I don't have to do the no spoiler warning, because it's the Final and it's ALL LIVE!

Quick reminder for no YouTube videos please, they embed and slow the thread down horribly for some people. I'll add a link to the multimedia thread in a minute.

also love seeing the pros parents,
what an occasion

I think the female dancing the samba is very different to the male - so it COULD be the best samba from the female perspective - not sure the two are directly comparable

They really want Fleur to win.

another high scoring dance, not much room for improvement?

We can't get a ballroom 40 now can we?

Danny’s and Mark’s sambas were better.

They really were.

oh the jive, i was wrong, i liked the jive

Has Shirley come as Scarlett O'Hara? Still looking great though - colour suits her!

I agree, it's so lovely to see the pro's parents.

But what's with the SARMBA? 🤔🤣

She's needed it. She's not had a simple ride. And she has learned a lot along the way.

It looks that way.

I can’t see it though. No matter how much they push it.

Motsi looks lovely again.

I didn't get that praise for Fleur at all - she tries too hard IMO. Was the same on X Factor.

I really want to know how they make the women's hair so long without it looking like a wig? It's like magic!

Hamza's dance was a 39 so stayed same (week 4 dance).
Molly had a week 2 dance at 34 and took it up to 39
Fleur week 8 and 39 which she's taken up to 40 (good for her!)
Helen is on a week 7 dance which she got 37 for the first time.

A bit of a mish mash, not sure why they picked such an early dance for Molly but I think that makes what she just did even better really as it's futher back in her muscle memory!

Anyway....COME ON HELEN!

Yes Shirley looks fab.

She looks lovely more natural.

I love Helen. This looks like it's come a long way in the small detail

This feels very tentative from Helen.

Yes as if she is tired or something?

Helen looks like she would rather be watching strictly than dancing in the final!

I still get the feeling Helen is just doing the steps with a fixed grin on her face.

Helens jive was sharper than last time.. I think

It was good but she’s no Jill Halfpenny

Perhaps they should make them all do their week 1 dance again.
