Who do you want to win Strictly? SPOILER TONIGHTS RESULT

42 replies

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?

I love Emma - but Anton just isn't good enough any more Blush imo

Chris isn't good enough end of but I really like him

Karim - excellent. And I like him. He had such a shock after being in the dance off and I felt sad for him

Kelvin - last minute entry, Cinderella at the ball Grin - I hope he wins Smile I think he will win if it's down to him and Karim for the public to vote for

I want Chris to win, if not Karim

Samcro · 02/12/2019 07:50

Chris.
tbh not sure if he isn't getting votes. the mess up with voting on Saturday could have affected that.
It would be more unfair if Karim wins as he is a ringer.
so Chris or Kelvin for me.

Interested in this thread?

Emma or Chris.

Really dislike Kelvin and can't warm to Karim at all. It's not been a great year for Strictly. We've been to the live tour the last few years and aren't bothering this year as all the contestants have just been so "meh".

StopMakingATitOfUrselfNPissOff · 02/12/2019 07:53

Karim for me.
Then Kelvin, I love Oti but I can't warm to him.
Then Emma,
Then Chris. Whilst Chris has made great progress, he's still a bit shit and not as good a dancer as the others.

Readytogogogo · 02/12/2019 07:55

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.

Plus the whole P word debacle with Laila Rouass that seems to have been completely forgotten about...

Goldenchildsmum · 02/12/2019 07:59

Yes - Anton really did fuck up Confused

SockQueen · 02/12/2019 08:26

Chris is funny, seems a really nice guy and has made progress over the series BUT he is not in the same league as the others. I was put off Kelvin after reading on Monkseal's blog about how Brexit-y he used to be on Twitter, which shouldn't affect my opinion of his dancing but makes me think he's less of a nice guy than he puts on. Not fussed about Emma.

I know Karim is a massive ringer and I thinj Amy's frantic choreography has let him down on occasion, but I love watching him dance. So I think I want him to win.

Sammysquiz · 02/12/2019 08:27

Chris. No he’s not the best dancer, but he’s definitely the most improved which I feel is more the original ethos of the show. The others could all dance already!

MrsAgassi · 02/12/2019 08:44

Kelvin for me, I love watching him dance and Oti is incredible.

I don’t enjoy watching Karim as much, although he’s undoubtedly a very good dancer. Everything seems to be a bit frantic, even though it’s done well!

As lovely as Emma seems I just don’t particular enjoy watching her/them, I’ve found some of their dances quite dull.

Chris would be my runner up (even though they don’t announce one). Weakest dancer left in the competition, but his enthusiasm and humour make up for it. I enjoy seeing a novice that develops a love of dance.

ICouldShowYou · 02/12/2019 08:50

See Karim is a no for me - he seems very smug and he has had dance training before.

Whilst I do concede that Chris is not the best dancer, surely if you go back to week 1 and watch his first dance and then watch his dance this week his progress is the best!

I’d like Kelvin to win but Karim is also very good so I wouldn’t mind if he won. I didn’t think his jive was as great as the judges did though and certainly not the best ever jive on Strictly. I much preferred Jay McGuinness’ Pulp Fiction jive and Jill Halfpenny’s Elton John one.

Chris seems like a nice guy but I wouldn’t want him to win, he’s just not good enough. Anton is just an embarrassing joke who is being consistently outperformed and outdanced by Emma. Hopefully he will retire after this series and a pro with some empathy and teaching talent will take his place.

Yup, Anton isn't an exciting choreographer.

I'm not really familiar with Chris as a comedian, but I do think he's sold himself really well and it'll do his career wonders. He's come across as a genuinely lovely guy

ChoccyJules · 02/12/2019 09:21

As PP say, Chris has made the most progress. It depends what we are voting on.

I tend to want Kelvin to win because he’s so good and Karim always seems the out and out ringer. Chris doesn’t seem at a high enough level to win but it would be amazing if he did, as I say it depends what the masses are voting for - journey, beefcake, doddery Pro.

Emma is only there because she pulls enough faces (plus the BBC and Anton bias).

GlitchStitch · 02/12/2019 09:22

Kelvin. He's so engaging to watch and I love his partnership with Oti. Karim may be the better technical dancer but his performances leave me cold. I also don't get his partnership with Amy, there is no chemistry, it's like she's dancing with her annoying younger brother!

CoraPirbright · 02/12/2019 09:46

Kelvin all the way for me! Chris in second. Kelvin is almost as good as Karim but with no training. Always find the ringers on Strictly deeply irritating- I mean, what’s the point? Those fouette turns he did at the end of his jive take years of training to pull off so well. It’s like doing a show about passing your driving test & getting Lewis Hamilton to take part!!

skippy67 · 02/12/2019 11:22

Kelvin, but mainly because i love Oti. Don't like Chris at all!
