Last week's Grand Final
As you may rember, the final two couples were Tom & Camilla and Rachel & Vincent. They made it to the final two rounds: the group dance (Viennese Waltz) and the show dance (aka freestyle).
I'm so glad Tom & Camilla won. That's the couple I most wanted to win. Are you lot just as glad? Did any other TV Forumers want Rachel & Vincent to win instead?
Xmas Special
Who saw the Xmas Special on Xmas Day? I missed it at the time, but videoed it and saw it yesterday afternoon. Champions Tom & Camilla were the first couple to be announced as "definite losers" in the Xmas Special. Jill & Darren won the Xmas special. Wouldn't it have been lovely for Tom & Camilla to have won the 2008 series and 2008 Xmas special, but sadly that wasn't to be.
Next Year's Contenders
So who do you want to see next year? Here's my list. If you remember, this is the list I posted here last year as ones I wanted to see in the 2008 series. Since none of them appeared, here they are again. Hopefully I'll be second time lucky in seeing some of these in the 2009 series. We shall have too wait till September / October 2009 to see.
Jon Bentley , Jason Bradbury , Suzi Perry and/or Dallas Campbell from Five's The Gadget Show .
Pete Hillier from Boogie Beebies (if he can be instructor for a pre-schoolers' dance show, he's definitely got the talent to dance)
Chris Jarvis
Terry Wogan
Fearne Cotton
Huw Edwards (BBC newsreader)
Jessica Garlick (she sang for UK in the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest, the UK's last entry to finish in the top five)
Chris Tarrant from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Cliff Richard
Vernon Kay
Gary Wilmot (that's one I didn't have on my list last year, but he should be a good contender too).
For heaven's sake, no more GMTV celebrities please. After Kate Garraway was eliminated week 7 last year (2007) and Andrew Castle was eliminated week 7 this year (2008), it seems GMTV celbs can, at best, make it as far as week 7, and have no hope of reaching the quarter or semi-finals, let alone win.
