Thanks everyone involved with the Spoiler thread for keeping me entertained for the last three months, hope to catch up with all you lovely people next September when it all begins again.

In the words of Dave Allen

So glad Caroline won. I don't mind if a person's had previous dance 'training' ,or whatever. It depends also on how much they learn while on the show, and how far they evolve with this particular discipline IMO. And it depends on how much enjoyment they provide, surely? It was a lovely final, with good dancers, good dances, and in the end I enjoyed seeing Pasha's joy at winning. Such a straight up and down guy, no falseness. happy for him too.
Good night, many thanks to all for this thread. Happy Christmas, and great New Year 2015.

That was a really lovely thought, Ls, I wish I had seen this yesterday. As it turned out, I managed to get home in time for Part 2 - so all was not lost

The virtual betting office has now closed for the season but will re-open in September 2015 when the next Strictly starts. Merry Christmas to all virtual punters!
