Strictly Come Dancing

We're about to watch the final tonight so I'll give my 3 votes to someone whose performance I enjoyed the most.

I do suspect Bill will win as he's got a huge following but it could be HRVY as he's certainly grown to have a big following too. We'll not know how close voting is but I think it will be.

Enjoyed the whole show and credit to all those who've made it possible for us to be entertained with a mainly live show (Saturdays).

I’d be happy with either Maisie or HRVY to win. I’d be disappointed if it’s down to whoever has the biggest fan base and that turned out to be Bill.

I’m looking forward to it. Thank you for the 6pm reminder. I’d forgotten about the earlier start.

Ellianne you could be right with Colin Firth, if he’s got the timing he would be good for Strictly. Not so sure about Pierce Brosnan. I do like it when those people everybody has low expectations of turn out to be good, it’s always nice to see anybody who’s over 40 and not picture perfect do well, and I think it should be taken into account how much hard graft they have to put in to do what comes more naturally whilst you’re still young and fit - it would be a boring show otherwise.

Looking forward to the final tonight.
I don't much mind who wins, I enjoy the whole show, music, lighting, settings & the dancing ,of course!!

I thought that there was a previous thread on SCD, then saw that it had reached a thousand posts..!!
Well done KittyL & Puzzler

Pam Stephenson was in her 60s when she got to the final. I don't remember her getting all this 'aging adulation'.

Lesley Joseph and Debbie McGee had plenty of energy too, representing “older ladies”.

Ed Balls too wasn't far off Bill's age.

And Lulu was 70 and her age was never ever mentioned, although someone else in the competition who was younger than her (can't recall who) was continually told he was good for his age.

To be fair I did say ‘man’ of his age, apart from Ed Balls the others mentioned are women- and although Ed (at 49) was very entertaining, his dancing wasn’t a patch on Bill’s.

They did make a thing of Pamela’s age at the time, and she was excellent I thought. Wasn’t Debbie a professional dancer when younger?

Yes, ballet trained I believe Casdon

Go HRVY !! F a bu l o u s!

Anyway... What a start

I know that was the dance the judges asked for, but in my view it's an amateurish performance for the final.

Do you mean HRVY’s ? Or Jamie’s Sparklefizz ?

I thought HRVY’s was brilliant, Jamie’s not so much.

Claudia looks very pretty tonight in her dress. It’s flattering I think.

I’m pretty sure Jamie will be first out, but don’t know why the judges picked that ‘joke’ type dance.

Just not very appealing.

Claudia looks very pretty tonight in her dress. It’s flattering I think.

But the ‘drop’ sleeves make me want to pull them up.
They would annoy me.

Oh, I thought HRVY was terrific!!! Puzzler Not keen on Jamie's dance ... there was never a huge amount of swivel in the choreography.

Yes, Claudia looks lovely tonight.

I’m pretty sure Jamie will be first out, but don’t know why the judges picked that ‘joke’ type dance.

Just not very appealing.

Maybe that's the plan - to get Jamie out first.

It’s going to be a close call between Maisie and HRVY. On performance so far I think Maisie has pipped it

Right .... and I would say HRVY !

Three dances seemed very elegant but not the one the judges chose for Jamie.

Maisie so far I think.

Wow! What a lot to have to learn!!!!!!!

HRVY's showdance, I mean.
