Can I just say I appreciate how they always put Danny and AJ in proper trousers? I think Oti must insist on them for Danny and AJ must prefer them for himself. I hate when they give them normal pants (or jeans!) with the pockets gaping open!

But now I know they're glitterballs it all makes sense! The glitterballs represent Strictly, of course, and they are on the conveyor belt in order to convey a sense of time passing, one glitterball appearing at regular intervals as the years go on. The four glitterballs that Kevin and Louise pick up and put in boxes represent the four series that Kevin has competed in. They are being picked up from a conveyor belt and put into boxes because of course Kevin hasn't won yet - he has the memories of each of those four series but he doesn't own any of those glitterballs (yet...) so he and Louise can only pack them up for someone else's benefit at the moment. Having finished putting the glitterballs away (to the lyric of "You say that you love me/ All of the time" - the show says it loves Kevin and his partners because they always reach the final but at the end of it, where's the proof? He doesn't win, he just has empty words and too few votes), Kevin and Louise get up to dance because of course the two of them are still in the competition and as we saw with the conveyor belt, time keeps on going and it takes them with it.
At the end Louise herself is on the conveyor and she falls off the end into Kevin's arms, which I think has two possible interpretations. Louise at this point puts herself in the position of one of the glitterballs on the conveyor belt and allows Kevin to display her at the end as his prize. Does that mean that Louise is Kevin's prize, regardless of whether or not he gets to take a glitterball home at the end of this series (has Louise convinced Kevin that winning isn't the most important thing - does he now think that dancing with Louise is the ultimate prize for this series no matter what?) or has Louise, by jumping onto the conveyor belt, metaphorically turned herself into the glitterball trophy for this year (is this an attempt at magical thinking - if they believe hard enough that Louise is the winner then hopefully it will come true?).
Or, you know, something else happened. ”
Bravo. You have put more thought into that than TPTB into the entirety of all of the dances put together - of the last few series!
