I think we could be seeing another Abbey Clancey situation here. Ore and Danny could split the vote there and Louise sneaks in and wins the entire thing. I will be upset with that as even though she is a good dancer she has no wow factor.

Oh God what an awful week of Clifton pushing we've got ahead of us and looks like a Kevin win! Happy Christmas! #guttedfordannyandoti

not rigged, I voted for her for the first time this series, there will have been a lot of people like me

well let's get behind Danny: an absolutely brilliant dancer!

Erm.... some favourite pros left the show of their own free will and pursued other things.

Ore has worked with darcy at the ROH, a 10 is a given.

Snap!

My family are huge Louise supporters.

They're turned off by Danny because they think he's just been a ringer all way through the show.

Len and Claudia emphasising that Ore was a beginner must have helped...I wonder why he didn't dance at his own wedding, he's a showman and a natural dancer? Also having his mum and dad there having flown over from Nigeria...people would go aww can't have him going home when they've done that. I did enjoy Louise's tango more than any of her previous dances. But I really thought Claudia deserved to be in the final. Shame they couldn't all have made it.

I'm so glad Louise wasn't in the DO. The OTT hate for here, and loud minority on sm have made me vote for the first time, for Louise. She's a lovely, graceful, beautiful woma, who dances well.

Yes, I thought they really crow-barred Ore into that top spot this week.

Thanks to the mole and all who have organised the spoilers this year.

Shame about Claudia but at least she went out on a high.

Seconded to the max - I was so hoping Louise would be in the DO tonight.

Caroline and Abbey were both in the dance-off a long way before the final. Danny falling into the dance-off in the semi-final is a whole different kettle of fish.

And no, the showdance really doesn't change anything.

It's on daily mail online about voters not getting through. Seems comments on there thought Claudia and Danny were best. Also mentions Claudia is out. Everyone will know who's out even if they preferred not to.

Seriously? I don't get your logic at all. If anything after the unfair marking of Ore and Claudia all the way through (without having dance training), why would you want a Danny/Louise win (I get that Louise is partnered with Kevin Clifton but your logic is a bit hard to follow). Stuff Danny or Louise, it should have been between Claudia or Ore. We can make Ore win which is better than the other of you are still mad? Let's have a non-trained person winning.

I called tonight: The Final Part 1 as I'd like to think that this was just a part of the final and that originally, 4 COUPLES were meant to be in the final.

But I also think, the voting problems didn't do any favours.

Really really deflated and upset by this. She didn't deserve to go. I understand that Danny probably is the better dancer out of the two of them so the judges DO decision makes sense. Anyone else in the dance off and she could have beaten them with her QS. She certainly danced better than Louise tonight.

Quite!
It's football fans voting for Louise.

Louise is also a ringer though to be fair. At least if she wins Kevin finally might get a duffer next year

I still think Danny will win. This is just a blip. Hell I might even vote for him next week.

I voted for Ore / Claudia tonight as I felt they deserved a place in the final.

Wanted Danny Vs Louise.

Trust me though, if Danny is the best dancer on the final he will get my votes. Just like how I dropped my Susanna votes / Jake Wood votes.

I've read some daft things on this forum over the years but that's up there with the most ridiculous. Never mind factually untrue!

Louise must be pretty popular to have avoided the DO after two pretty poor dances. Interestingly, out of all the finalists, she has NEVER been in the B2.

Just so gutted for Claudia and AJ though. Thought they danced magnificently tonight and that QS was amazing. It just seemed that the judges just didn't take to them and as Tristan pointed out last year on ITT with Jamelia, this show is all about opinions. At least she went out on what was her best dance. Massive congrats to AJ as well for dong such a good job!

I knew it would be Claudia

thanks for the spoilers this series guys, really appreciated

don't care who wins now

The anti-Clifton thing on here seemed to largely come about from Kevin being a perceived threat to Jay's victory.

The general public barely even remember that Jay took part, thus they aren't still holding a grudge!

Seriously, some people need to let it go already!

I doubt Danny is going to win. I think the DS community has been seriously underestimating Louise's popularity with the general public all along (and I say this as someone who would want Ore to win)
