[Misc] Strictly Final

[NS Herald]

One of the best family shows on tv ......

Didn't really matter who won but I think this year the Great British Public were also swayed by the fact Kevin had always been the Bridesmaid and never the Bride and this year not only was Stacey popular but so was our Kev

Slightly at a tangent, I remember Robin Cousens talking about his ice skating, and his cousin, who was a professional rugby player. The ice dancer's training routine was far more brutal.

I believe Cousins lives in or around Ferring these days. Seen him on the seafront with his very cute French Bulldog

Yep, definitely not one of us

Lives here though.

Lives here though.

Thank you, 2 others have previously pointed that out.

Interesting, the height Cousins used to generate on his jumps was amazing.

the BBC wanted Stacey to win as they see her as their next big star.

If she's their next big star, God help us!

I’m clearly missing something. Irrespective of backgrounds what is the point of a dancing competition if the best dancer doesn’t win?

It's all about the journey really( as trite a reason that is) as the best dancer rarely wins.

It is a difficult balance as there is a backlash against the " professional entertainers" ...we had this last year with debbie McGhee...who runs a ballet school....ad of course Faye was in STEPS and Ashley in the pussycat dolls...both entertainers, whereas joe was a youtuber and Stacey a reporter.

In the US it doesn't seem to matter as Nicole Schertzinger won it...another pussycat doll.

Ashley was never going to win it even though she wa the best dancer. Faye was close to her, but Stacey was partnered by Kevin who is everyone's favourite.

There is an annual,argument as to if it is an dancing competition or an entertainment competition. But personally anything that gets Zoe ball and Claudia winkelman on our TVs is ok with me.
