I’m thrilled that Rose and Giovanni have won - I think they both deserved it.

I do need cake!

Kim19 Sat 18-Dec-21 21:31:39

That'll certainly do for me.

Rose was such a deserving and true winner. I thought their showdance was beautiful, the lifts exquisite.
There was no comparison with John at all though I loved their Rhumba for the opportunity to watch Johannes gorgeous balletic style.
I did feel sorry for AJ. She would have been stiff competition, though I think it was always going to Rose.
The show lost some sparkle for me when Rhys left. I always felt he should have been in the final.
Rose and Giovanni's relationship was so special. A beautiful match.

dance with him?
I wish I could keep up with him!

Well it would have to be a s-l-o-w dance. V-e-r-y s-l-o-o-w..

?

Remember when he was just a strippling on Bake Off? Is that the effect his cakes have ? I could do with a bit more muscle.

Delighted Rose and Giovanni won, a perfect partnership.

Enjoyed John and Johannes' last dance, which was their most equal partnership of the show.

I seem to remember John doing some nice gluten free cakes on the food network channel one Christmas. Not long after he won Bake Off. I'm not that fussed about dancing with him but I would happily help him eat some cake

So happy that it's Rose and Giovanni. Part of me hopes that they could be together for ever.

I KNOW!!! Me too.

But they are, in Electric Dreams!

A worthy winner. I did like the energy in John’s dances though.

Calistemon Sat 18-Dec-21 21:09:49

Properly

I must learn to type properly. Getting over-excited!!

Calistemon Sat 18-Dec-21 21:09:04

John can bake me a cake any time. ?

Yes, it is incredible that someone who cannot hear the music pe0roperly has won a dance competition.

Well done Rose and your brilliant teacher Giovanni

I have enjoyed watching John & Johannes some of the time but for me there is something missing in some of their dances. Grace, maybe. Whereas I think Rose & Giovanni have it all. Plus she brings such a huge joy to everything.

I still thought that John didn't move as much as Johannes. It was still Johannes being the pro.

A great final, a great result.

I feel so emotional ... as others have said, a bit of a wreck. When Gio cried, I cried ... in fact, I seem to have cried quite a lot tonight with all of Rose's dances. It's Rose for me all the way. I think she is fabulous in so many respects.

I gave 6 votes to Rose. So glad she won.

Calendargirl Sat 18-Dec-21 21:02:54

Foregone conclusion weeks ago.

AJ and Kai would have made it more of a contest,

TillyTrotter Sat 18-Dec-21 21:02:29

Congratulations Rose and Giovanni ? ? ? ?

EllanVannin Sat 18-Dec-21 21:01:44

Well done to Rose and Giovanni.

Calendargirl Sat 18-Dec-21 20:58:06

Well, it’ll be Rose I’m sure.

Calistemon Sat 18-Dec-21 20:54:30

A welcome change from Covid and politics!

Josianne Sat 18-Dec-21 20:54:23

Watching that last contestants' dance I still feel Rhys would at least have been fun to watch if they'd brought him back. And cut down on the padding out.
