Strangely enough Danny, Louise and Ore are all touring funny that, Same as Kellie last year. What a stitch up the only 2 dancers i look forward to seeing every week are Claudia and Danny. Craig was the only person scoring correctly at the weekend. Darcy put Danny in the DO with her 9.
Bring back the 4 man final i was really looking forward to Claudia's show dance now nobody will ever see it

Kellie wasn't on the tour last year.

Even if Claudia won she would possibly still not tour because she will be competing in some pretty big events next year including the British Championships in March and also the World Cup at the O2 in April. Plus there will be all the oversea events and training/qualifying for the Commonwealth Games in 2018.

.please ease off with the conspiracy theories...the three finalists have been the best dancers throughout the competition.... Claudia's a good dancer and she's improved but she wasn't as consistent as the other three and that was reflected in the judging...stop sulking because your favourite is out

Claudia shouldn't have even been in the Semi Finals.

She should have been eliminated week 9 (Blackpool) but the Judges saved her over Greg who out danced her

Danny is in the dance off because the public gave him less votes than Ore and Louise. End of story.

The tour conspiracy will keep on running for as long as the tourists keep miraculously getting to the final. It has plenty of legs left.

Kellie was in the final last year despite not being able to do the tour and she was a big favourite with the judges.

I could have told Claudia wouldn't win, BECAUSE SHE WASNT THE BEST DANCER, and her partner was more interested in himself. NOT because she is t doing the tour.

She was always undermarked and better than the judges made out.
She more than deserved a spot in the final after how great she was on Saturday night.

Kellie didnt do the tour and the judges were crazy for her to win.

Alesha didn't do the tour and yet not only did she win, they made her a bloody judge!

I will never subscribe to this theory.

Yet they got their own back on her for outdancing Danny the favourite ( who's been miles ahead for weeks) in the dance off .

Somebody's got it it in for a young, vibrant, talented and beautiful lad haven't they?

I get what you are saying but I really found it hard to listen to AJ. He was so wooden, twice as bad as Tess and didn't listen to the judges half the time. I think Claudia possibly may have blossomed earlier with another pro.

If he returns next year he will probably grow and improve his delivery.

For his debut, I think he's fared better than some. I agree though, its a learning curve and after finding his feet, he will develop his own trademark style. I get the feeling the likes of Brendan look out for him

Thank goodness for a voice of reason. There was no chemistry between them and he was too tall for her.

The first time I really enjoyed AJ was during their Rhumba which although I felt was a bit pants I believed him. More of that and I will change my views on him. Yes he seems popular with the other Pros, Jo and Kevin bigged him up too.

I didn't see the DO last night after knowing the result in advance; nice that more established pros big up his confidence then he's done well for his first series getting to the semis

Three cheers for common sense.

They were well and truly thwarted last year

Any one would have been too tall for Claudia though, bar trawlling the junior ranks for an actual 12 year old they went for the best fit height/age-wise.

Exactly that's why she didn't win

A 10 from Darcy would have given him joint top spot and 4 points

TPTB had nothing to do with that. Jay had such a huge fan base, Kellie was never going to win also her and Kevin were marmite.

Well Darcey didn't think it merit a 10, this is why she only gave him a 9
