It was all done for Anton. Plus Len is a stickler for the rules and Gleb didnt follow that.
Anita was by far a better dancer, pity she got Gleb

I don't think Anita would have won nor that she was a fantastic dancer but she is far superior to Katie. What a bleddy joke, all about Tony Beke!

Rubbish and nonsense. The judges have been most ungracious to Katie.

Feel bad for her tonight, they were very harsh.

Nothing wrong with Katie, it's the awful Anton. He isn't up to scratch anymore (was he ever?)

A shame we had to watch sub standard dancing in what could have been an amazing final. Getting 7s in a final is shameful.

They have, and Jay was not up to finalist standard tonight, much as I have loved him in the past. Not the finest hour for Strictly either tonight.

I like Katie, but I do think the judges are too hard on her compared to the others, kellie and Kevin were way overmarked in my opinion and Jays comments didn't reflect in his scores

Agreed! Vote Jay!

Neither Anita nor Katie should have got there - Helen should have.

Though I bet Anita and Gleb would have done a better showdance - their "Salsa" showed that!

I dont think Anita would have won ( she was my fave ) but I do believe she and Gleb would have produced far better performances in the final.

come on PIXIE!!!!

Craig made it pretty obvious she shouldn't have been in the final. He was the only one not to vote for her in the Dance-off. Katie is lovely but way out of her league and it isn't fair on her.

Well Katie was in the final so get over it !

I have now shes out. But dont tell me what to do Mum!

Well, if you have three ringers, someone has to make up the numbers.

Helen and Katie AIUI had some ballet background, but nowhere in the league of Kellie, J and G. And frankly it is unfair to expect those without extensi ve dance training to produce dances to the same level as those that have. And worse to criticise them for it.

All of which said, Katie absolutely *should* have been in the final because she beat Anita fair and square in the dance-off.

Definitely Katie should NOT have been in the final - it was embarrassing to watch her against the actual good dancers. Helen or Anita should have been there. So much favoritism and pushing of Katie by the BBC. Notice even at the very end of the celebrations there she was dead centre at the front of the group of dancers on the floor.

I would have liked Kellie or Georgia to win but Jay was a good dancer - and at least at the end Katie couldn't blag it!

Yay!

Luckily Anita is such a good sport, and she frankly deserves a better class of supporter.

This. ^^^

I really think it should have been Anita in the final personally,

I did like Katie, in fact she was my 1st night bet! (My son won with Jay👍🏻 well done to him, he got good odds back then!) BUT, I would have loved to see a Gleb show-dance, imagine it would have been amazing.

Hell yeah! If Anita got a look-in it might be even better!

Katie was miles below the others tonight. She was never Finalist standard, and it wasn't a surprise. But she didn't ask to be put through. It would've been kinder if they'd let her go last week.
