Strictly 2018 Discussion Thread Grand Final at 6:30 on BBC1

[Daniel-X]

On another note, Joe is boring.

[Morgan.]

On another note, Joe is boring.

Funny way of spelling best

[LukeB]

Funny way of spelling best

He would have said Stacey:smug:

[Vanessa]

I think what people find boring it's just a matter if opinion. For example, i find Faye boring. But i liked her last night.
Joe is my favourite and i think he's brilliant.

[Daniel-X]

I think what people find boring it's just a matter if opinion. For example, i find Faye boring. But i liked her last night.
Joe ia my favourite and i think he's brilliant.

Oh yeah definitely Vanessa I agree. I just find Joe not very memorable after dancing, I won’t deny he’s talented but I just find his routines a snooze.

[Vanessa]

Stacey is my second favourite. She always gets my free online votes. Then i give phone votes to Joe.

[Daniel-X]

Funny way of spelling best

I didn’t say Stacey or Faye.

[Daniel-X]

Stacey is my second favourite. She always gets my free online votes. Then i give phone votes to Joe.

Queen :love:

[Daniel-X]

Kate was horribly undermarked :(

[RileyH]

Kate was horribly undermarked :(

No she wasn't

[Daniel-X]

No she wasn't

Don’t you ****ing come to her!

[Morgan.]

Stacey :love:

[RileyH]

Don’t you ****ing come to her!

I like her but she was bloody awful

[Nicky91]

Don’t you ****ing come to her!

Kate's rumba was beautiful, a rumba is a really difficult dance and she did amazing with the theme she had :)

[Crimson Dynamo]

I did not get the love for Ashley last night, the outfits were horrific

Stacey and Faye shone like diamonds

[Twosugars]

Kate was undermarked, a fact.

[Crimson Dynamo]

there was a lot of harsh marking last night

it was 4 city arizona

how that doctor fanny survived is a mystery

[Twosugars]

LT, no spoilers please :nono:

[Crimson Dynamo]

LT, no spoilers please :nono:

welp sorry

:shocked:

[Jase.]

Just watched. Ash and Faye were INCREDIBLE. Seriously blown away right now!

[Black Dagger]

Bore off.

[Nicky91]

Bore off.


my Lauren has nothing to lose :flutter: i am mega proud of my sweetie :hee:

[Nicky91]

i have had enough now of being backed into a corner, i need to stand by my favourite who i like, and i shouldn't care what others think


people like Lauren, Kate, Joe is what strictly is all about, turning beginners into dancers :flutter:

[Nicky91]

next paralympian signing for me would be Jessica-Jane Applegate, i can personally relate to her so much, us both having autism, i think strictly would be good for her to turn into a more confident young woman

and i am really really happy since last year they got paralympians on the strictly line up, cause it inspires me so much, to just try out some dance moves myself, all these different dance techniques, i find it so sad that i'm not a celebrity, otherwise i could take part on strictly, and that would be a dream come true for me

[Nicky91]

Kate has argentine tango, so she's safely through into week 8 then

[LukeB]

What does Ashley have

[Nicky91]

i don't know yet

[Jase.]

Kate's doing the first AT? Where has this been confirmed?

Disappointed. I wanted Ash or Faye to be the first :(

[Nicky91]

on twitter apparently

1056850349913501696

[Jase.]

ugh

[Nicky91]

i think Faye could get a lower score than 39 now she's back to a normal dance again, rather than the theatre showdance

[Nicky91]

jive song suggestion from me for Lauren would be Ed Sheeran's Galway Girl :think:

[Jase.]

When do we normally have a list of the dances/songs? Tuesday?

[Nicky91]

yes on tuesday :)

[Vanessa]

I'm bored by Ashley and Faye. They have a lot of dancing experience and get the same score evey week. No progression whatsoever. Its really boring for me.

[Nicky91]

if only they did rig it like that for Aston last year to go all the way to the final :notimpressed:

but no we got them being too honest with him, and landing in the dance off against someone who had more dance content, even Mollie found it awful to be in the dance off against someone she really likes :(

Ashley and Faye have way more dancing experience than Aston. Aston can dance, but is not a professional like they are.

[Morgan.]

Ashley and Faye have way more dancing experience than Aston. Aston can dance, but is not a professional like they are.

They're not professionals. They're not ballroom and latin trained. Because if they were, they wouldn't be on the show.

[Nicky91]

Ashley and Faye have way more dancing experience than Aston. Aston can dance, but is not a professional like they are.

i do know what you are trying to say, and also from the iconic movie strictly ballroom it also highlights the beginner turning into a dancer bit


i think that is more impressive, loved what Dianne said last night, Joe has become a dancer :love:


Lauren with the Jive, well if she had this in the first few weeks i would say, no chance at all with this dance, but now when she's more and more finding her confidence on the dancefloor, i am open to a surprise again :)

[Jase.]

I'm bored by Ashley and Faye. They have a lot of dancing experience and get the same score evey week. No progression whatsoever. Its really boring for me.

