:fc:

first same-sex partnership champion needs to happen, it just needs to happen

No i will be voting Ellie

No, Ellie

I'm hoping for an Ellie win myself.

Although I'd be happy whoever of the 3 finalists won.

It's been a really good series.

Ellie

No I’ll be voting for Ellie

I think that Layton should win so yes.

Layton has his argentine tango as fave dance, he has this in the bag :love: :love:

I'd be happy to see him win Mock.

I always admire the routines Nikita Kuzmin helps create for his partners and he and Layton have undoubtedly presented some stong, packed full of content difficult routines throughout this series.

Good luck to all of them and if Layton does win, it will be a very worthy winner of the series.

I think Ellie will win.
If Leyton want to be in with a chance he should do the Charleston or cha cha again.
Those are the only dances of his I've enjoyed.

I never vote but am not bothered who wins. I like them all and they are all really good.

If it were based on dancing ability Layton should win but I know he won't.

Ellie to win

Yes.

Absolutely, he deserves it

Nikita is a very good pro, I agree.

He knows how to play to Layton's strengths.

Certainly you won't be voting for him Nicky you said you will go for a bathroom break for all 3 of his performances so ....

and miss his argentine tango and quickstep

i wouldn't want to miss those yummy musical theatre performances :love:

He is a talented young man and I love watching them dance together. He has the skills, dancing and performing has been his life, so he has a clear advantage. On his talent he should win…but the public want to see others who have never done this before and who have grown and given everything in a short time and see them as more deserving winners.
To read today that Layton thinks the backlash is more about his skin colour and being gay will do him no favours….because that’s not what it is about.

It's a lazy argument from Layton if that is what he has said.

Just like that Emma Hayes who manages the Chelsea Women's team trying to say that people are "being racist" for not liking the fact that Lauren James did a bad tackle on an opposition player during the match against Arsenal.

Or when Antonio tried to defend Kurt Zouma's Cat Abuse by bringing up racism.

My point being that sometimes individual people can be dickheads, and the public have the right to not like them for it, it's not racist to not like an individual.

And in Layton's case I just think that he is too confident for a Reality TV audience, the average Reality TV viewer likes a more seemingly humble contestant, it's also why on TXF both Rhydian and Saara didn't win their years despite being the most talented in their years.

Just to add, has a gay person ever won Strictly?

no i don't think so?


but can't remember if this also has been the case worldwide either

oh yeah there is one, in america


Nyle DiMarco (also their first deaf winner) with Peta Murgatroyd

I wouldn't mind Layton winning he is a great dancer but would like to see Ellie win
