them.

Gleb took a gamble and it didn't pay off. I will miss Anita and her determination though and don't think she had an easy ride with Gleb as her partner.

Looking forward now to seeing what Anton's showdance dance will be like. I suspect it would have been a bit of Fred and Ginger, but Kevin stole that idea this week! grin

Georgia and Giovanni for the win! grin

I think Anton & Katie were the best 'dancers'. I enjoyed Anita's routine, but that is what it was a routine, not a dance as such, which is what Len is on about all the time. Katie , I think, just took to the floor and let Anton do the rest, and she seemed gradually to enjoy the music which is important if you are dancing to it.
Personally, I wish Georgia would stop being the "little girl", Kellie would cease to act as if she was a teenager, and Jay look as if he was not sulking all the time. Katie of course does have that rather odd smile, but Anton is always lovely, and I am so glad he has reached the finals, whether he deserves to or not.

What a shame last nights show was. the judges looked uncomfortable with their choice I think they must have known it would be unpopular. Poor Anita non-one could have tried harder. Anton is in the final on his own merit- I have said enough on that score. Next year I would like to see new judges.

Printmiss - you are right. Georgia should stop squealing and jumping up and down as it is very annoying. I do like Kellie but she is a bit of a luvvie at times. Katie Derham is the one with dignity and I think she realises that it is Anton the public is voting for. It's a real shame that Anita was knocked out as I thought her routine with Gleb was brilliant and so energetic. I bet she's a good gymnast. As for Jay, my guess is that he will be the winner but I still think it is unfair as he has had so much previous dance training. I really wish his partner would stop stroking him all the time, though. He's not THAT attractive.

Well, what does everyone think? Looks like Kelly and Kevin have got it sewn up!

ninathenana Sat 19-Dec-15 20:01:16

I have been team Georgia all along but after tonight I'm with Kellie.
Jay was let by the choreograph.

merlotgran Sat 19-Dec-15 20:26:49

I'm torn between Georgia and Kellie. They're both brilliant.

annodomini Sat 19-Dec-15 20:45:06

Kevin's choreography is far superior. They have peaked at the right time and they have my votes.

Alima Sat 19-Dec-15 21:16:42

Kellie and Kevin were amazing, do hope they win.

Ana Sat 19-Dec-15 22:06:30

I've turned the tv off in disgust!

ninathenana Sat 19-Dec-15 22:06:42

tchshocktchshock

Not what I expected

Jane10 Sat 19-Dec-15 22:08:02

Wrong wrong wrong result! Kellie and Georgia were both much better than him and without his years of dance experience. What's wrong with the great British public! Even the judges hinted strongly for Georgia (Craig) and Kellie (Len). Och. Am fed up?

Pittcity Sat 19-Dec-15 22:08:34

I think everyone is shocked tchshock

Jane10 Sat 19-Dec-15 22:08:48

That's fed up!

Charleygirl Sat 19-Dec-15 22:08:54

I did the same as Ana-

annodomini Sat 19-Dec-15 22:09:23

Disappointed for Georgia and Kellie. Kevin consigned to runner up again!

Pittcity Sat 19-Dec-15 22:10:23

The judges didn't look very happy at the end.

cornergran Sat 19-Dec-15 22:12:00

Not what I wanted or expected. His dances weren't the best. So disappointed.

Alima Sat 19-Dec-15 22:13:25

Noooooooooo!

merlotgran Sat 19-Dec-15 22:14:01

Georgia was robbed angry

NanKate Sat 19-Dec-15 22:16:21

Who was the guest singer in the Final, didn't recognise her ?

Only watched the Final can't stand all the claptrap from the women presenters.

DH who popped is head round the corner said 'the chap from the boy band will win with all his fans voting for him'.

Pittcity Sat 19-Dec-15 22:19:05

It was Ellie Goulding NanKate She sang at Kate and Wills wedding reception. Seemed to be wearing a string vest and a bin bag tonight, looked good on her!

whitewave Sat 19-Dec-15 22:19:50

We've gone through weeks and weeks to end up with this result!!!tchconfused

Charleygirl Sat 19-Dec-15 22:20:42

I do not think that it should be left to the public to decide. It should be the judges in my opinion and then there will be a fairer outcome instead of tonight's shambles.