Ash's Charleston was the most un-boring thing of the series? :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm bored by Ashley and Faye. They have a lot of dancing experience and get the same score evey week. No progression whatsoever. Its really boring for me.

when you are hitting 39 there isnt much progression to come

[Crimson Dynamo]

Every week Faye is progressing and showing her mastery of each dance genre

:flutter:

[Nicky91]

Ash's Charleston was the most un-boring thing of the series? :joker:

no it's more like, there's no journey, she was at the top, and she still is at the top


her charleston was good, but not very surprising

[Crimson Dynamo]

flawless artistry

[Nicky91]

Every week Faye is progressing and showing her mastery of each dance genre

:flutter:

what progress :conf: i only see her just get high scores from week 1 till now

[Crimson Dynamo]

what progress :conf: i only see her just get high scores from week 1 till now

mastering each discipline

This was the best dance on Sat, Stacey second. Just look at the style and taught moves, classic

[Nicky91]

pklFxYRI4i4

Stacey i found that more impressive, a first of the lady leading the guy in a tango, and that also from a novice :clap2:


Faye well, predictable that performance, given her west end experience :idc:

[Crimson Dynamo]

The judges and GBP love her :love:


why you backed Lauren, Nicky, is a mystery? :shrug:

[Twosugars]

Faye is likeable etc, but Lauren's journey is more meaningful. Excellent choice of a favourite, Nicky :D

[LukeB]

Ashley and Faye have way more dancing experience than Aston. Aston can dance, but is not a professional like they are.

They're not professionals. They're not ballroom and latin trained. Because if they were, they wouldn't be on the show.

What Morgan said. They would have employed Ashley as a pro but shes training different styles like everyone else, makes mistakes and gets pulled up on it, Ashley hasn’t been topping the leaderboard every week and only just got 10s and it wasn’t the first 10 of the series. Such a pro

Aston has experience and was a judge just like Ashley, also stanned Jay and Danny mac who had experience so it just seems Vanessa is only okay with it if she likes them:shrug:

Experience dancers are never going to win anymore so it doesn’t matter and shouldn’t take strictly way to seriously. I just enjoy the great and bad dances experience or not. Anyone should be able to join strictly except for old pros but thats not going to happen.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Faye is likeable etc, but Lauren's journey is more meaningful. Excellent choice of a favourite, Nicky :D

she hasnt got a "journey"

in fact she is getting worse

:umm2:

[Twosugars]

hardly, the last dance was her best ever :D

:love: :love:

[Nicky91]

the only few ringers i would root for are John Barrowman and Matthew Morrison :flutter:

if they would do strictly some year, and i can see John Barrowman doing that, he loves being the centre of attention, and i can see him being a complete showman :love:

[Vanessa]

no it's more like, there's no journey, she was at the top, and she still is at the top

Exactly. I like to see them improve. Joe and Stacey have both improved a lot.

[Vanessa]

They just don't excite me, because they can do everything. Where's the improvement?

[LukeB]

They just don't excite me, because they can do everything. Where's the improvement?

Where was Jay's and Danny's improvement :shrug:

They can't do everything otherwise they would get 10s every week. Ashley hasn't topped the leaderboard since week 2 and has been outperformed by Danny(who has experience but no one says anything) and Stacey.

the only one to have the same score is Charles:laugh:

Training everyday pays off for some:shrug:

Jay and Danny weren't as good as Ashley and Faye. Jay even struggled with ballroom. Danny's ballroom wasn't great at first also.

[LukeB]

Jay and Danny weren't as good as Ashley and Faye. Jay even struggled with ballroom. Danny's ballroom wasn't great at first also.

But they still got good scores, Danny was at the top of leaderboard for weeks. They were no improvement from any of them and it doesn't matter. Stacey has shown she just as good and can be better. It happens every year:laugh: No experience dancer is pro. Ashley and Faye have said they find it tough but they train a lot so it pulls off.

[Nicky91]

Jay and Danny weren't as good as Ashley and Faye. Jay even struggled with ballroom. Danny's ballroom wasn't great at first also.

yeah i can remember Jay's quickstep where he made that one error, which was caused because it was a too fast dance


Danny improved a lot from the first few weeks or in the semi final, final

i still think he was robbed against Ore, especially when comparing Ore's Jive to Danny's Samba, well Danny's Samba is more a dance of the series than Ore's Jive to me

[Vanessa]

Joe and Diane have latin this week. Im hoping for a paso, one of my favourite Latins.
They're also on itt tonight. So we should know theur song and dance.

[Nicky91]

i think Joe could be good at the Paso, not expecting anything of course, but it would be another good learning experience for him, for his strictly journey :)

my dad said, Obvious who is going to win, either ashley or faye

and i said, no those with dance experience never win, i gave my answer of who could win, Stacey, and yeah i really have Abbey Clancy vibes with Stacey right now

[Vanessa]

If he has the paso, I hope he has suitable music. I don't care if its not a traditional song, but it has to fit the dance.

[Nicky91]

If he has the paso, I hope he has suitable music. I don't care if its not a traditional song, but it has to fit the dance.

