No, she wasn't robbed. She had her fantastic moments, but not enough to deserve a place in the final.

Yes, but that's where we differ. I do think she gave the impression that she was enjoying the experience. She was polite and friendly, and appeared to be popular with the other pros and celebrities..which would have been unlikely if she just didn't give a damn ?
In my opinion. she was just quieter and more laid-back. As far as that goes, so is Harry on Strictly.. apparently he is different with his mates. But I want to see emotion on the dance floor and I didn't get any from her outside of the AS, the Foxtrot and the Paso and that's why I've never connected with her dancing, which is why, for me, she wasn't robbed. |

The more I think about it the more I think Holly should be in the final.

In my opinion. she was just quieter and more laid-back. As far as that goes, so is Harry on Strictly.. apparently he is different with his mates. If anything IMO she seemed to care too much and thus why she seemed to struggle at times to get over her nerves when performing. There were shots of her on ITT just before she was due to go on clearly nervous and taking deep breaths. She was also shown in tears after being in the bottom 2 for the 2nd week running and on ITT yesterday she talked of how nervous she had been before the Charleston. None of that is consistent with someone who doesn't care. I think too many wrongly inferred from her laid-back demeanour on ITT that she was likewise laid-back when it came to training and the contest itself. As I said that just didn't appear to be the case. I also agree that she seems to have got a great deal out of the experience and especially in term of friendships she struck up with people on the show. |

For me she wasn't 'robbed' by the judges . Overall she was just outside the top 3 this series on dancing merit.
As to whether or not the voters generally gave Holly a fair deal, that's a difficult assessment. It's in the nature of these shows that viewers constantly misjudge contestants and make unfair/biased assumptions about them (although that can work both ways obviously). I suspect Holly was a victim of this in several crucial respects. That 'said'. I can see why the Holly & Artem partnership might not have captured the imagination as effectively as some of the other partnerships - to the point that I half expected them to leave much earlier. |

Far to serious and unkind
Everyone has their favourites even Bruceie and it would be normal to defend them but some of the comments on here are out of order and rude
one or two have sugeested (and been ignored) that either Holly was injured or pregnant I am not mystec Meg so I dont know but i think if you repaly Hollys 2nd dance there did seem to be less intensity than her first dance and I said while they were danceing she looks like she is carrying an injury I assumed it was very recent because her first dance (what ever you think of her ability) was much better presented / had more fealing /intensitity I wouldnt be so rude to say the second dance was lackluster but i thought it was clear something had happed and the audiance response at the end was not the overblown standing ovation - more like polite applause - so I took that to mean they had picked up something was wrong too Do I think she was robbed No my hunch is she hurt herself in her first dance imho |

No she most certainly was not robbed!!! For the first time ever, I think the dancers in this years final are the most deserving

No, not robbed. At times her dances were better than others but she is not quite in the top three league. She did jolly well though. I really like her.
