***IT"S HERE - THE 2021 SCD FINAL LIVE SHOW THREAD***

I can’t remember a RTV contestant as likeable as Rose - She is almost the perfect contestant.

text book, I bet SCowell is seething and wondering if she can sing

so both couples have topped the LB 3x, Rose has most 10s and John has highest oversall score

We all know what`s going to happen, hardly worth watching
Wasn`t too impressed with that first dance, not her best, poor choice from the judges
I think Rhydian was 1.06 or 1.07

In any normal year , John (or AJ if fit) would have been a very decent winner.

1.07 always stuck in my mind tim

im not sure this rumba is a vote winner with the public. feels like theyre just making sure. redoing week 1 tango (30)....could have changed the game

1.07 it was, then

Boring, self indulgent yoga moves from John

I doubt anything could change the game, but agree that Rumba is not a vote winner with the public outside of their core voters already on board

1.06 feels like free money

i think johannes has booked his place in next years competition

I still feel we are a long way from getting a same sex couple winner on SCD. The contestant (and partnership) will have to be exquisite to overcome the % of voters who would never vote that way , especially considering the older demographic of viewership this show has.

Have they changed the order? Showdance last?

see, its not so hard to have the results on a saturday

Agreed, hemsby; and yet he hit 2.52, madness

Excellent vt, one of the best ever

Clarks seething

I`m assuming they`re an item, certainly the most deep and obviously genuine partnership I can remember

Rose has a partner I believe

Oh really! Just looking at them every week, I would have taken 1.01

An excellent PD and certainly one of the dances of the series.

Fair play to John, I thought he would need to compromise who he was to overcome the bigotry.


But he's stood his ground and finishing 2nd to the Rose is a great result.


They'll be having gays on every year now.

it's going to be a long last hour if we have had two dances each already

Tom Daley next year

well said Bear

If TD can dance he would win.

We need Paul Hollywood to come out

Fred looks like Ian Beale with that hair

Should be back to 2 women dancing together next year - I've heard Clare Balding's free - but BBC may seek another first with a gender fluid contestant. You guys need to keep up with the times.

Two women and two men surely

badly need some fast Latin in this final

too much of the same sort of thing for me

Totes emosh here in Essex.

A final without a Charleston`s scandalous

Anton so articulate.

sick of all the blubbing

Judges have been told to waffle on a bit more to pad out time.

they certainly are

1.02 - 1.03 IR

I hate choirs as well

this is better - liven the show up

Joyous routine.

Best of the night

nothing to compare to Bill and Oti that's for sure

More drivel

isnt there usually a highest scorer and lowest scorer market in the final? i feel a bit bereft

John’s looked at the exchange odds.

Who do you vote for when you have everyone Max red?

Asking for a friend

Bill! My favourite ever contestant

Rose 1/100 with B365 IR

She's drifting on the exchange, i'd cashout if I were you

I haven’t backed her

Never mind

I have a 6k green on Judi - fire sale at 1000 - any takers?

I feel proper gutted for Aj, I think she really is a proper Strictly fan

Done her career a power of good though..

I think Kai will has quickly joined the upper echelon of male professional dancers who you hope your AP pick gets paired with.

Best dancer this year, her Charleston would have livened up the show no end; there was probably no beating Rose, but would have made the market a bit livelier

poor AJ, must be horrendous being there like that just watching

Really don`t understand the lack of love for her that I read about pre-series, she`s a delight

agree hems, bear and tim.

I didn't like her before, but really like her now.

this bit always reminds me of Get The Party Started - Pink

I can go for miles if you know what I mean, etc.

Blimey - ITT hasn’t diminished Jeanette’s dancing ability.

that was amazing from Janette & Aljaz

No Robert Webb ?

strange, not even making a comment

more to the whole thing maybe

vote closed

Doc said he couldn't dance, but could have said hi

exactly

No Tilly in that round-up

covid

Nadiya another eye-catcher this season - goes into the Tracker for next year.

yes, she needs a contender for sure

1.02 lpm

No Tilly either (COVID)

No Rhys either?

Yes - Great season for Nadia . I’ve even moved Graziani a couple of places up - Higher than Neil for example.

Rhys was there

Still the best RTV show we watch IMO

always has been

no dragging out for any suspense there

Well done Rose backers - weighed in

Gotta love Giovanni

Have we ever seen Rose’s partner ?

I had Rhys a bigger red, so feels like a win

Italy has cleaned up this year

thanks all for the whole series. roll on 2022

I have seen him Hems

Cheers all

Odds of 1.05 for one and 17.5 for the other?  Sounds legit.

Well done to Rose Ayling Ellis and her professional patner on such a richly-deserved victory.

Well done to the viewing public who understandably voted against the farcical sight of two grown men ballroom dancing.