Kate has a tough dance in argentine tango, you got nowhere to hide with that dance, where you only have the technique to make a showstopper performance with

if you mess up, you mess up big time


i hope Joe has a suitable Paso song, traditional paso music would only make it more difficult for him i think, as same with argentine tango, traditional paso you also need the perfect shapings/lines throughout the performance, while with a normal bit of rock/pop song you can play with the theme, and get the attack through that :)

I think they will have a modern song. Diane doesn't seem to fond of traditional music for latin.

[Nicky91]

I think they will have a modern song. Diane doesn't seem to fond of traditional music for latin.

i personally think Little Mix's Power might be a good Paso song

[Nicky91]

Joe came over really lovely on ITT last night, and i am excited for his Paso to Pompeii, he's slowly becoming my 2nd fave after Lauren & AJ

i love his Chemistry with Dianne, and i think Dianne is a lovely cheerful lady :love:

[Nicky91]

again the thought of 3 of the finalist spots already being confirmed (Faye, Ashley, Stacey) puts me slightly off this series


i hope Joe can grab that last spot in the final, otherwise i will not be watching the final this year, cause i'm not interested in it, if you only got the judges/producers pets in there) :notimpressed:

I hope Joe can get to Blackpool. I would love to see him dance in that lovely big dance floor.

[Nicky91]

I think he's such a lovely guy. Very humble and he really wants to learn. Same aa Lauren really.

he has really proved himself by now, first weeks he wowed us with the faster dances, but now he has proven to us he also is pretty good in the bit slower more controlled dances :)

i think he might do a good job with the Paso, i love what Dianne said ''a paso with a modern take'' :clap2:

[Vanessa]

I think he has improved a lot and is growing in confidence. I know that they will all leave at some point. So i will just enjoy watching them for as long as they're there.

[Nicky91]

7MkFE6NPaHE

:lovedup: no dancing experience and he slays, TeamSuperduke, with the paso to beetlejuice theme for Halloween

:dance:

Nope you get to the final by public votes and you will stan them by next week. Stacey is the most improved dancer and is now one of the best (better than joe :fan:) so she deserves to be in the final

[Vanessa]

Joe is improving every week. That's what the show is all about. I like Stacey as well.

[Nicky91]

Nope you get to the final by public votes and you will stan them by next week. Stacey is the most improved dancer and is now one of the best (better than joe :fan:) so she deserves to be in the final

nope i won't support Ashley and Faye, same how you'll never support Lauren but that's ok, you have your opinion and i have mine


Stacey well i don't see her having had any previous dance experience, so at least she can be in the final ok


Joe well he can win strictly with his fanbase, but he definitely is proving to be a good dancer either :)


Lauren for me, well she tries the best she can, and it paid off in quickstep and paso, and i thought she did a lovely contemporary dedicated to her family :love:


AJ wants to win the glitterball some year, i'm sure he will get his chance at that another time, but now he is just being a good dance partner for Lauren, making sure she enjoys this strictly experience :flutter:

[Vanessa]

I can't support Ashley and Faye. They have way too much dancing experience. They get the same score every week and i find that boring.
I'm always excited to see Joe and Stacey dance.
Two people with no dancing experience, but who are working very hard and are very likable.

musical theatre is still experience, since that helps a lot getting into character and storytelling, plus their dance experience from pussycat dolls and steps helps, and combined you get 2 ringers :hehe:

This is such a tired excuse now :nono:

Ashley and Pasha: 29, 32, 35, 32, 36, 39
Faye and Giovanni: 29, 31, 36, 29, 33, 39

They're going up and down, better at some dances than others. Neither of them got the first 10 of the series. If they had that much dance experience (that let point out isn't in Ballroom and Latin) then they would have had 4 10's from week one and stayed there, but they haven't.

Honestly people are getting jealous that their faves aren't as good as Ashley and Faye. My two picks are Joe and Stacey, I love them both - but in no way are they better than Ashley and Faye in dancing.

Ashley and Faye have each only had 3 weeks at the top of the leaderboard - so how can they be these phenomenal trained dancers and not constantly Top the leaderboard.

[Nicky91]

i can relate the most to Lauren, and as for Joe i've warmed a lot to him


Graeme i more like for the comedy/entertainment, same reasons i did like Jeremy Vine and Ed Balls on strictly :)

:clap1:

A great post

everyone has been underscored at one point even faye and ashley as well :laugh: so i don’t get judges favour. Craig was accused of this last year with Alexandra Burke but he never gave her high scores all the time.

[Nicky91]

:clap1:

no i more accused him of favouring Debbie McGee, especially after his bowdown moment, after Debbeh's tango :fan:

[GoldHeart]

I dreamt Joe got elliminated :joker: , it's funny because I know he's getting to the final.

[Vanessa]

At this stage anyone could go. Let's just enjoy the dancing and let's not worry too much.
If Joe goes i will support my second favourite, who is Stacey.

[Nicky91]

If Joe goes i will support my second favourite, who is Stacey.

