Previous thread here

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.

😂DH has already referred to the 'monumental f up that was Jackson's show dance' several times this evening!

Show quote history

I recall that, even at the time it was jaw droppingly appalling.

Who was it who did a really awful showdance a few years back when there was the trend for contempo waft mixed with throwing small women about? Was it Louis Smith?

🤣yes. And anyone with big muscles like Kenny Logan and Steve backshall

Great chest on Vito

Vito looks like his soaking

He does!!

MajesticWhine · 17/12/2022 20:20

Yeah I remember Colin Jackson totally screwing up the final

I loved Tom Chambers' showdance. I just wasn't expecting it, and it was so good.

@FuzzyPuffling The stuff of nightmares!

Underwhelmed with this years final! Past years have been brilliant it’s just not zingy enough ..:bit flat

Best show dance so far. Especially Vito but there was gapping

Yes there was a lot of that, but does that go against them in SD?

MoirasSaggyBundles · 17/12/2022 20:21

Fleur is heavy in the lower body. I am the same, very muscular below waist and strong legged. Great for many purposes, but not so much for lightness in dancing. That's why Hamza is such an enigma. He's a big man with a lightness of movement combined with sheer strength in those lifts. I don't really care if he's gone a bit wrong tonight. He's brought me such joy all this series.

Rapunzel22 · 17/12/2022 20:21

Too much of the sob story

MajesticWhine · 17/12/2022 20:21

I'm just not blown away by any of the finalists

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 17/12/2022 20:21

This is the moment I wish the telly box screen would freeze.

Think that this hasn't been the best crop of celebs imo. I feel like you need a ringer like DannyMac to zing it up a bit

In fairness, it was because the judges had said they weren't sure Colin could dance without Erin. It was just a spectacularly misguided way to show it.

None of them are very exciting are they? I wish they would stop gushing and crying.

BogRollBOGOF · 17/12/2022 20:21

There's more variety than last year, although double the finalists 😂

ArcaneWireless · 17/12/2022 20:21

Zero feels.

And even if it was all unclonked, I don’t suppose that would change. And that is my bother.

please God Helen has a lovely showdance.

Someone has to.

I’m totally blown away by Vito’s chest at this precise moment. 🤣

PrincessScarlett · 17/12/2022 20:18

Much better show dance from Fleur but still not a patch on show dances of old.

This is all for Helen and Gorka to win now if they can pull off a great show dance.

Show dances of old my immediate mind goes to Caroline Flack and Danny Mac. I do remember loving Kara and Artem's show dance but it was very gymnastic like and I think I was probably more invested in their personal 'chemistry'...which didn't last that long eh...

Still haven't seen a showdance that I've loved as much as his!

Yes exactly this , you've explained it better than my 'clonky'

PrincessScarlett · 17/12/2022 20:22

Come on Helen!!

Crinkle77 · 17/12/2022 20:22

As much as I didn't like Ore his show dance was really good. It was different and unique. These are all very boring.

Whydidimarryhim · 17/12/2022 20:22

It feels like fleur is looking for a sympathy vote to me.
Vote on merit - it was a great dance.
