I agree Ranvir was my favourite too. Hrvy will win I'm sure.

Charleygirl5 Sat 19-Dec-20 12:47:19

I do not want Jamie or Harvey to win- I do not like either of them. I doubt if Bill will win- 3 dances surely at that level would be too much for him?

I would be happy to see Maisie win now that Ranvir, my favourite, has left.

Please not Jamie!!

Calendargirl Sat 19-Dec-20 12:19:59

Well, I definitely don’t want to see Bill Bailey win.

Anyone but him!

Beauregard Sat 19-Dec-20 11:19:44

I really want HRVY to win, especially for Janette, but Maisie would also be a worthy winner. Definitely not Bill, although DH tells me that he is the favourite! Surely not ?.

Ellianne Sat 19-Dec-20 10:40:06

I have to say I do actually like all their professional partners too this year. Their choreography is good.

Does it sound waspish if I say I was shocked this morning to read that Bill Bailey is “only” 55?
The way he is treated as a geriatric National Treasure plus, frankly, the hair, had led me to believe he was much older!

Oh!

I thought he was about my age (70+) so when I called him Twinkletoes it was with the utmost admiration ?‍♂️

Yes, I thought he was at least in his mid 60s. I can't stand that silly hair.

Yes, I understand Camilla will appear via videolink.

I am really looking forward to it. Remember it will be starting early at 6pm. I don't mind whether HRVY or Maisie win - both very good dancers - as long as it's not Jamie or Bill, which would be a complete travesty.

As long as Bill doesn’t win ( that would be a travesty) I really don’t mind who does although I find it hard to pick between Maisie and HRVY

Puzzler61 Sat 19-Dec-20 08:32:25

Robbie Williams is the guest performer I heard yesterday.

Ellianne Sat 19-Dec-20 08:26:39

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Duchess of Cornwall is on the show via videolink or something.

It is only the public who vote in the final tonight EV.
Judges just give encouragement and comments.

EllanVannin Sat 19-Dec-20 08:16:21

I wonder if Bill Bailey will be picked because of the tight competition of the other two which will make things very difficult for the judges ? There can't be two winners.

Puzzler61 Sat 19-Dec-20 08:16:13

I’ll be glued to it and looking forward to a great show of entertaining dancing.
I’ve championed Maisie from the start but I don’t think she’ll win.
I don’t really mind who is voted the 2020 champion.
Remember it starts at 6 o’clock - quite early ? ?
Enjoy it everyone.

ginny Sat 19-Dec-20 08:09:36

Looking forward for the watching. Hrvy or Maisie to win, don’t mind which.

Ellianne Sat 19-Dec-20 08:01:50

Looking forward to the Strictly final tonight! I believe they have 3 dances to perform, so I'm guessing at least one will be a previous one of their choice. I would like Maisie to win, but I think it will be Hrvy. He is very good too.

At least I won't have to hear once again!!! what an emotional/ personal growth journey Ranvir has been on.
She always looked like a spare whotsit at a wedding when she let go of Gio.

Puzzler61 Mon 14-Dec-20 15:20:25

There is a bit of a backlash against Shirley in some of the news today for voting Jamie through to the final in preference to Ranvir.
However, if the public had put in more votes for Ranvir she wouldn’t have been in the bottom two.

NotSpaghetti Mon 14-Dec-20 15:14:10

Bill is way too stiff for me. Jaimie I can't bear though agree he is better than Bill. Disappointing choices this year.

Judy54 Mon 14-Dec-20 14:02:54

You are so right Elliane I would definitely hang on to Gio and never let him go grin

As far as I remember Cathy McGowan and Michael Ball got together when she went to interview him. It seemed such an unlikely pairing at the time but it's certainly lasted.

Interesting fact and yes they seem an unlikely couple. She used to be married to Hywell Bennett. Thought he was gorgeous grin

Pleased Bill got through. He has a huge public following. Pity about the poor camera work on his dance.

Sparklefizz Kevin left because of his theatre commitments. -Apparently-, he now regrets this with all theatres now closed.

Calendargirl Mon 14-Dec-20 12:00:50

Perhaps Craig was trying to decide which couple would make a more watchable final, as I’m sure that comes into their decisions, despite the dance off supposedly being the only way they should judge it.

Charleygirl5 Mon 14-Dec-20 10:10:29

I agree, I have never seen Craig so undecided in his life.

Anybody could win it this week.

Jay's jive was so sharp. This year's have been rather "limp". And generally the choreography hasn't been quite as exciting as normal. I loved Ranvir and Gio's Argentine Tango but have missed input from Kevin and Katya who used to choreograph gripping dances. Why did Kevin leave?