Joe doesn't deserve to go just yet, if anyone is on borrowed time now it's Dr Ranj, he definitely dodged the dance off last week and his samba training doesn't really look that good, i do see the samba technique but it looks like walking what he does, while in the samba you need to move those hips and i didn't quite see that in that training clip


i think him or Graeme in trouble this week

[Nicky91]

lots of ballroom this week

Ashley, Faye, Danny vs those in danger zone Graeme, Charles, Kate

tango off Kate vs Faye, an argentine one vs ballroom tango


Stacey's concept, hip hop ginger rogers :umm2: i was like wtf, that's an insult to ginger rogers to bring her iconic classy character into something like streetdance :facepalm:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think lauren and doctor fanny will be up on Sunday for sure

[Nicky91]

I think lauren and doctor fanny will be up on Sunday for sure

no, you probably didn't see Lauren's training footage, cause she looks good in training, she only now wants to polish the tiniest of details to impress the judges even more, i don't think Lauren will be in any trouble, i'm thinking she might up her game once more, and a possible score in the 30's


about Ranj i agree with you

[Vanessa]

I hope Joe can do a good paso. It's one of m6 favourite dances..

[Crimson Dynamo]

I hope Joe can do a good paso. It's one of m6 favourite dances..

I just hope Dianne wears something revealing, so we can get a good look at her topline


:fc:

[Nicky91]

I just hope Dianne wears something revealing, so we can get a good look at her topline


:fc:

a long dark dress for Dianne, was revealed on it takes two last night with Vicky gill


Faye on the other hand will wear a very sexy tango dress especially in the topline :D dark topline with a red skirt

[Vanessa]

At this stage anyone could go. Good luck to Stacey and Joe. Hope they have a good week.

[Nicky91]

Stacey's streetdance looks a bit more like contemporary to me, i agreed with panellist Rufus Hound, who said he didn't see the Popping and locking you would normally expect with streetdance and the music choice doesn't scream streetdance at all :conf:


as for opening the show prediction, i think Lauren might open the show, with the jive, and in training it looked potentially to be her best dance to date, and jives could be show openers

[Vanessa]

Stacey is injured. Omg i hope she will be ok :shocked:
At this stage we always get a shock elimination, so I'm very scared. But they all have to go at some point. The final only has 3/4people. I wish they could all stay, I've grown very fond of this lot :bawling:

[Nicky91]

Faye's gonna invent a new dance ''QuickTango'' :laugh2: training looked good, very fast but very staccato

[Nicky91]

who are we looking forward to watching tonight

i'm looking forward to

Lauren & AJ's jive, training looked good, also looking like it's gonna be a really fast jive, kicks and flicks looked neat, clean in training, so promising for tonight, could be their best dance yet

Faye & Gio's tango, i luv that blondie song, gonna be interesting to see a very fast yet staccato tango, while we usually have a bit slower tango's, but Gio loves to experiment i guess :laugh:

Joe & Dianne's Paso, although training wasn't looking good Joe not being comfortable with Paso, i am looking forward to their performance cause that is one of my favourite bastille songs

Stacey & Kevin's couple choice, interesting to see if the injury has affected the dancing from Stacey, normally this should be good but now i'm like nervous for her

[Nicky91]

exactly 3 hours and 46 minutes to go till tonight's show :dance2:

[Nicky91]

just a bit less than 2 hours to go now :dance:

[Nicky91]

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpud0KdlA4j/

here we have the group picture :)

[Nicky91]

Lauren looking cute with her hair in that tail :love:

Joe with a traditional Paso jacket :lovedup:


we got 2 injuries Stacey and Kate, only one got mentioned though on ITT Stacey's :suspect:

[Vanessa]

Joe looks gorgeous, omg :lovedup:

[hijaxers]

That was her best yet and deserved the 31 score.

[GiRTh]

Amazing. Ashley easily best dancer ever.

[Amy Jade]

Ashley was flawless!

[Denver]

Ashley was overmarked sorry

[RileyH]

Faye QUEEN

Just turned on :p

[GiRTh]

Shirley right Ashley > Faye

[RileyH]

Charles was boring

[RileyH]

Give ha 25

[RileyH]

Joe :love:

[RileyH]

screeching @ the random Mollie close ups

[Denver]

40 of axe the show

[Black Dagger]

That was ****e.

[RileyH]

That was ****e.

Shut up BITCH

[Black Dagger]

Shut up BITCH

**** OFF. It was stompy and boring and Dianne did all the work.

[Denver]

Craig is just jealous that Joe turned him down

[LukeB]

Only Stacey,Faye and Ashley were great. :love:

[RileyH]

**** OFF. It was stompy and boring and Dianne did all the work.

Well the judges didn't think so did they :fan:

[RileyH]

Voting for Our Graeme

[Black Dagger]

Well the judges didn't think so did they :fan:

Craig is the only relevant one so he clearly did.

[Vanessa]

Wow, loved that paso! I knew he had it in him. I'm so proud of him! :cheer2:

[Twosugars]

Joe was very overmarked. A 9 for that? Nah. Not when Kate got 4

I like Joe and I like Stacey but it becomes obvious more and more that they're judges' favourites.

