    Ah lads stop - look at things like the Facebook likes etc tonight - Lottie was quite popular on it

    I think the problem is that you have a handful of people on here who appear to, in the main, agree with each other and they convince themselves that that's how everybody else in the country is thinking. It's mad stuff altogether.

    Must say I didn't think she'd do it but there you go.

    What I'm going to miss most is the fact that i won't see the beautiful Grainne every week.:(

    Something very unlikeable about Lottie & we’re going to be seeing a lot more of her, own radio show at the very least

    I don't listen to RTE2 but I thought she had a radio show?

    Lottie was selected for Dancing With The Stars because... she's a star for winning Dancing With The Stars??! Retrospective star status which will land her a well paid presenting job in RTE. Nepotism plain and simple.

    Not really seeing as the public vote, or indeed lack of it saw Lottie in two dance offs. Good dancer, but trained IMO.

    That's fair enough but some people around here calling it a fix is ridiculous. They were all excellent tonight I'd say there will be very little in it when the voting figures come out. Anyone really could have won it IMO.

    They never will, for the very same reason they'll never release them for Strictly.
    If they did, the potential contestants would see how many/few people vote for the dancers and it would deter a lot of them from taking part.

    Regardless of opinion.

    The judges had her in the top two and when public votes were added she tumbled all the way to the bottom two.

    TWICE and one of them was only a week ago.


    Thats the strange sudden change in vote patterns. With a head start she crashed down and when all start at zero she gets the most?

    It's not unprecedented. It happens quite a bit when someone is in a dance-off, they can bounce back in a major way the next week.
    Funnily enough, if the final had continued as planned next week, she may not have won!

    Delighted that the best dancer won it. I voted for her twice tonight and before this week I had not voted. I do think the show tonight could have been better do. They could have had both the semi finals and the final on tonight. It was very strange it going from a quarter final straight to the Final.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    They only decided at noon today that they'd wrap it up tonight

    I was surprised that Lottie won it - and then I surprised myself by how pleased I was for her.

    But there's one glaring fact that I don't think has been mentioned.

    Clearly LOTTIE BENEFITED FROM FR RAY'S 'TRANSFERS' :p:P:p

    Did they announce how the other 3 placed?

    I must say I noticed this year that they focused purely on the dancing.
    We didn't hear much back story about the participants which was as welcome relief.
    Remember other years and the stars would be yapping on about their kids or partners etc.
    This year I knew nothing personal about any of them.

    I voted in one of these things for the first time ever and I voted for Lottie cos I don’t like the way she is bullied online. And she was fabulous. But they all were brilliant tonight to be fair. It was a very strong final. Well done to everyone involved.

    I was working very late last night (healthcare) so didn't get to see it until very late. Once I heard Jennifer Zamparelli say "Lottie the hottie" I knew the fix was in. Her husband wouldn't even call her hot.

    Not a chance she's gone from bottom 2 consitently in the alst few weeks weeks to winner. Shameless from RTE.

    It's not enough that she's been gifted a "career" through nepotism, let's enrich her further, sure it's only taxpayer's money.

    It’s very odd to move up 3 places in one week.

    We will never know how the voting went in numbers. Just seemed strange how she could turn it around. Felt like she got a boost from hosts but expecting from work colleagues.

    Mod Charter Reminder:
    Please don't make demeaning comments about the appearance of actors/guests that appear in your favourite soaps/tv programmes (saying things like they're ugly, flat chested etc.).

    It's not funny or clever, and will earn you a 1 week ban from this forum from this point forward.

    Last night was just surreal and it was an awful shame that the show ended in that manner. No chance for them to repeat their favourite dance and no show dance.
    Such a pity.
    It was really eerie at the end.
    And I'll say one last thing - Nathan effing Carter for the last pro dance of the series. Christ Almighty. What a let-down.
