We may already know the results thanks to the most talked about spoiler this site has ever run (as featured in The Daily Star, The Daily Mirror, The Sun, The Daily Mail and much much more) but the Strictly Christmas Special is finally here.
Who was a Christmas Cracker? And who was a Turkey? Most importantly did the right person win? You can let me know your thoughts on anything to do with today’s Christmas Special right here in the comments or over on Facebook or Twitter. It’s Christmas so I’ll probably be too drunk to read your comments but post them anyway ?
As I’ve said on Facebook and Twitter, I won’t be working (yes this is actually becoming a part time job for me believe it or not) on Christmas Day so there won’t be a tweet or Facebook along to the show and this post has been set up to automatically post before the start of the show.
No polls today either, there doesn’t seem to be any point in polling you on something you already know the outcome of.
I’d like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Obviously things will now start getting quiet here at the home of the Strictly Spoiler for a while now (unless the BBC take on my April Fool idea of running a year long series) but I’ll be back sometime around August next year with the pre series build up and may post strictly news from time to time if I get chance.
It’s been one hell of a series, but after 13 weeks and more spoilers than you can possibly imagine we have a champion for 2016. And the winner is….
Ore and Joanne

Did the right couple win? Let me know in the comments section or over on Facebook or Twitter. This is your last chance to get involved in the discussion and win a voucher or a tablet! The competition for 2016 closes at midnight tomorrow night!
If you haven’t already, you can check out the most talked about spoiler this site has ever run….. The Christmas Special Spoiler. As featured in so many newspapers and magazines!
Please also check out my thank you post where I thank all those who have contributed towards another massive year for The Strictly Spoiler.
I’ll be announcing the final competition winners on Monday but other than that and the Christmas Special that’s pretty much it for another year for The Strictly Spoiler. Merry Christmas to you all and a happy 2017. I will see you all around August/September time for the pre series build up!
Time for the final part in my three part series where I take a look at the three couples who will be participating in next weekend’s final and their Strictly journey so far. I’m running this series in the order they qualified for the final so we’re rounding things off with Danny and Oti
Best Dance
Danny and Oti are the only couple to have received a maximum from the judges this series and they’ve done it twice! The first time was back in Week 9 in Blackpool for their Charleston (10,10,10,10)
They also did it again the week after in week 10 for their Samba (10,10,10,10) and became the first couple in Strictly history to get a 40 for a Samba. They have selected this as their favourite dance for during the final
Worst Dance
We have to go back to week 6 for Danny and Oti’s lowest score. They scored 30 points for their Foxtrot (7,8,7,8)
Average Score
Danny and Oti have scored a total of 470 points from the judges across 13 routines which makes for an impressive average of 36.2, the highest of the three finalists and one point higher than their next closest rivals.
Number Of Times In The Dance Off
Danny and Oti have survived one Dance Off during last weekend’s semi final following their Salsa and American Smooth. They opted to perform the American Smooth in the Dance Off beating Claudia and AJ for a place in the final.
Can they do it? As I said in my preview of Louise and Kevin if you had asked me before last weekend I would have said that they were primed to take the glitterball without too much effort. But after ending up in the Dance Off it means Louise and Kevin must have outpolled them with the public last weekend and if I’ve got my maths right so must have Ore and Joanne so last weekend they were outpolled by both of the other finalists!
That said they’ve won the majority of polls I’ve run this series but haven’t done so as commandingly as last series’ winners Jay and Aliona and there’s been far more of a mix of poll winners this series with all the Semi Finalists winning at least one poll here this series. They are leading the current poll asking who you want to win with 41% of you picking them.
They are also winning a recent YouGov poll which asked who people were voting for in the final but by a much narrower margin. The results of that poll are:
Danny and Oti – 23%
Louise and Kevin – 22%
Ore and Joanne – 19%
Undecided – 35%
All this means it is likely the undecideds who will decide this final and a lot will depend on tomorrow’s final performances with any of the three finalists potentially taking the glitterball depending on their performances in the final and how many undecided floating voters they get to vote for them. It could all be decided in the show dances though and in my opinion Danny and Oti have the best music for a show dance that Oti should be able to choreograph something memorable and spectacular to which will wow the audience.
What do you think of Danny and Oti? Are you supporting them? Do you think they can win? Let me know in the comments section or over on Facebook or Twitter. It’s the final week of the Strictly Spoiler competition and your last chance to get involved in the discussion and win a prize. There’s a £20 Amazon voucher up for grabs and you could also win a Kindle Fire Tablet in the final monthly draw. Entries to the competition for this series close at midnight on Sunday 18th December 2016 and all you need to do to enter is get involved in the discussion here, on Facebook or on Twitter.
