Don’t be so hard on yourself. You can be happy if you choose to. Maybe turn over a new leaf In the new year.

La la la. Fingers in ears.

Strictly makes me happy.

I won't be put off by curmudgeons.

Fleur best on the night.

Helen most improved and embracing the ‘ethos’ of Strictly.

Hamza the worst on the night, but he won.

But it’s just a dance competition, as you say Volver, and the result makes not a scrap of difference to any of us.

Oh, just caught up - we had a long-distance phone call!

🤔 Not the best dancer and I'm surprised.

But a popular vote for a lovely man with pigeon toes!

Siope Sat 17-Dec-22 22:07:50

Despite his pigeon toes, which have driven me slightly batty all season, I’m delighted Hamza won. I gave him most of my votes.

There’s nowt in the rules that one must vote for the most proficient dancer.

I loved it, I'm a big fan of Strictly, always have been.

I would have been happy, whoever won, but, as it's a popular vote, & people often vote with their heart, I thought it may have been Helen to win, although I did have a soft spot for Hamza, (maybe because our younger DGC talked of Ranger Hamza!).

Zoejory Sat 17-Dec-22 22:11:46

Hamza has had excellent comments from the judges throughout the show. I think they know better than most of us if he's good or not.

I do think that Helen was the best tonight. Thanks to her last dance.

But it's not who was best tonight. It's who the public want to win the whole caboodle

I think he's a dream of a dancer.

Not everyone agrees which is fine 😀

TillyTrotter Sat 17-Dec-22 22:19:47

I wanted Helen & Gorka to win too. 😞
I really enjoyed the show but muted some of the “padding” waffle.
The show could have easily been 30 mins shorter but for the waffle.

Sweetpeasue Sat 17-Dec-22 22:22:52

Molly was a very polished and exquisite dancer and I have been thoroughly entertained by her performances and indeed Helen and Fleur. For me though Molly didnt have heart in most of her performances. Hamza had heart in all of his.
I wouldnt have minded who won in the Final.

Sweetpeasue Sat 17-Dec-22 22:24:51

So agree about the waffle. The screaming and whooping after every performance is just too much.

Sara1954 Sat 17-Dec-22 22:25:02

I didn’t care much for Hamzas show dance, but overall, I think he was a worthy winner.
I think I would have liked to have seen Helen win, I think she was lovely, but Hamza is fine by me.

here she comes!

Grannynannywanny Sat 17-Dec-22 23:03:57

I enjoyed all the dances tonight. I was hoping for Fleur or Helen to win. Fleur’s samba was my favourite dance of the final show.

The finale dance was fun. Kay Adams did well considering how nervous and awkward she looked in the opening show. She looked like she was enjoying herself tonight.

Sweetpeasue Sat 17-Dec-22 23:18:31

Grannynannywanny I thought Fleur's Samba was amazing too. She seemed to perform it with a sense of fun and was more controlled-less aggressive. This dance was the one that I gave my votes to.

Sweetpeasue Sat 17-Dec-22 23:20:54

Should have said, gave some of my alotted votes to.

Allsorts Sat 17-Dec-22 23:20:56

Didn't rate Hazas dancing at all. He could do lift but his dancing never looked right. I thought that was the object of Strictly. Extremely surprised he won.

mamaa Sat 17-Dec-22 23:23:32

I voted 1 for Hamza ( granddaughters fave) and 5 for Helen…did wonder if the Hamza vote might not bag me my fave!

henetha Sat 17-Dec-22 23:29:00

I really enjoyed the whole thing . Such a happy atmosphere amongst all the dancers and crew. I loved Hamza but maybe not as the winner. But I didn't really mind who won .

rafichagran Sun 18-Dec-22 01:23:09

Well done Hamza. A worthy winner and my favourite.

Sparklefizz Sun 18-Dec-22 07:12:03

Thanks everybody for the fun we've had sharing our thoughts on Strictly every week. This has made the programme even more enjoyable for me.

Kim19 Sun 18-Dec-22 07:22:29

I gave three each to Molly and Fleur. Thought they were both terrific.

Casdon Sun 18-Dec-22 07:26:09

Thanks to you too Sparklefizz, it’s been great to hear everybody’s views.

Dinahmo Sun 18-Dec-22 12:51:27

I'm glad Hamza won. It was very difficult to chose between the 3 women although either Helen or Fleur would have been worthy winners.

Judy54 Sun 18-Dec-22 16:26:15

They were all brilliant! and I enjoyed every moment of it. My money was on Helen or Hamza. Thank you to all the celebrities and professional dancers for the joy they brought into our Saturday evenings.
