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.

Anyone know how many time voting will be open?

Ooh, forgot it was the final tonight! I’m in it somewhere… 😉

I think previously they've done voting after each set of dances, so I'd guess three times.

Channel 5 is currently running Strictly's Greatest Moments - just in case anyone wants an appetiser to the main event!

I’m watching that too!

Not long to go! Hope some good dances tonight ! Hamza or Helen for me ! Agree with other posters Janette is a v wooden presenter

Anyone interested who hasn't read Len in the Daily Mail really should, echoes comments here

Thanks - set it to record on +1.

I think it has generally been a lacklustre series as evidenced by the fact that only one 40 has been scored and Craig has only got his ten paddle out once. It’s strange as there were some unusually high scores in the first few shows IIRC yet no one has really progressed to being an absolute standout. I tip Hamza to win.

Yeah it's not been the best series 😕 I saw past dancers on ITT and had forgotten some of them were in it !

Weakest link Strictly special on now - Kai and Karen are on..

I’ve watched for years and think this year has been poor not sure why but it’s been a bit lacklustre

It's because no one has improved but mostly stayed the same? And a flood of new pros. Next year should be better.

I do think Helen has improved since the beginning..

Maybe it's the lack of Oti and Alijaz? Gio went out early too. I missed him.

Not any more… 😂

Jesus Christ this lot should stick to dancing 🤣

I think that's a lot to do with it. I'd say Helen and Fleur are the greatest improvers, but Hamza while consistent has produced many delights.

There's been a cluster that came in strong with not much between them and little drastic improvement.

The only significant dance off upset amid the Molly/Fleur monopoly was Ellie S going prematurely.

The new pros have done well though.

Too little Kai and Giovanni though!

Just read Florence and the machine are on tonight!

Watching The Weakest Link right now and it is fun

Evening all!
Tearing myself away from Harry and Meg shenanigans to get my final Strictly on til Xmas special. Team Hamza here. I note that papers are giving Hells a last push with the scorned wife J word, whilst tearing down Hamz for being in an amateur dance club at uni. Could be anyone's. Exciting.

I watched this - you'd think they'd be able to source some decent footage!! Some of it looks like it's been recorded off of someone's tv while they're playing it off of a VCR! Even some of the more event years was really jumpy!
