1) Why didn't Jay and Aliona do the jive ?
2) Kellie fab but there's still something about her and Kevin that I don't like...
3) Georgia is amazing, would love her to win
4) Love how Craig keeps his 10 paddle for something he thinks is extra special
5) Great seeing all the ex contestants back, Jeremy Vine xx

And a cheeky 6th point- The Second half was AMAZING, some of the best dancing I've ever seen, anyone of Kellie, Jay and Georgia deserve to win.

1. Kellie and Kevin have relied on a lot of gimmicks in their dances e.g. costumes and props and were overmarked in the final
2. Definitely wrong finalists
3. Although debatable whether or not she should have been there, the judges seemed a bit harsh on Katie
4. Not a brilliant final
5. Judges made their favourites obvious and it's time Len was put out to grass

Cheeky 6. I genuinely thought Jay and Aliona's Paso was the best danced of the second half. Darn Craig.

6) Most underwhelmed reaction to a winning ever - there wasn't an air of celebration from anyone which was unsual?
7) Shocking that there was no mention of history being made after taking 11 years for a pro to win twice.
8) Always good to see everyone return and to remember how they faired through the series.
9) Would have loved to have seen Katie's VW (possibly 10 worthy?) instead of the Quickstep - she deserved to come 4th.
10) Would love to see a final next year of 3 strong male dancers but without the 'young obvious winner' tag attached.

Janelia looked good in the group dance
Loved the reaction of the singers /band on Jays win.
Wish Aliona Jay would have danced right at the end.
Saved it all again to watch tomorrow.
What am I going to do with my Saturday nights !! Sad but true

Am so happy Jay won.

Craig could have given him a 10, what a nasty man he is.

I do feel for Kevin, 3 times a bridesmaid, never a bride.

I've really had enough of both Anton and Len now.

I would love to be at the wrap party tonight!!

1. Can we ban Charleston and anything resembling Charleston from the show now?
2. Sad to see a showdance that actually showcased all a celeb had learned over the series get such stick from the judges.
3. That tango wasn't worth an 8, let alone four 10's.
4. The judges, both during and after the show, were very unfair in their favoritism and veiled insults.
5. Anyone who says this is the worst winner has obviously forgotten Chris Hollins who couldn't even dance and yet won the show.

1) I hope Craig is thoroughly ashamed that he never gave Jay and Aliona a 10

2) Aliona Vilani is an amazing teacher and choeographer

3) Jay McGuiness is such a quiet, reserved guy in public but he shows such expression with his dancing and thoroughly deserved to be the Strictly Champion.

4) Claudia Winkleman is a legend.

5) I am feeling rather sad that Strictly 2015 is over.

1) I really loved Georgia and Jay's showdances. They were both brilliant.
2) Katie became painful to watch by the time she did her second dance. It was just so blindingly obvious that she didn't belong there, and this was all thanks to Darcey, Len and Bruno. Anita should have been in the final.
3) I found myself wanting Georgia to win by the time we saw her final VT. She's just been on such a journey, and is so likable. Would have been happy for any of the Final 3 though.
4) I love all the little things on final night that make it an event; all the VTs for example. The group dance(s) were great as well.
5) It's been a fanstastic series. Roll on SCD '16!

1) Wish Jay has gotten 40
2) I LOVED the eliminated group dance! It's my favourite part!
3) I wish Katie placed top 3
4) TBH I didn't mind the result as long as Kellie didn't win
5) Well done Jay! Would've preferred Anita though.....

Sneaky 6) Remember how I said I'd just sit back and relax? I was so nervous the whole time!

1. Both group dances were imaginative, exciting and funny - well done to all concerned - the opening one must have involved a lot of takes as it was all done on one moving shot, until they reached the dance floor (I had to watch it again, it was so good). Jeremy on his horse reining in Craig was sublime.

2. I've not been an especial fan of G&G until this evening - wow! Their rumba was sooo exciting, the choreography and daring of the blindfold bit was stunning and Giovanni is such a generous partner.

