Strictly 2018.

Why do these pop group girls always put toxins in their face. They look daft.

It's not about dancing ability any more.

It's just a popularity contest.

It's always been thus. Next you'll be bemoaning the fact that Top Gear isn't a consumer-informing car show.

Strictly is a dance-themed light entertainment show, and Top Gear is a car-themed light entertainment show.

I was about to be outraged if it was Ashley vs Faye in the dance off.

I cant decide who i want to win. Stacey has improved nicely along the 'journey' and Faye is just perfection in every way.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Lauren in the dance off. Right decision, considering the alternative was Faye.

Lauren doesn't have a chance against Ashley though. Mind you, who knows, maybe Ashley will mess up and be eliminated. Unlikely but possible.

Top gear doesn't promote the worst car and send the better one home.
TG isn't a competition.

Awwwww. I love how humble and emotional Faye is. I just want to give her a big hug.

I wonder which of Little Mix are going to turn up as a contestant in a future Strictly?

15min delay
Perhaps she will dance better than sing

[Clockwork Cupcake]

So, wait... did I predict it right? Did I get something right for once?

This is worrying. Joe safe, Ashley in the dance off. Surely he isn’t going to get enough public support to win it?

It's a popularity contest. He has all his social media followers plus everybody else who just thinks he's a nice young man.

I've enjoyed this series as it's the first where everyone has been at least a fairly good dancer. It was always irritating to see joke acts who never tried to improve voted through week after week while much superior dancers and people who worked hard were voted off. It's what makes it all the more irritating at this stage to see the complete lack of support for Ashley.

Anyone notice the lack of waving from Ashley at the end. She is well pissed off.

Yes.

I also noticed that Darcey looked very strained and almost seemed to be speaking under duress.

[Robertj21a]

Right decision, but it won't help Ashley very much. The Final only uses the public vote, so she'll not be getting very far !. Perhaps the BBC will now learn to not put highly skilled, trained, dancers in Strictly in future.

[Antony Moxey]

Right result eventually, to be honest Lauren should have gone about six weeks ago. Joe had a definite wobble this week as he’s been much better recently soon that respect I think he deserves his spot. Perhaps the only one that might have been better was Charles who improved massively both as a dancer and how he appeared before the camera after his couples’ choice dance.

Feel a bit for Joe though as in terms of ability he’s definitely the fourth of the four but it should be a good final nonetheless as the other three really are the business. Would love to see Faye win but won’t be too disappointed if it’s Stacey. Looking forward to it hugely now.

Part of the engineering process to get the desired result

Learn and the BBC don't tend to go hand in hand

[Robertj21a]

Faye or Stacey to win, they both deserve it.
