When Kelvin told his dad story I was thinking "Kelvin, just shut up, just shut the fuck up right now!" Clearly, his family does practical jokes, he said his mum was in on it I think? But to others hearing that it was just cruel. I've noticed that Kelvin just seems to say things out loud that others wouldn't. To me that makes him genuinely down to earth and I still love watching him dance, despite a wicked practical joke. I adore Oti and think they make a great couple. One of the reasons for that is she has enough sense to know that despite his ability to do certain things she doesn't have him doing those things all the time. The problem with Karim and Amy is that Amy is letting him put his showstoppers into most dances and it gets dull, like having Christmas dinner every day. When he started his dance on Saturday night I was moved and looking forward to something slower and more emotional than usual and then it went all quick and staccato and I was just annoyed. I find him quite fake which is probably horribly unfair of me but I can't warm to him and I've gone off Amy this season as well.
I adore Chris and was so happy for him on Saturday that he was dancing, actually dancing. Not perfectly, obviously, but he's learned and he's putting his all into it. My guess is that Karim and Kelvin will be in the final because even if Karim is in the next two dance-offs it's unlikely that he'll go unless he really fucks up and I can't see him fucking up that badly. I'm hoping that Chris is the A.N. Other in the final.
I'm delighted that Saffron has gone. I'm evil and even though she is young and I should cut her some flack her face has annoyed me from day one and I've disliked her all along. It doesn't help that I dislike AJ as well or in fact, it did help this year because I could just be nasty and dislike the as a couple.
