Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman host the Grand Final of Strictly Come Dancing 2019. Back in September, 15 Strictly stars began the competition, and now we are down to the final three. Tonight, those three couples will dance three times in a bid to lift the famous Glitterball Trophy.
First, the judges pick the dances from earlier in the series that they think each couple can improve upon. Next, the couples perform their showdances - no rules, any style. This is their chance to showcase their creativity and dancing skills. Finally, each couple will dance their favourite routine from the series.
The people with the paddles - Bruno, Motsi, Craig and Shirley - critique each performance, but it will be up to the viewers alone to vote for their favourite.
Celebrities take to the dance floor to perform a dazzling display of ballroom routines.

[@rmm1774]

This is the first final in a long time I felt that all three couples had earned their places in the final. So, it did not matter who won on the day because the other two couples were also winners. However, I have a huge problem with the BBC's voting criteria. A few weeks ago Karim and Amy were in the bottom two having topped the leader board the previous night. This should not happen because that makes the Judges look like fools. The couple who top the leader board should be given a free pass into the next week. This also brings me to the other point. Strictly voters appear to be voting along racial lines. If not there was no way Karim and Amy could have been in the bottom two twice. This must be due to the football hooligans who make monkey noises at African born players and cast their votes in a drunken stupor. As Bruno said in the quarter finals 'if you can't see it you can go to specsavers'.

[@dajtoad1]

Rubbish. Or do racists ignore the colour of the pros? Many times an unpopular couple end up in the bottom two from top of the leaderboard, especially later in the competition when there are only a couple of points in it. Ashley last year, Kellie a couple of years before. Ore won just a couple of years ago. These "prejudiced" people appear only when it's convenient for people to think so because it affected their favourite.

[@jeffiner1892]

If it's along racial lines how do you explain Oti winning?

[@totalrandomness4543]

Even if it's not racially motivated, you've got to admit it's (at least partly) a popularity contest

[@jetsofaqua2206]

Emma is worse than a few who went earlier like Michelle, Saffron and Dev

[@i.wyvernortham]

I personally think Karim and Amy should have won but the best dancers rarely win! That my opinion tho. I still don't get how they were in the bottom two twice tho. Should have been Emma in the Semi-Finals!

Even here Karim dances better than Kelvin, all I can do is laugh, this is embarrassing for the nation

[@jamesbrowne96]

Yes sexualisation of Kelvin, very inappropriate for a family show and brainwashing the masses.

[@langdale55]

Alicia embarrassing for the one nation. Kelvin said he’d get Strictly done. And he did - it finished at 9:10pm. That’s why people voted for him. Feel for Scottish voters. They all voted for a professional and were forced to accept a shoddy amateur waving his arms about and shaking his big arse trying to deflect attention away from the fact that he had no idea what he was doing.

[@lucyfield9291]

Why would it be unfair though he still danced every week and in the first week he had less time to learn the dance due to be a replacement

[@MCSCMusic]

So unfair! Strictly Come Dancing winners should be based on actual technique, performance and creativity and not popularity of celebrities/dancers. Karim should have won.

[@julkaxDxD]

It's not a dancing competition. It's an entertainment programme based around ballroom dancing (Even the producers said so). How can it be a ballroom competition if the public votes? They dont know the technique. They vote for who they like. And as Tess and Claudia say every week: Vote for you favourite.

[@eviemitchell978]

Every time Kelvin does that terrible dancing at 4:41, I cringe so hard I have an out of body experience. It gets worse when the camera pans out to show Karim dancing brilliantly and with natural talent at the other end of the screen and I remember which one of them lifted the glitterball.

[@i.wyvernortham]
