I also predicted that we could have out first black Strictly winner this year as soon as Ore was announced. and, as a fellow Nigerian, I'm so happy he did it.
Didn't previously like Jo but she and Oti have been standout choreographers this year so very well done to her...especially as she was so gracious in sitting out last year. Proof that all good things come to those who wait!”
A friend of mine put a bet on Ore after week one. He's just won £200 ! Like a good racehorse he peaked perfectly!

Haha agree entirely and although my favourite Danny, didn't win, I will remember his samba, showdance, charleston AT and just about all his dances which gives great memories. Goodnight all and hats off to a great series.

They did very well tonight - congratulations! ”
Awwww, thank you Fudd, Ore did, but I didn't expect it and Danny's Samba was epic.
In previous years, the judges were so picky about hand shaping and not having Spatulistic hands..but clearly thats not important anymore.
Karen Hardy explained that Ore and Louises semi final dances were littered with errors..her words not mine.
And finally, winning with wobbles..remember how picky they were about Caroline and Kimberley needing to fix that..and yet we have wobbles getting 10s.
So glad i decided to boycott watching the final live..the clips and the comments on facebook were far more entertaining than the show which has sadly lost its shine.
i agree with previous poster Danny is the best dancer never to have won Strictly, and the final was lacklustre without Claudia.
Can I just say thank you all for keeping me entertained over the past 4 maths. It's been a pleasure reading and replying to all your messages. See you all next year and Happy Christmas.

Danny ballsed up the QS, so not sure what the point about semi-final dances is.
Agreed on Claudia though - no doubt should have had Louise's space
What a fantastic final. The comeraderie amongst the constestants is truly fantastic.
Well done Ore.
I was so torn between the two; danny & Ore but Ore really stepped it up tonight.
I'm so pleased Joanne was able to demonstrate what a fantastic dancer she is. The showdance swung it for me.
One of the best series of Strictly.
I liked Ore at the start but went off him 3 or 4 dances in. However I'm pleased for him. Sad Danny and Oti didn't win, though I'm aware it was mainly Oti I was rooting for so there's hope for another series if she's still in the show.
My favourite contestant was Ed, and his reappearance tonight gave me the most pleasure. But all in all a very watchable series and an unexpected but satisfactory end!
My thanks go to the people who have brought us spoilers - we were able to get them every night which is no mean feat!

It is just a theory”
And a rotten and stupid theory at that.
I can't believe how bitter some get when a TV programme doesn't give them the result they want. Makes me wonder how they cope with something important.
