Agree. I think if they had done this last year, we would maybe even have had two different couples in the final.
I think so too - I suspect we would have had J, Georgia, Anita and Helen (which would have been the right 4 in my opinion, although the final 4 that we got in the end all were justifiable also (Katie perhaps less so) so I don't think there was a huge wuzrobbed situation).

ETA - appear to have wandered off topic a bit - this is a spoiler thread for this year! Am looking forward to tonight.

I wonder if they asked the other celebs for a comment after Jay & Aliona's Jive.

Pressure!

Not that I can recall, but Tess did comment off-camera that she was disappointed not to see them reprise it in the final last year.

Here is my 5p on the final (and semi final and quarter final).

Spoiler
Was a good read, but what you have to remember that everyone has their own view on dances and dancers and there is always going to be disagreement as it is all a matter of taste and what appeals to the viewer, even judges disagree widely and why there is a complicated system applied when compiling judges marks in comps.

I had to learn early on whilst viewing the show that it is not a dancing competition as a dance professional it used to really bug me when imo the wrong results occurred a lot of the time - once i accepted the fact that the dancing is not the most important part of the show learnt to enjoy it again. I now bite my fingers on twitter or forums not to comment on some things especially on twitter where posters who because they have been viewing for years think they are 'experts' and post stuff so technically wrong

Imo the final last year was a bit lack lustre and cannot put my finger on why - I know it is widely expressed re Kevins tango last year that it was overmarked but you have to take it context to the marks given to the other finalists and out of all the finalists I still think it was the most improved dance from when it was first done and so had no problem with the mark (which never counted towards the result )

That was what was so pathetic about all the whinging on here and elsewhere about scoring on final night. It had no impact on result. Scores don't count. It was bizarre Jay won but his fans acted as though he'd lost because of what they saw as unfair scoring by judges of one of Kelly's dances. As I said earlier it was all about the inflated view of his brilliance and expectation not being fulfilled.

I didn't vote in final last year. Pointless. Just sat back and enjoyed the dances. They weren't the best and the sense of drama/anticipation wasn't there for the result but it brought season to close well enough.

Hello again everyone. I hope you are all well!

I didn't realise tonight's show was pre recorded. I just looked on DS to see what threads were already going for SCD 2016, and came across this one.

TERRIFIC!!!!!

Thanks so much for the advance info. I can't wait for the show tonight now .

ps Lesley & Anton were a foregone conclusion don't you think?

When did this turn from a spoiler thread to a dissing Jay's fans thread?

Try and tell it to the Jay stans. Good luck with that.

About the time the bitter Kellie fans got going.

Lesley was one of the last two women to be paired up (along with Tameka), so both she Anton were probably expecting it by that point. She seems like she's just there to have a good time and I'm sure she'll gel well enough with Anton for that to happen. She is a little short for him, though, so don't be surprised to see some lift-heavy routines earlier on...
Thanks for that, Stig. I'm not going to be able to watch tonight, so I really appreciate you answering all our questions.
