Much better than the 2018 Lindi hop athon in the way they found who won.

[@bluedragon4403]

Natali and Artem deserve to win. However Ashley was better than Patrick

[@MrAndrewGCGibson]

Not tonight he won't be. x

[@rimabegum6221]

Wow people give so much nasty comments to Natalie, frankly I'm getting tied of it! Face it she's a great dancer and she disserved to win this. For people who say that the judges have favouritism for her watch what Len said about her Paso. I don't care if people don't like her, she dissevers to win just like the rest. Stop Haters!

[@goodfm700]

That was the worst judging in the whole of stricly

[@MeanwhileGuy]

I care not a jot who was on this or who won. This is NOT swing. It's jive with some rock n'roll. No swing outs, no close hold, endless arials and lifts, not a single bit of basic footwork and no actual swing music. So in other words, awful.

[@itsangeee]

it's not meant to be completely swing, they said at the beginning it's a combo of jive swing and lindyhop

[@chloandcal]

And here's where the favouritism becomes blatantly apparent... in what world was Patrick that good? And better than Ashley?

[@TheStephrules]

And Susanna and Kevin didn't even start, basically

[@phuongluckim6358]

Abby and Aljaz got some sick moves!

[@misssamanthacullen]

Ashley was robbed! He looked so much better than Patrick etc! I'm not usually one to talk about conspiracies, but I don't think the judges were going on what they were seeing when they were judging this!

[@emilybibby6899]

Im not saying that Natalie and Artem aren't good but I do hope that they dont win seeing as Natalie was a professional dancer when she was younger. I dont think it's fair on the other dancers

[@rimabegum6221]

Well I don't think you should judge her for that, she's admitted that she had previous dance experience. And truth is that she is the best dancer and after all this a dance competition. Natalie and Artem to WIN!

[@emilybibby6899]

True.. but I would prefer if she didn't win. Its just my opinion

[@emilybibby6899]

I prefer to see someone improve through the contest like ashley and patrick than for someone to enter the competition at a very good standard and stay like that the whole way through. I have nothing against the pair, but I'd prefer if they didn't win

[@1TommyP323]

I completely agree with you. She said she 'forgot' her previous dance training, which I don't quite believe because shes not even that old! I want Sophie to win because she works so hard and shes so beautiful.

[@emilybibby6899]

Thank you!! Nice to know im not the only one against Natalie winning. I would like patrick or abbey to win as I feel both of them have improved steadily throughout the competition

[@1TommyP323]

I love Sophie's forward cartwheels she so good at those!

[@whirlwindcrazyxx1987]

Natalie and Artem should have won the whole show

[@iNeedaDoctor21]

Did Susanna shout "fuck" at 0:40?

[@andrewadams1288]

Sounded like it

[@jetsofaqua2206]

💀

[@whistlingbanshee5038]

The group routine ends at 00:20 seconds. Susanna is voted off at 00:38... That's 18 seconds! How can you judge anybody after 18 seconds!?? Len said during Lens Lens was that Natalie won because she kept her energy up the whole way. HOW IS THAT FAIR!? None of the other couples got a chance to keep their energy up!! A pointless fix to bump up favourites.... Get rid.

Great💯👏

[@alexcox15]

Robbed. Patrick was shit and should have been out second. Hate the swingathon. It's just a ploy to get the judges favourites at the top of the leaderboard. The scoring and obvious bias this year has been almost unbearable. Abby, Natalie and Patrick are Favourites Ashley Sophie and Susanna are clearly not. Unfair and none of the dances deserve the scores they receive. Lost all faith in the show this year and the endless props and sets that make their way into every dance drive me insane. Huge fan of the show for years but it is massively going downhill. If the BBC sack any more of the pro dancers next year I think I will completely lose interest. Which is sad seeing as I have been completely hooked since I was very small. Haven't taken to the new pro's very well yet (with the exception of Kevin.) Bought tickets for the tour and was hugely disappointed with the line up. Where is James and Ola??! Just seems to make me more and more angry every week.

[@0o0kar0o0]

Anyone with eyes could see Natalie was the best by a mile...not sure how the judges are showing her favouritism. Agree with you about Patrick

[@bluedragon4403]

How's Nathalie their favourite when they really bashed her tonight?! James injured his back, doctors asked him to rest!

