***Strictly Come in here for the Dancing final - Yeah baby!!!!***

[AvadventCalendar]

Brand new thread for the Strictly Come Dancing finals - Go Team Cola!!!!!!

Team Cola - yay! Looking forward to the charleston again.

Ooh one hour special from last night
at bruce and alesha. Holy cow.
Thanks to Idontknowhowtohelpher for the lisa/Brendan shocker. Subtitles were hilarious. I was in bed developing grim Christmas bug I think for the final last year.

Off to get some gin and popcorn for me evenin's viewing.

I am Team Cola but I won't just vote for them blindly. Whoever delivers and puts a smile on my face and a chuckle in my throat will get my ten vote.

SO looking forward to the simultaneous Lindyhopping and also seeing the Charleston again.

woohoo we made it to the discussion of the day bit over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>

was that your work Olivia?

where's your name change? Or aren't you allowed to have one?

Team Cola all the way.

Ricky is arrogant, not at all gracious and it will do him good to have Chris beat him.

Still going with Team Cola, because the spirit of Strictly is people learning to dance. Ricky was good from week one. There is no fun in that.

well from comments here and looking at all the facebook statuses of my friends, looks like it's going to be Chris and Ola to win make sure you vote everyone, whoever you are going for

I'm a bit excited about tonight .

My heart says Ricky should win, my head says 'team cola' who imo are really, really annoying will win - haven't they been pulling in a mad percentage of the vote?

Lisa and Brendan's showdance truly was dreadful - plus they danced it after she'd been eliminated I think so Brendan clearly thinking "can't be arsed" about it.

Colin and Erin - I was convinced he was going to win til I saw that. Tom and Camilla - I was convinced he wasn't going to win til I saw that. It does seem a lot can hang on the showdance. I thought Mark and Karen's was a great routine although not fantastically executed - my main bug bear about every final that only has two contestants is that the finalists are so bloody knackered by the end of it they can't give their all to the showdance. It's why I do seriously wish the producers would come up with some kind of other rule for the almost inevitable occasion of someone stepping out mid-season.

Really undecided about who I want to win tonight. I can definitely see Ricky and Natalie doing the more impressive showdance, although as Tom and Camilla showed, star power can save the day.

Ondine, no figures are ever released for the phone voting.

trib - last year I was all set to vote for Rachel - hated Tom with a passion... until Tom and Camilla did their showdance and I was blown away.

I'm also put off as Natalie has already won in Australia. i thnk the joy should be spread around a bit more.

Ola will will be so emotional if she wins.

I ma very nervus now...southern comfort, fairy lights, and candles at the ready, Dh cooking diner for me to watch whilst I watch and kids read rules about talking whilst whilst it's on.

I think I'm ready.

Ricky has danced well from the start of the series but Chris has improved week by week coupled with the complete sense of fun they bring to the show it has to be team COLA!

I thought Natalie was Kiwi
Why did that Kiwi girl who danced with mark foster get fired?

Have they taken the 'dance down the stairs' bit out of the quickstep?

Ah no it was a dance up the stairs

wtf are those sequins on CRH's lapel?

I don't want R and N to win.

Come on C and O!!!!

God Chris just do the friggin' hands this week!!

Ola's dress very Gwynnie Oscar TearFest, n'est pas?

I want Chris to win - I think Ricky is boring

Ola and Chris will be so honoured to win and gracious in defeat.

Natalie and Ricky expect to win and won't be gracious if their previous comments are to be taken notice of.

V true Fab.

Are Joe C and Kristina a couple now too?
And Ricky & Natalie?
It's v coupled up this year, isn't it?

Kristina is same age as me.
