SCD '21 #19: We have our FINAL! Judges, your paddles are for guidance only.

Just as well, as they seem to have lost all of the ones under 9...

Previous thread

Haha! Love Craig and his 9! It just means more when he actually gives a 10. If it wasn't for him we'd have 40s constantly

Generally speaking I agree.

Partly as I'm a fairly tough armchair critic having been an amateur dancer in my youth (not ballroom, mainly ballet but also tap and disco/modern)

I tend to notice the smaller mistakes other viewers might not.

10 should be for "perfect" which few dances are.

I can't take it when Gio cries.

I'm crying again

Crying now ❤️

I'm going to vote after each dance, just in case they surprise me.

Does anyone else think Tess looks like a dynasty villain??

@wintersdreams

I think this is the first final where I’ll be happy if either couple win

Me too. Love them both. AJ was a good dancer but just diddo it for me so not missing her. Sorry and AJ fans.

Claudia's slipped shoulder is annoying me
Me too - it just looks wrong.

Well this song is being murdered once again

Have used all my votes for Rose and Giovanni.

i might cry again

Wow, Gio is so emotional.

They never seem to do week 1 dances or 2.
My fave was week 1 and 2 for John.

Oh no, i didnt like this dance at all first time around, why why why do this one again?

@Olliesocks

Have used all my votes for Rose and Giovanni.

Me too!

That's me gone!

Oh rose you break the hardest hearts!

Her being on is also making me want to brush up on my BSL which I've sadly let lapse

Omg I've never seen that before I thought people were overstating how moving it was

I'm not crying you're crying 😭

I've given 6 votes to Rose and Giovanni

Still mawkish.

Still so beautiful. It perfectly shows how ethereal she is.

It was great, but we knew that because we saw it the first time around.

Wow! I that's the best barefooted powerwaft I've seen on strictly. I loved that I normally hate that sort of CC

Rose's giggle at the end

@CounsellorTroi

The more I think about it the more I think it would have been a good idea not to have a dance off in the semi final but to have the lowest scoring dancer as a reserve finalist. Even without AJ’s injury someone might have tested positive and had to drop out anyway.

That's a good idea, actually.
