Sarah is such a dark horse , and Vito is one of my favourite pro dancers. His choreography is always amazing .

[Nicky91]

i can dance million times better than Pete Wicks

[Nicky91]

Pete's cha cha i give the score

1500.0 of 10


masterclass one of the best dances i've ever seen on this show

[Strictly Jake]

Yes thank goodness Wynne is out!

[Nicky91]

told you so Wynne would be a gone around Blackpool


he was one of those contestants, not super competitive but more in it for the entertainment factor same as the likes of Mark Benton, Jeremy Vine, Dave Myers, Judy Murray, Graeme Swann, Tony Adams, Mike Bushell, Ed Balls



now we're deffo gonna see some shock exits i think, considering Pete is highly popular, same goes for Chris


we need to lose one more female before the final, since we always want 2 females, 2 males in the final, whenever we have 4 couples in the final


who to lose before the final out of JB, Jamie, Pete though, gonna be difficult that one, only one of those 3 can make the final, since Chris is a certain finalist

[joeysteele]

It was right that Wynne went from those 2.

It must have had Ms Ballas smouldering though when it was thought Pete would be in the bottom 2 being last on the judges leaderboard.

That's who the judges really likely wanted out then save Wynne again.
Well done to the public thwarting that.

I now doubt anyone other than Chris will likely win this series.
Sorry but he isn't my choice to at all.

Pete will win this series

he has Jowita which is a massive advantage, she even made Hamza shine


while Chris has Dianne whom tends to mess things up towards the semi final, grand final stage, and after next week they no longer have the ''Dianne's parents coming to Elstree'' storyline

I'm voting for Jamie and Michelle. My favourites.
I want them to stay for as long as possible.

I like the fact that Vito is energetic when he speaks as well.

Because we have so many people on the Show scared to show character, it's so annoying.

I think that it's also the case sadly.

I miss the days when people just voted for who they personally liked the best (for whatever reason) but the individual viewer just liked a contestant.

Now on modern Strictly it's what theme am I looking for this year, plus who do I feel sorry for, it's seriously pissing me off with the Show, and I know on Facebook there is a minority of people on there that are finally expressing how I've been feeling about Chris since his very first dance.

We need to seriously have a look at the last few winners of Strictly to notice some of the patterns that have crept into the Show.

Stacey Dooley - "It's Kevin's last year, and he deserves to win a year."

Kelvin - Admittedly he just won because women fancied him, and he was a good dancer tbf. So whilst I was a Karim fan in that particular year, I can't really complain too much with the reasoning for Kelvin's vote.

Bill Bailey - Bill ironically was my favourite in that year because I did like him and his dances, but being fair I have no doubt that some people voted for him for the "feel good factor" of seeing an older guy winning Strictly that weren't as stiff as a cardboard. So he did get the patronizing vote imo.

Rose - The patronizing tone that Rose received in her series was off the chart at the time, I honestly felt like I was one of a few people that was treating her as equal to every other contestant, and would mark her performances based on actual merit.

A really insufferable year because of Rose being on the Show, and it weren't even because of anything that she actually did, but instead the public and the judges inability to treat contestants with disabilities as actual people and not in a positive discriminatory manner.

Chris's journey does remind me so much of Rose, that's why I think that we're going to have the same tragic outcome all over again.

Hamza - It felt to me like people were again patronizing Hamza because he was slightly chubby (with all due respect to Hamza) and again he moved better than most people of his size, again another patronizing reason to support someone.

Ellie - I personally weren't keen on Ellie last year, but tbf she didn't have a sympathy/patronizing vote going on from what I can remember about her journey.

She did have a habit of behaving and talking like a 12 year old though, which I weren't keen on.

And potentially Chris, who on this very thread has had people be "positive" with patronizing comments about how Chris "can move well for a blind guy" and I know that people will either:

1. Deny what I'm saying.

Or 2. Talk about how "well intentioned they are being" which I have no doubt about that particular part, because people on here in general are nice people.

Excluding myself obviously, as I won't arrogantly state myself as a good person ever.

I thought Jamie's jive was really entertaining.

You're backing a good one Vanessa.

[Nicky91]

what i would like to see Trio Dances honestly


that is a lot of fun



and for the semi final i'd want not two, but three performances tbh, like in the german version, a longer show

with the Impro Dance Even More Extreme *insert scary dramatic music* which basically is the couples doing a draw with golden balls, whatever you draw you got 2 minutes time to prepare, change outfits think of a simple choreo, another 30 seconds to explain this to his/her celebrity partner

i always LOVE that in the german version, also the way our fabulous hosts Daniel & Victoria hype that in the weeks leading up to the semi





-----
but am already happy with the return of a danceathon, samba is a good choice for this i think

[Vanessa]

OMFG Jamie is dancing to Stand by me! This is going to en so emotional for me. This song has so much meaning for me

[Nicky91]

Pete Wicks & Jowita Przystal Tango to Easy Lover by Philip Bailey & Phil Collins



only one i am looking forward to this week



not looking forward to all those other depressing snoozefests

[Nicky91]

hoping for a very filthy tango to do teamsexbomb justice

[Benjamin]

Nobody watching this today?

[joeysteele]

This has been the poorest show yet.
The music mostly dire apart from Stand By Me.
The judges seem to be watching some programme different to me.

Haven't enjoyed this at all tonight unfortunately.

[Benjamin]

Yeah the songs choices have been questionable at best.

[Vanessa]

Yes I'm watching. Just a bit tired.

[Kazanne]

Tashi is amazing, think Jamie was underscored and Shirley definitely has her faves.

Shirley is a joke. A 9 for Chris and a 7 for Jamie beautiful Foxtrot?
And how is he supposed to go mad with a Foxtrot?

A 7 really? That was a beautiful Foxtrot.
A 9 for that paso?

[Vanessa]

Time for the sambathon
