I just knew Ore & Joanne would win this tonight....should have gone with my 1st instinct and not watched - serves me right!!!!
No more Strictly for me!!
Its been great reading all your posts & links to various things on here folks, and also things not too happy with ....so now a farewell. Georgia seems to have new man, hope she's happy (not my type at all and certainly not by last Instagram - please!!) and Gio seems happy in his world so a final goodbye to thread - keep being happy all of you!! It was a lovely fairytale to have witnessed but I think a 12 month on .. time to say goodbye!!
Good luck Georgia with whatever you do in your new world and to Giovanni too in his....whatever path he chooses in life, which certainly we know now is not with one another - fairytale sadly ends!!”
patti - I loved Tom and Camilla's showdance - I'll grant you that! I just couldn't bear him, I'm afraid. And I really didn't like Ali and Brian (she was sweet but bland and ugh, best I don't comment on him, but not a fan at all!!) Funny how we like different people - i guess it would be boring if we all liked the same. I do agree though that someone like Ali was better on the night than Chris Hollins (who was just very popular with the public), whereas this year - I do think Ore was the best on the night - even if Danny had been better across the series as a whole. My favourite winners ever were Kara and Artem - sublime.
EDIT - sorry, my mistake - Ali and Brian only got to the semi final not the final didn't they. But the point still remains that they were definitely better than Chris Hollins. I just didn't like them. Nor him much to be honest!
Farewell if you are leaving - nice "talking" to you. I seem to be only able to pop in here occasional now anyway - too busy all round. I still enjoy popping in to see how everyone is doing from time to time.
