One thing you'd change for Strictly 2009: Get rid of the judges' marks. This will at least stop some people from moaning that their favourites are being eliminated by the judges.

OK, I have something embarrasingly humiliating to admit. It's my own poll, and I somehow managed to miss off one of my own categories from when I voted. Don't ask how, but I am applying to become SCD producer next year.

The one I missed:

for favourite dance i put rachels AS but i also liked her tango, and Toms showdance. Can i have 3 votes?

Five minutes remaining...

EDIT: Yes, anna, that's fine.

Time's up.

Midnight has come, and therefore the poll is shut. By all means keep voting, but they will NOT be counted towards the final tally. The results will be revealed tomorrow evening, after the Christmas Special on BBC1 has finished (yes, just like BBC1 SCD you have to wait for the results ).

All it remains for me to say, is discuss all you like about the poll on the thread, and hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Catch you all tomorrow after the Christmas Special...

Merry Christmas, Fudd again .

I'm looking forward to the result .

Merry Christmas, Strictly Autumn again.

I'm just getting everything together for it. Don't want to spend the whole of Christmas Day sorting it out.
