We’re heading into Strictly season so traffic to this site, and therefore my costs will soon start to sky rocket. In 2021 I spent over £3k in hosting costs to keep this site up at peak times! If you want to help me out with these costs with a one time donation you can do so using THIS LINK or the button below. Please only do so if you can afford to do so especially during this cost of living crisis and there is no obligation on anyone to help me out this way.
Or why not join the crew on patreon? Patreon subscribers gain exclusive access to the results of the exit poll each week. The earliest indication as to how the public vote has gone providing a possible spoiler hours before any other source as soon as The BBC vote closes each week. Plus the spoiler will be shared to patreon subscribers free of other monetisation in an ad free form! All for less than the price of a coffee each month!

Here we are. It’s the final weekend and whilst there may not be a spoiler tonight because not even The BBC are stupid enough to prerecord the final results there is still a lot to discuss during the course of tonight’s final.
But who is going to lift the Glitterball and who will finish in 2nd place? You can let me know your thoughts on that or anything else to do with tonight’s show right here in the comments or over on Facebook or Twitter. Each time you get involved in the discussion on the social networks you earn an entry into this year’s huge competition where one of you will be winning a £500 voucher. There’s only two more places available in the draw, one on Facebook and one on Twitter and two of you will be picked this weekend to join the 10 people already in with a chance of winning £500
Multiple polls will be running throughout the course of the final so check back for them as I’ll be getting your opinions after each round of dances polling you on who your winner is trying to get one last spoiler of the series!

Here we are with the final part of what has become a 2 part series taking a look at this year’s finalists and their journey to the final. Following the withdrawal of AJ and Kai we will be continuing and concluding the series with John and Johannes
Worst Dance
Back to week 4 we go for their worst routine when their American Smooth scored 29 points with the judges (6,7,8,8)
Best Dance
John and Johannes have fallen 1 short of a maximum on 4 occasions this series. The first was in week 3 when their Pirates of the Caribbean inspired Paso Doble had all the judges bar Craig reaching for their 10 paddles (9,10,10,10)
Craig was the hold out in week 10 too when their Argentine tango came close to a perfect score (9,10,10,10)
Then in last week’s Semi Final Craig again denied them perfect scores with their couples choice and Jive both scoring 39 (9,10,10,10)
Average Score
John and Johannes have amassed a total of 454 point across 13 routines making for an average of 34.9. This is the highest average of the 2 finalists
Number of times in the Dance Off
John and Johannes landed in the dance off during last weekend’s semi final however their Jive (above) dispatched with Rhys and Nancy with all 4 judges putting them through into the final
Can they win?
It’s going to take a lot to overturn the momentum that Rose and Giovanni have been building throughout the series but I wouldn’t discount John and Johannes quite yet. They too have the journey as Strictly’s first all male couple and have been showing that two men dancing together can create every bit as beautiful Strictly moments as a male/female couple. They have built up a wonderful partnership which resonates with many of the Strictly viewers and whilst their competitors have been making advances for the deaf community John and Johannes have been doing the same for the LBGT community and have demonstrated that two men dancing together, in 2021, is something completely natural and beautiful.
Ultimately with a strong final and if they pick up floating voters from AJ and Kai they could possibly do it however I must mention that only 12% of visitors to this site wanted them to win after the semi final though AJ and Kai’s retirement may have changed that.
Will you be supporting John and Johannes? As always you can let me know your thoughts about that over on Facebook or Twitter. Each time you get involved in the discussion on the social networks you earn an entry into the biggest competition I have ever run with a whopping £500 voucher up for grabs for one lucky winner this series. Full details of the competition can be found here.
