Although there are some pros I'd like to see get contenders, as someone who felt it was a shame for Katie that her Strictly experience should have been all about her getting Anton to the final, instead of Anton getting Katie to the final, I'd rather wait and see which celeb I'd like to see get to the final this year, rather than debate which pro I'd like to see get to the final.

it was about her getting anton to the final, that was the storyline so to speak to see Anton finally make the final after 12 series of not doing so

I got the impression Katie enjoyed being part of Anton's storyline and was quite happy for him to take the spotlight at times.

couldn't agree more. only 2 things would have made it better
1 if he got a 10
2 if he won

I would love to see Kevin winning purely for the reason of seeing this forum imploding, catching fire, being hit by a tsunami, flooded, hit by an earthquake which would provoke a volcano eruption, and then have lava expelled all over it. That would be fun! *thumbs up*

Which is highly unfair to the contestant.

She didn't exactly have a choice in the matter. That was the storyline she was lumbered with and she had to deal with it.



It's entirely possible Katie didn't mind being there to drag her pro partner to the final, instead of him being the one to get her to the final. That doesn't make it right or fair. That's not what a celeb's purpose on Strictly is meant to be.

I couldn't agree more. I felt quite annoyed for Katie and it's not the only time she's been dragged into someone else's drama.

I agree with you that production went over the top with pushing the Anton storyline. To be fair to Anton though I do think he gave Katie an enjoyable experience and some excellent ballroom choreography. He's a good teacher.

I think Katie would have left the competition sooner if it wasn't for the entertainment aspect Anton brought to their Latin, she is a very talented dancer but with some limitations. They clearly got on well and the sophisticated image projected by their partnership suited her public profile. Her public profile was enhanced by her Strictly run in my view and it's great she's involved in taking Strictly to the Proms.

I get the vibe we could get a 2 day finale this year considering we will have so many couples, I'd like it if we could have 6 couples in the final with a double elimination on the first day and a single elimination the next day leaving the three horse race as if it were.

It's certainly her time. Although I've been saying this for years and she's been landed with duds. We can only hope this will be her year!
