I think they are filming the xmas special today, does anyone know if we will get a spoiler ??

I hope so.

I'm going for eiother a Tom or Jill or Alesha win myself.

That would be nice as I am going away for Christmas and NEED to know!

Yes, her name is Kelly. Spoils it for me anyway

On a serious note I think someone is there because I vaguely remember a thread yesterday. (It was hard to keep track).

It was reported yesterday that there is a "mole" there this evening and that either she will be putting the result on a spoiler thread herself, or will be texting the result to other forum members, who may do it on her behalf!

well hopefully someone will find out and post for us. I am hoping for Jill too, but I wouldnt rule out Rachel getting it actually but as the audience usually go for something quite bubbly it might be one of the 'faster' dances that get it. I know Kelly is doing the Jive just off to check on the others.

Yes, we should be getting a spoiler from AlisonRose

I don't know what time though, no idea when it's being filmed! Is this going to be the spoiler thread?

I dont mind it can be.........I could change the title to spoiler



This is what they are dancing


#Jill Halfpenny & Darren Bennett - American Smooth to 'Favourite things' by Barry Manilow
# Kelly Brook & Brian Fortuna - Jive to 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree'
# Alesha Dixon & Matthew Cutler - Viennese Waltz to 'White Christmas' by Otis Reading
# Tom Chambers & Camilla Dallerup - Foxtrot to 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' by Lena Horne
# Lisa Snowdon & Brendan Cole - Quickstep to 'Sleigh Ride' by The Ronettes
# Rachel Stevens & Vincent Simone - Rumba to '2 Become 1' by The Spice Girls

Title changed so this can be the spoiler thread for when we get one.

I would LOVE Tom or Alesha to win but realistically i think one of the non SCD winners will win as a consolation prize.
SO i predict either Kelly, Lisa or Rachel. Probably Kelly as shes doing the only upbeat latin number so that should get the studio audience on there feet
Regardless of who wins though i think all 6 will be fantastic.

Great stuff

I think these three women will get the Rachel Hunter treatment

If it's anybody other Jill or Alesha I would be VERY surprised. I do think there's a very high chance of yet more needless 40/40s. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if everyone other than Kelly didn't get one.

Whenever the special has been filmed after the main series, the series winner gets the trophy- Tom to win

Following the start of the tour, the xmas winner that year was lined up to take part in the tour- Jill, Tom or Rachel to win
The winner that year was also someone who hadn't been in the current series- a reminder to people of who he was? Jill to win

Of the Xmas winning dances, there have been
Quickstep: 2
AS: 1
Jive: 1
Lisa , Jill or Kelly

Three of four winning dances have been ballroom: Jill, Alesha, Tom or Lisa

Three of the four winners had already won a trophy before: Alesha, Jill or Tom

When Darren returned with two trophies under his belt, he won the vote to get his third: Jill

Three of the four winners were male: Tom

My prediction- Alesha to win, with Jill and Tom both doing well.

if Lisa's previous QS's are anything to go by - she could be in with a chance of winning especially as there is no public vote involved

Who won last year? I can't for the life of me remember anything, apart from Letitia doing quite well!

The studio audience vote though, and if there are any of the general public there, she may still not be popular! If the audience are mainly BBC employees and celebrities, then anyone could win really. Darren Gough won last year!

VW must be spetacular to wow the audience for a win.

I think the music is important. Likely Lisa get perfect score for her QS, Rachel will be 39 more more. But in terms of popularity, I think Alesha may just win it this time. Jill will come in a close second, I reckon.

I love the film, but Jill's music is still nauseating, I'd never vote for it!

I think Tom may do very well, if Camilla choreographs another comedy routine for him it will remind people of their showdance and that might well swing another vote for him.

yep Jill has the worst music i think.
However AS does have potential to really wow the studio audience because of the lifts whereas i dont think a VW will (which is why i dont think Alesha will win). A waltz or Vw has never won before despite gethin doing a beautiful one last year.

I stil think kelly will win though she wouldnt if it was the public vote but the studio audience would vote for her possibly.

Is Jills music the one I am thinking of, the one from The Sound Of Music?

Yes, and to make it worse it has been Manilow-ed, and then fed through the Strictly Come Dancing band

Presumably Alesha and Matt could add lifts to their dance if they wanted, a lot of the xmas dances have had lifts.

I am partial to a bit of Barry not the best tune for an AS though, not very Christmassy.

Not impressed with Kelly dancing to Jill's track either!

Cant really imagine lifts in there VW.

actually looking at the list all the couples are doing dances that could really end up suiting them. So any of them could win and it wouldnt be a shock.
I wonder if the judges will go all out and give them all 40!

I think they will all get between 36 and 40, like last year and the year before

Believe it or not some people have had less than thirty in xmas specials- doesn't happen now though!
