The thing I love most about this thread is the absolute glee with which we post our opinions finally setting them free and then blatantly scroll down and shout WTF???? At someone else's!

I could never get behind the Louis love, I couldn't get past the sight of his enormous hands.
I like James Jordan and Ola and think they used to do well with very mediocre celebs (no one could have done anything with Iwan
Always liked Aliona
Didn't like Lilya

Here is one that may well leave me in a minority of one.
Ouch.

I thought Mark Ramprakash was massively overrated and was not even a deserving winner of the series in which he competed. Ouch. I'm going to hide in the nearest cupboard before everyone throws things at me. Lol.

I felt the same about Abbey. Couldn't for the life of me see why she won and why she was so popular. But hey each to their own.

You are definitely not the only one - because I've never thought he was that great either!

I agree with Abbey a bit, liked her waltz, but that quickstep in the final and even at Blackpool was grossly overmarked.

In the final she had huge gapping, out of time in the leap and a poor frame. Yet all the tens?

He was a man who looked good and wasn't terrible at latin.

Could not agree more

I would prefer Alesha as a judge than Darcy.

Bruno is hilarious.

Jake Wood's bum wiggling was as nauseating as it gets.

Pamela Stephenson was an attention-seeking overblown pain in the behind and I was delighted when she was voted out.

Aliona is quite nice and can be a much better choreographer than she is sometimes given credit for.

Zoe Ball ruins ITT.
Agree 100% with all the above, BIB I giggled like a schoolgirl when she left. One of the finest moments of Strictly.

I think that at least 50% of the dresses are vile.

thats just bollocks.

in other opinions, some of the self professed experts on the board are risible . those i respect are the ones who are quietly informative and don't feel the need to shove their expertise down everyone's throat at the expense of any real content.

and mark ramprakash was rubbish.

I've stuck my head in there once or twice but I couldn't work out all the acronyms (TTF?) so slunk out again.

Definitely! Very surprising winner, basically on the basis of her week 1 waltz. Her latin really wasn't good.

Can't stand Kara Tointon or Artem Chigvintsev - I thought they had all the personalities of robots (Ka-ra and R-Tem).

How the hell did Susanna Reid get to the final a few years back? The woman is vile!!

I thought I'd managed to bury that nightmare but I couldn't resist posting on this thread.

Alesha is, and always will be, a goddess.

I like the VW.

I'm glad Tom Chambers won, mostly because of the showdance.

And that was probably the last good showdance!

I don't understand people who vote for or against the pros rather than the celeb/zelebs.

I can't tell the difference between a salsa and a samba.

I really wish that Bruno, Len and Darcy would remember that the scoring goes from 1-10, it would lead to a much more honest range of marks.

I don't miss any of the former pros, even the ones I really liked. How quickly I forget!

Artem has the eyes and the soul of a shark.
