I missed it !!! I thought it was on at 7.25

Oh Baz  It will be uploaded tonight

I am so glad Chelsee and Pasha made the final, well deserved. I did a few votes for them!

Well done to Jason and Harry too. Lovely and dignified exit speeches from Alex/James and Holly/Artem, although I am going to miss Holly a lot.

I really don't know why but .............................i can't take to Chelsey!

Thats because shes very annoying and has a cartoon face.

Strictly Final  Saturday 

7.00pm - 8.05pm 

Results show

9.00pm - 10.05pm 

I'm going out .......i'll record it and look forward to watching it in my tiddly state! Shall miss being able to discuss it on here though 

Dances confirmed:

Chelsee- Rumba, Showdance, Jive, Quickstep.

Harry- American Smooth, Showdance, Argentine Tango, Quickstep.

Jason- Salsa, Showdance, Tango, Quickstep.

Whoever finishes third won't do the last two dances on that list. The Judges chose one dance which is their favourite from the couples and the other dance was chosen from the 3 couples.

And doesn't 'look' like a dancer, is not in the 'right' social class, isn't a 'lovey' etc. etc. BUT she is bloody good imcho

All 3 Strictly celeb finalists were on the Chris Moyles show today, funny interview and it is sweet how Chelsee and Harry are now good friends.

From 2:15 in..

Ola and James Jordan have been kicked off the SCD tour.

I'm not surprised, their antics are rather predictable now. I can see them maybe both leaving, especially if Ola might want children at some point?

Katya is now dancing with Robbie on the tour, they have decided Natalie is not going to do it now.

Thanks Darlo

Not surprised ,it's been reported and denied that Natalie and Robbie were "close".

What antics do you mean from Ola?  

Watch the press conference,final details revealed.( Jason is a bore)

Did anybody see Arlene on Daybreak this morning?    She was asked if she thought Alesha was unprofessional stating publicly that Jason should go now and it was obviously between Chelsee and Harry - her face was a picture!   She looked like someone shoved a pile of poo under her nose and said something like 'pffft... I don't want to comment on anything Alesha says.. but yes, that was wrong'   (I agree btw)     She's backing Jason btw - says he's technically very good and thinks he's suffered because he works hard - but she also said choreographed him in Priscilla and his timing was awful and he has no dance background at all - she's impressed by him.

I'd love to see her back and that mouthy waste of space out, or, as loads of others are saying - get Karen on the judging panel.

There is truth in what Alesha might be saying because Jason has been in the bottom 2 once and nearly most people think it will be between the other 2. I know the Judges are meant to be unbiased but they have been bias to certain contestants before and in some instances this is not hidden.

Personally I think Alesha has been good this year and all the judges have had their good/bad moments.

Maybe Karen does not want to do the judging role, after all she is a busy woman with her family, other commitments and no chance Arlene would want to return now (THANK GOD).

If BBC start dismantling with the format now because this series has been very successful and beating XF in the ratings then all that hard work will be undone...

Sad that it is nearly over for another year. Chelsee and Harry cried when they were shown messages from their loved ones on an hour long ITT (from 6:00 PM)!

Great to see all the eliminated celebs and pros back.

Have to disagree with you about Alesha, darlo - I think a lot of people think her marks are a joke. She gives 10 to people after admitting they have flaws in their routine!      I don't rate her at all.. and I don't believe I'm in the minority - the show's a succes in spite of her, not because of her... and a judge with more credibility could only help.

I DO agree though that it's sad it's nearly over

PS... Karen does the red button commentary, so I doubt she'd be any busier if she was on the panel...

I must admit to being unimpressed with a few 10's she has given out but the BBC are not just going to get rid of Alesha just because some people don't like her as a judge because some people will like her as a judge to counter that and a few of the celebs from this year (apart from Nancy) have said nice things about Alesha as a judge, so does that mean they are wrong too?

The BBC clearly see Strictly as an entertainment based programme more than a dancing show  and I am not saying that the shows success is IN spite of Alesha because it is not at all, but the format of the show this year has obviously hooked viewers in and if any drastic changes next series were made it might unimpress some people as it has been 4 years since they beat X-Factor in the ratings by a big margin...

I do genuinely think only certain small quarters of the show are from a dancing background and the BBC in their mind have to cater for the majority of course..

Sorry for the long post.

Karen runs her own dancing school and originally quit SCD to spend more time with her family and focus on her other commitments. You can tell she enjoys her ITT role a lot though.

The BBC might have asked her if she wanted to join the panel and turned them down, maybe they did not and she might jump at the chance if offered?

Either way it is just a flaming TV show, more important things in the world to worry about.

(Irony of my last post).

He might be a bore but he's a bloody good dancer...he got a perfect score unlike Harry.

OMG, did Alesha really say that about Jason?

I have often thought that she under-marks Jason while bizarrely over-marking the awful Chelsee.

  Indeed darlo.. I don't lose any sleep over Alesha, but I do unleash a growl every now and then when she's rabbitting nonsense as she does.     I actually think some of the credit for the ratings this year have to go to X Factor for being spectacularly bad this year.  Anyhoo.. who are you backing to win?  Chelsee?    She's an ace dancer, but I think the 'cute buns' will probably do it for Harry.   I feel sorry for Jason - I like him.

Well.. you know my opinion on Alesha, but you know as well as I do that Chelsee's dancing isn't awful.   You're completely entitled to think she's awful as a person though... just like I am about Lulu

Chelsee awful? The girl has natural rhythm and musicality plus the work ethic. Having read an article this week about where she gets it from I am impressed.

I think you dislike Chelsee that much that you refuse to admit she is good, although I disliked some certain celebrities like Kelly Brook, Gethin Jones and Austin for example but admitted they were talented on the dancefloor.

Chelsee from the start. Harry will probably win but there has been a few surprises on RTV this year and Dougie's vote figures in IACGMOOH were interesting as he was close to being in the bottom 2 one night and only had a 5% swing in the final 2 vote, plus wasn't even top of the vote in some cases..

They are all deserved winners really but I am expecting Harry to win and i'll have no complaints but am voting for Chelsee tomorrow.

And me , Chelsee has been outstanding .

'I think it will be between Chelsee and Harry. Chelsee is a brilliant dancer but I think the ladies have a soft spot for Harry'

Just watched Graham Norton and that is the exact quote Alesha said, she looked stunning btw.

Len said on BBC Radio that he thinks Jason might make the final 2 so why hasn't anything been said about that?

I dont mean Awful Chelsee in regards to her dancing, she is a fantastic dancer, all tho slightly over-marked at times, but I mean shes awful in regards to how she conducts herself, she does my head in.

She behaves like a little annoying girl trying to be a lady, but failing badly.

Chelsee's dancing isn't awful, just her personality and face.

Mr, Vids, what double standards my man!

In what way?

I'm with Vids here Soops. I've never seen him say anything to suggest Chelsea's DANCING was awful.

Fair enough but all the contestants have been overmarked at some point, or does it just apply to Chelsee because she annoys you that much?

I see nothing wrong in the way Chelsee conducts herself because she is bubbly and ditzy, although I can see how the way she comes across would annoy some and she has always thanked everyone for voting every week.

They did the ladette to lady storyline with Alesha i've seen it before VS!

Isn't it you that always says something along the lines of we should like/support people for their talent not personality?

PS I wasn't trying to cause bother/a row
