add me

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah add me. Really like her and I felt she was underscored

However as Oti said on masked dancer Fleur was a dancer before a singer so of course she will be good

[GoldHeart]

Me :wavey: ,I've always liked Fleur :).

[Kate!]

Get behind our girl this week so she's not bottom two.

[Vanessa]

Looking forward to her AT. It's my favourite dance.
Hope they have traditional music.

[Kate!]

Our girl slayed this week. Ohh la la.

[Vanessa]

Omg that was brilliant. I loved it!

[GoldHeart]

I'm looking forward to her jive :cheer2:

[Nicky91]

sad for her hitting dance off for second time now, seems to not connect well with the public i think, but luckily up against a troll act Tony so was never in any danger of leaving


her waterloo jive was good fun, cool costumes by Vicky as well

[Kate!]

Stop posting that Tony is a troll. In fact stop posting on my wall and sending me pms. I'm sick of you.

[GoldHeart]

Loved her jive :clap1: . People keep talking about Vito's wig lol . But anyway energetic routine that made me smile.

[Vanessa]

I really like her. She's so likable and a good dancer.
This year there are so many great dancers, any of them could reach the final.
I really enjoyed that jive. And lol Vito's wig :joker:

[Nicky91]

i didn't actually mean that, also did you ever like me Kate? well


and btw i like Fleur too



only ones who bore me are Will and Ellie T, and to some extent Tyler i find kinda forgettable

[Kate!]

Well if you don't mean something why do you say it? And yes I have liked you Nicky but I've had enough. You never change.

[Nicky91]

to start some drama :laugh:


i've never called Tony a troll in real life though, i don't particularly care about forums anymore


i rather watch try-hard's like Tony than those like Fleur whom you beforehand know will be good (it is a positive for Fleur) but am liking Tony's journey more, from week 1 so nervous to loosening up more and more

[Nicky91]

seems Fleur has been gaining some fans then, otherwise she would've hitted the dance off again, although Molly being below her might've been her luck


think next week though judges might mark Molly very high again, since they see her as the strongest female contestant of the year

[Nicky91]

okay, here we go

i like Fleur, i don't think she deserves that treatment from the public (idk why she is disliked so much) i liked the concept of her salsa, much better fortune teller concept than Lesley Joseph & Anton's tango in comparison


her waltz this week, well yeah back to basics beautiful waltz content, no faffing about as Len would say


Fleur is on par with Molly for me tbh, but i personally adore watching Tony, and he truly is getting better and better in terms of trying his best with the dance content


Hamza is a delight to watch, Jowita is a superb replacement for Oti, her choreo skills are really fab, and she pulls this out of a complete novice, i mean WHAT?


Vito's first year here, reminds me of Gio's first year, also having to learn a lot, strictly is completely different to Bailando con le stelle, but i think he does a good job so far with Fleur


i liked Fleur already on x factor too, and i listen to her bop Sax quite a lot




her sister looks so much like her too omg :love:

Fleur and her Sister are like twins ,both very beautiful with a lovely bubbly personality :) .

I really enjoyed Fleur's Waltz, it had such elegance and grace :clap1: .

[Vanessa]

Fleur was amazing last night. I love it when all my favourites do well!

[Vanessa]

Top of the leaderboard! Woooooooo :dance:

[GoldHeart]

:cheer2: Blackpool here she comes :cheer:.
Fleur brought carnival vibes!! ,Best dance of the night!!! .:clap1: Amazing,and I love how Vito shows her off like a work of art ,he doesn't make it about himself. Such a great partnership:love: .

[Kate!]

She could actually win. Omigosh. X

[Vanessa]

She could actually win. Omigosh. X

I would rather she won than Hamza. He does nothing for me.

[Kate!]

I would rather she won than Hamza. He does nothing for me.

He's over rated :idc:

[Vanessa]

He's over rated :idc:

Of course my favourite is Will. But I really like Fleur as well. She's pure talent.

[GoldHeart]

He's over rated :idc:

I don't think Hamza is overrated , he actually has the talent to back up the hype. And i bet people assumed just because he's a bigger build guy that he'd be clumsy and awkward, but Hamza is shaking his hips and he's really skilled on the dance floor .

We all have our fav's , but Hamza has such charisma and joy when he dances aswell .

