Strictly 2022 discussion thread

[Kate!]

Fleur. :worship: outstanding.

[hijaxers]

OMG Fleur Bravo

[Kate!]

Excellent from Helen.

My order based on the third dances

Fleur
Helen
Molly
Hamza

[Kate!]

Fleur should really win this.

[joeysteele]

Still Helen or Fleur for me.

My edge to Helen.

What will the other public do however.
Probably give it to Hamza.

[smudgie]

Helen for me, she really has come on from when she started.
Loved her last dance.

[Kate!]

Everyone should vote for Fleur or even Helen.

[joeysteele]

I'm voting Helen.

[Crimson Dynamo]

come on Fluer

[hijaxers]

I'm voting Helen.

Yes 5 for Helen 1 for Fleur.

[Kate!]

My personal choice

1st Fleur
2nd Helen
3rd Molly
4th Hamza

[Vanessa]

I think Helen has won it.
As long as it's not Hamza then I'm good.

[Kate!]

I feel the same.

[Kate!]

I loved the group performance. Class of 2022 we salute you.

[Vanessa]

I loved the group performance. Class of 2022 we salute you.

It was great to see everyone. What an amazing series.
I'll miss it :bawling:

[Denver]

The King and Queen won

[Vanessa]

Urgh, crap winner. :fist:

[joeysteele]

For crying out loud.
What a dismal end to the series.

Nice guy but by far the worst tonight.

[Kate!]

Urgh, crap winner. :fist:

:fist: utter fix.

[Parmy]

:dance:

[Kate!]

For crying out loud.
What a dismal end to the series.

Nice guy but by far the worst tonight.

I'm truly gutted.

[joeysteele]

I'm truly gutted.

It's just totally deflated the joy of the final.

It's been expected he would for weeks however.

[Kate!]

It's just totally deflated the joy of the final.

It's been expected he would for weeks however.

It's really spoiled the whole series for me. Those girls Fleur Molly and Helen must feel so robbed.

[Vanessa]

Let's see who wins at the tour.
Come on public, this is your last chance! :fist::laugh:

[Parmy]

The right person won.

His emotion and humblenes at the end was a joy to behold.

Tears were streaming down my face at that. You would have to if you went all so involved in the performances

[UserSince2005]

Black overload. What’s this ****e on bbc now?

[Kate!]

The right person won.

His emotion and humblenes at the end was a joy to behold.

Tears were streaming down my face at that. You would have to if you went all so involved in the performances

No Parm. He wasn't even in the same league as the three girls. It's supposed to be a dance contest for crying out loud. Outrageous.

[Parmy]

Black overload. What’s this ****e on bbc now?

Sexysantasausage, did you even watch that?

[UserSince2005]

Sexysantasausage, did you even watch that?

No just got back from the gym and turned on the tv and now I just have more black culture **** shoved down my throat. Really completely fed up with all this ****e.

[Parmy]

No Parm. He wasn't even in the same league as the three girls. It's supposed to be a dance contest for crying out loud. Outrageous.

Well the show should only allow dance experts to call to vote.

Dont blame me for what I enjoy.:shrug:

[Parmy]

No just got back from the gym and turned on the tv and now I just have more black culture **** shoved down my throat. Really completely fed up with all this ****e.

I voted twice for that.:bday:

[hijaxers]

It's just totally deflated the joy of the final.

It's been expected he would for weeks however.

Yeah bookies always win. He is not the real winner he danced worst tonight. totally wrong him winning... and he's still pigeon toed.

[Kate!]

Well the show should only allow dance experts to call to vote.

Dont blame me for what I enjoy.:shrug:

Aww no I don't Parm. I don't dislike Hamza as a person, he's really lovely. But for him to win was an embarrassment and an insult to the other 3 finalists imo.

[Parmy]

Yeah bookies always win. He is not the real winner he danced worst tonight. totally wrong him winning... and he's still pigeon toed.

Who said bookies only win tinsel!!!

Not tonight, that's for sure.:dance:

[Parmy]

Aww no I don't Parm. I don't dislike Hamza as a person, he's really lovely. But for him to win was an embarrassment and an insult to the other 3 finalists imo.