[@alexcox15]

0o0kar0o0 Natalie is undoubtedly very good but she does get special treatment compared to some of the others. Especially as with her experience it is quite unfair

[@alexcox15]

Jason Carr Len did not so much the others. She still got a great score and that was even with a slip. I know he has I meant about them not being asked to do the tour.

[@bluedragon4403]

Its hard to see whats happening, the camera was mostly on Artem and Natalie.

[@MTSProductions]

I dont care who wins this now as long as it isnt Natalie, Dont get me wrong she is a great dancer but like some of the comments below, I personally would like to see someone who has progressed through the weeks to win, Natalie's performance level has always been very high as the others had to REALLY work to get to the level as they are now and we see that progression through the weeks as we have watched the show.

[@Tuilelen]

Ok I don't know who these people are or the politics behind it (speaking to some of the other comments here). But I've been dancing swing for years and I thought the couple with the red dress WAS the best one there, in terms of how well they were swinging. The others were too stiff, didn't swing, didn't flow from one move to the other (the transition around the aerials particularly suffered). The red dress was a clear winner - it's the one I estimated should win before it happened.

[@lalida6432]

Oh, no. Where is the dirty dancing? This isn’t a Lindy song.

[@redvamp22]

Congrats to Natalie and Artem. Ignore the nasty comments

[@Blondebarbie18x]

Don't want Natalie winning as otherwise it's not fair due to her previous dancing experience. I either want Sophie or Abbey to win!!!!! xx

[@charlotted1321]

susanna and kevin going first was ridiculous, they thought so too judging by their reaction

[@thespb0141]

You do realise that those 'outraged' reactions were just for fun? It was a reference to the dance-off scene in Grease, where the eliminated couples shouted at the judges. I do agree that Susanna didn't deserve to go first, but they were far from the best.

[@charlotted1321]

Those outraged reactions were genuine, they explained on it takes two, they had a low score in their initial dance and depended on this and was unfairly not given a chance.

[@thespb0141]

From what I could see, she was eliminated because of the very ungainly lift at 0:25, and the rest of what she did was quite laboured. I agree that she didn't deserve last, but the best I would have put her is about 4th or 5th. The outraged reactions weren't real, because it would be seen as highly unprofessional. You wouldn't see a celebrity say 'Well I thought I was extremely undermarked, I should have got at least one ten' after they were scored for a foxtrot or whatever.

[@zarakhan-gd7qg]

Best male and female dancer in the top 2

[@WagnerPicinatto]

Please... can anyone give me information of this music." Singer and song name "

[@BethanyJasper]

Natalie was maybe my favourite in strictly 2013 And loved this swing a thon Nat deserved to win it Loads of lifts and cartwheels she did Followed by Ashley Abbey And Patrick as well

[@andrewadams1288]

Did Suzanne swear at 0:41

[@Agent77X]

I can see why it beating out X Factor UK!

[@andrewadams1288]

HOW DID PATRICK COME SECOND SUZANNA DID BETTER THEN HIM

[@andrewadams1288]

I was so confused on how this worked I didbt know if the person who left the floor won or came last lol

[@isabel911craig]

Why did Susanna and Kevin go out first they should have won

[@Ranlou]

Patrick & Natalie Feel proud to be a black person!

[@seandixon9321]

Susan and Kevin were out within seconds

[@TheCookieKid445]

Ugh the judges take such favouritism to Natalie

[@seheremeliyanova2129]

why we try to find "fair" in such kind of entertainment show! go english and want a little bit fair for the exploited countries! this show is not a suitable place for justice!! I love natalie and artem! You are the real winners!!

[@swingstylez]

What is that type of swing called?

[@TRASHoftheTITANS]

+swingstylez Shit?

[@lizzypreece9092]

Lindy hop I think x

[@swingstylez]

+Lizzy Preece hey there. nope, it's definitely not Lindy Hop. it might be a ballroom interpretation of Lindy Hop but definitely not Lindy Hop.

[@lizzypreece9092]

ok sorry,

[@pennyandfishy7241]

swingstylez it is a jive mixed with rock and roll
