I don't watch the programme but as it is always given maximum coverage in the newspapers, i cannot really avoid it. Today's mirror, for instance, informs us that Susanna Reid polled almost double the number of votes of her nearest rival, Sophie Ellis Bextor, after last weeks semi final. She also pulled in 38% of the votes in the quarter final, compared with just 15% each for her 3 rivals in tonight's final. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that most of those who bother to vote will have made their minds up weeks ago as to who they would like to see win. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with that person's dancing ability.
My local radio station has been telling it's listeners all week long to get behind Natalie simply because she was born in Burnley. Any of you change your minds AFTER you had seen them dance, tonight?
