Spoiler thread.

I'm looking forward to the show. My finals strategy is to vote for whoever impresses me most over the three dances on the night no matter who I have been voting for over the previous week. I fancy a glass of wine but I don't want to peak too early!

My strategy too! I don't really have a favourite at the moment.

That sounds nice bluffing.
I've just come back from Tesco.
I had their pigs under blankets toastie in the cafe, which was tricky to eat.
It was a thick slice of cheese on toast then bacon under that then sausage under that on top of another slice of toast with cranberry jam on.
I ended up eating it with a knife and fork.
I've got crisps, peach ice tea (3 for £3), walnut cake, jam donuts just like Bob Marley likes them, and as per MN rule some "naice ham"
I am voting tonight on showdance alone I think. All to play for!
Thanks to all of you again across the threads. You all put up with my geekery with good grace but on top of that, these threads always make me feel warm and cosy and a little less alone, so hugs to all Xxxx

And everyone... 🧡

Evening all 👋🏻

I have friends over to watch the final, so will probably have to catch up with you all later.

Thanks always for a great year of threads!

Evening all. Got bubbly with left over nibbles and food as we had friends over last night. Rooting for Layton and Nikita though being realistic Ellie will win.

I am ready. Glass of fizz in my hand. Let's go!

Nice cup of tea and low expectations here

Ellie to win 🪩

Also have fizz!! Evening everybody!!!

Ncuti is damned fine. My students said "He's only 16!" so I had to google very fast. He is 31. Still too young for me but not perv territory!
Here we go!

Evening all!

Ncuti would be the new Dr Who!

Evening all. Lump of Wensleydale as my nibble of choice here.

I'm so happy to see Any dancing.

Lovely, lovely Amy, glad she's well enough to dance x

J word bingo there!
We're all contempowafting to Applause, then.

Aw lovely to see Amy

Amy is dancing! Go Amy!

Oh wow Amy 🩷

I’m being really dull tonight, can you explain what the ringer means and why they do it? Do they want that person to win or just good to watch? Tried googling and I still don’t understand 🤣

So great to see Amy dancing.

Can't say I like this choreography though.

Ours is an Ellie household.

Aw Amy. Love love love.

Amy! Am on tears already

Amy 🥰🥰🥰