[Barry.]

Overall a good show. Faye was the best and Ashley too. Joe was good too also Lauren did well.

[Vanessa]

Joe was very overmarked. A 9 for that? Nah. Not when Kate got 4

I like Joe and I like Stacey but it becomes obvious more and more that they're judges' favourites.

I thought he was excellent.

[Vanessa]

Diane is doing such a great job with Joe. He has improved so much in both Latin and ballroom.
And her choreography so far has been fantastic.
Both are very talented and i can't wait for their next dance.

[Nicky91]

Lauren did really well, i loved the clean, crisp kicks and flicks, and good energy from her now, also nice Shirley pointed out she didn't wobble when AJ jumped over her head

and above 30 score :cheer2: hard work paying off

[Nicky91]

That was her best yet and deserved the 31 score.

:clap1: :clap1:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I hated lauren and AJs dance, the music was terrible and it looked like a Glee scene.

Ashley and Stacey shone last night. I thought Joe looked ridiculous with his face. Faye was good but the night belonged to Asley and Stacey tbh

Good show overall and the person who left was the right decision

[Nicky91]

Good show overall and the person who left was the right decision

Lauren made the right choice, keeping her kicks and flicks small, and putting more energy in them

and her dance had good basic jive techniques, and nice skateboarding concept

i was worrying at first she would be dressed up too punk style by Vicky gill, but she looked cute, and i love the scottish inspired skirt, and aj's jacket :flutter:

i gave it again an well deserved 8/10

[Vanessa]

Joe has ballroom next week. He's excellent at ballroom, so i can't wait.

[Vanessa]

The shaping was excellent in Joe's paso and i loved the routine. His lati and ballroom have both improved so much. Stacey and Joe keep surprising me every week.

[Nicky91]

The shaping was excellent in Joe's paso and i loved the routine. His lati and ballroom have both improved so much. Stacey and Joe keep surprising me every week.

i gave Joe also an 8/10, it wasn't the perfect paso doble, but he doesn't have the perfect posture for this dance

he did the best he could, Dianne choreographed the routine really well :thumbs:

[Vanessa]

Apart from Joe, who i thought was excellent, i really liked Stacey. She's another one with no dancing experience who is improving evey week.
Poor Danny made mistakes, but the quickstep is a very hard dance.
I thought Lauren jive was decent.

[Vanessa]

i gave Joe also an 8/10, it wasn't the perfect paso doble, but he doesn't have the perfect posture for this dance

he did the best he could, Dianne choreographed the routine really well :thumbs:

For a non dancer i think he's brilliant. And he's getting better evey week. Im so excited for next week!

[Vanessa]

Ashley and Faye have way too much dancing experience for me to support them. They pick up steps like we pick up clothes, fgs :fist:
I don't mind a little dancing experience, but for me they have too much.

[Nicky91]

For a non dancer i think he's brilliant. And he's getting better evey week. Im so excited for next week!

yes same, i do hope Lauren has a ballroom now up next though, and then follow darcey's advice working on getting into character even more

and next week is that the week before blackpool :think:

[Vanessa]

yes same, i do hope Lauren has a ballroom now up next though, and then follow darcey's advice working on getting into character even more

Joe also has ballroom. I can't believe how good he is at at ballroom. He has surprised me. Im hoping for a tango or viennese waltz.
I think Lauren will also do well with ballroom.

[Vanessa]

I love aj, but i can't warm to Lauren for some reason. She seems a bit cold sometimes? But she's improving.

[joeysteele]

I think Ashley and Pasha are the strongest.

I loved Joe's Paso and Lauren's jive.
Both Joe and Lauren got my votes.

[Nicky91]

Joe also has ballroom. I can't believe how good he is at at ballroom. He has surprised me. Im hoping for a tango or viennese waltz.
I think Lauren will also do well with ballroom.

her week 1 waltz has been her only slow ballroom so far, i'm hoping for foxtrot now for Lauren (maybe a song related to remembrance day, given her relatives come from Portsmouth, which has been the place for the army when they were headed for normandy (D-day) :think:

viennese waltz should be good contrast to the paso for Joe i think, going from modern to oldschool and traditional :flutter:

[Vanessa]

I think Ashley and Pasha are the strongest.

I loved Joe's Paso and Lauren's jive.
Both Joe and Lauren got my votes.

Joe keeps surprising me every week.
What i like about him, he trains really hard and takes it seriously. But he's also learning to entertain, which is great.

[Nicky91]

this is also helpful for Joe, after strictly, he can for example do more dancing videos now

as for Dianne, what a contrast for her going from the Rev to Joe :fan:

[Denver]

I think Ashley and Pasha are the strongest.

I loved Joe's Paso and Lauren's jive.
Both Joe and Lauren got my votes.

Only because Ashley is trained in this sort of thing

[Nicky91]

Only because Ashley is trained in this sort of thing

is there evidence of this?


is she really trained in latin/ballroom dancing?


cause if true, she's like the female John Barrowman (though i would root for John if he'd ever was to do strictly just for his funny personality/character)

:o

It's also an article from the very first live show. Took you long enough to be outraged.