3. Jay's shaping in the Paso was delicious.

4. Kevin and Kellie's precision in the Charleston was superb.

5. This, for me, has been the best Strictly Final - FAB U LOUS.

1) Utterly amazed at what Georgia was able to do with a blindfold on, as it would massively impair balance and movement. Incredible skill! She has so much energy when she dances, so could have amazed with a different style. I thought her showdance showed her journey into a very lyrical and elegant dancer, but perhaps relied too much upon that blindfold section and technical substance for an overall wow factor? Especially as she'd already had to repeat rumba. Tough dance to be given when trying to make an impact, especially with such slow music. Thought she did it really well.
2) Charleston was my amazing dance of the night and think it killed Kellie's momentum, as her dancing suddenly looked weaker when they did the same dance back to back.
3) Judges being so heavily pro-kellie really irritated me, despite her dancing really well in the first half. (although will always hate smiling in a tango!) Thought charleston and showdance were a little too similar, but showdance was a belter!
4) Jay not doing jive felt like a cop out, as the final was crying out for a repeat. Didn't matter whether they could match the performance - I felt a little cheated as a viewer that they didnt even try to do so. I thought he looked hit by nerves tonight. His technique is so good it remains solid...apart from in hold... But I felt nerves leaked into his performance in the first half. Stage presence, feel & expression hasn't been there enough for me to pull for him this season, but funnily enough, I thought he brought it to his final dance. Wouldn't have been my winner, but no denying he has a lot of skill as a dancer. Well done to them for producing some great dancing before tonight to have built the tide of support that carried them through.
5) I won't miss watching Darcey Bussell doing the judges entrance... She was a legend & yet I now shudder watching her move. I also shuddered at the pro's reaction when Jay was announced winner. A little awkward!

Ps - nice touch for Len to apologise to Giovanni. Talking of Giovanni - he's been my highlight of the series.

1. Jay & Aliona's showdance was lacklustre and entirely forgettable
2. Georgia & Giovanni's showdance was innovative and creative
3. Kellie & Kevin's showdance was a REAL showdance
4. Jay learned a second facial expression when the result was announced. He now has "vaguely smug" - to accompany "gormless"
5. At the first camera shot up to the celebs and pros in the Clauditorium, most of them looked less than thrilled at the result.

1. It was pretty much a given that Katie would finish 4th.
2. Before the program I commented "welcome to the Jay and Aliona show".
3. After the 3 dances, I thought either Kellie or Georgia for the win.
4. The result was a f*cking travesty.
5. It hasn't done any help to dismiss predetermined result rumours.

1) The final format doesnt work
2) go back to finalists dancing highest scoring ballroom and latin
3) do these dances first
4)eliminated couple in 2nd half to do showdance as a "goodbye" dance
5) followed by the others


sneaky 6th was Jay so far ahead in the public voting that the judges were harsh to him? did nothing for my blood pressure

1. Second year in a row there have been too many Charlestons in the final - add a lindyhop this time too and it was all a bit samey
2. If marking on series overall then I thought Jay deserved his win, but Georgia better tonight
3. Judges, celebs and pros all seemed to be supporting Kellie - those in the Clauditorium chanting 10 etc - it can't have felt great for the other finalists and I don't think the result was very popular up there having seen the looks on the pros faces in particular
4. Wish I was going to the wrap party!
5. So sad it's all over for another year, what on earth will I do with all this free time?

And an even worse, Darren Gough what a plank

BIB 3. If somewhat messy and over marked

BIB 5. Yes then zooming in on the distraught Clifton clan who make up 27% of the Pro dancers in that auditorium I'm sure they would all be jumping for joy at Kevin being 0 for 3

1. close final
2. close shave final for Katie
3. too close - dancing styles for each contestant bar Georgia
4. too close to call
5. too much for Anita supporters, for whom a much worthier finalist could be chosen from one of the dancers in this BBC clip:

I didn't think it was messy at all - and certainly wasn't overmarked. Even if it was, the marks don't count anyway, so what's your point?

The only Clifton I spotted in that brief camera shot was Karen... unless various other pro dancers have also now taken to calling themselves Clifton.

1. I'm going to miss Claudia. She makes me laugh so much.
2. Will miss the class of 2015.
3. Jamelia was fab in the final group dance. I wish her SCD journey had been better.
4. Loved seeing shots in the Clauditorium of the other celebs and pros supporting the final 4 then 3.
5. I'll miss the show but look forward to letting it go for another year.
