Started this thread as a diversion from all the political ones.
Only watched the first half hour as I wasn’t that bothered who was partnered with who really. Find the launch show a bit drawn out TBH.
Realised I only knew 5 of the 15 contestants, but that will change as the weeks go on.
Liked Tess’s gown, thought Claudia’s outfit looked similar to the PVC macs we wore in the early 70’s.

I love to read the bits on this thread, I just cannot bring myself to watch it. Love the enthusiasm though.

WOW! Kelvin's show dance! Surely he will win, and I haven't even seen his 3rd dance.

NanKate Sat 14-Dec-19 20:14:20

I haven’t watched any of SCD until tonight but Kelvin and Oti have my vote. ?

merlotgran Sat 14-Dec-19 20:19:38

It's going to be very close between Karim and Kelvin.

aggie Sat 14-Dec-19 20:35:38

I love Karim

Calendargirl Sat 14-Dec-19 20:37:34

Kelvin is by far the best, so ought to be him really.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Dec-19 20:39:26

As long as it's not Emma with the sympathy vote going to Anton.

Sara65 Sat 14-Dec-19 20:49:07

I agree both boys are AMAZING Emma is not in their class.

Loving it tonight!

Charleygirl5 Sat 14-Dec-19 20:51:57

A very high standard tonight from all of them but it is definitely between the two boys. Much as I like Anton, the sympathy vote should not appear tonight.

Sara65 Sat 14-Dec-19 20:54:39

We’ll soon know Charleygirl, I hope its Karim, but won’t mind if it’s Kelvin

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Dec-19 20:55:18

Incredibly high standard of dancing this series, and especially tonight.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Dec-19 21:07:50

Yesssss!

Sara65 Sat 14-Dec-19 21:08:48

Very fair! His dads so sweet!

aggie Sat 14-Dec-19 21:09:32

GrannyGravy13 Sat 14-Dec-19 21:10:23

Absolutely the best dancer won??

MawB Sat 14-Dec-19 21:10:27

Good call smile??????

Calendargirl Sat 14-Dec-19 21:10:35

Oh, Well Done, Kelvin and Oti! Well deserved. Bless his dad, more tears than his wife and mum!

merlotgran Sat 14-Dec-19 21:12:18

Whoop Whoop! Thank you, Kelvin. We've won £25 in the family sweepstake!! grin

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Dec-19 21:12:40

Both Karim and Kelvin seem like genuine, humble and likeable guys.

EllanVannin Sat 14-Dec-19 21:42:10

I've been willing Kelvin to win from the start. Well done him.

lavenderzen Sat 14-Dec-19 21:52:41

Well done Kelvin and Oti. What a brilliant series it has been.

gulligranny Sat 14-Dec-19 22:35:09

Kelvin has been amazing, and it was a great final. He certainly got me hot under the collar with that rhumba!!

I would love to have seen all three couples having to dance a "proper" elegant ballroom dance as a contrast to all the high-octane stuff, but that's my only quibble.

Yehbutnobut Sat 14-Dec-19 23:11:54

Great result

Sparklefizz Sun 15-Dec-19 08:52:01

I am not a fan of dancing like Karim's "free dance" or whatever they call it. I could appreciate it was moving and emotional, but much preferred Kelvin's one which could have been renamed Kelvin's Greatest Hits as Motsi said.

Ellianne Sun 15-Dec-19 10:13:27

I agree,*Sparklefizz*, sometimes contemporary dancing is more about the tricks than the actual dancing and therefore "out of the box". I think that's why Anton and Emma were popular because they stuck to the slightly old fashioned, well known routines.