My top 3 are always Fleur , Hamza & Molly :) .

[Vanessa]

My top three are Will, Fleur and Ellie T.
Hamza may get a 40 every week and that still wouldn't get me excited about him. He leaves me completely cold.

[Nicky91]

Queen Fleur sailing through with ease :clap1:


beyonce couples choice up next :dance: :dance: :dance:

[Nicky91]

one step closer to winning the glitterball :love:


her revenge compared to coming 2nd on **** factor

[Vanessa]

Couples choice to Beyonce. This is going to be epic!

[Vanessa]

Fleur getting a perfect score! :dance::cheer2:

[Mystic Mock]

But I want to join please.:dance:

[Nicky91]

great blackpool grand final :worship:

[Strictly Jake]

I watched her performance three times. It goes in to one of my favourite dances on strictly of all time. I might do a top 10 at some point actually

[Vanessa]

Fleur, that was FABULOUS! Last night all my favourites smashed it :dance::cheer2:

[Vanessa]

So happy that Fleur made the semifinals.
I'm rooting for her and Will.

[Vanessa]

Fleur has the paso. Should be a great dance for her.

[Mystic Mock]

Fleur has the paso. Should be a great dance for her.

On paper this should be a fantastic performance for her.

[GoldHeart]

Semi final :cheer2:.
Whatever happens Fleur is still a winner!!.

[Vanessa]

Yes, I'm so happy! :dance:

[Vanessa]

100% behind Fleur now.
I like Helen as well, but I'll be voting for Fleur now.
Let's do this! :dance:

[GoldHeart]

So happy Fleur is through to the final :cheer2: .

[Vanessa]

So happy Fleur is through to the final :cheer2: .

I would rather she or Helen won.
Not keen on Hamza and Molly.

[Crimson Dynamo]

the bbc want fluer for obvs reasons

[Mystic Mock]

the bbc want fluer for obvs reasons

What are you suggesting?:laugh:

Sadly I don't see her doing a Tony Adams and stripping off into glitter shorts.:joker:

But seriously I would like to see Fleur or Molly win, but I understand that it's realistically not going to happen.

So by default I'm gonna go for Helen, because she has been better than Hamza in the second half of the competition (minus the Samba performance that she did) plus I can't take another year where the judges patronise another winner on everyone.

Wasn't Rose a lesson to people?:joker:

[Nicky91]

if the show had better public viewers, then she wouldn't have been in any dance offs, neither would Molly


so now in the final, chanceless compared to public pets Hamza & Helen, so one of those two will win, and if it is Helen i am done with this version

[Vanessa]

Shirley is an incredibly biased judge. She only saves her favourites.
Of course this is not Fleur fault, she has my full support.

which really is a shame, because she is a great dance teacher

i mean among her students top dancers now Derek & Julianne Hough, both have been pro's on american version, both have been/are judges too, Julianne had been some years ago and Derek currently is a judge, he is quite the nice judge there, compared to Carrie Ann or Len or even Bruno can be quite harsh

Urgh, I can't stand her. The only judge talking any sense is Anton. Who knew he would be the best judge?
I think he's brilliant.

Sadly the public just aren't flexible.

People lock in who their favourite is within the first 3 to 4 weeks of the Show, and then don't be open minded to anyone else.

In this series in particular the masses didn't even give Fleur & Molly a chance, and I know that some people will argue otherwise, but the fact that I was able to call from the first week that despite their good dancing ability, they'd be low vote getters tells you everything about the public not being open minded enough to change their mind on a contestant.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Fleur & Molly deliver 10/10 dances every week, but it's clear as day that they're better dancers than Hamza & Helen, and that they've in general delivered more iconic dances to the series than Hamza & Helen.

But then again I made the same argument for John, Rhys & AJ last year over Rose, and look how that turned out.:joker:

And with the Hamza vs Helen final two it's a really bizarre situation imo because Hamza definitely started off stronger, because Helen spent the first 5 weeks in sleep mode, but in fairness I'd say that she's probably finishing her journey off stronger than Hamza as he has just been allowed to fart his way through the last few weeks.

So for me it's a draw in terms of dancing, but I do edge on wanting Helen to win because of the judges bias towards Hamza.
