Jamie and Karen dressed as Hercules? Good grief :-0

Yes it could so it is the most popular.

Well, that could make it very interesting, AnnG :-)

The ultimate winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2017 will be decided purely by the public vote. The phone lines will open once every couple has performed their first routine and the viewers will get the opportunity to vote for their favourite couple/s. ... Viewers will be able to vote by telephone or online.

I think it is the people

I think if it's a people's vote it could possibly be Bill or HRVY :-)

If a Judge's vote then HRVY or Maisie :-)

Oooh now you are asking something! I cant remember either.

Nicola and Katya are coming back for a show dance.

I can't recall, is the winner chosen by the people's vote or The Judges? :-)

Sounds like a good selection. Purely from how he has progressed Bill would be a worthy winner. As the best dancer though I don't think he should be, I think it should be HRVY, Maisie is very very good but not sure the people like her, Jamie is a bit of a wild card.

The dances have been announced for the final.

They will all dance their "showdance"

Their own choices:-
Couples choice-Bill and Oti and Jamie and Karen
Quickstep-Maisie and Gorka
American Smooth-HRVY and Janette

Judges choice:-
Quickstep-Bill and Oti
Samba-Misie and Gorka
Jive-HRVY and Janette
Charlston (dressed as Hercules)-Jamie and Karen

Bill and Oti are the bookies favourite to win, followed by HRVY, then Maisie, then Jamie.

Good luck to them. Starts at 6pm (I think)!!!

I'd love Bill to win but think the winner will be Harvey and very well deserved it would be too.

Quite right Ann, Giovani did look the business in his tux.

I always used to think Brendan looked pretty good too. ;-)

HRVY to win as he started from scratch and really listens and tries and is brilliant. Maisie was like a fairy in her last dance and has a bright future. The others hadn't quite caught up with them. Didn't the handsome Giovani look the matinee idol in his tail coat and slicked hair! I did like that teal coloured dress Shirley was wearing.

I don’t like the way Motzi stands up and whoops. She is supposed to be an impartial judge. If Bruno wasn’t going to be there, they should have brought in an extra judge. Shirley and her bias would still have had the casting vote of course

So Ranvir has gone, what a shame. Some of her dances have been Gorgeous Dahling!

Ranvir has her picture in the papers this morning, with heavily bandaged toes. I dont suppose that helped her.

I wonder if we will all be wrong with the eventual winner?

Next week is the final, so we do not have too long to wait.

It has been a shorter season this year, but the whooping has still been ear shattering. :-D

Yes I agree , Ann about Ranvir's dress, I think if it had been about 4" shorter it would made a difference. Afterall, she got a higher score than Jamie when they first danced those dances:-0

The fact that Jamie was so enthusiastic vocally I think might have helped him, to be fair though that is not Ranvir's way she was a lot more demure :-)

At the end of the day, I don't think either of them would be able to out dance HRVY or Maisie :-D

Every time Jamie was in the dance off the judges have saved him. The judges like Jamie (Well Shirley does. However, Ranvir didn't do as well and I wonder if that dress didn't halp by hiding her feet.. she was obviously very disappointed. I think HRVY should win though for how he has progressed through his performances and for his sheer determination. I do enjoy Maisie's dances though and I am sure she will end up in musical productions.

I really had hoped that if the Dancers were allowed to pick their dance that Ranvir would get through if she was allowed to do her waltz :-D

I think as Linda has said there is a clear distinction between HRVY & Maisie and Bill & Jamie :-)

Given the Finalists, I would like to see HRVY win......he comes across as a genuinely nice young man. For someone who has had little or no experience he really has been a revelation :-)

Three dances next week :-0

May the best celeb win :-D

I really hope Hrvy wins next week. He's done brilliantly and deserves to win more than Maisie-with the added bonus that it'll give Janette her first win although she's already on cloud 9 with coming through this far. Three dances next week!! If I remember correctly isn't one of the dances they perform in the final one of their own choice?

I think Hrvy will win because the public like him better than Maisie. Yes she is a good dancer and I am sure she will be cherry picked for the West End where she will do well, but she has been groomed for this all of her life. Hrvy on the other hand comes over as being a nice young man and as a total novice he embodies the spirit of the show .
