The 2016 Strictly come dancing thread

Think Len has been a cracking judge and sorry to see him go after so many years. Didn't shed a single tear either, proper bloke, could teach those big jessie miners a thing or too.

10 yesterday.  7/1 at the start of the whole thing.   Think any of the 3 would have been deserving winners, but glad Ore won.

Very pleased to see Ore win - loved his ballroom stuff and seems such a nice guy. But mostly because I was Team Anyone But Danny - at least previous ringers on the show have managed to show a modicum of charm and personality with their years of dance training.

Looks like Tal may need to hand over his King of Strictly crown, as there's a new sheriff in town.

Ore Oduba my early favourite simply based on enthusiasm.

There is someone on the betfair specials forum who lists the prices on strictly as they go on.  Apparently Ore was laid at both 50 and 55 in week 12 (only £17 each, which includes the back and lay AFAIK, £8.50 total).  But £830 was laid at 42.  I knew he had drifted, but should have been paying more attention.

Abbey Clancey and Caroline Flack were also pretty big late in the series too from memory.

Jay pretty much walked it from his jive onwards.
