my preferred final 3 would be

Rose, John, Dan





Rhys pls eliminated next, 3 dance offs already, next week a 4th dance off is too much hopefully another slow dance for him a rumba or foxtrot

his waltz was sooo overmarked, Shirley giving him a 10, no way that was worth a 10




messy judges comments and scores, well easy to explain, each judge has got own tastes, own opinions



regarding the dance off, i would've saved Tilly based upon the samba being a more technically difficult dance than a waltz and Tilly wasn't bad with samba, shirtless nikita made it look hotter for sure in the DO too, Rhys was not perfect as expected with a simple waltz, but a slower dance is difficult for him and his hyperactive personality (and the fake crying does not help at this point in the competition at all, only if you're called Ore Oduba you can get away with that sadly)




hope Dan got a ballroom now, i hope for the ballroom tango, but Nadiya is absolutely spot on, no matter what dance Dan gives it a 110% of commitment and that on its own is also admirable

[Nicky91]

John with the salsa, NOOOOOOOO i wanted his couples choice

good tune though from sister sledge

[joeysteele]

Oh crumbs, I dislike the Salsa so much.

Sounds like it should be food not a dance.
Samba, Salsa and American Smooth I cannot stand as dances, sorry but I've never liked them at all.

Although another thing I'd strip from Strictly is the Couple's choice.
I'd rather see the set dances please.

I guess it seems I'd near rip up the format of Strictly and re- think it.

Clearing out the judges power, would be the first thing I did.
It's bonkers to hold a dance off, where if the vote is 2-2.
A so called and very inconsistent head judge like Shirley, gets to only decide whose time is over.

Even the X Factor then went back to the public vote to decide that scenario.

I think a Charleston like the one Hrvy did would really suit Rose. The La la land inspired one. It was so good!

They will smash it, like they always do.

Yes, I do like that song myself too.

I think Vanessa, down to this last 5, they've all done good to get there.

There hasn't been one celebrity this year who I didn't like or not want to do well if they were up to it.

As I said earlier, there's pairings and dances which have hit me strongly for their interpretation and content and even power.

Rose has done some beautiful dances, really beautiful ones and the one where they did the silent segment was really thought provoking.

John and Johannes are my favourite 2nd pairing.
I think the content and power of their routines have been all through incredible.
Plus they delivered the best dance for me all series in that Pirates Paso Doble..
Awesome that was, surely it has to be part of this year's final.
It would be a travesty if it wasn't, in my view.
It was just about matched Saturday with that incredible Argentine Tango done as Craig stated the way one should be done.

Between AJ and Rhys there's little I'd choose between them at times.
They'd be my joint 3rd if it was possible.
A J has delivered strong routines and I think Rhys has been at times unfairly criticised.
I wasn't keen on Rhys at the start but have warned to his enthusiasm in the routines.
I've liked a lot of many of their routines.

Then Dan.
Admittedly not one of my favourites of who is still there after all these weeks.
However.
There's no doubt he's improved over the weeks of Strictly, and he himself would admit he wasn't the strongest of who is left.
He has entertained in his routines no doubt on that.
Which is another big element as to dancing.

So to these last 5 from what around 15.
I just wish the best to now.
They've got through, DESPITE the erratic inconsistencies of the judges comments as to their then voting.

These 5 are now the public's choice.
This series is one of the strongest ever, in my view.
So is highly enjoyable.

Only the judges wreck a part of that enjoyment for me.

However, good luck to all 5.

[Nicky91]

well i cheered so much when Dan got saved first


Dan the Man in the top 5, who could've imagined that pre-week 1

[Lewismacfarlane]

I really hope Amy stays in strictly shes very kind with her partners she's the pro I'd want if I was on the show

[Nicky91]

if i were taking part in this show, pretty sure i would be shoved by producers into the comedy contestant slot


can already my VT's me begging not to have a disastrous score of 8 like Quentin Wilson

[Nicky91]

tonights show only 55 minutes

[joeysteele]

I think maybe a strange show is likely tonight.
With the dances being done, not one I'll enjoy too much I doubt.

Anyhow, good luck to all the 5 who are in the quarter final.

[Kate!]

Didn't rate that much.

[joeysteele]

I really dislike the Salsa so much.
It's a dance, I'd never term one, just my view.

Loved the song.

[Kate!]

Rhys and John should be bottom two tonight I suspect.

[joeysteele]

Well I'm not liking this really either.
It's pretty good to be fair from Rhys but none of the intense power of last week.

[Kate!]

Rhys is gonna be overmarked again I fear.

[joeysteele]

Oh lord.
Motsi is giving me a headache.
