SCD Take 3!!

[Tigerschick]

Hello again!!

Next Saturday???? What am I going to do??

go dancing myself

Come on people, Tom and Camilla's showdance was fantastic! I was backing Lisa but have to give it to T&C, they were brilliant.

T&C's showdance was fab but they should have gone last week.
Rachel and Vincent deserved to win.
What were Brendan doing with the Cirque du Soleil showdance? It was cringeworthy. I had to cover my eyes at the rolling up the body it was so clumsy.

What were the judges doing with the voting? Both the Rumba and the Salsa were better then her cha cha. I didnt pay attention to her foxtrot as I was looking at the set. Delighted she didnt win, never warmed to her, but she should have been in the last two with Rachel and Vincent.

Brendan makes me want to puke!

Rachel schmachel. Yeah, she's very good and all that BUT she was hardly starting from scratch, was she? Had years of jiggling around to routines in S Club.

Clearly a very good dancer but quite boring to watch IMO.

Am happy! But still have strange feelinge towards Brendan despite all his obvious faults...

Salleroo, you are right about Brendan and Lisa's showdance, very clumsy.

I thought that Tom's show dance had a touch of dad dancing to it. Maybe that is part of his appeal? He really isn't a patch on the other male winners.

I think they took last weeks showdance too literally (basically copied it). Surprised she wasnt wrapped in a costume of leaves too.

Delighted we saw it, the other two couples were brilliant in comparison.

I wanted Rachel to win, but preferred Tom's show dance.
STILL think Camilla had the worst dresses EVER.

Oh well, all over now - result as I predicted [smug emotion ..though not very since I would have preferred Lisa to win].

Actually I thought Tom's showdance was brilliant, absolutely fantastic choreography. Vincent and Rachel's also good but not as good. Don't know what Brendan thought he was up to with the showdance - was actually relieved Lisa wasn't in the final part when I saw that, it was embarassing. I was annoyed that Tom got through, I didn't think he deserved it but of the two showdances I think theirs was the best, so I didn't mind as much in the end.

We loved Tom's showdance here - consoled dd2 for Lisa going out just about....

I love scd but it's a relief it's over as well. Dd2 adores Ian Waite and has mourned over his eviction from the contest every year since Zoe Ball was beaten in the final. It's bloody hard to cope with actually. The week Jodie went out I knew she would be upset and tried to prepare her - she still broke her heart crying

well I'm happy! Although I would have been happy for Rachel to win too, I thought Tom and Camilla's show dance was excellent.

wWth Brendan, I think he was so deflated by not being in the final that his energy really dropped - he looked like he was really struggling to lift Lisa and almost dropped her at one point - I think he would have been ok if he had been doing it for the title, cos the adrenalin would have kept him buzzing.

Well, there you go!
Not at all surprised and, tbh, not really bothered that Tom won.
I don't think that the Beeb did what they did last week to try and fix it so Tom won; I think they did it to prevent thousands of complaints from people who voted for him when he couldn't be saved.

Considering the fact that the final decision was really only based on the show dance then I think Tom deserved to win as his was a better spectacle than Rachel's.
I agree that it was technicality versus performance ... so it comes down to matter of personal preference.

Oh - did anyone see JS pretend to collect the trophy?? Kristina did not look impressed!!

JS - proves what I thought all along, pompous media grabbing git.

Did anyone else hear that Brucie called them Lisa and BRENDA btw?? ha!

Not happy with the result though, I don't think Tom is all that, and Camilla was just desperate. Their showdance was admittedly the best, but I wouldn't judge something on just one dance, more their whole journey. He should have left last week.

Lisa and Brenda's showdance did stink though, and I say that as a huge supporter of them.

Roll on next year - who would you like to see taking part??

Shame the result has been marred by last week's fiasco. People will have been voting to keep Tom out of the dance off (not realising they couldn't) and to apply those votes to the final was probably unfair.

On my wishlist for next year:

• judges' scores count for more than the viewers' votes
• money raised goes to Children In Need
• not so many couples
• no-one dropping out mid series
• no strops from Brendan
• a post mortem It Takes Two; it always feels weird that there's no wrap-up.

I noticed Brenda. And didn't Bruce make some bitchy remark to John Sergeant about 'you haven't won it so get back'?

I noticed the Brenda comment as well, that was funny - and yes, he did tell JS to get back, you haven't won it - also funny.

I thought they applied last week's votes to the count BEFORE this weeks votes were taken into account, that seemed to be what they had done.

Betcha Brenda comes out of the woodwork and has a strop about the unfairness of it all and how if Tom had left last week, none of this would have happened and he would have won of course (don't think he would and didn't want him to anyway).

Was sad to see Lisa get third place but when I saw the showdance was glad she didnt get to do it in the final as it was awful. Did actually vote this week for the first time to try and save her.

Never took to Rachel and I was willing Tom to win purely so she didnt.

Thought the judges were biased towards the girls and knew Tom would be marked down. However they did give him credit for the showdance. It was fab and definately the best out of the three - alhough Camilla's outfit was a little strange but did suit the dance when they started. Great show piece and fun and they both looked like they were having a great time.

DS asked to vote for Tom as he had supported him from the start so I let him and he was so excited when he won.

Was gutted Iain didnt dance though as he's my fave and was gutted when Jodie left. He's dancing on the tour though so will get to see him live Have already told hubby i'm buying a tshirt with him on from the merchandise stall lol

oh a post final ITT makes sense, I was shocked they didn't do one?!! ( first time been able to follow ITT this year due to work)

I just thought the most telling aspect of last nights show was when the previous champions danced. Tom is simply not in their league - he totally lacks charisma.
I hope Jill and Alesha wipe the floor with him on the Christmas special.

I thought that Tom would win and that I would be disgusted because he didn't deserve it as much as the girls and he only got it as he's a bit of a heart-throb and lots of women voted because they fancied him. But actually, when I saw the show dances, his was the best by far and he did deserve to win after all.

I agree with tribpot.

I'm a bit deflated with the result. What on earth was going on with camillas hair? it looked lank and stringy.

well, having had to go to Tesco last night I have been avoiding all newspapers and internet until tonight, sat down to watch it and DH said "who was that bloke that won it" aaghhh

Anyway, very disappointed that Lisa went out but oh my god the showdance was terrible. I thought Rachel's showdance was very blah not what I expected from them at all I thought he would be throwing her all over the place.

Having not really been bothered about Tom all the way through I have to say that his showdance was unbelievable and very very good. If the final winner is based on the showdance then he deserved to win.

Ashamed of myself to say i'm glad that Rachel didn't win she just makes me want to heave the amount of sickly sweetness sooo sincere gushing she comes out with.

I wanted rachel to win - but I knew it would be Tom. I quiet like him, but Camilla's desperation to win was awful - I hope next year they team her with some crappy old 'has-been'.

Tom should have gone last week, I don't buy the crap about the votes - the rules should apply to all the contestants, whereas he got a free pass.

Have to agree on all your messages about Lisa's showdance, it was cringworthy.
