Here we are

Really didn't want Bobby in the final.
Just didn't like many of the dances and feel he was often a favourite of the BBC.
Plus his Dad was annoying.
Plus the big money fee.
Half way through was about right.

We get it, you really don't like Bobby, @Aquarius1234 .

You post negative things about him week after week.

I must admit I was not keen on Bobby and was hoping he would go out last night but I really enjoyed his dances this week and thought he had upped his game a lot.

I still don't like Dianne very much though

Unsurprised to see it was Annabelle she had a dud of a dance and everything was rather weighted against her

I was happy for Annabelle over Bobby until his fighting spirit last night - he was good in both his dances and my favourite last night (I was shocked to say the least). Ellie's CC was godawful, Annabel threw herself literally into her salsa but reminded me of Kirsty Gallagher albeit far better, Layton's were final-quality albeit the Charleston was not to my taste.
Various DO dynamics would have been interesting.

Bobby's QS could have beaten Layton's rumba, as could Ellie's cha cha.

Annabel's VW should have been able to beat or equal Bobby's paso, had it not been undermarked and, to my taste, Ellie's CC had it not been overmarked.

Scores do suggest that Annabel was thrown under the bus and Ellie saved in their second dances. Nothing will convince me that disco number was a 38 and I like Ellie. Had her and Bobby gone head-to-head his QS could have beaten her CCC but the judges would have put her through regardless.

Don’t they perform their highest scoring dance in the DO?

Nope. In the quarter finals it is always whatever they choose in advance.

What's his dad got to do with anything?!

Bobby has been a model student, learning each week, working hard, developing a great relationship with Dianne, and showing emotional intelligence beyond his years. Plus, lovely hands!

Semis, even!

Latest odds according to the bookies:
Ellie 1/5
Layton 12/1
Bobby 20/1

It will be interesting who Annabel's fans switch allegiance to.
Ellie +never been in DO, great all rounder, strong paso and AS
-awful CC, Vito's schtick is wearing thin, showmance not genuine
Layton +great QS and AT, lot of love for Nikita, stand up to trolls
-too much experience, freestyle may polarise
Bobby +might pick up the novice vote, decent samba and tango/VW, peaking
-weakest from the three, Diane shrieky, been in DO twice

I really hope Ellie wins!

I know that some people are voting for Layton. He seems like a nice person, he's an amazing dancer, and he's had a lot of negativity.
