Who do you want to win Strictly? SPOILER TONIGHTS RESULT

42 replies

ICouldShowYou · 01/12/2019 22:33

I know there is a thread in telly addicts, which I lurk on but just want to ask who people want to win strictly.

I really want Chris Ramsey to win. I think he’s progressed so well and I love his character too.

So I’m doing my own poll to see if I should set myself up for disappointment Grin

So... Chris, Emma, Kelvin or Karim?

Kelvin. He’s spectacular. I was furious that Craig didn’t give him a ten yesterday, he was better than Karim in my opinion.

I think that Emma might win because of the whole Anton thing though.

Letthemysterybe · 01/12/2019 22:41

What whole Anton thing?

afterme · 01/12/2019 22:43

Kelvin for me.

Interested in this thread?

Kelvin has to win. Absolutely. Karin is excellent but I just love oti. She's amazing and Kelvins first dance was for me.. The winner

I think the Anton thing is that he’s always had terrible partners and after approximately 1,002* years on the show, he’s only got a 10 this series. Plus the Nanna’s love him.

*Anton’s length of service is a rough estimate.

Kelvin would be my second. C’mon Ramsey!

I want Chris to win, but I don't think he will, I think it'll be Kelvin or Karim.

Sakura7 · 01/12/2019 23:06

Definitely Kelvin. Deserved a 40 last night IMO.

Mammyloveswine · 01/12/2019 23:58

Oh I'd love anton to win! He always has shit partners! He should retire tho and be a judge or host... he's fabulous but struggles with certain dances imo as he's clearly very classically trained!

Chris is brilliant but I think it'd be a bit unfair if he won... Karim is outstanding and I struggle to differentiate who is the professional!

Kelvin is great but I do feel he's a bit cocky and expecting to win... that's a bit bitchy but he's obv naturally talented however I don't think he's made much progress if that makes sense?

SleepingStandingUp · 02/12/2019 00:02

Karim.

Kelvin is great, but I just think Karim has much more personality in the dances.

I think the Anton thing is a genuine risk. I'm amazed how far Chris has got and I think it shows what a personality contest it is too,

RedRec · 02/12/2019 00:07

In order: Karim, Kelvin, Emma, Chris.

Oh no! I’m going to have to rope in everyone I know to vote Chris.

I don’t want Anton to win at all, because it’s all about Anton and not Emma.

Kelvin to win, I thought he deserved four tens last night!!!

ParkheadParadise · 02/12/2019 00:18

Kelvin to win for me.
I hope Karim doesn't win I can't stand him.

DramaAlpaca · 02/12/2019 00:18

Kelvin for me. He's amazing.

ittooshallpass · 02/12/2019 00:34

It's a really tough one to call this year.

I'd like Kelvin to win. From stand-in to winner is a great story.

Karim is fantastic, his jive was amazing, but he wasn't a novice when he started was he? So whilst I wouldn't mind if he won, the hardcore strictly fans won't vote for him.

Chris is a true winner... no dance experience and he's doing brilliantly. I'd be great to see him win.

I'm quite amazed Emma has got this far... I do suspect it's the Anton effect! I might be in the minority but I'm not keen on Anton. He hasn't once congratulated Emma... it's all about him when they get through! She keeps having to hug Claudia for something to do while he celebrates 'his' win.

Sofast · 02/12/2019 05:43

Kelvin to win! Hes fantastic, bloody gorgeous and I loved the story about jim and his wifes relationship. Loved him as Gaston

Emma and Anton are second for me, she has done so well and Anton is fab.

Not a fan of Karim and while I like Chris hes not nearly as good as the others

GoingToWearPantiesLikeAnElf · 02/12/2019 06:39

Out of those remaining I want them to finish in this order...
Chris
Kelv
Emma
Karim

But it won't happen. Chris's vote is in freefall and he has a rumba.
Karim has decent dances and will beat everyone except perhaps Kelvin in a DO and Chris is gone unless a mass vote on Saturday and ties on the leaderboard manage to somehow save him - he would need to be no.1 in the public vote and I think that might be Kelviteer.

I wanted The Viscountess, Michelle and Alex to make the finals so am meh!

Apolloanddaphne · 02/12/2019 06:58

Kelvin for the win. After that Karim. Emma then Chris.

NeedaDiscoNap · 02/12/2019 07:02

I would like Kelvin or Karim to win. I love Chris but it wouldn’t be fair if he won, Kelvin and Karim are both excellent dancers.

I really don’t want Emma to win - I feel like she and Anton have been given far more ballroom, and they’ve never had a song/concept that doesn’t ‘fit’ the style of dance, such as Karim in a bloody panda suit trying to do a Latin dance Grin

ExpletiveFairylighted · 02/12/2019 07:05

In this order
Kelvin - amazing natural talent
Karim - incredible progress
Emma - ditto

I have been voting for all three of them regularly

Chris - no, he should go next week, I haven't voted for him or even been tempted to once. He's done well but nowhere near as well as the others.

Fallofrain · 02/12/2019 07:11

Karim.
Kelvin started too well for me to properly root for him and far too much time has been spent with him as some sort of hunk.

Id like chris to be in the final also. Is it still a 3 person final?

IDontDrinkTea · 02/12/2019 07:16

I want Chris to win as I just love him.

I find Karim a bit frantic and scary. I can’t believe he’s got so far without doing any kind of slow dance? Poor Amy must be knackered at the pace

NoWordForFluffy · 02/12/2019 07:21

Kelvin to win and Chris / Emma in the final with him at the expense of Karim who I've not warmed to at all. He's good, but I don't feel like I've 'connected' in any way to him, IYSWIM?

IlsSortLaPlupartAuNuitMostly · 02/12/2019 07:21

I find the whole “poor Anton only ever gets geriatrics with two left feet” narrative (mostly from Anton) highly annoying, but not as annoying as I’d find it if I were Katie Derham, Patsy Palmer, Laila Rouass or Lesley Garrett.

Chris clearly wasn’t top of the voting this week, which would indicate that he can’t win, although I do wonder how much he and Alex split the Never Danced Before vote. It’s not impossible that he could inherit a fair wedge of her vote, which was obviously meaningful.

I think Karim is out of the running on vote strength, so it’s down to Emma or Kelvin. Of the two I’d rather see Oti win I think.

OverByYer · 02/12/2019 07:22

I’m team Chris as all the others have had some sort of dance training over the years especially Karim
