SCD 2019 We're Nearly There Now *NO SPOILERS*

[TheMustressMhor]

New thread for tonight's Results Show and for the Final next week.

I haven't had anything encycl - I wish the papers wouldn't speculate like this just to create a bit of prurient interest - especially when there are children involved.

Headlines like that would be horribly painful to Kelvin's missus - even when there is nothing in them - and I'd be very surprised indeed if there was. He has children - how dare people risk causing problems in his relationship just for a bit of publicity?

Completely agree @DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh - disgusting speculation!

I really want Oti to win.

I want Kelvin and Oti to win, they both deserve it. Emma is not that good, she's wobbly on her feet and I think much better dancers have gone through to the final in the past. Anton must have some sort of fandom voting to prop them up. As much as I love Amy, I hate a ringer and Karim is just that. It's been lovely to see so much of Amy though, she's finally had a decent partner after having duffers previously.

I just don't see it There's absolutely bugger all going on with Oti and Kelvin

Personally I feel sorry for Karim I think he's the best dancer but he's being pulled down by these ringer accusations

ringer accusations

They aren't accusations, they are fact, he had dedicated intensive dance lessons as part of his normal school curriculum from the age of 10 at Britains best known professional school for aspiring performer DC

I wanted Alex or Chris so now I’ll settle for Emma. Not keen on Karim or Kelvin.

Sooo while we wait a week for a spoiler free final {looks stern} how about a fantasy pro line up? All your favourite pros in one glorious series. I have

Lilia Kopilova
Karen Harding
Brenda Cole
Tristan
Robin Windsor

Who to add?

And actually if you know about dance, you can tell from the way he places his leg alone, the line he makes, that he's had years of training

Natalie Lowe and Erin and Vincent @Binglebong

@Binglebong

Artem
Ian Waite
Pasha
Artem

And Flavia.

Brian Fortuna
James Jordan
Ola Jordan
Flavia
Vincent
Erin
Natalie
Karen Harding
Brendan Cole
Pasha
Artem
Gorka

How could I forget Pasha?! Aliash and Gio too.

So many good names there. How about we ditch the celebs next year and just have all the pros dancing with each other each week.

Yy to alijaz and gio and that other Italian with the hair - name escapes me

There's too many to choose from

I forgot to share what I came across this morning - someone has been having fun with Karim's CV in the Wikipedia list of CBBC presenters

My fantasy pro list is a bit light on the blokes side... why can't I think of any more. So far I have :

Karen
Aljaz
Joe Varney
Oti
Katya
Erin
Aliona
Natalie
Gorka

Karen too. She's really grown on me this series. And she has the face of Nefertiti.

So - is anyone going to speculate on the Christmas Special?

I am underwhelmed by the thought of the actual Final nest week. I cannot get excited about Kelvin v Emma v Karim.

Nobody has really DAAAAHHHHHHHHNNNCCCCCEEEED beautifully and thrillingly this year.

A lame year altogether IMHO.

he's being pulled down by these ringer accusations

"Accusations" 😂😂 noooo, he's never danced at all. Hakuna matata.

I thought this was going to be a good series but I don't feel anything for the finalists at all. I don't care has long as it's not Karim and I don't see how he can win given he's been bottom of the public vote twice.

I've really enjoyed it! Karim has been great to watch. Loved Chris. Anton didn't come across well this series, so I'd like Oti and kelvin to win.

As an aside... Claudia looked great with red lipstick last night! So much better than her usual 'nude' colours.

It must be a bit dispiriting going into the final knowing you don't stand a chance of winning. I'd rather he won than Emma and Anton. Anyone but Anton.

What a wonderful treat that was to see Carlos Acosta dancing with the pros.
I’ve seen him dance live on many occasions and he is a tour de force. He retired from the Royal Ballet but he is still dancing with his own company. Next year he takes up the post of Director of Birmingham Royal Ballet, it will be so interesting to see what he does with them.

Who is Katya sleeping with to get all the plum solos?

Not been the best of series, however, I will support Kelvin in the Final as Oti is a goddess and I would love her to win.
Motsi has not lived up to expectation as a judge. I wish they’d chosen Karen Harding or Natalie Lowe, one of the previous Strictly professionals with proper old school dance rigour. We’ve already got Bruno for all the drama and performance comments.

Craig should be Head Judge.

Thank christ chris has gone!

There was no romantic chemistry between Chris and Karen and why should there be but I was still slightly irritated by the fact Chris couldn't hug her properly without patting on the back constantly.
Lots of you're my mate you're my mate you're my mate.
The others didn't really do that they still quite touchy-feely whether they're in relationships or not.
