Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 12 Spoilers

The final is so close but for one couple it might as well be a million miles away. But who sailed into next week’s final and who fell at the final hurdle. You don’t need to wait a day when there is the Strictly Spoiler on hand to tell you the results. So here are the results:

Gemma and Mollie had to dance off. The judges saved Gemma. Mollie was eliminated!

The finalists are (in no particular order):

Joe and Katya
Debbie and Giovanni
Alexandra and Gorka
Gemma and Aljaz

Complaints to the BBC

This week’s spoiler has come from an audience mole through my usual sources and has been confirmed by a second source and should be accurate.

Don’t forget I’ve still got a two for one on on spoilers and you can check out the spoiler that all the newspapers were talking about….. the Christmas Special Spoiler.

I’ve been busy migrating this site to another new web host to try and keep it up this weekend so no winners to tell you about. I will catch up with the prize draws by the end of the series.

Do you want to win prizes? All you need to do to win one of three £20 Amazon UK vouchers I have to give away each and every week of this series is join the discussion either right here in the comments section below (only appears on single posts and not the homepage) or over on Facebook or Twitter

On the subject of moving web hosts my new hosting solution has already cost me £40 since I deployed it on Monday afternoon but more importantly IT STAYED UP AT PEAK TIMES (barring a slight blip at 21:30 which I rapidly adapted to). If you want to help out with the hosting costs or just want to buy me a pint you can donate using the button below (which paypal take a cut from) or this link which sends me all the money. Please only do this if you can definitely afford to do so and do not feel any kind of obligation to do so

Please also take a few moments to read my annual thank you post where I thank a number of people who contributed towards another successful year for the Strictly Spoiler and talk about this series and my year in general.

Finally don’t forget you can vote in this week’s poll and tell me who you want to see lift the glitterball next week. Only one option can be selected this week!

Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 12 Discussion/Poll

The final is almost upon us but before they can think about the glitterball there is one more hurdle to navigate, the semi final!

Who deserves a place in next week’s final? And who should be so cruelly left behind after getting so close? You can let me know your thoughts on that or anything else to do with tonight’s show right here at the home of the Strictly Spoiler in the comments section below (only appears on single posts and not the home pages)

Or why not join the massive communities on Facebook or Twitter and let me and the rest of the community know your thoughts on those networks.

Each time you join the discussion you earn an entry to win one of 3 Amazon UK vouchers I have to give away each and every week. I’m still behind with the prize draws for various reasons I’ve already covered but I will catch up by the end of the series!

As always (besides last week) a poll will open right here as soon as all the couples have performed both their dances. This week I’m asking who you want to win the glitterball next weekend. You can pick just one winner!

The site has moved web hosts once again this week, hopefully to a solution that should be in theory unbreakable but I’m sure someone will find a way ?. You can read more about the latest site move here. So far the new hosting has cost me £27 and thats before you guys place it under heavy load tonight.

If you want to (and can afford to) help out with the ever increasing hosting costs or just want to buy me a pint as a thanks for all the spoilers, the donation button is still open below (however paypal take a cut out of all donations using the button) or you can use this link which sends all the money to me. Please only do this if you can afford to do so and do not feel any obligation whatsoever to do so.

Finally please take a couple of minutes to read my annual thank you post where I talk about this series of Strictly and thank those who have contributed to another successful year for the Strictly Spoiler

Spoiler is expected some time around or after 10pm however with two routines each to get through tonight there could be some variation on this. Best thing to if you want to be alerted the second the spoiler comes in is to follow me on Twitter or like The Strictly Spoiler on Facebook as alerts are sent to both those networks as soon as I have the spoiler.

Strictly Spoiler 2017 Thanks

It’s that time again we’re rapidly approaching the final spoiler of the series and it’s time for my annual thanks where I thank those who have contributed towards another successful year for the strictly spoiler. And it has been another successful year. At the time of writing the site has been viewed 2.5million times this series by over 550,000 individual people.

It’s been a mixed series though with some highs and lows and truthfully that’s shadowed my year in general which has also had some highs and lows. On a personal note my highs this year include graduating with a BA (hons) in Photography and meeting the person who last month became my girlfriend. But it’s also had some lows which included the breakdown of my 11 year long relationship (and the way in which it broke down).

The 2017 series of Strictly has been much the same. There’s been highs which include just how much my social networking accounts have exploded this series. There’s now over 15,000 of you following me on twitter and about 8500 of you liking the Facebook Page. Both of those networks have pretty much doubled over the course of the series and so much discussion is now happening on those networks (more than happens on this site this series).

However there’s been some lows. The press attention at the start of the series and around the time of the Christmas special spoiler. Truth be told I don’t like being the centre of attention like this and I don’t think a guy running a blog which posts information that is already out there if you know where to look really warrants front page news (Daily Star/Star On Sunday I’m looking at you!). Of course most the newspapers take a negative slant on what I do not because they disagree with what I do but because I’m doing something that they would love to do but they cant because they wouldn’t get invited to all the cool BBC parties anymore.

Anyway this is supposed to be a thanks post so I probably should start thanking some people. I’ll start by thanking each and every one of you reading this post. I’m more than aware that the majority of visitors to the site don’t actually read anything besides the 2nd paragraph of the spoiler post so you people who actually read all my content, engage with each other on the site and the social networks and make this community what it is deserve a lot of thanks.

I also want to thank those of you who donated money to help out with the sites growing needs. This series the site once again outgrew a web hosting solution. The solution I now have in place should (in theory) now be unbreakable as if you do break a server it will just make more but I guess we’ll find out in a few hours.  The donation button/link has been actually surprisingly well used and your money has for the most part been ploughed straight back into the site to try and keep it up at peak times. If you want to help out with the hosting costs or just want to buy me a pint you can use the button below which paypal take about 5% of any money sent through or this link which sends all the money to me

I also want to thank those of you who have been patient and supportive whilst the site has had issues. I’ve actually had quite a bit of grief especially on twitter when the site has had downtime and I really don’t need grief when I’ve been trying my hardest to work on the issues (in between maintaining my social networking channels, looking after my boys half the week, studying for a post graduate degree and beginning a new relationship). Thankfully the majority of you have been patient whilst I try and resolve the site issues.

I also want to thank my girlfriend. Last weekend when the site went down again despite a change of hosting I was so stressed and so upset and actually close to tears because I care a lot about this site and the work that I do for it. She could tell I was stressed from my text messages to her and just spontaneously sent me a text message saying she loved me which made me feel a lot better and got me through that weekend.

Finally it wouldn’t be a thank you post without talking about my sources and as far as sources go I actually have more sources now than the one source I’ve had previous series that I’ve done this. I’ve also sourced moles myself some weeks through my social media channels and my thanks go out to them. However most of the spoilers you have read this series have come from a spoiler group on Facebook which is a similar community to the one I have built myself on Facebook. That group is managed by three lovely ladies who have sourced many of the spoilers through moles or other sources and just like I did last year for my usual source, this series I would like to arrange to send a thank you bouquet of flowers in the new year to each of the admin on that group as a thanks for all the spoilers they have supplied.

That pretty much covers everything I think so thank you all once again (especially if you’re reading this far in the post) and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I’ll see you all for the 2018 series!
