Strictly Final

[TheOstrich]

... oh wow!

Denise and Louis's showdances - superb
Kimberley's waltz - ethereal
Dani - perhaps a little too nervous, unfortunately ....

[Lozzles]

Loving the show, but I find the show dances a bit manic
Looking forward to part 2. I think Dani will be out first. I would like to see Kimberley win

[Diflower]

I loved it
And voted for Louis after the first 2 dances - it's one of very few phone votes I ever do, and hadn't expected to vote for him but he was so impressive

We expected to be routing for Kimberley and she was beautiful especially in the waltz, but Louis was just outstanding tonight so we're delighted he won.

Well done Louis

I couldn't watch the dancing live as I was singing in a concert tonight. The concert went very well but my mind was on the dancing. We were off like a shot when it had finished and by ten o'clock we were sitting down with a coffee, a brandy and some liquer chocolates ready to start viewing. We finished viewing at 12.30. I wouldn't have missed that for the world. I knew who was going to win in the final dance. What a worthy winner and what a wonderful wonderful show.

I wanted Kimberly to win, as much for Pasha as I think he is a fantastic pro, but I was happy for Flavia and Louis and his salsa was amazing. Kicking myself as 14 weeks ago the minute I saw him and Flavia together I said he would win, I wish I had looked into putting money on it. A few pennies would have been nice.

Not sure who Vincent's show dance was supposed to be showcasing, but it certainly wasn't Dani. Prior to tonight I thought Denise would go out first, but she deserved her place in the final three.

Is there usually three in the final, for some reason I thought there were two in previous years?

[Fugitive]

Haven't seen Part 2 yet but after watching Part 1 I had a feeling Louis was a winner. I have never felt comfortable watching Dani. She gets all the steps right in all the right places but never once did I get excited watching her.

Denise was wonderful and Kimberly pure joy so well done to Louis. It's been great television from the very start.

[miasmum]

Actually I find it interesting that only a few weeks ago people were commenting on the fact it was a poor year for celebs and that they couldn't see many of them ever being good enough to win. Yet we ended up with 3 couples and the closest final I can remember

[TheOstrich]

In a way, we were slightly disappointed that Louis won the popular vote on the night, as we remained convinced Denise was the best celebrity dancer - as the judges also demonstrated by their voting; she was top of their leader board.

But we were pleased for Flavia, who was consistently brilliant throughout the weeks.

Louis' show dance was just something else. Len said there wouldn't ever be another one like it. It made Denise and James' show dance look frantic and hectic. I think Louis was a worthy winner.
