Well then , what did you all think of the final tonight?
I wanted Matt to win but have to admit Mark was brilliant  I,ve never really liked his partner much though.

I don't know if it's me or what but do you think that Karen has been a little OTT the way she kept draping herself over Mark?  I know that the dancers develop strong bonds and friendships but to be honest I would have been a little put out if I was his wife as the way she acted seemed a little OTT.  BTW I am defo not the jealous type :D just curious as to whether my thoughts are shared.

Karen is a wonderful dancer but I can't stand her !. Last year with Bill Turnbull she seemed very sweet and demure. This year she was so arrogant.
I'm afraid the series for me was ruined - I assumed it was to find the best dancer so I fail to understand why the 'experts' put Emma so high up most weeks and yet she often ended up in the bottom two.
I'm one of those who think phone votes are fixed anyway !.
Mark - well I can see he can dance but he would still have won even if he hadn't bothered turning up !. Too fake and smarmy for me with zero personality but Matt seemed to take everything in good heart and with humour.

I agree, I thought that Matt's show dance was far better but I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Mark was going to win!

I agree with Cheryls  about Karen I have a feeling the only trophy she was interested in was Mark himself it seemed like she was flaunting the fact that she had dishy Mark all to herself.
Ir eally did want Matt to win his partner seems really genuine .

oh i LOVE karen,think shes so passionate & determined.

i wanted Matt to win for Matt, but wanted karen to win for karen!

i much prefered Matts show dance!

to add i still havent got over the fact that lousia got voted out!!!!

What was Karen crying about at the end? I got the feeling she was crying more because she wont be dancing with Mark than because they won. If Id have been Marks wife I would have been jeolous because she was all over him constantly and they were quite intimate even in the final slow dance at the end. I thought Mark looked really uncomfortable though at the end and seemed to be keeping her at arms length. Maybe he got daggers from his wife?!?
