Rachel - for me the best of last year's crop.

I don't agree that Lisa was the best female NOT to win, but I do think her ballroom was sublime and could never understand the flak she received.

She only had to breathe to attract the bile.

Not unlike Ricky W then

Lisa did score some high marks in what was a very high scoring series. Perhaps too high, but there were quite a few good contestants and this tends to push the marks up. After the first few weeks she was very good technically . But where was the magic? The breathtaking routines that other top couples have shown us? I'm sorry to say that they were totally missing.

Oh, I dunno. Her showdance certainly left me gasping for breath.

No it doesn't!

Reverting to my childhood too....

Rachel was the best, to eternity and beyond

Ner ner ner ner ner

From the shows that I've seen - I'd say Rachel was the best female celebrity not to win - after all she got further than Lisa Snowden for a start!

[rickster1995]

yeah but getting further means nothing

[welwynrose]

Lisa for me

If only it hadn't been for Darren Gough constantly going on and on and on and on and on about how hard it was because he'd never danced before and how he had been on such a big journey Craig obviously took his lead last week when he kept whining endlessly about how he wanted to dance at Blackpool. The British public are so gullible

Darren Gough was a much better dancer than Craig will ever be. He improved in leaps and bounds, particularly in ballroom and was surprisingly light on his feet. In addition, he was more entertaining than Craig. However, both Colin and Zoe were naturally talented dancers, so it was a nail biting final. i'm bothered that this year will be a one horse race.

Not always - but in that instance it most certainly did.

I thought that Rachel was a better dancer all round anyway, that is my opinion

For all the wrong reasons!

It was just dreadful, completey self indulgent rubbish. It was more like something from a sex manual than a showdance.

I suspect like me, that happened because your chin was on your chest the whole time and you didn't breath - shock can do that you know!

Rachel all the way. She was robbed.

[sodafarl]

Rachel was 10 times better

[Garza]

Rachel was probably the best technical celebrity dancer on strictly ever. If the show was based on dancing talent, Rachel would have won last year but apparently you have to crack a few jokes on SCD to win lol.
