No "Who are you looking forward to see tonight?" because it's the final and that would sound a bit daft, BUT...

...showdances! Some people love them, some people hate them. Who are you most excited to see and why?

I think Ore's going to be pretty special, it's right up Jo and Ore's alley. I'm expecting some special effects for Danny's, and Louise is (hopefully) going to do a Bacofoil 2!

What say you?

Me, I am!

I'm looking forward to all three, really. I feel like Louise & Kevin's sounds cheesy as hell, but I would like to be proved wrong

No, I am very excited, but I am only looking forward to seeing Danny and Oti.

Yes me from Jo and Ore, sounds like it could be the best one of the night if he delivers.

Danny & Oti's - After their amazing AS, AT & Paso I think their show-dance is a fusion of these and with Oti's choreography should be absolutely stunning.

Going by the music Ore and Joanne.
Not helped by the fact that I don't like either of the other songs

Have not really liked anything by Doti yet, so not expecting to like theirs, lots of contemporary wafting and some tricks I expect

Louise and Kev, their description on ITT sounds a bit like Jaliona last year which was a disappointment. Although Kev does usually pull of a great showdance so fingers crossed.

They each seem completely different so I can't pinpoint an individual dance, so all of 'em!

Well at least Danny's wafting beats standing still really surprised Ores not dancing to Frozen

The whole of Strictly is cheesy as hell so I'm looking forward to it Actually I am looking forward to them all.

I like all three couples, my perfect final when I don't dislike one of them.

Aw I feel you as a previous fan of Pixie and then Helen.

I'm looking forward to them all. Danny and Oti are my favourites and I love watching them dance, my favourite ever partnership...just magic, but I'm not mad about Adele. Only they could win me round! I like Ore and Joanne's music best and we saw what they did with Singin' in the Rain so that will be terrific. I think a balletic style will suit Kevin and Louise so that could be beautiful even though again I'm not mad about the song. I actually think for once they will all be good. Hopefully.

None of them really. I am not so keen on showdances these days. I am hoping at least one will involve feet on the dance floor and be elegant, understated and not a display of aerobatics.

I'm always really disappointed by them. Tom & Camilla's is the only one that has ever impressed me.

Saying that though Ore & Joanne - because of the music. I can't stand the other two songs so not looking forward to them at all.

I just hope they're fun. I think Danny's has more potential for Bacofoil 2, though Oti probably has better taste than Brendan so won't go full-on embarrassing. One can hope, though

Set fire to the rain could produce something mind blowing especially with Danny's ability.
It is one heck of a song. If Oti has choreographed it correctly it could be an iconic dance that swings votes his way.

I always approach the showdances with a mixture of horror and fascination. Some of them are better than some of the others but I always end up a little bit disappointed. Maybe I should lower my expectations

BIB It pains me to say so because I found him utterly annoying, but the only truly memorable showdance for me was Tom Chambers. Camilla was really, really clever and completely played to his strengths. No faff, just pure dancing and you could see on his face he was delighted to be doing that.

I don't even remember some of my other favourite contestants's showdances, tbh. I remember Rachel Stevens doing a dire job and Chelsee doing a trembling Beyonce on a plinth.

I'm hoping for some rain AND for someone to actually set fire to it! I've written out a mood board for the dance which includes that along with Mr Darcy's wet shirt, a hotly contested game of Monopoly and I've drawn a cup of tea as a sort of nod to Adele!
I don't usually like the showdances so not really looking forward to them as such. Usually they're something to be got through with the help of wine!!

No but seriously ... I am hoping for some rainy effects and general dampness!

Will we get to see all 3 or is someone being sent home after the first 2 dances?

I'm not looking forward to any of them! Ore's will be twee to sick bucket levels. I don't trust Kevin not to give Louise Bacofoil 2 but Louise could never match Lisa's Bacofoil commitment so it would be Bacofoil without the funny. I don't like Danny's song. More than that: I loathe Danny's song.

But you know. It's Strictly. One of them might actually be good. And we can pretty much guarantee that at least one of them will manage the horseshoe effect of being so bad it's good.

Thank you. That's great as I always felt cheated when we missed one in previous years.
