Yep, agree Merv. Fraggerfanny for the axe.

I thought it was going to come to blows between Len and Craig last night.

Well, I'm sorry, as much as like Danny and his dancing, on the dance off I felt Claudia was the better dancer. That quick step was nearly as good as mine :D

I love strictly. :thumbup:

What the hell am I going to do when it's all over.....start talking to the missus I suppose ;)

Deperate times Stephen!

I couldn't choose between them on the dance off, but based on what they've done before I think the right three are in the final. But who to win? No idea. Could be anybody's on the night

I liked Claudia's Quick Step a lot, but you could have driven a train through the gap between her and AJ. Danny's American Smooth was superb.

Just got back in from playing ping pong so missed the dance off....sounds like l got it spot on again with the elimination :thumbup: :oops:

Really sorry to hear Miss Fagapinny is on her way home, prematurely if what l am reading is right.

I think when it gets to this stage of the competition each dancer should be judged on a dance by dance performance and not on what has gone on before.

Shame on the judges and knickers to the lot of them.

I wonder was there a bit of chicanery from the judges last night?
Whilst I think Ore has been very good, considering he had no background in dance, it was clear that the public were not fully supporting him, hence his regular appearances in the dance off.
But coming top of the leader board with only 4 couples involved, it was almost impossible for him to end up in the bottom 2. This of course meant that little miss fraggypanties was almost certain to be up against one of the 2 hot favourites, and the judges would not be criticized if they eliminated her............just saying.

And I reckon it could be anybody's Stephen. Three great finalists, any one of whom is good enough to win on the night. Never been this close before.

Me too, hoping for a peaceful evening to watch the final. But am still waiting for the plumber to come and see to our leaking toilet , courtesy of British gas. Have rung through to find out what time they finish, only to be told that they will get us sometime today.

Ha ha

Looking forward to the final, I have my favourite and it's Louise.

If one was to judge it on the first two dances then Ore has won it by a country mile.....Louise is going to need a miracle so it's a toss up between the boys.

Well Danny and Louise certainly saved their best dances to the end but Ore saved his best three dances for the final which is why Ore should be crowned Strictly come dancing champion 2016.

Yes, Ore was a brilliant dancer this evening with Joanne.
My favourite was always Louise but he certainly deserves to win

Well done all of them.

Len's a star and will be sorely missed.
Superb competition all round this year.
