I really hope Jason Gilkinson has been kept far away from this year's showdances. I'm not over the utter let down that was Rose's last year.
I think both Hamza and Helen have dances in the final that will grab extra voters, his salsa and her couples choice were the 2 most popular dances of the whole series and hamza’s couples choice was definitely up in that category as well. Showdances will be important but even then I feel like it’s going to be very close.
Based on this i’m assuming they have went back to the previous order of judges pick, showdance and then couples favourite at the end? A shame if so because it always made much more sense to me for them to end on the showdance.
Two and a half hours seems very long.When do we think roughly the votes will be opened? It’s on 7.05 to 9.35 so maybe 8.15/8.30-ish?

I assumed this was taken at the end of dress rehearsal rather than the start?Look's like they are starting with couple's pick first.
Do they open after the second dance? Talking of which, this post from the floor manager suggests they might be doing their favourite dances last (like in 2020 - I think last year it was showdances last year)
I’m pretty sure the voting opens after the first round of dances?Yeah I think it must be after dance 2 - vote lines open for half an hour and an appropriate amount of time for them to be counted/adjudicated. Or have they announced musical guest(s)?
I too remember when the person with the lowest amount of votes got turned out early. That would be worse than going out in the semis .
I honestly can’t remember!I’m pretty sure the voting opens after the first round of dances?
Me neither I think it’s after the first round though, giving people plenty of time to vote throughout the rest of the show?I honestly can’t remember!
That makes sense - the vote lines don’t have to only be open for half an hour in 2 1/2 hour showMe neither I think it’s after the first round though, giving people plenty of time to vote throughout the rest of the show?
Oh right that makes sense!! I was thinking they are already in costume for the start.. Doh.I assumed this was taken at the end of dress rehearsal rather than the start?
I don’t understand the “I hope Pro X wins this year, they deserve it!”, “It’s time Pro Y won, he’s been in two finals”, “But Pro Z has been on Strictly for five years now!” It’s not about the pro and distributing wins amongst them fairly/based on time served. I like Helen but I won’t switch my vote from Hamza just so Gorka can get the win he ‘deserves’ because he’s been on the show for ages.
Those are the exact reasons why Helen will win. Some of the pros are making it clear who they are backing.I’m hoping there’ll be a massive last minute push for Fleur & Vito because if Hamza doesn’t win I’d rather they did. I personally think Helen’s the weakest dancer of the final four & I don’t want her to win just because she’s a nice lady who’s had a hard year. And just because it’s Gorka’s 3rd final doesn’t mean he’s due a win either.
I agree, obviously it’s nice to see a pro win after missing out so many times but this is not what I base my voting on. Seeing all the other pros all rooting for Gorka on instagram kinda makes me want Hamza to win even moreI don’t understand the “I hope Pro X wins this year, they deserve it!”, “It’s time Pro Y won, he’s been in two finals”, “But Pro Z has been on Strictly for five years now!” It’s not about the pro and distributing wins amongst them fairly/based on time served.