I said the same when liam got his glitter ball.

[hijaxers]

Who said bookies only win tinsel!!!

Not tonight, that's for sure.:dance:

Oh ok i get ya Parm,well done.

[Kate!]

I said the same when liam got his glitter ball.

:laugh:

Yes. So Fleur should have won

[Mystic Mock]

Yes. So Fleur should have won

I personally think so yes.

[GoldHeart]

Aww no I don't Parm. I don't dislike Hamza as a person, he's really lovely. But for him to win was an embarrassment and an insult to the other 3 finalists imo.

But Kate what about previous series ' when worse dancers and unlikeable people have won who never deserved it?? , yet they never got this much fuss over it .

I liked Hamza, you know i wanted Fleur or Molly to win as they were the best and i loved everything they did ... but i accepted that was never going to happen.

Yes the judges especially Shirley is a bias silly judge , but at the end of the day Hamza was voted winner by the public . And i'm pleased for him. And from what i hear .... he was really humble about the glitter ball trophy aswell :love: .

When has strictly ever been just a dance competition, it's more so a popularity contest, hence why Bill Bailey won that year or why Christopher Parker got to the final in series 1 , what about when Ricky Whittle got robbed aswell. There's plenty i could name who should have won, in previous years but never did . Alexandra Burke was also robbed IMO ... but oh well :shrug:


Over the years there's been some unlikeable yet very popular celebs that have won, who i've thought ehhh dull :conf: ... but that's how it goes.

Also certain women get harshly critiqued on strictly which isn't fair , Molly & Fleur sadly didn't have enough support . Helen is the only woman this year who had a really strong fanbase by looks of it .

Shirley should get replaced with a more fair judge , someone like Len but not as picky.

[Kate!]

Yes but it merits a fuss. I also protested when Bill Bailey won over Maisie and HRVY because they hyped him to death as well as Hamza.

[GoldHeart]

Yes but it merits a fuss. I also protested when Bill Bailey won over Maisie and HRVY because they hyped him to death as well as Hamza.

Sometimes the popularity also comes from the pro having a big fan base.

[Kate!]

Sometimes the popularity also comes from the pro having a big fan base.

Yes true.

[Nicky91]

all showdances were crap honestly, a showdance should be wildly over the top

german version does that loads better, with a movie or musicals theme and a mashup of 3 or 4 songs

Lili's showdance was to Aladdin, or Ingolf's was to Shrek to talk about some of their recent winners


as for the winner, i am happy for my dad that his fave Hamza won, i myself am happy for Jowita, i like her, she is indeed a superb addition to the pro line up (great replacement for Oti, Janette) pretty sure she'll also be kind that they know might throw a older duffer at her, i cannot see her wanting to ditch that one a la Aliona style, i think she has a gentle approach to her celeb partners (her short partnership with Adrian last years xmas show was also a nice one)



good on Vito and Carlos for anyway having made the final in their first year either, i wanna see Vito with a journey middler now i think, and Carlos good to have a king of rumba onboard :cool:


it has been a brilliant series, that eliminated couples group dance also lovely seeing everyone again, and everyone was pretty good as well, Kaye's cartwheel trick :clap2: DJ Tony Adams with another striptease :worship: Matt Goss dancing to his song :dance: :worship: glad he showed up and proved his haters wrong who thought he would throw a diva tantrum after his elimination



judges need a shake up for my liking, preferably Shirley out, telling Anton off to not only be an absolute arsekisser with only 10 score paddles, in the german version you never get high marks especially in early weeks, some are happy if they get 5's 6's and avoiding the dreaded 1's 2's


am sooooooo looking forward to lets dance on season again for me, you also have the overhyped couples there but those never win yes looking at you Janin Ullmann and Valentina Pahde


also btw @Christmas Lights/Goldheart, newsreaders aren't always boring you know, in last 2 years they had been among my faves in german version, Ulrike von der Groeben (such a charming, lovely sports news presenter) Jan Hofer (an absolute cutie of a national treasure there, and him having done the show at age of 69!!! and keeping up with most of the younger cast and having had the cutest partnership with his pro Christina, almost a ''grandfather/granddaughter'' pairing


