I don't watch it. The missus does though. She thought Kelly would win it. After watching it tonight for the first time I thought that Jay did bloody well and is a worthy winner on tonight's showing.

The Jive, that's how - still the best dance of the series. He was probably the weakest of the 3 tonight mind.

Because the final is not a dancing contest but a popularty one. If the voters like you, you could probably stand still and still win. Though Jay was the weaker of the final 3 on tonights dances

Bloke from boy band has lots of girlie fans who would vote for him even if he danced like Solly March could today.

Can't knock his partner though... Simply stunning 
he's easily the best dancer... Worthy winner, nice bloke too.

A Saturday night TV program where the public can vote but is fixed by the production company, surely not

I think judging on the series as a whole Jay is a worthy winner. It is ridiculous to say the show is fixed. Exactly the same thing happened a few years ago with Denise van Outen when she produced a wonderful three dances in the final but didn't have enough in the bank going into it.

Well I re-iterate my point. What the fuc* point is there in turning up tonight then?
The two women split the votes for people who don't just vote for the man. I am obviously not a pro dancer but surely it is harder for male celebs as they have to lead. That chap was a darn good dancer, as were the women, so to say you could just line up 15 people and have popularity contest is bizarre IMHO

I agree he was a good dancer , but tonight Kellie Bright got 40, 40 and 39. I mean, what more has she got to f*******g do?

Because most people have already decided who they like the best. Sometimes the final changes that, sometimes it doesn't.

So - let's dispense with the final, because to all intents and purposes it's a done deal.
Well, whatever. I see no point in watching this load of f***** bollox any more.

Silly old bat
The judges scores are just a guideline tonight. Jay has consistently been a good dancer all through the series. He has improved his characterisation, & in confidence.
I don't think the public liked Kelly because she thought she had already won it. I think her arrogance lost it for her. As has been pointed out, male celebrities find it harder as they have to lead. Someone complained to me that Aliona did all the work, but that is the role of the female dancer.

Yes - but what about the person who comes through as the person most improved? I don't think Kellie has been
arrogant at all. Whatever anyone says - that was fixed.
There's something very deeply seedy, sinister and very worrying going on the BBC.

Chill out. The dancing was superb, the series was a joy. Jay was never in the dance off and his jive was exceptional. I liked Kellie, we don't know how close the voting was but the judges showed if it was down to them she'd have won.

It doesn't matter, but there is no way it is fixed. The bbc has strong controls to stop it.
