There is a gulf of difference in the dancing capabilities of them and that of Diversity, Flawless and Aidan. While I loved them and though they were good, I think it would have been outrageous had they won, not saying they didn't put in any less effort than the rest but their routine was littered with bad timing, and flawed moves. They were the 4th best dance act in the competition, stop saying 'they were robbed', they weren't.

It's about how an act makes you feel, that is the bit that makes or breaks whether we give someone our backing, or attack them at will.

I saw something very special in these two, it wasn't just their ability to make me laugh that endeared them to me, it was the way their relationship shone through like a glorious beacon. Most people profess to love their kin, but they really made me FEEL it.

Their performances were not world class dance performances, but they were never meant to be. They were hilarious, a lot of fun and decent family entertainment. That is why they got my vote, they made me feel wonderful, they reminded me of the special bond between Father and Child, and sometimes, in the thick of crap times, that kind of feeling is priceless. So Thank You Stavros Flatley for warming my heart and making me laugh. Perfect.

Well said! I agree completely. I wanted them to win because of the way they made my heart swell with joy. Diversity are completely deserved of their victory, but for me Stavros were my winners.

i would have been happy to see either Stavros or Diversity win. Stavros made me laugh ...it was a real feel good factor. all this talk about longevity etc. is irrelevant - the whole point of the show is about appearing in front of the Queen at the Royal variety Performance. i'm fairly ceryain Philip the Greek would have loved them and although it doesn't happen often .......i'm fairly sure it would have bought a smile to her Maj's face.