they also had a Hamza type recently yes, in terms of full of joy personality but a lesser capable dancer as Hamza, the brazilian bundesliga top goalscorer Ailton, whom did give us a traditional brazilian salsa

as for our deaf contestant Benjamin Piwko he never got sympathy support for his disability, but more for his ability to dance so well, with emotion/passion in every dance he did (apart from the jive where he struggled with the too fast beats, yes he feels the beat of the music, same how Rose explained that kinda)




roll on lets dance christmas allstars on friday for me woooooo! :dance:

[Mystic Mock]

Black overload. What’s this ****e on bbc now?

Black Overload sounds like a name of a Boyband off The X Factor.

[Vanessa]

Fleur was great.
But the best part was the group dance.
I miss this lot already. What an amazing series!

[GoldHeart]

Hamza got lots of sympathy votes :idc:

Same could be said about Rose last year,but people still loved her :shrug: .

[Vanessa]

Same could be said about Rose last year,but people still loved her :shrug: .

Rose was a much better dancer.

[Vanessa]

Same could be said about Rose last year,but people still loved her :shrug: .

Rose was a much better dancer.

[GoldHeart]

Rose was a much better dancer.

I heard most of her dances were samey , but yeah she could dance .

[GoldHeart]

What about Bill Bailey he wasn't the best ,but he got a big following . I think people were pleasantly surprised at how quick Bill could move for his age .

And I think Hamza surprised people with his body aswell, like I said Fleur & Molly were technically the best ,and my favourites.

But I knew they never going to win. The public just didn't support them enough,which happens alot in strictly unfortunately.

[Nicky91]

Bill was great but not as great as Ingolf for me personally, and i was more pleasantly surprised about Ingolf than i was with Bill (Bill is also a musician besides a comedian so that explained his musicality too) Ingolf mainly known for stand up comedy and for being a football fan, and 62 yrs old, i mean production there thought to sabotage Ekat by giving her the oldest celeb, and they tried it again the year after with the tallest celeb and failed again when she won also for third time in a row (Pascal Hens, handball player)

Pascal is even way taller than Dan Walker for example :laugh: and he was sooooo light on his feet

[Nicky91]

https://image.gala.de/21797302/t/Y-/v6/w960/r0.6667/-/rebecca-mir-massimio-sinato.jpg

these are still a couple btw from the german version, they reached the final btw, and now they have a family together, recently a second child

Massimo Sinato with actress, model Rebecca Mir


he is a fan favourite among their pro's, more like their ''Anton'' having been in almost every series since the beginning

[Mystic Mock]

Same could be said about Rose last year,but people still loved her :shrug: .

It really could.

She just did the Disney Princess routine every week, and then Anton would cry over it.

[Vanessa]

No. Rose was a terrific dancer. Her tango/AT were incredible, she put a lot of effort in

[Mystic Mock]

No. Rose was a terrific dancer. Her tango/AT were incredible, she put a lot of effort in

She might've put effort in, but the production itself played the most lazy but successful tactics I've ever seen for a winner of Strictly imo.

[Nicky91]

She might've put effort in, but the production itself played the most lazy but successful tactics I've ever seen for a winner of Strictly imo.

what lazy tactics?


production didn't have to do much because Rose already oozes such likeability, loveable personality qualities


and in her final it was either her or the same-sex couple so that wasn't a huge surprise lol, pretty sure Rose had 99% of the public vote in that head 2 head final


whereas Nicolas & Vadim had a portion of the vote in a 3 way final over in germany, but well they were up against a popular soapstar (Valentina Pahde) and a footballing Thor hunk (Rurik Gislason) with a sad story of his mom having died recently before that series (his magic moment was basically centred around his love for him mum, with elton's circle of life song) so yeah Rurik winning wasn't a surprise, but he also was a pretty solid dancer so, that was a strong series all in all

[Vanessa]

She might've put effort in, but the production itself played the most lazy but successful tactics I've ever seen for a winner of Strictly imo.

