Strictly : The best dancer didn't win

[Caribeing]

Ola and Chris are strictly champions, it was a fantastic final brillinant show show dances and celebrity dancers, Chris and Ola won on popularity but I think Ricky was the better dancer!! Your views

[Naomicorlett]

Quite agree. I hope they all went home happy Chris and Ola with trophy and Ricky and Natalie secure in the knowledge that they were the better dancers in the judges eyes.

yes ricky was a bit better, but was throughout. no real discernable change or improvement.
i didn't voite, but i wanted chris to win as he got better and better as it went along. its not really about popularity i don;t think, just recognition that he had worked hard and improved, ricky just stayed where he was all along.

ricky was the best dancer by far - but hes black, and from what i heard from someone, strictly is watched by a majority of snobbs that are middle aged middle/high classed people who dont like ethnic minorities...i dont know if its true but i heard it, its not my personal opinion, and that they always ring and vote twice for the english couple and if theres two ethnic couples in the final, then they dont ring in at all. i dont have a personal opinion onn this, coz i only watched it a few times and now watched todays final. x

how did aleisha win then ?

[suzie1]

please notewhat i posted was passed on from someones else, this is not my opinion, i dont have one, im neutral. i lurve em all....

[Jemisa]

Ankou, I completely agree with you. I gave my vote to Chris & Ola mainly because from nothing he worked soo hard to achieve. Ricky was excellent but he just didn't put in the effort all through like Chris.

[Ankou]

but you posted it, so you probably believe there is some truth in it ?

[Caribeing]

I have watched Strictly from the beginning and really enjoy it,. It is a good family show, agree Chris has made the best progress and was entertaining I did vote for Ricky as I though he was the best dancer irrespective of class colour or creed!

[FoxLee2]

And what about Mark Ramprakash?

[suzie1]

listen ankou, stop trying to cause trouble, i posted it to see what you all think of the comment, coz i was taken aback to hear it. i have no opinion on it personally, i never really watch the show unless i have nothing else to watch and i like seeing ricky....

[Ankou]

ok suzie, fair enough. i wasn't causing trouble, just think your post was misplaced in this jovial review thread thats all.

[Canary42]

Sadly, I think you're right Suzie, there are thousands of WASPS in this country who wouldn't ever vote for anyone of another ilk.

[Ankou]

i'm a bloke bones mccoy !!

^ oh dear oh dear....

They both danced brilliantly and I'm glad Chris won, but I agree - Ricky is the better dancer of the two. Like Suzie says, I think there's an element of racism/snobbery in there, and I don't think the recent business with the police was helpful either.

Ricky's been very consistent right from the start, but I've been impressed at how Chris has improved. He took the judges' comments on board every week, going away and working on his week points.

Do different people vote for Strictly and X Factor then.....'cos Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke have done quite well........

[suzie1]

from what i heard middle/high class old fashiioned snobs watch strictly, and young chilled out people of this day and age watch x factor....hope thats answered your question craft. The people of this day and age are more chilled and accepting of ethnic minorities and the older fashioned people are not.................Again this is not my personal opinion

[craft1948]

yeah right suzie.............(snigger)
