Strictly Come Dancing 2020 – Week 9 (Final) Discussion/Polls

Here we are. It’s the end of a shorter journey but for the 4 remaining couples the glitter ball is amazingly close. Just 3 dances separate them from being crowned 2020 champions.

You can let me know your thoughts about anything to do with tonight’s final right here at the home of The Strictly Spoiler but you’ll be better heading on over to Facebook or Twitter for a chance to win a £50 voucher this weekend!

Polls will be opening right here throughout the final so please check them out and let me know who you want to win as the final progresses

This poll is no longer accepting votes

Don’t forget to have a look at my thank you post too where I talk about what’s been a strange but successful year for The Strictly Spoiler and thank a number of people who have helped me out this year!

It’s been a tough year for all of us but providing this site is still going to cost me close to £1000 this series with my hosting bill for November hitting an eye watering £550. I always stress this on the donation links but it is more important than ever in 2020 that you only consider helping me out with these costs if you can afford to do so. I would not want to cause anyone else hardship because they chose to help me out. However all donations are as ever gratefully received. You can make a one time donation by clicking on THIS LINK or using the button below:

Also new for 2020 you can make a regular donation by becoming a patreon. Donations on patreon start at just the price of a coffee a month and the patreon page is very high on my list of things to work on for 2021 so hopefully I will be able to bring more to it than a warm fuzzy feeling going forwards.

There’s also ways you can help me out for free and even make some money yourself by doing so. One way I’ve been plugging on social media a lot these last few weeks is by checking your energy prices and earning yourselves £50 in the bargain by switching using my magic link (you must complete the switch using the link and not just get a quote which you come back to later). Octopus energy have 100% green electricity, are a Which recommended supplier and were one of the few suppliers to maintain a full telephone service during the pandemic. They’re a different supplier to the one I was recommending last series and are definitely worth a look as we head into the colder months.

Switching energy suppliers is quick (it takes about 2 minutes to sign up from my link and usually about 3 weeks for the process to complete), there is no interruption to your energy supply, no engineers have to visit and you don’t need to change you meters (unless you sign up to a smart tariff and don’t have a compatible meter). I get £50 from every switch so this does help me out quite a bit.

Also if you do switch to Octopus remember to enter their competition to win an electric car and other prizes. It will be available from your account dashboard and you may have got an email from them about it this week if you have switched.

Alternatively you can help me out by doing things as simple as liking all my content, sharing it and getting involved in the discussions on the social networks. This all helps to increase my visibility and get me noticed on those networks and is also appreciated!

Michelle Visage Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2019

As revealed in last night’s highly viewed Strictly Spoiler, Michelle and Giovanni have been eliminated after losing in the Dance Off to Saffron and AJ

Complaints to the BBC

You can relive their Addams Family themed Foxtrot from halloween week in the video below.

Did the right couple leave? As always you can let me know your thoughts about that or anything else to do with tonight’s results show right here in the comments section below (you must be on an individual post rather than the home page to see the comments section) or head on over to Twitter or Facebook. On Twitter remember to tag @davejthorp in your comments and include #StrictlySpoiler. On Facebook I’m going to be talking about you guys in a second.

Those on you on Facebook will have noticed over the weekend nearly all of the content posted to the page has been removed. This is because Facebook (in their infinite wisdom) have incorrectly determined that this website is in breach of their community standards and therefore have censored all links to it. I knew Facebook were confused about their community standards given they allow videos promoting violence, groups that promote hate speech and profiles that are clearly fake but trying to get people to sign up to nude photo sharing sites but this really takes the biscuit! You can read more about what has happened on Facebook HERE!

All of this means that for this weekend I’ve had no choice but to invoke a never before used term in my competition’s terms and conditions which allows me to amend the terms and conditions in the event of events outside of my control and therefore I have had to suspend all competitions on Facebook this weekend! Which is a shame because Siri would have actually selected Facebook to win this week for the first time in like forever! However due to competitions being suspended on Facebook, Twitter have actually won and I will be in touch with one of you on there who spotted the password of “A Stick Of Blackpool Rock” on the spoiler post shortly.

I am hoping I will be able to resume full service (or at worst a slightly reduced service) on Facebook next weekend. I am very sorry for the issues however all of you on Facebook have recognised that this is outside of my control and I thank you for that and your support!

You can still vote in this week’s poll and tell me who your favourites were (hopefully none of the dance off couples). As always you can pick up to 3 options!

[poll id=”114″]

Providing you guys with the spoiler and Strictly news costs me over £1000 a year in web hosting costs which last year was helped out by people just like you. If you can afford to make a one time donation and want to help me out with these costs for the 2019 series or if you just want to buy me a cool refreshing beer (and after the stress of the Facebook situation covered above MAN DO I NEED A BEER) to thank me for all the spoilers you can do so using THIS LINK or the button below

Or you can now set up a regular donation to help support me every month using the button below. You can choose to donate any amount from £5 a month (sorry I would have liked to allow lower regular donations but the system only allows for a minimum of £5 per month). You are free to cancel your regular donations at any time but will be automatically charged your selected amount every month if you donate using the button below. If you’d rather make a one time donation you should use the PayPal link/button above!

It’s bloody freezing out there which means you should check your energy prices and make sure you are on a good deal before your usage goes up. Switching takes 2 minutes and if you switch using MY LINK you can earn yourself £50 and you also support me for free. Bulb will pay your exit fees if your old supplier charges any, do not charge any exit fees themselves so you are always free to switch and have 100% green energy at low prices. Win for the planet and win for your pocket!

You can also read about the numerous other ways you can support me and the work I do including more free ways to support me (and maybe earn yourself a few quid in the process) and additional ways to make a cash donation that do not attract fees like the PayPal donations do HERE

Finally please also give this post a good old like/share using the buttons for all popular social networks above and below or over on Facebook or Twitter. Your likes and shares help spread the word about The Strictly Spoiler and really do help me out!

Strictly Come Dancing 2019 – Week 9 (Blackpool) Spoilers

Strictly is at the seaside with our 7 couples hoping they did enough to illuminate the dance floor in the Tower Ballroom. But one of our couple’s have just been locked away in the Tower Dungeon and will not be returning from their seaside holiday. The BBC might like you to wait a full day to learn who has left but the Internet has no such requirements. So here are the results

Michelle and Saffron had to dance off. The judges saved Saffron. Michelle was eliminated!

Complaints to the BBC.

This week’s spoiler has come from an audience mole through the spoiler groups I work with and should be accurate.

What do you think of the results? As always you can let me know right here in the comments section or over on Twitter. Unfortunately Facebook is having issues with someone maliciously reporting links to this website as being spam which means most of the content on the Facebook page has been removed. I’ll be trying to resolve this as soon as I can. Each time you get involved in the discussion you earn an entry into this month’s prize draw to win an iPad. The draw is only a couple of weeks away so get those entries in!!

Talking of winning don’t forget that if you can spot the hidden password in this spoiler post and reply to the competition posts on Twitter with the password and #StrictlySpoilerComp you could win a £50 Amazon UK Voucher. Entries close at the start of tomorrow’s not live results show and the draw will take place shortly after the results show. Due to the issues with Facebook mentioned above the competition has been suspended on there this week. Sorry about that but I will hopefully have this resolved shortly.

You can still vote in this week’s poll and tell me who illuminated your Blackpool week. As always you can pick up to 3 options!
