Kelly is an excellent dancer so I don't see her as the short straw. If it's the top 3 from the current series, it may or may not be Brendan. If it isn't, maybe Anton, will have the pleasure. He did partner the winner of CIN and he could do an American Smooth with Kelly.

Brian's not tall enough, is he?
![]() ![]() From what I've read Kelly has been taking dancing lessons at least some of the time since she left SCD, plus she danced on the Dirty Dancing show and she's just released a SCD fitness video with Flavia, so I'd say it is probably more a case of learning a routine rather than starting to learn a dance from scratch. I think she's got as good a chance as anyone.

If it's true that I've read that it's being filmed on the Mon 15th, that really is so unfair for whatever two will be in the final. Why on earth couldn't they film it after on the Mon 22nd, when everybody is relaxed?
Edit: Sorry, just seen Force Ten's post! I really hope it's the 22nd. |

I only posted it was the 15th because someone said that on another thread. Last year it was filmed on the monday after the quarter finals as Letitia was eliminated on the Saturday and was interviewed by Claudia by film on ITT on the monday as they were filming the xmas special.
Always felt it added fuel to the fire for the semi's myself as Gethin nearly won and Alesha and Matt were not in the final two, but thats over and done with, and we have far too many consiparcy theories this year to deal with. |

It could be on the 22nd this year. The reason it has been done before the final for the last two years is because the final was too close to Christmas to fit a special in afterwards. In 2005 though it was filmed the Monday after the final, and in 2004 it was a live show with a phone vote, I think a few days before Christmas but definitely after the series two final.

![]() Who from the eliminated male pros are tall enough to dance with Kelly? I'm thinking it would have to be Ian? |

Yes, I'm hoping it will be a Samba, pity they can't do Paso really but that wouldn't be very christmassy!
I hope they're not doing a Jive... then everyone will start off one the 'one trick pony' nonsense again |

When will the special be shown -Xmas day? |

Already tried, but there are no tickets available this year. They are reserving them all for those people who had tickets for one of the main shows but ended up not getting in. Plus the usual millions of production guests of course.

Strictly Come Dancing returns for a special festive edition featuring favourite contestants from Christmas past and present. Jill Halfpenny, Kelly Brook and Alesha Dixon are back to battle this year's three finalists for the title of Strictly Christmas Champions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pro...tlycomedancing
Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly return to present the special and, as ever, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Arlene Phillips, Bruno Tonioli and head judge Len Goodman are on hand to give their verdicts on the competing couples. All the music featured in the programme is festive and "The Voice", Russell Watson, makes a special guest appearance. |

Not to add more fuel (just for myself I didn't really like Gethin at all, and not fussed about Matt either), but I thought after seeing Xmas that Flavia and Matt C had both thought they wouldn't bother putting much effort into it at the expense of their semi final routines, and Camilla had taken it more seriously and possibly that was the reason why Gethin was below par the week of the semi. It was very noticeable how much more seriously Camilla took it than all the other pros that took part.
Lillia is getting greedy now with three.

I suspect Lisa won't actually be in the Xmas special...they say top three, but it's never really the case. It ends up being three couples from the top four or five.
For instance, the first Xmas special was supposed to be the top three from each but Chris Parker and Julian Clary didn't do it. They had Martin Offiah who finished fourth (with Erin who also danced with Julian Clary in the second series) and Aled Jones, who also finished fourth. |

For me personally I can't get excited about the Christmas special with no Gethin or Ramps apart from possibly Jill there is no one in it I would particularly want to see dance again! I am including this years last four in that too! My opinion only
