<Breathes a sigh of relief> Thanks darlo.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy Matt made it.... and Gavin is out... Pity Scott couldn't have taken Pamela's place though

Gutted Scott is out and Gavin was as expected, Pamela out first next week pretty please with a cherry on top.

Thanks darlo
I agree with your every word Baz 

I second that Darlo.....

I third it!

I predict all 3 will get a full score, we'll get told it's the best final ever (that's up to debate) and judges will go OTT than before.

LOL probably Darlo

I am so relieved Brisket..... I reckon it was Yogi and my votes that swung it And I hope the GBP sock it to the judges and like darlo says, throw Pamela out first....

Pamela to conduct an IQ test on Matt and Kara?.


Oh well there's only Kara left for me to back now.

I'm very relieved too Baz.   Of course it was you and Yogi who did it.     No doubt about it!
Knowing this has lifted my spirits.
I agree with you about Pamela too.
Try as hard as I might I cannot see how the judges can hold her in quite such high esteem.
Anyway, I'm delighted that Matt is in the final.
I think it's been a pretty good year.
I would love to have seen Felicity and Jimi for longer (I think Jimi would have progressed very nicely.)
But as it is I have to say that Matt is the one whose dancing I have enjoyed most and found the most entertaining.

Hurrah...Matt and Kara through.....I can sleep easy now!!!

Don't worry darlo - you will certainly get a good run for your money.

I would like to have seen Jimmi go further too Brisket, cos I really liked him and reckon he *coulda been a conteda* I would like to have seen Scott, Matt and kara in the final, but they way the judges marked up Pamela it was never going to happen, so.......

I agree about Pamela, Brisket. Whilst she is very good, I do think she has been over marked and all that...maybe it's a ploy to get James to win as Ola won last year!!!!!


Cheering Matt and Kara all the way now!

 I'm pleased with the final 3 - I really liked Scott but I think he peaked too early, and i think Pamela has really demonstrated total commitment to giving it her all.  Looking forward to next week .... and kara winning 

I think Scott seemed to lose interest and of course he's busy with the new heartbreaking storyline regarding Ronnie and Kat in Eastenders.


Barbara Windsor has already said she might take part next year.

As long as Anton doesn't get Babs, I don't care!! Anton deserves a good partner next year!

^ Indeed, enough is enough even though he's amusing and does the best of what he can with the not so good celeb dancers, plus Kristina too because she's had John, Joe and Goldie all who left early.

I  think Pamela should go out first  and I hope Kara wins

Agree Darlo....they both should get good ones next year....Vincent and Natalie could have the crappies as they have both been very lucky so far!!!

I don't mean to cheese anybody off, but Pamela is a million miles better than Scott. He has done a few very good dances, but her's have all been good. Sorry peeps.

Yes she has been good throughout, but overmarked sometimes, I think! Scott lost his mojo after a bad week and has never quite got back to how he was. I'm not gutted Pamela is in the final at all, I just don't want her to win.

Scott does not compare to Pamela when it comes to commitment. I know he's working hard in the moment, but he knew that was coming up, so, I'm afraid, I can't take that as an excuse. He does not have the same stamina as the others and I think the verdict of him and Gavin being out is the right one.
Kara or Pamela to win.

I agree he lacked the stamina...maybe he underestimated how tough it would be! Pamela and Kara are fortunate that they don't seem to have much else on at the moment....Matt and Scott are both doing loads more!! Matt has suffered through over stretching himself too...let's hope the free week he has will mean he can do himself and Aliona justice.

Now Gavin is out i want Kara too win, i pray Pamela doesn't win

Result ,cheers Darlo.
Cher is out of the Xfactor also ,what a night

Absolutely. It's very hard now to get fixated on one couple. All three of them are very good.

Well ...............I'd far rather see Scott in the final than Pamela but the judges obviously like her and I guess there must be some sort of public support. Don't like her personality and don't really rate her dancing. Hope she's first out tomorrow.

TBH ..............she's spoilt Strictly for me this year ..............haven't particularly enjoyed any of her dances and have been seriously peeeeeeed off with the judges over marking and fawning towards her.

I know that's not a popular opinion on here and I'm not gonna enter into discussion to defend my opinion - just felt the need to post what I'm feeling (in my semi drunken state).

.....haven't particularly enjoyed any of her dances and have been seriously peeeeeeed off with the judges over marking and fawning towards her.

I agree Soozy.....

i agree too soozy and what shoes was she wearing during the swingathon

I agree too Soozy

I don't agree. She's energetic, very precise and very rarely wrong. This is just sour grapes because she's 61 and can move better than all of us oldies put together and, yes, I include you soozy you moaning minnie. Get a grip and go for some salsa classes.

Whats her age got too do with it?

Oooooooooooooh Cologne you really don't know me ...............I have done Salsa classes and up until two months ago was attending a (multi) dance class on a weekly basis. Nothing to do with age - it's smugness I don't like.

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!! They were hideous weren't they? What was she thinking?

well said Soozy, no need too get personal there Cologne

It was Baz, it was all down to us.
I am so relieved Matt is through - and very, very happy.

Soozy, that's brilliant. I wasn't actually serious, just teasing. I know you don't like her.
...and I agree about the shoes.
