As the original thread has reached the 1000 post limits I thought I’d get another one going.

Did anyone see Lewis and Katya on It takes two tonight? Poor Katya seemed distraught.

Yes, the voting only closed at 9, then the whole programme ended at 9.10.

So the independent counting and verifying can be done in a few minutes, if needed.

Surely that is something that will be taken into account, moving forward to next year.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching last night. I did want George to win as I think he is the most improved, but I was happy to see Karen win—anybody but Amber.

It was also good not having to wait another day for the results, which would have been leaked. Producers, please note.

I too voted for George to win last night.

I thought his Viennese Waltz was just amazing, proper dancing and he always came across when interviewed. as being such a lovely person.

I’m not keen on all that throwing around stuff, it’s just not nice to watch.

Carlos cries a bit too much I think.

Yes, Bukkie I was looking forward to Lewis' Argentine tango too.

Glad Karen won, she seems to have been through such a lot and hope she gets great joy out of being the glitterball holder.

Would also like to add my thanks for this lovely light hearted thread, I've only dipped in and out but have been entertained by all the comments.

Merry Christmas everyonetchsmile

I am pleased for Karen, what a lovely young lady she is. She brought the best out in Carlos. I had never heard of George before Strictly but he is a beautiful young man. I thought his Showdance was the best of the night. Amber is a brilliant dancer but was fake and false until the end. But as many have said the true winner was Lewis. I am so sad we never got to see him do an Argentine Tango.

I wanted George to win.

I've voted for him every week and he deserved it and was the only one to do a ballroom dance.

Thank you Sparklefizz and everyone for this thread.

I voted for George because of this reason, his dances varied in the final, showing different steps, different skills.
And because I thought he was the best dancer as well as the most improved.

They were all excellent.

George and Alexis without a doubt!

I shall miss my Strictly fix but for those of you who like it - The Great Pottery Throwdown starts Sunday Janaury 4th.

I think Karen has been good for Carlos. He has shown humility, and admitted he did not deserve a partner last year.

TillyTrotter Sat 20-Dec-25 22:44:54

There were brilliant dances performed tonight and many were worth ten’s.
A great show, and I look forward to the Christmas Day show which Tess & Claudia will be in as it’s already been recorded.
Congratulations to Karen and Carlos , another year over.
Thanks to all for this lovely thread.

Another great evening of entertainment. I’ll miss it next weekend! I’m happy Karen and Carlos won.

This has been a lovely thread thank you. See you all next year.

Keep dancing! 💃

See you all next year.

Great Thread. Enjoy the Christmas Special 💃 🕺

kittylester Sat 20-Dec-25 21:21:27

See you here, same time, next year!

Grandmabatty Sat 20-Dec-25 21:17:28

I found tonight very emotional. I've needed hankies on more than one occasion. Karen did well

merlotgran Sat 20-Dec-25 21:15:21

Thank you Sparklefizz….
Until next year

GrannyGravy13 Sat 20-Dec-25 21:14:13

Well done Karen 👏👏👏👏

I will miss Claudia, I think she is goofy and good.

Tess has been there since day one, 25 years, well done her. She can now rejoin her family in autumns to come.

Sparklefizz Sat 20-Dec-25 21:11:39

Well done Karen and Carlos!! Well deserved.

Thanks everyone for your company. Night. x

Well said Easybee. Sums up what I think perfectly.

eazybee Sat 20-Dec-25 20:55:43

Karen did fast complicated steps,
George danced,
Amber performed.

But the winners should be Lewis and Katya.

YorkLady Sat 20-Dec-25 20:53:43

My votes have gone to George. Really enjoyed tonight.
Thanks everyone x

Casdon Sat 20-Dec-25 20:53:27

I’d like George to win, I think he’s come the furthest, but I like them all.
