I was deciding between Alex and Joe for the winner tonight, but when I saw this showdance I decided that it had to be Joe. Alex's was really good, but this dance just had so much heart and soul in it. Plus the whole fairytale aspect melted my heart. I'm so happy Joe won!
The dress transformation! I screamed! Gorgeous little routine, full of charm. Not perfect, but I actually found that endearing. He was my favourite throughout. Glad I put £50 on him to win when the participants were announced months back! Special mention to Alexandra too - That jive!!! Merry Christmas everybody xx
You can always just tell a winners dance can’t you? I knew it! He’s definitely one of my faves to be on strictly, every dance was heartfelt and perfect ❤️👏
Love Katya to BITS. She's always SO creative. My niece squealed when she saw the costume changed like magic (yes, I am not working this Saturday on the Strictly final). 9.5!
SCD Observer I was waiting for your comments, I am SO glad Katya really got the chance to showcase how amazing she is this series, and Joe took on every lesson she taught! Worthy winners imo and thank you for another year of great comments - I read them keenly every series after the performances! 😊
Thank you for taking time to read. Today is the first of this series I wasn't secretly watching while working! But it meant I wasn't able to comment until my niece and her family left (I did a dinner party for her). See you at the Christmas Special 2017! Can't wait to see Kim and Pasha dance again!!!
Absolutely love this showdance - I was a bit sceptical about the music, but the slow start leading into the wham bam part was really enjoyable. Loved the story telling too. So glad Joe won
Gorgeous!! This just topped Jay and Aliona's as my favourite show dance ever. It brought me back to my childhood when I would spend my life watching Cinderella and fantasising about being a princess. Katya is truly a genius! 10!
When I saw that 2nd dress, I thought there is NO WAY Katya Jones would do a showdance in that grey/black thing and then she turned into a glitter ball - AMAZING and so creative!
Have you ever watched her competing with her husband? Her outfits are legendary! I particularly enjoyed watching her in one understated pink number! ruclips.net/video/qRH0ygIjpe4/видео.html
Loved the Showdance by Joe and Katya it was really lovely and Beautiful. We absolutely loved it We are so very happy that Joe and Katya won the final. Many Congratulations Joe and Katya you both truly deserved to win. A huge well done.😀😃👍👍👍👍🌟👑
Katya knew that the whole Cinderella/Dress change thing was a winner. Starting the song with the slow version, then into the original fast version was inspired, but the frock change - nailed it to win the whole damn thing in the night. Well played Katya. Well deserved.
Alexandra was the best most consistent dancer but joe won and that is fair because he improved every single week and I loved his last three week dances culminating in tonight's triumph! If alexandra didn't win my bet was joe and I am delighted he won
It was the most complete of the showdances, it might not have been as hectic or as flashy as the others but Katya nailed Joes strengths and created something clean, elegant and fun without throwing the kitchen sink at it (Gorka could learn from that). I prefer a showdance with narrative and focus, something the others were lacking, tho I did enjoy Debbies.
Why is most of the couple's doing a Quickstep tonight as there showdance? First Alexandra then Gemma now Joe. Good dance though actually it was amazing. 10
penny and fishy Quickstep is considered to be the "happy" dance of the ballroom dances. Uplifting, fun, bubbly. And personally, I also really like to watch Quicksteps as they are usually very entertaining and fun. I have not seen that many Quicksteps I didn't like.
Very interesting choreography, once again. Great mood, great musicality, lovely movement across the floor, but it was lacking the wow factor for me. It was 95% Quickstep. He has improved so much as a dancer, it was a joy to behold, but a little bit disappointing as a show dance. An 8.
Strictly is won or lost on the show dance, this is proved over and over again. Colin Jackson lost years ago, despite being a surefire winner, thanks to an idiotic idea by Erin Boag. Tom Chambers won for his tap routine based dance. Joe & Katya's was by far the best show dance on the night and that's why they won. Debbie McGee shot herself in the foot by going for a ballet based number after all the public fuss about her being a trained dancer already. Incidentally, if ballet is so completely different to ballroom, why is Darcey Bussell judging?
Well, I loved the concept of this very much! But I gotta say, even though it was the showdance, it had a bit too less real dance content in it for me. I loved the whole fairytale idea, and it was so beautifully done, but I wished they would've danced danced more. It was more of a play with couple of dance steps in it than a "proper" dance imo.
It's a showdance, you can faff all you want. The ONLY dance that faffing is ALLOWED. And to me it's not a faff, it's story telling. No rules in showdance. So anything goes. This is a masterpiece. And I think it captured the largely children (girls, and gender 'fluid' boys) imagination in 90 seconds who probably asked their parents or guardians to vote for Joe and Katya. I know as my niece who watched SCD for the first time fell in love with Katya and smitten by Joe as prince charming.
Fair enough. Personally I felt there could have more dance, but at end of the day it's what they wanted to do and it got them the glitterball, which is all that really matters at the end of the day
Katya's choreography makes me smile. She is the real star of this years Strictly..

Hi William! Hope you enjoyed the final! I know I did!
this showdance was amazing by joe and katya and that lift near the end was unbelieveable him and alexandra were the best tonight imo
Freaking FANTASTIC!! Katya is just a great choreographer, really playing to Joe's strengths. A tiny bit lacking in content, but the story? Beautiful!!

Absolutely love this showdance - I was a bit sceptical about the music, but the slow start leading into the wham bam part was really enjoyable. Loved the story telling too. So glad Joe won
Wow, that was a risky lift! But executed brilliantly - wtg Joe and Katya!👍
Wonderful! Great feel good dance and rather festive too. Worthy winners!

my favourite disney story with my favourite dance of the series he did so amazingly
Very creative, and those costume changes so quickly done just fantastic!

Elena lockett
He was my favourite too. Very glad he won
I love Joe ❤️❤️
This was so cute
I love the dress tricks oh do lovely people
Brill routine well done on your win
The metamorphosis of the dress was the highlight
Katya is a genius! She done the change of costume with her husband a couple of years ago. This was lovely, although there was a few mistakes. 9.
There weren’t any mistakes wyd
So happy he won!!! Very well deserved, he made the series great.
1:07 This is where they won SCD.

I like this dance. Why? Because it’s not perfect but has soul.
Is nobody going to mention that dress?!?!?!
Did
If only she wasn't married!! He is single and they are soooo adorable!!
My heart skipped a few beats when I saw Katya's creative costume change. Would have liked such a magic myself. . . but alas I'm no good in sewing ;-}
nawal💃🕺

Mangan2504 - Thank you for telling me why.
How did she do that with the dress?!
What score did they get for this?

I love this pair watched over and over.

Edie rose...
Honestly, there was way too much faffing about at the start. I want Joe to win but this showdance was such a disappointment
It's a showdance, you can faff all you want. The ONLY dance that faffing is ALLOWED. And to me it's not a faff, it's story telling. No rules in showdance. So anything goes. This is a masterpiece.

Glad im not the only one who felt that this dance was a let down.
Cute dance but Katya took too much attention away from Joe
are these the ones having affair?
Daniel Stans nope. Thats Mollie and AJ. Katya is very happily married.
Maddy Gowers .. spoke too soon
Crap!
Disappointing showdance
