SCD 17 Who Will Be Victorious??

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Final thread???

I got the impression that Joe expected to win.

I wonder if Kevin will retire?

Good chance that Kevin will retire otherwise he’s guaranteed to get a duffer next year

That’s why Joanne Clifton left on a high

I bloody hope Kevin retires.

Yay!!! Well done Stacey!

I tried 10 times to vote for Ashley but it was always busy so not sure she had an unfair chance to get votes.

I wanted Stacey to win, she's worked so hard from being a complete Novice.

I wouldn't have minded if Faye had got it, but definitely didn't want Joe or Ashley to win.
Right couple won tonight and there wont be any cries of 'fix' or 'ringer'

Well I didn’t see that coming, Faye was the winner for me. That plait dance thing was so different and spellbinding.

Anyway, I’m glad Joe didn’t win but Stacey just grated on me! And her dances just weren’t very good tonight. Pleased for KFG and so nice to see Karen whizz over to congratulate him!

Another popularity contest this year. Even Kevin and Stacey seemed to believe the hype.

Giovanni and Faye or Ashleigh and Pasha were much more deserving IMO.

Well done Stacey and Kevin! Well deserved I think, although feel sorry for Faye and Giovanni a bit. The judges faces were a picture, trying to look happy!

Poshjock agree with all you say. Hope good things happen for Neil in the future wether it's getting a celebrity next year or whatever.

Kind of wish they would get rid of Shirley, she was so biased towards Joe. Also heard Tess at the end saying he was so cute- get a flaming grip!!

Kevin is joining the cast of Rock of Ages next year, so he'll be touring as Stacee Jaxx from January until July. I guess that frees him up for thr next series, but who knows.

Totally agree with @IRanSoFarAway and the PP who mentioned Shirley's bias.

I'm so happy that Stacey won! I would have been happy for Faye too - she was the best tonight for me. Stacey had all my votes, for her whole time on the show. Even DH was wanting her to win!
I can appreciate Joe's "journey" but for me I'd always wonder if it was his fans that got him the glitter ball.
I'm sure Stacey thought Joe was going to win. The judges faces were hilarious.
Giovanni and Kevin has the biggest hug - it was lovely.

Couldn’t watch all of it as have dgd for the night, was always a bit meh about Faye but I thought the show dance was really lovely & yy Giovanni choreography has been brilliant this series.

I'm not sure whether it's true or not.. but just seen on Twitter that someone's said it seems rather suspect that Stacey was already booked for This Morning on Monday..

What's the implied connection between Strictly and an ITV show?

I think it's just as it seems they've pre-booked Stacey but none of the other contestants, so like they knew that would win? If that makes sense.

Why did Kevin and Karen break up so soon after getting married?

Jesus I'm tried from all the adrenaline tonight!
Joe and Faye's showdance's were my favourite, and Joe's outfit was amazing! Still loved Faye's musical number, & so glad Ashley did the troll dance again (Pasha'a stomach, wow)!
Am happy for Stacey, but was enjoying Kevin being so salty about Craig not liking their showdance. Also them winning seemed to be more about Kevin than Stacey...

Wish I was going to watch them all on tour!!

Thought Faye was best on the night, but happy that Stacey won. Love KFGs reaction.

Well, I enjoyed the final a lot more than I thought I would - feel a bit sorry for the sound engineer who cocked up Michael Buble's number though!

I'm glad Stacey won, she deservess it. From being a total beginner, she blossomed and did fantastically well.

For sheer class, style and technical cleanliness of line, Faye should have won, I liked her a lot, she was fab-u-lous.

For absolute physical prowess and brilliance, Ashley should have won. DD is a professional classically-trained contemporary dancer, and she said of the lifts: "Blimey, even I'd have had trouble doing that"

Joe - as with Stacey, he from complete amateur beginnings he improved hugely and performed really well, but the level of technical difficulty just wasn't there on the night.

Well done Stacey

I think it's just as it seems they've pre-booked Stacey but none of the other contestants, so like they knew that would win? If that makes sense.

It sounds a bit 'tin-foil hat' territory to me: Ashley was unlikely to win, so they had a 1/3 likelihood of whoever they booked being the winner - and in reality more like a 1/2 chance between Joe and Stacey, as they've been the favourites to win for a good while.

I think I see the final as a culmination of the whole series rather than just that week.

I’m really pleased with that result. Stacey earnt that. KFG chose dances the public - rather than judges - would like and it paid off.

Most improved novice. I’m happy.

Thought Karen was lovely too.

Just had to watch the announcement again to see the judges' faces

Priceless

Just had to watch the announcement again to see the judges' faces

Dave's fizzog could have curdled milk! 😂

Pleased for Stacey but Faye was better tonight.

Did anyone see Micky Booby swap his mic half way through?!