She only had two Disney routines.
All the other dances weren't.
Her best dance was a couples choice. A contemporary.

She was very likable and I love her partnership with Giovanni.

[Vanessa]

I wonder why Gorka isn't doing the tour with Helen.
He didn't look happy in the final. :suspect:
I wouldn't want Will to dance with anyone else, so I'm happy he's doing the tour with Nancy.

Gorka is clearly full of himself,I've gone right OFF him :bored: .

He was sulking when he lost ,he should take a leaf out of Helen's book and all the other finalists,who just graciously accepted defeat.

Look how many times Fleur & Molly were in the dance off ,and they can still smile as they got to the final ..
Therefore they've already won :love: .

It's a shame, I think everyone else is doing the tour with their partners. I wouldn't want to see my favourite dance with someone else.

[GoldHeart]

He's shown his true colours ,poor Helen ditched again it seems .

You would think he'd be happy to atleast have made the final, and Helen never faced the dreaded dance off ... unlike poor Fleur & Molly . Vito & Carlos were still pleased to make the final:shrug: .

Rose just did the same dance most weeks.

It'd tend to be a slow dance while playing a Princess character, if I'm not mistaken I think she even had a Castle prop in the final.:joker:

People can say what they want about Hamza (I've definitely said my fair share) but at least he could change tempo of dance.

[Mystic Mock]

She only had two Disney routines.
All the other dances weren't.
Her best dance was a couples choice. A contemporary.

I felt that there were a few unofficial Disney routines done by Rose as well.

you cannot do the same dance though?


this isn't dancing on **** ice, where they have it so easy with the same generic routine on that stupid ice skating :idc:

[Nicky91]

christmas special begins in 4 minutes from now

[Kate!]

Watching

[Vanessa]

I love the Christmas special!

[Kate!]

Me too. Larry Lamb and Nicola Roberts :worship:

[Vanessa]

Loved that jive. Brilliant!

[Vanessa]

A fun Charleston.

[Kate!]

He'll win. He'll get the sympathy vote from the audience :idc:

[Vanessa]

Wow Nicola and Gio. That was gorgeous!:clap1:

[Vanessa]

Great quickstep.

[Kate!]

Alexandra for the win please.

[Vanessa]

Alexandra for the win please.

She was my favourite.

[Vanessa]

Yes! Great result!:dance::cheer2:

[Nicky91]

alright

Ricky & Luba: quite a stompy salsa, and outfit wise more belongs with a paso :fan: he had fun though and that is more important for a xmas special i guess but lets hope he never does a regular series :laugh: 8

Larry & Nadiya: simple, sophisticated, elegant waltz, reminded me of a ballroom top class performance at the winter gardens :clap1: 10

Rosie & Neil: not as good as Amara Pocher for my liking, but decent jive, the Pochers are much better entertainers than the Ramseys for me personally, 7

George & Amy: CONGRATS Darling, there was absolutely zero swivel content in this charleston :laugh3: a shame because most of the other charleston content looked really nice, but swivel is like the main ingredient of this dance, soo sorry not sorry but 1

Nicola & Giovanni: emotional, genuine, classy, amazing waltz 10

Alexandra & Kai: can we keep Kai always like this, sexy santa (and he kinda comes close to looking as good as Tim Allen's Santa) anyway back to the dancing, great ballroom hold, frame, very deliciously neat footwork and a fun performance to go with, divine 12 (sorry but 10 or 11 are too little for a dancing queen like you)

[Nicky91]

Bruno's singing LOL, also a song from the group of the REV Richard :flutter: ICONIQUE


Shirley dancing with Anton :lovedup:

[GoldHeart]

Alexandra for the win please.

I watched it back on YouTube, she was amazing....she should be on the main show next year :clap1: .

[Vanessa]

I watched it back on YouTube, she was amazing....she should be on the main show next year :clap1: .

Yes, her and Kai would win it.

[Nicky91]

I watched it back on YouTube, she was amazing....she should be on the main show next year :clap1: .

Yes, her and Kai would win it.

no on the main show, she won't win

another victim for 3 or 4 dance offs more likely
