Thats why i vote for my favourite every week.

I definitely thought Amber was safe.
I usually vote for Lewis and Amber.

I felt sorry for George and like him too so gave all my votes to him.
Because why he was last with the judges was a mystery.

You're right, vote for your particular main favourites, take no chances.

I don't vote for George, he already has a big fan base.
I vote for Lewis because i would like to see him do all of the dances.

Every week.

Lewis a tango hopefully, to Sanctuary by Darling Violetta (Angel theme) he'd be perfect to play Angel i feel

You've got me looking forward to a Lewis dance if that happens.

No offense intended to Joey as I know that he likes Amber, but I think that people assumed that Jimmy was the one that was safe this week, but wasn't really. I know that I only gave Jimmy one vote this week for example because I thought that Karen needed my votes more.

Where as I do believe that Amber is unfairly getting penalized for "being a ringer" where as Lewis is still getting some votes.

But I suspect that Amber will be placing bottom of the public vote most weeks from here on out.

[millyrose]

I can see Amber being bottom with the public, she was on dancing on ice. Sorry to say it's not always about who is the best dancer it's more about who is more popular and liked.

[Nicky91]

Jimmy was robbed, i preferred his routine to Amber's



Amber's had far too little if any cha cha content in it



so we know it now Amber will be the finalist for the judges

[Nicky91]

Vicky dancing to one of her favourite songs next week, Total Eclipse of the Heart an american smooth


halloween is nice useful to work on those in hold skills, i'm thinking werewolves maybe, with Eclipse in the title, which basically is the moon?



Vicky's dad is also just so normal wholesome, loved seeing him and Vicky's husband in her VT this week

[Nicky91]

another upbeat dance for Ellie and Vito i think


Ellie will play a magician, and Vito will play a demon (again painted green i reckon)




maybe a charleston, to Black Magic by Little Mix

This.

It's rare to see one of the best dancers win Strictly.

I don't think her and nikita gel vey well.
Unlike Lewis and Katya, who have great chemistry dancing together.

Nikita for me definitely had stronger dynamics with Leyton and Sam over the last few years.

Lewis and Katya have couples to Creep! I love that song!

Same here.

Yes i like Lewis and Katya i also like Harry and Karen.

[Mystic Mock]

I've been kind of thinking it over on who I am most wanting to see win, and who I least want to see win plus everywhere inbetween, and my reasons for feeling the way that I feel.

Obviously this is subject to change (as Strictly does love to have late bloomers) but for me this is how I'm currently feeling going into Halloween night.

1st Place - Karen & Carlos - Contrary to Zizu's opinion, I feel like Karen is someone that I can like as she appears to have a more balanced personality, plus I have liked most of her dances up to this point.

Therefore I would like to see Karen win.


2nd Place - Harry & Karen - Tbh Jimmy would've had this spot if he was still in the competition. But I will go with Harry because I do like how energetic he is on the Show, I'll be honest I don't really love his dances though, but then that can be said for a lot of them this series.


3rd Place - La Voix & Aljaz - La Voix is a huge personality that can be quite funny to watch, they're definitely the biggest presence on this series of Strictly imo.

However I do have two reasons why La Voix isn't my favourite.

1. La Voix's dancing just isn't always necessarily to my style lol.

And 2. As it's a Reality TV Show, I do personally believe that we should be judging the person underneath the La Voix mask, rather than a character i.e La Voix.

But they're still getting third because they do make me laugh despite it being a persona.


4th Place - George & Alexis - He is mainly getting this spot for his Paso Doble performance, which I do think was a strong effort for a Week 2 dance.

But his other dances haven't really been my personal favourite so far, plus I can't read his personality very well.


5th Place - Lewis & Katya - I've always liked Katya as a professional dancer and I personally didn't mind Lewis's Paso Doble performance, and Lewis does seem like a decent guy.

But there's something also a bit missing for me with Lewis, he is just lacking that extra edge for me personally.

But he is obviously better than some people in this line-up.


6th Place - Amber & Nikita - Like with Katya I do like Nikita as a professional dancer, and I do like some of his Celebrities that he has partnered up with in recent years (Sam and Layton were both robbed) but like with Lewis there is just something a bit missing with Amber for me so far.

I can see she's technically one of the better dancers in the year, but I just can't really get passionate about Amber or her performances.


7th Place - Vicky & Kai - I don't mind Vicky, but she does have an air of desperation about her whenever she speaks.

I honestly would have her above Lewis and Amber on my rankings if she would just come across a little bit more chilled out, because she is naturally a bit more standout than them two personality wise imo.

Also I don't know how I feel about Fight For This Love being her biggest dancing contribution to the series so far.


8th Place - Balvinder & Julian - Nothing personal against Balvinder, but this partnership just doesn't standout to me in the slightest.

I can kind of see that being the reason why she's struggled in the votes.


9th Place - Alex & Johannes - I know that she's my sweepstake, but I just can't click with anything that Alex is saying or dancing really.

Her Rumba or whatever it was that Shirley was going crazy for a few weeks back, was probably Alex's best dance so far, but that's not really saying much imo.


10th Place - Ellie & Vito - I've made my feelings known on contestants like Ellie in the past, I controversially feel like they're boring contestants that should be given a Spin-off Show, because on Strictly they're unofficially immune from elimination until around the top 10 round.

And I don't like feeling that a contestant will go through regardless of their performances, personality, or any other factors.


And yes, I know how bad it looks that my bottom five were all women.

[Nicky91]

i have a completely different opinion than you Mock


i don't see Karen & Carlos lasting for much longer, and no Ellie & Vito might make it until Blackpool, i still stand by that



i see finalist material in Amber & Nikita, Lewis & Katya, Vicky & Kai, Alex & Johannes, and sad that there are only 3 final places due to Stefan's withdrawal




George & Alexis leave me cold tbh


Balvinder & Julian, are not bad but there are stronger couples, that said, i'm sure she got what it takes to give us a competent rumba this weekend

[Nicky91]

Alex is just such an wholesome celeb partner for JoJo love their chemistry, JoJo is the sweetest guy

[Nicky91]

tonight the Halloween Special, my fave of all themed weeks

[Kate!]

George and Alex is should make the final.

[Livia]

La Voix should replace Tess Daly. More personality than the rest of them rolled together.

If a trained dancer is going to win it, why bother putting in people who can't dance? Amber was in the dance off last week because people haven't warmed to her and resent that she's trained.

[Shaun]

Ellie completely devoid of any of the actual dance structure as usual and still getting 7s

Trained dancers don't usually win.

[Shaun]

Biased I know but La Voix absolutely blows the rest of the water when it comes to showmanship... that was by far the best dance of the night so far (but then the others have all been pretty poor )