[Nicky91]

I mean yes it's unfair - but she's learned a Cha-Cha. It's not like she's practiced each of the dance styles.

still this is proof she wasn't a beginner at the Cha-Cha and had a great score with it, while many others struggled with the Cha-Cha

If she was that good she'd have higher than 32

[Nicky91]

judges learn from their mistakes of scoring their favourites too high too soon now it seems :fan:

Ashley won't win strictly, i think Stacey might have a real good chance at winning now

[LukeB]

still this is proof she wasn't a beginner at the Cha-Cha and had a great score with it, while many others struggled with the Cha-Cha

No one is saying she is a beginner... she has experience but doesn’t mean she already knows latin/ballroom. She trains just as hard as everyone else... you were a fan of her last week but now you are jumping on the bandwagon to dislike ‘experience’ dancers but you will like them next week. Faye and Ashley have the right to be on scd they are celebrities not dance pros. Just enjoy the dancing rather than take credit away from people because have bit of experience

[Nicky91]

:notimpressed:

the only ringer i would like on strictly as contestant would be John Barrowman as i said earlier


and i do enjoy the dancing for sure, Ashley did a divine foxtrot but it was hardly surprising, cause i knew she would be great again


i know my favourite Lauren probably won't win but she is making her family proud, and learning something new each week, this experience also can help her not to be shy, be more confident and hopefully win even more medals with the triathlon :flutter:

[Denver]

He already won the Xmas special

[Nicky91]

some who did xmas special, went on to do the main strictly show honestly :idc:

Fern Britton, but also Simon Webbe for example

[LukeB]

Ashley and Pasha have so much chemistry unlike AJ and Lauren

:laugh3: uh nice try, i happen to know a lot more about them as a couple since i daily follow them via their vlogs, and it takes two

AJ & Lauren get along really well, they both love food equally as much, and they have a good training schedule now (monday to thursday intense rehearsals, and Friday bit more relaxed training so she can save her energy for saturday night)

Poor AJ who is always smiling having to be with someone so cold. :idc:

[Twosugars]

9 to Joe? Ridiculous.

Ashley was the best, fact.
Lauren was good enough.

[Nicky91]

Poor AJ who is always smiling having to be with someone so cold. :idc:

she isn't cold :shrug:

Poor Kate, undermarked for the second week :(
Craig can shove that 4 up his ass!

[LukeB]

9 to Joe? Ridiculous.

Ashley was the best, fact.
Lauren was good enough.

Would have given him a 6.

Diane did most of the work, he was stompy and his face was annoying

[Twosugars]

must say I'm beginning to worry about the show if judges carry on favouring some people for no reason

[Crimson Dynamo]

If Charles had danced like Joe last night he would be looking like 23 tops :bored:

that said I gave Dianne a 10 for her outfit and her ample bosom and tight ass.. and well as her topline of course

[Vanessa]

I think people are getting worried about Joe getting better. He's definitely the dark horse in this competition. Coming from the outside and becoming a real contender. :hehe:

[GoldHeart]

must say I'm beginning to worry about the show if judges carry on favouring some people for no reason

That's why i never watch the main show,i find the judges cringy and tiresome :bored:.

[Nicky91]

Kate a quickstep, wedding theme :hehe: i am getting flashback to ruth & anton who went out on also a sort of wedding theme

that, and i cannot see Kate lasting much longer in the competition, she isn't improving and aljaz's fanbase isn't the only thing what gets you far


with Graeme, Charles possibly on latin again i can see either of them in the dance off, maybe Graeme, that he now had the bounce back vote with an emotional waltz, but back in dance off with a weaker latin

[Vanessa]

Kate a quickstep, wedding theme :hehe: i am getting flashback to ruth & anton who went out on also a sort of wedding theme

Kate is brilliant at ballroom. But her Latin is terrible.

[Strictly Jake]

Sad that Ranj has gone but only because my kids liked him

My favourite currently is Stacey followed by Joe and Ashley

[Nicky91]

same goes for AJ fanbase :hehe:

[Vanessa]

Omg Aston is doing the Christmas special :amazed:

[Nicky91]

same goes for AJ fanbase :hehe:

yeah but Lauren has improved more than Kate


at least Lauren has more energy now compared to her first weeks, and her ballroom well, she did a good waltz for 2 training days in week 1, and a good ballroom hold in the quickstep, no gapping


Kate well, she did a impressive tango, foxtrot but flopped with samba, rumba, and now argentine tango which was disappointing cause her having been amazing at normal tango

so Kate has been going down

[Vanessa]

I would love to see a Joe and Diane couples choice. I think it could be really special.

[Nicky91]

yeah but not this week cause then it will feel underwhelming against Ashley's couple choice (*cough* another 39 coming up)

Meh, Ashley and Faye always score the same evey week. How boring.

