Every year it's the same. Except in 2006 when it was not the same. It was different. In a good way. But every other year (apart from 2006) since strictly started, the Wrong Person has won.
The particularly upsetting years for me were - well, actually, all of them. But if I had to pick the most outrageous travesties against justice and all that is right and good in the world, I'd go for 2005, when Zoe didn't win, and 2008 when Rachel was robbed.
And this year, to add to the role of shame, we have poor Ricky.
Once again, the whole family is gutted. Once again we are forced to confront the fact that apparently we are wildly out of step and sympathy with the Great British Public. We are outliers not in a good but in a bad way - excluded from vox populi. Again. And as in previous years, it's put a real downer on Xmas before it's properly begun.

I called the result a fortnight back, once we knew the finalists would be decided on public vote. Chris and Ola have had the public vote all the way through, as they got to the last three and the judges then had no say, I would've been shocked if they'd been beaten.
Most importantly though, the votes of the Arnold household tally with those of the Spaul jury. ;-)/
