Thing about the final is it's all on the public vote which defuses a lot of potential outrage.
Very true, but that won't stop the outrage. Fill your bingo card with any of the following posts should somebody unpopular (Mark) actually win:

- Judges' unfair marking influencing viewers
- Dance order unfair on [insert name of favourite]
- Judges' Pick being unfair on [insert name of favourite]
- Wardrobe have it in for [insert name of favourite]
- Unpopularity/popularity of professional partner influencing the vote
- Music choice all wrong for [insert name of favourite]
- BBC conspiracy as telephone number for [insert name of favourite] engaged all evening*
- IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!

Did I miss any?




*my favourite, which comes up every year from people who don't realise it's the main number that is engaged, not the suffix.

I don't think Mark deserves to win, he's the weakest of the four. Caroline's a good dancer, but I just can't take to her. I guess I'd like Frankie to win, but as others have said, I don't really care any more since they threw out Pixie.

Mark of course, which is why I hope he wins. And gives such a overly long winners speech thanking Michelle, his family, his dentist, his year one teacher, his Towie cast and the whole universe to the point the show has to go on overtime angering even the viewers of the show scheduled after Strictly.

And Sylvia Young - just to really finish people off. Lol

I must say I'm amazed how many people seem able to say who does and doesn't deserve to win before any of them have danced "on the night".

I'm in the Anyone But Mark camp but I won't be outraged, or even a bit bothered if he wins.
I think the other three finalists are better dancers, and much less annoying people but if he wins, he wins. I think I'll have to switch off before the presentation of the trophy and his speech though! There's only so much I can take!

If he wins I have polished my mute button and ensured its working well

Perhaps because we've all been watching it for the past three months?

Well yes, but as I don't have a strong favourite among the four finalists I'll be voting for whoever I think dances best tomorrow.

I think we have to judge it on who gives the best performance (not necessarily the best dance technique on the night). I think the competition could be won or lost with the showdance.Two years ago I didn't think Louis Smith had a chance up until his showdance, which I thought it was different and amazing. His showdance made him a worthy winner in my opinion.
I think out of the final four Mark would be the least likely you'd expect to win. All the other couples are much better but those who have watch SCD for a long time know that dance ability doesn't always win over performance - Chris Hollins

Mark. He's had the best journey but...not the best dancer and not very exciting either.
If he wins I will be disappointed but as cross as when Chris Hollins won. Mark can at least dance quite well, and the show is supposed to be for beginners and intermediates not stage school trained performers.

I will make up my mind about voting for Frankie, Caroline or Simon after watching them dance, but I can completely understand others having already made up their mind who to vote for. The series has been on for three months, and many of us on here also watch ITT five nights a week so there's been plenty of time to work out who entertains us best and which celebs we connect with (or not as the case may be!)

Kevin haters, just look at this way: the sooner Kevin wins, the less likely he is to win in years to come.

I think Mark & Karen would cause the most outrage, followed by Simon then Caroline & Frankie tied at 'least likely to cause uproar'.

I'm amazed the Pixie fans have any toys left in their prams, but they're still being ejected in this thread. Quite impressive really.

I agree. I can't stand the thought of him winning and then being everywhere for the next 3 month with his forced grin, cheesy desperation, inane babbling and insincerity oozing out of him on every chat show going.
He'll be like the new Peter Andre and one of those is already too many

I want Caroline to win, I'd be OK with Frankie or Simon winning, I don't want Mark to win. If he did though I wouldn't be outraged, just slightly miffed then I'd have forgotten about it by Sunday morning. There are more important things to worry about to be honest.

Maybe they should give Mark the Everyman™ trophy as consolation prize? He does seem to be trying rather hard for it.

You mean thanking her for confirming that he only ever had drama classes and never had a dance lesson. Or do you think she's immoral and lied?

It will only finish off those who are so biased as to still think he spent 10 years learning to dance rather than believe the integrity of the school's principal.


Whoever wins will be the right winner because that's who the public have voted to win.

Definitely Mark.

It won't happen, but the reaction on here would be glorious though. There would be a queue of people proclaiming they were flouncing 2015's show in protest.
Yes, but I think if Mark won, it wouldn't be just a bluff. Even my wife, who has been a crazy Strictly fan since the first series, would call it a day if Mark won.

But it might be worth seeing it happen, just to watch the reaction.
