SCD 16 Glitter ball on the horizon🕺 💃

Shiny new thread.

Just caught up on ITT last night, and watching all of them see their messages from their friends & family actually made me cry as well!
So excited for tonight, 14 dances/performances to look forward to!

I shall be watching tonight (on my own, DH is away) so will be relying on you all for witty banter and a party atmosphere (in the style of Russ Abbott). No fun-sponges please!!

This is the first year I've not had an opinion about who I'd like to win!

Maybe Faye? It really rests on tonight's performance for me
Possibly even the showdance (such a bad decider )

Lol at "St Stacey of Luton"

ps I wouldn't mind a new presenter on ITT. Though I don't have much faith in the BBC's appointments (cough Tess). Someone a bit tongue in cheek please!
I'm thinking someone fairly bland and relentlessly enthusiastic. That Radzi chap from Blue Peter?

As long as ITT gets rid of highly annoying "DEMO TIME", Basil Brush can present it for me.

Was I dreaming or was Basil Brush on ITT a few weeks ago? Yes he was I remember now , he was good, he told the truth!.

Basil Brush to win tonight !!! [fgin]

Duh well I had to taste the mulled wine after lunch didn't I?

ps I wouldn't mind a new presenter on ITT. Though I don't have much faith in the BBC's appointments (cough Tess).

My money's on Gethin: he's part of the 'family' they like to push so hard, and he's presented bits of ITT already.

Please, please, please, please, please not Alison Hammond. She's too much 'I'M MAD, ME!!!!!' already, on ITT she'd be migraine inducing.

@FuzzyCustard - I agree, hopefully this thread will be fun and full of positive vibes tonight!

Hello Team!

Hoping to be on hand tonight throughout

It is live results isn't it?

Scarred by yesterday's news that ardent Joe fans in the UK are getting his US fans to vote for him swerving the rules by using proxy servers

BBC comment was "we will not allow clearly inflated voting to stand"

So they've got a good estimate of his regular vote

My closing comment on my first post of Final
Day is the same as my first MN post about Strictly.

ANYONE BUT JOE

I like Gethin. I'd be happy for him to replace Zoe if she decides to quit. She'll talk about it a lot on her show I would imagine, and maybe appear on an ep of ITT as a sleb guest.

I don't mind who wins later. I'm genuinely neutral and will vote for the dance that grabs me the most for whatever reason. They're all nice people, they have all improved, so I have no opinion yet.

Ooh Gethin. I missed his series. He doesn't seem to get a lot of love on here. I thought his roving reporter bits were okay but admittedly I haven't watched very many of them

I haven't watched much of ITT at all, but from what I've seen of Gethin he's a bit laddish and tries a bit too hard. I liked him when he was a contestant though. I just want Zoe to stay really.

So excited! Really don’t think I mind who wins but don’t want it to be Joe unless his dancing merits it!

My money's on Gethin

Nooooooo!

Not Gethin!

He's creeeeeeeeeeeeeepy!

ANYONE BUT JOE

I should have had this put on a tee-shirt (indoor ear only, to prevent misunderstandings )

Steph McGovern for presenter on ITT. Or the main show. Or anything.

I'm rooting for Stacey tonight, but whisper it softly I wouldn't mind if it was Ashley, I feel really sorry for her after the last few weeks. OK with it being Faye as well. Just please not Joe.

Steph McGovern for presenter on ITT. Or the main show. Or anything

Any more ideas on which dances Stacey and Ashley will choose for their favourite to dance tonight?

I love Steph McGovern but don't want her on ITT. I want her to get the BBC Political Editor job and get rid of Sneery Laura Kuenssberg. Now there's a negative woman!

There's a "14 Years of SCD" prog just about to start on Channel 5. No idea of the content.

I'm out at my friend's wedding tonight. I'll have to go media silence on my phone till we get home and watch it.

Hope Zoe stays
I think that she is brilliant in ITT and no change is required

Fuzzy - I've just turned over onto this and came online wondering if anyone else was watching.

Seems they almost had to twist arms to get people to participate in the first series - then after that they were fighting them off with a stick!
