I've just ( I know it's a bit sad) watched the quater, the semi and the final again this afternoon.
It was a magnificent feast of dancing.
Honourable mention to Austin for showmanship and enthusiasim.
To Lisa for a great quickstep (awkward shoulders - I can't help myself.)
To Tom - that Foxtrot - I loved it - the only time you really, really understood what it was all about. I nearly cried myself because I thought you understood.
But to Rachel and Vincent - that Tango - MAGNIFICENT
That At - totally incredible - not even in the same ballpark, no league, as any other I've seen on this programme - LEGENDARY.
Their AS - as beautiful and smooth and professional a dance as ever a professional has done on the show!:) marvellous.
Not denying Tom deserved to win - but praise praise praise Rachel and Vincent for some of the most accomplished and beautiful dances I have ever seen, Thanks SCD.

And may I add, they are my favourite partnership in any series
Saying that they WERE the best dancers, along with Erin & Austin.
Tom got the shallow female vote, and Camila the sympathy vote:cool:
Thank you Psychosis - I hope you enjoy the tour. Couldn't really do that this year. The nearest is Cardiff and I'd be flying solo as nobody can make it and It's a long way from where I am anyway.
But I've a ticket to a 'private event' and am seeing V&F in March hehe.:)
I've heard Vincent is spectacular live and I'm really looking forward to it.:D
Winehouse, that was too easy a pop. I expect far more wit from you. Not that you care, but remember I could, for all you know, actually be Heather.
The things I do for R/V!
Cheers trunkster - realise she wasn't the most animated and intellectually challenging and animated as an interviewee - but I've watched few real artists and performers that are, it's a sort of extra skil.
Saw Hockney - totally inarticulate - I think it's odd because words are where I live, but, for many, some of the really greats even, words don't do it - they have to express themselves in other ways. I've got to say, artist or not, Rachel can't half dance. I'd rather she did that, than dance less well and talk a bit better:D
Marvelous.
Excuse me? I am a female, and voted for Tom not on the basis of shallow looks, but because in my opinion, he was by a mile the best allrounder there.
He had the technique good enough to be good (yes, the girls may have technically been better, but it's not all about technicality, hence why for example in figure skating they mark technical and performance SEPARATELY), but he captured us and showed us his enjoyment while, HAVING FUN.
I reckon a new scoring system should be based on performance and technique separately, with marks out of 20 for each judge for each dance. Then they can do whatever they like.
I don't think for one minute she can relaunch her carer on the basis of SCD . I was actaully quite sad to see the photo on the front of one of yesterday's tabloids.
My feelings exactly!!!!

Me too. I thought that her efforts at SCD indicated she was prepared to graft at a showbusiness career. But it was back to fingering her crotch in lingerie shots yesterday. Easy money but limited shelf life. Sad.
Anyway discussing the dancing- yes I have rewatched several of Rachel's dances & others & the detail that you miss on the first view is surprising. I loved their Tango /At
Waltz & even their first dance the Salsa. I also enjoyed Tom's Foxtrot, Lisa's waltz, Austin's jive. But have loved many of Vincent & Rachel's dances.
I've never seen Strictly before so started without any pre-conceptions, and initially my favourite was Tom because he danced with such joy. However I watched Rachel gain confidence and learn to trust Vincent, and from then on I was rooting for them as a couple.
I thought their Argentine Tango was simply amazing, even my husband was yelling " Well done" from the sofa
Sorry
What a lovely simplistic view to have of people you don't know trunkster
Assuming you're right though, why didn't you include Austin as someone else who benefited from the 'shallow female vote'? As I recall it there was as much talk about Austin's 'guns' as his actual dancing...Ironic really as the lack of proper free movement in those 'guns' cost him dearly in the end
Possibly she could do the modelling agian as shes so pretty?
Regarding her dancing, i thought she was fantastic. The best female celeb dancer on the show i hope her and vincent win a lot of tour dates. They were great together.
