The opening dance was fab, though they should have gone for the full seven minute Jeremy Jordan version of It's all coming back to me now. It might have saved a few minutes of Tess being Tess, Shirley being an eejit, and Dan boring for Britain. Ah well. 8.5 min original version by Pandora’s Box is the best!

Jeremy owns it and will never be surpassed.

Jeremy is amazing but Celine did also smash it in the 90s 😁

Gutted with this weeks vote. More upset than when Jurgen Left Bake Off

I dashed to book for Manchester but put my credit card back in my wallet. I'm not paying a few quid short of a £100 to sit on the back row of the manchester arena. For that price, I'd expct to be sat with the judges.

I didn't like the tango. No drama at all.
The QS was very fast and appeared clean but it was a bit too frantic to enjoy completely
CC just made me blub
Waltz looked clean. But I just don't enjoy Rose as a dancer. That is more about me than her I suspect. She is unbeatable for the win in the end but I just don't find her that watchable.

The samba was a bit messy in places
The rumba was very stop-start and lacking in flow. Massively over marked. 35 tops
I didn't like the Jive. The music felt entirely wrong for it
Loved the music for the AT. But it was lacking a bit in terms of footwork for me. What they did, they did well. But I want more of the dance.

I did like the jive but it didn't have enough of a change of key in the middle that ramps it up. But it was a good show and set up for the final. Mind you I couldn’t see much thru the tears 😂

I assume it will be Rhys who will get knocked out. I think AJ is the best dancer but Rose will win. The dances have been overmarked all series compared to previous series but still a great series and the best 4 did get to the semi.

2 more words, Motsi's bosoms! I’m thinking these were some of the ‘zones’ Shirley was referring to.

There's nothing I like more than a proper quickstep, with white tie, tails and a bouncy frock.
I don't know enough about dancing, but I wonder if John's muscle-bound physique is a disadvantage in a dance like the jive. The signals from his brain must take time to penetrate such thick thighs!
With all the extra filming, it's a wonder the couples had the time to learn one dance, let alone two. I really could have done without the messages from well-wishers and then the cinema stuff. Could we please have something new next year?

A worthy top 3.
But it will be a very predictable final.

Yes to me AJ is the best dancer, but I'm sure Rose will win.

If only Rhys had been in last year’s show. Maybe we wouldn’t have had a joke winner.

AJ's injury has forced her out of the final
Really sad to end her series this way.

Sad AJ is out but I don't think she was going to win despite being IMO the best celeb dancer. John and Johannes as the first same sex couple have a big following and are great personalities plus RAE is an inspiration and Gio is very popular so as well as both being good dancing couples they have been clear favourites for a few weeks.
I think Rose will edge it in the end. I'd have liked AJ to win but would be happy for either other to win.

How are they going to fil in the time now as they will now be 3 dances short. They will have an interview with AJ and Kai. Show their best moments which were likely formatted in too. They can give the judges extra time to talk. All the pro numbers are apparently pre filmed. I don't know about musical guests. They could get them to do another number. Some of the pro couples could have a routine they may be able to do. In the old days Brucie would have likely filled in but I doubt Tess would do a song and dance number ! They will have most of the eliminated couples back on so talk to them each a bit or edit extra interview footage in. BBC runs more Xmas previews to take a few minutes out of show too. Run longer preview of Xmas special maybe. If Beeb don't have extra footage to fill say 15 minutes then no-one would!

Yes such a pity for AJ after all these weeks to fall at the final hurdle. It won't be the same just 2 in the final.

Shame they don't bring Rhys back. Would make a better show. If he could do two numbers he hasn’t forgotten, the argentine and the samba and then concentrate on a show dance as from last night to sat pm it would work.
Incidentally, most random celeb check, I saw AJ in her green fluffy coat and with lower leg bandaged and on crutches outside my nail salon in Finchley ( Tally Ho if anyone knows the area)

I’ve had a bit of a week (brother had his leg amputated) so I am feeling a bit raw. I feel so sorry for AJ, what a way for this to end. Although, part of me thinks that a dancing injuring is more fitting than Covid isolation, which must have been a massive concern for the producers.

Seems there won't be too much filling after all. Yesterday, the final started at 7 and finished at 9.05pm. Today it's 7.10 and 9pm.

Both couples made great choices for their favourite dance to re-do for the final - Rose and Giovanni’s couples choice then John and Johannes doing their paso. I really don’t mind who wins as they have both been fabulous throughout the series.