[LukeB]

No they don’t

[Nicky91]

she means it, they just get those 9's and 10's


but i think one of them might not make the final, what if for example in the semi final the public can decide for themselves who they want in the final and ashley/faye getting those high marks puts people off them, public votes for journey contestants like they usually do, and we get a ashley vs faye dance off :fan:

Still further than crappy Lauren

[Nicky91]

Still further than crappy Lauren

no i find it a joy watching her improve week by week, also quite surprising seeing a beginner turning into a dancer

i appreciate dame darcey's constructive criticism of wanting to see more character cause then she can be even better :hee:

they aim for some 9's now :love: which is great to keep wanting to up your game

and she wanted some appreciation for AJ's choreography since he is a bit limited compared to his previous 2 years, with her disability having to adapt to that :)

[Vanessa]

Omfg Joe is dancing to one of my favourite songs! Mmbop by Hanson! Aaaaaaaaah! :dance:

[Nicky91]

omg those producers want me to warm to Ash & Pash i guess, when they give them one of my currently favourite songs :laugh2:

Lauren has another of my favourite songs, Calum & Leona's song is so romantic, modern, smooth and it does suit a viennese waltz (one of the few current songs which suit that dance i guess :eyes: )

[Crimson Dynamo]

Kate and Lauren look like the dance-off candidates this weekend

[Nicky91]

oh well if Lauren her time to leave comes, so be it, i know she's not the most perfect dancer

when strictly started and i saw her fanbase being 10k at first i thought oh no gonna be an early boot, so to see her still in the competition at week 8 i am proud of her, for giving me some performances i want to rewatch again (quickstep, contemporary, paso, jive)

i can't be bothered anymore to stress, i am tired of that :idc:

Graeme as a fitness instructor, iconic :clap1: :clap1: i think he might not get a high score but i hope he can deliver on the fun entertainment factor :love:

[Vanessa]

Joe and Diane are on tonight itt. I will be giving them as many votes as i can thie week. I don't want to lose them. I do like Stacey as well, because i like her dancing.
But personality wise i think Joe is amazing. A very inspiring young man.
He got this far through hard work and determination. :love:

[Vanessa]

There's going to be a lindy hoppaton on week 10. I can't wait, this sounds amazing!

[Nicky91]

the dancing itself in these marathons are amazing, but this is a way for the judges to save their favourites :fan: i hope the judges mark them honestly and correctly for the lindy hoppathon

[Vanessa]

It sounds really difficult. It will need a lot of stamina. I think Joe and Lauren would do great, as they both have q lot of energy.

[Nicky91]

yes, Joe's jive and charleston was full of energy, and so was Lauren's quickstep and jive

[Vanessa]

Finally Joe has posted on Instagram, i was getting worried.
From the little snippets I've seen it's looking good. They're finding it hard and they both look exhausted. But it's going to be worth it.

[Nicky91]

samba training can be confusing, last year i thought mollie's samba training did look good and that was on the week she got eliminated with samba being her weakest dance of the 2 she did that week

[Vanessa]

samba training can be confusing, last year i thought mollie's samba training did look good and that was on the week she got eliminated with samba being her weakest dance of the 2 she did that week

He has got the bounce spot on, so I think this one could be really special. I'm expecting a really fun routine. Joe week one.

[Nicky91]

let's hope so, btw Graeme and Charles with those blonde wig when they played mmmbop last night tunes on tuesday :laugh:

[Vanessa]

let's hope so, btw Graeme and Charles with those blonde wig when they played mmmbop last night tunes on tuesday :laugh:

Excited to see fun Joe back and i think he's going to surprise everyone who think he can't do a fun dance. Has everyone forgotten that his charleston was fun and he smashed it?

[Nicky91]

i worry for Faye that Gio could outdance her with the Jive, if it's too fast and he can go really fast :omgno:

and it isn't about ''the world's fastest jive'' but being in sync throughout the dance is also crucial in this dance


Kate looked quite wooden in that one training clip we saw, in the slower dances she's good but when it goes faster she looks too wooden and clumsy, yes i think she could be in danger this week

Charles lacks a fanbase so that puts him in danger

Graeme well he goes for the comedy, and i think he might get votes for that, and people could be wanting some entertainment factor for blackpool

[Vanessa]

Joe is getting the hang of the samba. They're training everyday from 9 am to 10 pm, so they should be able to do a decent samba.
I can’t ask anymore from them. They're really pushing themselves this week.

[Nicky91]

mmmbop will get sambafied for sure, they also did that a bit with abba take a chance on me for Vick's salsa, that version also felt a bit more latin than the Original abba one

[Vanessa]

mmmbop will get sambafied for sure, they also did that a bit with abba take a chance on me for Vick's salsa, that version also felt a bit more latin than the Original abba one

I think the song is fine for a samba. They just need to use the right bits, like the chorus.

[Vanessa]

When Hanson sang it live on Dancing with the stars, it sounded amazing. So it's possible to dance to it. I just hope the singers do a good job with it.

