i am a big fan of Michelle, she was on the one show the other day and came across as a lovely person.
I like Chris best, but he won't get into the finals.
I just don't want Safron to win.

Mrsjayy · 31/10/2019 10:06

I love Michelle Visage too she is like an amazonian womanSmile

My dd has got me into Drag race Uk i was like no it's not for me now I look forward to a Thursday night!

OnlyTheTitOfTheIceberg · 31/10/2019 10:24

I have warmed to most of the competitors except Saffron. I feel bad being mean about a 19yo but I get entitlement coming off her in waves. Mind you, I'm an old gimmer who still doesn't think YouTuber is an actual job Halloween Grin

Mike was getting on my last nerve earlier on but he seems to have calmed down recently and he is obviously putting in the effort to have lost so much weight. I don't want him in the final but I'm no longer actively baying for his exit.

Chris - worst dancer left but he is improving, I love his attitude and his and Karen's non-OTT partnership. Also my DH is a Geordie so we feel family solidarity with him Halloween Grin
Emma W - Aljaz is my favourite pro so I want her to stay in for as long as possible.

Emma B - not as good as I thought she'd be but her mad eyes and over-emoting in every dance are brilliant.
Alex - lovely person, gorgeous smile, has even made me not mind Neil. She won't win but I like seeing her grow in performer confidence.
Kelvin - Oti is my favourite female pro so I'd be happy with him winning, and his dancing is good enough for a win.
Michelle - love her, didn't know her from Eve when this started (very much not a fan of drag), would happily see her win but don't think the GBP will vote for an American in sufficient numbers.
Karim - good dancer and seems harmless but the 'heart hands' thing is irritating as fuck.

Have I missed anyone now Will has gone?

Mrsjayy · 31/10/2019 10:33

I want to slap Karims heart hands away Stopit Karim although prayer hands are much much worse ! I feel the same about Saffron then I feel mean !

Watched the training vids last night, I think Chris is about to deliver his best dance. Street commercial really suits him

IHaveBrilloHair · 31/10/2019 11:39

I'm a bit stuck with Saffron!

queenjaneapprox · 31/10/2019 11:47

Where can you watch the training videos?

Encyclo · 31/10/2019 11:48

@queenjaneapprox Where can you watch the training videos?

Ian Waite does a round up on Wednesday and Thursday on ITT

queenjaneapprox · 31/10/2019 11:58

@Encyclo thank you!

Yes I thought this too, really looking forward to it, as it may well be one of the best of the night.

Although really looking forward to Michelle & Gio's Paso Halloween Grin

I don't actively dislike any of them, although one or two of the girls are still a bit, "Who?" on my radar. I've really grown to like Chris, though - I don't think he'll win, but I'd like to see him do well. My favourite sleb is Kelvin, though. He's got "Final" written all over him (you can't see it, it's covered in spray tan).

Gutted about poor Will, though. I just watched his ITT. He cried; Janette cried; Zoe cried; I held it together until Janette was drying his tears. Then I cried.

DarlingNikita · 31/10/2019 14:09

I actively dislike Chris. I really don't like that kind of 'eh, I'm a bit of a lad, burp, fart, knowwharrimean?' schtick.

I actively MASSIVELY dislike Karim's fucking heart hands. Although I adore Amy, which tempers it a bit.

I don't/can't dislike Saffron, exactly – she's too bland –but the very blandness is exasperating.

Michelle is definitely my favourite, although I'd never heard of her or watched her in anything until now (Drag Race is a mystery to me). I love her no-nonsense attitude, her commitment and how comfortable I feel when she's dancing. I didn't know about her health issues, ElspethFlashman Shock That just makes me like and respect her more.

JemimaTab · 31/10/2019 14:53

I just cannot warm to Karim - I can see he’s good, but I think it’s that he comes over as a bit try-hard and stage-schooly. I don’t like how he is always chucking those acrobat type moves into his dances (and even when he’s coming down the stairs), and all the hyperactive luvvieness. I wish he’d dial it back a bit.
I like Michelle but then I think Giovanni is a really good pro - I loved some of his dances with Faye last year.
Both Chris and Saffron sort of wash over me. I don’t know what it is, but I can never remember their dances once they’re over.

ChampooPapi · 31/10/2019 14:53

@ElspethFlashman agreed on everything you said , Michelle is such a legend

SoupDragon · 31/10/2019 15:27

Oh, you can see it. It's in big flashing lights above his head and has been there since week one 😂

Mrsjayy · 31/10/2019 16:08

I like Amy the pro dancer Karim is a nice lad despite the heart hands she deserves a nice partner after the horrific Danny John Jules ! I will never forgive him for making Amy cry

kazzaD66 · 31/10/2019 16:08

I'd like Kelvin and Oti to win. He's a good dancer and seems very unassuming and down to earth.
And, although it will never make up for it, a win may help ease the pain of Danny and Oti being robbed!

TwattingDog · 31/10/2019 18:39

There's a MN raven behind Zoe on ITT 😂

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 31/10/2019 20:34

I thought we'd got away without having Ian in costume this year, but there he was. It wasn't even a good dressing up effort, no make up or anything.

SchadenfiendeUnmortified · 31/10/2019 21:35

Ooooooh! A Raven is always a bad sign . . . . just ask Njal.

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 31/10/2019 21:40

Ah, there's my problem, @SoupDragon - I don't tend to look at his head very much... Blush

Theromanempire · 31/10/2019 21:50

Just cos I'm bored, which male and female celeb do you think has been the best dancer?

Mine are:

Danny Mac #dannywuzrobbed
Faye Tozer/Rachel Stevens

Funny how my choices were not winners Hmm

Danny Mac #dannydeffowuzrobbed
Maybe Natalie Gumede for the women.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 31/10/2019 22:05

I love rewatching Danny Mac and Harry Judd, so I think I'd pick one of them. Although Jay McGuinness's tango deserves an honourable mention.

For the women, I didn't particularly like Abbey Clancy's personality but I did love her dancing. I also like Aleesha Dixon's dancing. And Faye Tozer wasn't the best female dancer ever, but she was robbed last year and was better than the others in her year.

OnlyTheTitOfTheIceberg · 31/10/2019 22:14

I'd agree with both your choices Grouchy.
