I'm with you on that, Brian. I wouldn't mind if Louise won. I'd prefer Danny to but I stopped caring after Ed Balls went out tbh. And definitely stopped caring after last weeks farce!! The only one I don't want to win is Ore.

The final is much less nerve wrecking than last year - that's for sure ”

Yes good luck for your first night on RHS georgia go smash it!! 👌👌 thanks for wishing her luck from all of us star

And yes the final will be a much safer place this weekend! I can still feel the stress of last year

Though I very much think that it will be Danny walking away with the glitterballl, I think him being in the dance off last week will actually be an advantage to him in that it'll encourage people who didn't vote for him because they felt he was a certainty to win will actually now pick up the phone and vote.

I did look at post 14461, and quickly erased it from my memory - even if I'd found Giovanni attractive previously, I wouldn't possibly be able to now after what his behaviour towards Georgia.
”

Kevin and Louise's AT is the only dance of theirs which stood out for me, too, and his choreography is a lot less frantic this year, probably because Louise is more "introverted" than Kellie was so he's choreographed to suit her, but I can remember most of Danny's dances and I loved their samba so am very pleased they'll be dancing that in the final ..... Ore has done some lovely dances too, especially his jive and "Singing in the Rain", so it should be a great final

bib ... I don't see how Gio's behaviour makes him less attractive looks-wise

oh well, it will soon be Christmas, the season of goodwill to all men ...... or most of them

Ore and Joanne. I Got Rhythm (George and Ira Gershwin)
Danny and Oti. Set Fire to the Train (Adele)
Louise and Kevin. One Moment In Time. (Whitney Houston)

All three pieces seem good for a Showdance?

I hope Ore wears tails for his dance, have to admit I don't know the Adele song but I'm SO pleased Danny and Oti are dancing their fab samba again

Ooh I'm extremely curious about this snapchat!!

Yes, that's the same with me for Kevin and Louise, though I seem to remember quite enjoying their American Smooth (to 'Big Spender') I think but can't remember much of the actual dance which probably isn't a good sign!

Yes Ore's Jive was the one dance of his that stood out to me, so I'm glad they've chosen that for the final.

Danny's record breaking Samba was also clearly very good - just wish GG had been given the chance to do their Samba again.

With regards to the 'attractiveness' debate, generally I would have to find someone at least a little bit attractive on the inside if I were to find them attractive on the 'outside' too!

'Goodwill to all men' - that's rather gendered language but I believe it has biblical origins so that isn't entirely surprising!
Here's another biblical quote much may be even more appropriate for Giovanni - "do to others as you would have them do to you" - in other words, if Giovanni expects me to be giving him good will after what he has 'do[ne] to others' then he's got another thing coming!!

and you obviouly didn't look at post no. 14461 did you... it's one of my favourites

they certainly do

what about me ..... I'm free then ”

Ruby if you had a 'thud' moment on deck and the big boat rolled a bit you'd be off the bloody side and Claire, Star and Patch would be too busy 'entertaining' Gorka to even notice you'd gone overboard 😂😂

Hi Anne . How cold was it here today. I was Christmas shopping in town and I was freezing. Town wasn't too busy thankfully. I even managed to get parked in St Vincent Street. 😀

Loved, loved, loved Kevin and Louise's AT!

I loved Danny's Samba but I also loved his QS.

Really don't like Ore so I can't think of anything

Well done Georgia! Look forward to reading the reviews and seeing pictures from Rocky. I hope some of her Strictly friends manage to see her and how she has developed in the past year with her singing, dancing and acting. Strictly was the perfect confidence booster she needed.

Poor Gorka is still not in a good place. New quote liked by him:

https://instagram.com/p/BN-mGKzhaKV/

If Georgia wasn't with motor bike man then I think she and Gorka would make a lovely couple. They both seem to have a kind caring heart, fun loving and gorgeous as well.

Right I'm running off before Star, Patch, Claire and Ruby start throwing things at me!

Hello - thank you Afton for alerting me to the fact that we were back up and running over Twitter!

Nope, doesn't look any different - but their latest announcement about the forum changes suggests the closure was just about transferring user data rather than the full upgrade - so I would be expecting changes any time soon!

But HELLO again everyone - I've missed you all!!

Quick update on all the stuff Georgia has been doing lately (I'm sure most of you have seen it all) - she's certainly been busy!

Georgia in a church!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BN_-JzlgijP/ - with the caption ‘always with me’ – though I lean more towards the Stephen Fry interpretation of that.

She's also been having a look around Oxford.

A rather lovely picture of Georgia as Columbia

And the theatre is on a street named after her.

Below are some very positive tweets about Georgia and the RHS production -

And it’s surely the mark of a fabulous actor when, despite all the pressures of performing each day, you’re still able to have a conversation about prawns in the middle of the day

And also be able to give birthday retweets to fans - https://twitter.com/GregBennett94/st...0154174189568?

There’s also been quite a few articles about Georgia in the new show – all worth a quick look as there’s different pictures of her performing in each one.
This one has got a lot of pictures - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ror-debut.html

Lovely to see the thread up and running again.

I wonder if Georgia will continue with stage shows she obviously does them so well very different from TV.

Delighted tonight to hear Gethin speaking so well of Claudia.

Thank you so much Afton for keeping us up to date on thread.

Welcome back,It's been a quiet few days.
Thanks Brian for updates on Georgia. Anyone else looking forward to the final tomorrow? I know some of you are not bothered. I am hoping we get some great dances and Danny and Oti win,not sure they will but hope so.

Most welcome!

I reckon Danny will win, but if Louise wins I think she has GG, or more specifically Georgia to thank for the victory...

So here's my theory -
Last year GG were supposed to perform the Argentine Tango to "Tanguera" by Sexteto Mayor.
Due to Georgia's illness (presumably) they weren't able to do the dance.
The fact that they weren't able to do that dance to that song last year, meant that Louise and Kevin were able to dance to that exact same song this year (I would think it unheard of for them to have used a song two years in a row).
Louise and Kevin are performing this dance with that song in as their favourite dance from this series.
So if they win - they have Georgia to thank partially for being ill, as without it they wouldn't have been able to perform that dance!

You see, this is what happens when I don't have the thread to post on for a couple of days - I spend my time coming up with ridiculous theories like this!

Hi everyone! I've missed you all. Not bothered who wins but looking forward to seeing Team Glitterballs back together yay!

I know Brian has posted this Instagram from Georgia already but I just wanted to point out the cute exchange of messages between Georgia and motor bike man:

https://instagram.com/p/BOAQ2fKAAk9/

I see he has gone to have a new tattoo today:

Isn't odd that all the available pro-dancers are on the live tour. That's quite a change in format? They must have more money available this year!

Thank you Jammy and Brian for all the up dates !

The Strictly Tour looks like it will be bigger and better than ever !

I am loving the Georgia/George interactions - very sweet and lovely.

Really great to be back and just in time for the final !

I'm here

...... missed this thread more than I expected to, but it was bad planning to close it in the week before the final. I enjoyed ITT tonight and thought it was quite emotional when the friends and family were shown on film, I noticed Louise's husband and Ore's wife were there, but not Danny's girlfriend ..... I'm assuming he's got one

(EE was emotional too, there's something very endearing about a nativity play

)

I'm looking forward to it very much and think we have some good finalists this year, I like all of them and they've all done some fab dances, especially Danny - who my dance teacher thinks will win

and still no sign of NDD