[Nicky91]

Gio is right what he said last night, the rumba/cha cha are most difficult for female celebs

i'd like to add the viennese waltz proves difficult for male celebs, as we got 2 male celebs with that in dance off, while the female celebs so far did well with this dance


so all Lauren needs to do is trust AJ, focus on her footwork now in training, and the storytelling but i'm sure they are working on that as well, they seem to listen to constructive criticism really well

Chloe was right, we are starting to see the real Lauren more and more :love:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i can see joe getting a 24 this weekend

not a good vibe about this sat from them

[Vanessa]

I'm sure hell get more than that. They're training very long hours. At least they're trying hard.

[Vanessa]

:laugh:Danny's samba looked not that good, my dad said ''yeah but a robot doesn't have hips'' :laugh2:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i dont want them out as watching Dianne each week is a treat


:drool:

[Nicky91]

yes Dianne is very good looking, and also a talented choreographer and dancer :love:

[Morgan.]

Who?

Who?

that robotic voice who reads the tweets

[Twosugars]

this thread is so off-putting with all the stanning

[Vanessa]

Yeah, because supporting your favourite is so wrong.

[Nicky91]

looking forward to and why

for me

Ash & Pash contemporary cause it is one of my favourite songs and i want them to do that justice

Danny & Amy samba cause this can be a fun party performance

Graeme & Oti salsa, training looked great, lots of difficult techniques

Joe & Dianne samba, training looked quite good, and it has potential to be a fun performance

[Nicky91]

i so want my Swanny to make it to blackpool, him & Oti just put a smile on my face each week, and now it seems he is upping his game yet again, with complicated armography and good salsa basics :thumbs:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oti is the perfect partner for him I think

[Nicky91]

Lauren's dress looks beautiful, just saw a sketch of that on ITT last night

pink, lilac colours, i think she could look like a lovely cute princess


her training looked alright for monday's rehearsal, of course Ian had some things to say, but he said things about each of the couples (shame he gets to see the early day rehearsal clips)

her strong core should help with the shaping for the VW, the song is also good for a graceful stunning viennese waltz, i am again open for some surprises here


Kate looked far from graceful, more wooden again in training :omgno:

Good luck to Lauren and AJ as well.

Ian only mentioned head placement minor detail issues with Lauren, but this was monday's rehearsal footage, so they were probably just going through the routine

he was right to point that fleckrl cause that already looks quite good

Yes, most if them struggle early in the week. But then they get better, as they practice more.

[Vanessa]

I hope Joe and Diane aren't overdoing things. They're training everyday from 9 am to 10 pm :eek:

[Nicky91]

I hope Joe and Diane aren't overdoing things. They're training everyday from 9 am to 10 pm :eek:

that's a lot of training hours, i hope they aren't exhausted tomorrow night then :(


Lauren's training schedule now is monday to thursday 7.5 or 8 hours of training, then heading to the gym, and on Friday they have a more relaxed day with dress rehearsals, just going through the routine, trying to remember all of the correct steps, head placements, shapings

[Vanessa]

They're young, I'm sure they will be fine. :laugh:They just need a good night sleep. Stacey and Kevin train similar hours, i believe.

voting for Danny, victim of a hate campaign by the ugly rag The S*n

It's not like he has a job.

[Nicky91]

voting for Danny, victim of a hate campaign by the ugly rag The S*n

well digitalspy confirmed they had an argument after last week's show, so something did happen, and Danny more comes over for me now as a bit too arrogant if he didn't think being bottom was deserved (after those mistakes in the quickstep)

[Vanessa]

It's not like he has a job.

He does, he's a vlogger.

[Vanessa]

I will be voting like mad for Joe and Diane. In case they don't make it, my support will go to Stacey, who is my second favourite.

[Barry.]

He does, he's a vlogger.

Yes but he can do that as he danced too. It's not like he's a newsreader or doctor.

[Vanessa]

Yes but he can do that as he danced too. It's not like he's a newsreader or doctor.

Yes, but not as much now. Because they need to train as much as they can.

[Nicky91]

Joe's samba training clip, he looked good :love: Lauren also looked good in training for the viennese waltz

also liked the bit of Gethin with Lauren, AJ, Faye & Giovanni :flutter:

[Nicky91]

based on training footage i'd say

1. Ashley
2. Faye
3. Stacey
4. Lauren
5. Joe
6. Charles
7. Danny
8. Kate
9. Graeme

:think:

[Nicky91]

i think if some people vote for Charles he could still end up in the dance off, he just lacks a solid fanbase, and karen isn't that popular either so the pressure is on him now to deliver a good charleston

a good dance i can see him surviving another dance off, otherwise with a weak dance he is a goner

Anyone could go at this stage. I would love to see, Joe in Blackpool. But it just comes down to who gets the most votes. Simple as that.

Joe's samba training clip, he looked good :love: Lauren also looked good in training for the viennese waltz

also liked the bit of Gethin with Lauren, AJ, Faye & Giovanni :flutter:

Yeah, i thought Joe looked good in training. I just hope he doesn't get nervous. There's so much at stake tonight. He just needs to concentrate, he can do this.

Good luck to all the couples. I know they've all works very hard this week.
And no matter what happens, I'm always proud of what Joe and Diane have achieved.
