Bill to win

okay first of all, :rolleyes: to negativity of this weeks performances in here, i enjoyed most of them equally

secondly summarizing each couple

Jamie & Karen

dance1 (Salsa): technically it had flaws ok, but he and karen did everything they could with this hard dance, i agreed with Craig, very great disco vibes all over

dance2 (quickstep): enjoyable performance, i of course having worked on a farm liked every bit of attention of detail in the performance, fabulous

Ranvir & Giovanni

dance1 (Waltz): again it feels like watching a repeat of her VW, Foxtrot, American Smooth, and again it leaves me cold, the song was brilliant, the execution of the dance was poor and overmarked too

dance2 (Jive): now we know why they had let her avoid out of hold dances LOL, a dance disaster darling, also Giovanni u are not Massimo Sinato by far, i think Gio will never win a glitterball, let alone 3 glitterballs

Bill & Oti

dance1 (Charleston): i liked the slapstick comedy vibe, character was played to perfection, i first thought was there not many swivel but i do believe Craig to his word if there was enough swivel, overall i liked it again

dance2 (Tango): Does Metal suit a Tango, yes definitely, also love the fire/passion in this, a serious face throughout check, staccato movement yes, rock on Bill, rock on

Maisie & Gorka

dance1 (streetdance): i've seen a lot of streetdance, but this comes closest to real street out of all street/commercials from strictly so far, this was dope :clap1:

dance2 (Viennese Waltz): i liked the guitar element, clever thinking Gorka with this choreo, footwork was neat, the whole thing was elegant, classy, beautiful, i had goosebumps

HRVY & Janette

dance1 (Rumba): i disagree with the judges, i don't look at technique, but with rumba's i pay attention to storytelling (that was divine), genuine emotion (yes i also saw and felt that), the snowglobe effect was very nice for the added intimacy, was it sensual or sexy NO but i hate too sexy rumba's (yes looking at you Gio :fist:)

dance2 (Charleston): it still amazes me how you can do a fast dance in such tight trousers, love the acrobatic skills, humour, chemistry, swivel to sum it up La La Lovely :worship:

also Craig telling the audience to boo Shirley, amazing :clap1: :clap1:



Rob Brydon's ''not anton'' thing :laugh:



also nice we had bit of audience again :love:

My rankings for the Semi-final performances.

Round 1:
1. Maisie & Gorka - Street - A bit overscored imo, but still a very strong dance.
2. Bill & Oti - Charleston
3. Jamie & Karen - Salsa
4. HRVY & Janette - Rumba - I'm not very keen on Rumba's tbf.
5. Ranvir & Giovanni - Waltz - I'm sorry but it's just another lifeless dance from Ranvir imo.

Round 2:
1. HRVY & Janette - Charleston - Absolutely fantastic! Imo the dance of the night.
2. Bill & Oti - Tango - Terribly underscored imo, Shirley definitely took a pot shot at him because he danced to a Rock number as she went for Aston's Paso in his year when he danced to Smells Like Teen Spirit so we know that she's a bit dull in her Music taste imo. I also suspect that she went for Bill's Tango harshly because Craig dared to diss HRVY who's Shirley's favourite, and she decided to go for Bill knowing that Craig likes him which shows her to be quite petty.
3. Maisie & Gorka - Viennese Waltz
4. Jamie & Karen - Quickstep - It was fun, but it was nothing like a Quickstep to me.
5. Ranvir & Giovanni - Jive - Credit to her for finally doing another uptempo dance since the Cha Cha Cha, but it was quite bad imo.


Overall rankings:
1st Place - Maisie & Gorka - 8 points
2nd Place - Bill & Oti - 8 points
3rd Place - HRVY & Janette - 7 points
4th Place - Jamie & Karen - 5 points
5th Place - Ranvir & Giovanni - 2 points

Bottom Two should be imo - Ranvir vs Jamie

Imo Ranvir is clearly the weakest dancer left in the competition and the worst thing is that she's meant to be taken seriously.

Don't sound to gleeful about that fact.:laugh:

.

Hurray. Harvey and Maisie announced for the final. Brilliant news. Xx

I hope Jeanette loses I loathe her

Bill and Oti announced as finalists xx

Ranvir is out


Good

Not at all surprised Ranvir has gone , Jamie was better and Ranvir was performing to many in hold dances.

I prefer Ranvir to Jamie but anyway with him not being as popular with the public being in the bottom 2 several times he hasnt a hope of winning I reckon. Praying it will be Maisie. It would be brilliant

I hope Hrvy dances his American smooth again.
That is a dance worthy of the final.

Jamie was better in the dance off, and i think the fact that Ranvir was horrendous in Jive also played a part in who to save, who had more finalist worthy potential

i am just also soooo happy there is a final without Giovanni :cheer2: :cheer2:

Lucas MacFarlane is choreographing Hrvy showdance :dance:

I've really enjoyed this series more than any other one.
It's been a blast and it's really cheered me up in these tough times.
I will miss the show so much and good luck to all the finalists.
Hope Hrvy wins, but I'd he happy with Maise or Bill winning as well.

Tonight we will know the winner. Go on Harvey and Maisie. Xx

gonna shower early today, so i will be ready in time since it begins so early

first appearance tonight of the Queen song ''The show must go on''

yes shocking that that one hasn't been used before

It's time for the Grand Final!
