Thanks for this!

Jay says he's "not smart"!?!?! He most certainly is very smart indeed. Oh Jay!

Guess what?
No rule on SCD final this year about not repeating dances close to the final.
Surely that wasn't a made up rule to try toforce Jay to do the jive???

Bit of a clue there! I see Ore's crime against jive is making a reappearance, which will no doubt send Len into rhapsodies of ridiculousness yet again. And a Beige AT too! Such treats.

Votes all to Danny and Oti, as they have been since day one.

As if TPTB would do such a thing! And maybe not just to get the jive. From Blackpool onwards they had such a strong run of dances - Samba, Tango, Rumba ( 💕 ), VW ( 💕💕 )Charleston - all brilliant in different ways.

In all the recent interviews J seems to stress how great a partner A was, how she protected him & had his back. It does make you wonder just how much pressure they were put under last year.

They're utterly transparent, aren't they?!

ETA I'm trying to laugh about it... but failing.

A tremendous amount: hence "On our terms" etc.

Just as well J and A are such mentally robust people.

From Aliona's angry tweet I should think an enormous amount, and it's testament to her stoicism that she clearly kept most of it away from Jay and enabled him to focus on the dancing. Nasty business, I don't like it at all - leaves a very sour taste in the mouth indeed.

But tonight's the night for happiness and light - our winner's taken his rightful place centre stage to what I'm sure will be a rapturous and very well deserved reception. All good!

Oh FFS

Jeez. The manipulation's hanging out all over the place, isn't it?

Agree with both your points here BB

As Whiffle has said, Jay has repeatedly talked about Aliona protecting him, so there was probably a lot of pressure to do as they were told by TPTB.

Just read that AJ said on ITT, that Claudia's QS would have won competitions. He obviously had not got the 'it is not really a dance competition' memo. Very sad. He won't be back next year though if he doesn't wise up. Sorry to go on about it but I am really cross about Claudia going out after that QS.

TT - I would have not have minded Ed in the final either (as long as not instead of Claudia).

But we have a lot of brilliant Big things to look forward to.

Thanks for the links etc Korky and Cato.

I think no - not while the Show is successful - doing what they are doing.

It's probably a more frustrating Show now for pros who have skills at all 10 dances and teaching and choreography skills - like Aliona, Vincent, Flavia etc. I'm happy for Aliona that she was able to have her happiest Strictly for her last one - thanks to being paired with Jay.

I think the producer was a bit worried that Jay might not be a success (due to nerves/shyness/lack of confidence), but although Aliona may be a bit harder to control, she was very capable of getting results. From their reactions when paired, I'd expect that both of them had made it very clear that they both wanted to be paired together.

Then it was time for some magic!

Great to see that everything went so well on press night!😀👏

Lovely that some of the Big original cast recordings have arrived, too.

As for allowing repetition of dances which were originally performed close to the final - meh, we already knew that this was a hastily made up rule last year, so I'm not at all surprised that this rule has been forgotten. It will now be interesting to find out the judge's choice dances......

Hi all. Once again thanking everyone for the pics, tweets, poems and reviews.

Polly so pleased you enjoyed Big (was there ever any doubt?) and got to meet the cast. A Jayhug too you lucky thing! Definitely won't be in Dublin, my wish for somewhere warm has come true, but I'll be there if Big comes to the West End. Another meet to look forward to!

jnb Ruari is so sweet and it's good he has a little friend. Hope you're getting better.

nelliek keep looking for those "dancy" horses, I'll keep all fingers crossed for a Big win!

Not much to add about the semi-final. Jellymum, on seeing the scoring just said 'I give up" - summed it up for me really.

Hugs to all in need.

Aw pity JellyL you won't make Dublin but I do understand the attraction of somewhere warmer ☀️Yes Big is WestEnd a strong possibility !
Press Night tonight for BIG in Dublin seems, so far, to have gone really well, judging from the very positive tweets from some of those who attended tonight (🇮🇪radio,TV& Press) Having seen it I am not surprised but, then, with the Press you can never be sure...so by the looks of comments so far..why was I even a tad worried??
So happy for Jay !
