Strictly Who?

Another evening of quality entertainment and some fantastic performances, none more so than Faye's epic Charleston.
Somewhat disappointing however, that some members of the general public have decided to send hate mail and vitriolic messages to Ashley and to try and vote her off the competition. She's not hurt anyone for Heaven's sake - she's just a very good dancer and doesn't deserve to be 'bullied' by the keyboard warriors, or anyone else for that matter - it's a dance competition, that's all.
Vent your anger and bullying at the z-listers in the jungle if you really must, but leave our talented dancers alone

Very close, although Ashley doesn't seem very popular, would like to see Stacey and Kevin win.

Congratulations to all the finalists and to the Beeb for providing an excellent entertainment program.
Stacey was massively popular on social media and would have won even if she'd fallen over, with Joe coming second. Faye and Ashley probably paid for having "previous" (particularly Ashley) but were fantastic to watch and credit to them for their magnanimous attitude.
Well done to all 😀

Strictly is an entertainment programme based on dancing. Having the public decide on a winner has little to do with dancing ability. There were four good finalists but the result was decided by the viewers on personality, as well as pure dancing skill. Faye and Ashley were absolutely superb dancers, closely followed by Stacey and Joe .------- Well done Stacey, the. viewers thought you deserved to receive the Trophy.

Exactly what I thought if it was a purely dance competition ashley would have walked it with faye a close second. I personally thought stacey was the worst of the final four but obviously the most popular

It was all over social media about Ashley as a previous judge and an ex dancer, Faye Tozier was an ex dancer with steps and finally Joe leaked that voters outside of the UK could vote via a loophole, that leaves Stacy the obvious winner. Anyway well done to all that competed

Its a difficult proposition for the BBC viz a viz dancers with some experienced and those with none. This would be particularly the case in the early stages in the competition where you need someone to shine a bit otherwise it just looks like a amateur show. The audience at home will love the underdog to pull through which is what happened in the end. The two winners made a far longer journey than those that already had professional dancing experience. So I suppose in every series you will have those that shine from the start, those that don't but improve through the series and those that are more or less hopeless from the start in dancing terms but not necessarily in entertainment value!

I've had difficulty with the last few sessions of Strictly this time. In my book, Ashley was clearly the best dancer, but she didn't win. The reason being either 1. People didn't think she was the best; 2. People didn't like her; 3. People didn't vote for her as they felt she somehow had an unfair advantage because of her previous dancing experience. I can certainy accept 1. as the reason. However, although I'm completely guessing, when I have spoken to various people most have said that folk thought she had an unfair advantage.... i.e. 3, and this effected the final result. In my book, the person who wins should be the best irrespective of anything else, unless they have some sort of built in handicap!
I think the BBC ought to make it clear what folk should be voting for i.e. the best dancer, irrespective of other things, otherwise this actually put the person in question at a disadvantage. Alternatively, the beeb should select contestants from a level starting field.
I actually felt quite sorry for Ashley. What else could she have done!

The public will vote for their favourite irrespective of how well they dance or not, this has been seen in past competitions where the 'useless' have lasted a lot longer than they should have. I blame the Beeb for having a mix of complete beginners and semi experienced competing against one another, a level playing field is the only fair way to start a competition like this.
On saying that, if at the end the best dancer fails to win through then no matter what the Beeb tells them, the public will always vote for their favourite.
There is no easy answer other than to just sit back and enjoy it as dance entertainment, we don't vote for this very reason.
The British public are renowned for voting for the wrong reasons

I know what you mean Metheven. In my mind the difference this time is that the best dancer didn't win. At least in the past, although the 'lower evictions' have been in questionable order, weve usually ended up with the best dancer winning it - at least as far as I can remember.
In the end of the day, it's entertainment. 😀
