Is this a rare year where we are all happy with the result?

As soon As Mark went out, I had a sort of sigh of relief. Any of the final three were worthy winners.
I'm more than happy that carline won, she was may pick on day one dance one, but really all three of the finalists seemed genuinely nice and talented.
seems to be a pretty harmonious result, or at least no open warfare
Best year for some time in my opinion, a lovely bunch of people.

But I do agree, although Simon was my favourite, I was happy for any of the final 3 winning.
maybe from your point of view and I will concede that the forum is quiet.
For me it was the best danced final I can remember with three couples really delivering without error or nerves. But each to his own.
I kind of agree with this. Mark was a bit annoying and he, Simon and Caroline have been grossly overmarked on many occasions. I really like Caroline, but she could have farted and burped in the final and they would still have thrown tens at her.
Felt a bit flat to me. The standard of dancing wasn't bad but I was missing the anticipation of Jake's Showdance and seeing Pixie and Trent being utterly sublime.
There was also an inevitability about the result (and the scores..."oh another 40? That's nice....next!"). I'd never been so sure of a winner other than the year Louis won. Caroline's fine but a safe choice. Simon would have been just as non-divisive as a winner but him triumphing would at least have been unexpected and because I believed he genuinely had a journey and transformation that I felt a part of, it would have felt a little more satisfying.
I haven't even watched it yet - unheard of in previous years - so you could be right.
i was sure Mark would be 4th, that sums up the interest I had after the Showman left last week.
:);-)
Last night was a bit strange with the lack of ballroom and odd judges' choices. Also the repeated dances have a tendency to fall a bit flat for me but then I'm not a rewatcher of dances at all. Thinking about it I would a prefer a final format which had just the show dance and the ultimate direct comparison dance (like the waltzathon but with only 3 couples and better staged from a viewer point-of-view).
Bottom line: Flack easily passes the 'Hollins test' of worthiness so I've got no complaints on that score.
I didnt care enough to even watch that mediocre bunch, just looked in to see Take That and the group dance. Previously I have always watched but this year the whole shabby affair has left a bad taste in my mouth.
If the Judges scores don't count, why bother with them at all. Their comments should be guide enough.
With three perfect scores from the Judges, Caroline will go down in Strictly history as the best contestant ever and I don't think that is true at all.
All three would have been worthy but the route to the final has been manipulated too much for me to have felt any genuine involvement. Perversely, although the DOs played a big part in his getting there Simon was the success story of the series, and I would have been delighted had he and Kristina won. I was never bowled over by Caroline but I am pleased for Pasha.
