Anyone watching?

The two youngsters had a maturity beyond their years.

The Latin dancers were a bit out of sync. Why didn’t the young lad start with the rest?

Didn’t see the first duo - cooking food.

L&J over Brothers of Dance???? Awful result.

MissSueFlay · 29/02/2020 19:48

So each judge has an act in the final... that's worked out well, hasn't it... Hmm

xsquared · 29/02/2020 19:48

Absolutely gobsmacked that Lily and Joseph went through!

Harrison might win it given how he's survived being the lowest scorer twice.

iklboo · 29/02/2020 19:55

L & J definitely got through on the awwww factor. As cute and talented as they are I won't be happy if they win the whole thing.

DesdemonaDryEyes · 29/02/2020 20:00

L&J give me the creeps.

M&J are just stunning.

MissSueFlay · 29/02/2020 20:01

My 7yo DD has voted for L&J every week (she only gets one vote!) - my apologies! Grin

Ellmau · 29/02/2020 20:06

Generally a bit underwhelming for a semi final, apart from Michael & Jowita who are fabulous.

I thought Dancepoint reached beyond their technical ability tonight, it was all a bit end of term performance at a stage school. L&J, who I usually find sweet despite technical limitation, were boring. Hannah did one nice arabesque-pirouette but it was otherwise a gymnastic routine. Harrison's routine was a bit prancey and lacking in dance. Everyone else was just a bit dull.

iklboo · 29/02/2020 20:35

@MissSueFlay - ah she's allowed to Wink

dramalamma · 29/02/2020 21:50

I know they probably can't fix it but it does seem terribly convenient that each captain has one act in the final...... don't think I'll watch next year - too contrived now

xsquared · 29/02/2020 22:24

I think so too dramalama.

TechnicalSergeantGarp · 01/03/2020 00:21

I thought Harrison has done much better dances and got lower % scores from the audience. I think some people may have given him a cheeky vote for vaulting over Matthew at the beginning.

I don't want M+J to win. Are professional dancers? What are their jobs? They have toured with world champions and strictly professionals and been on other dance shows.

BOD were out of sync but were better than Dancepoint.

YouGoTeIIDrDreDat · 01/03/2020 01:23

I would have eliminated L+J and Dancepoint or Harrison tonight.
I liked Hannah, BoD and M+J although the latter's hair annoyed me.

TreeTopTim · 01/03/2020 08:18

Can not believe BoD went home. I had them as my winners. L&J should have gone home.

Samcro · 01/03/2020 08:19

I want M&J to win.
I got a bit bored of Hannah. do think ocean was an odd choice.

SoupDragon · 01/03/2020 09:20

I am in two minds about M&J. Yes, they are brilliant but, as a PP says, is dancing their job?

cordelia16 · 01/03/2020 10:16

Still so upset about BoD leaving. They were dynamic and exciting and original.

The BBC must think we're all idiots. So the British public just happened to vote so perfectly that we chose 1 act from each Dance Captain?? Yeah right.

I want Dancepoint to win - they have been innovative and fun to watch. Have loved them since the beginning. But I won't watch the final, as I'm sure they won't win. Nor will M&J bec I think the BBC won't want Oti to take the crown again (esp since she also won Strictly this year). It will be between Harrison and L&J.

pinksoda35 · 01/03/2020 10:24

Those damn kids are gonna win the show aren't they?
I liked BOD and am surprised they went out..for me it should have been L&J And Hannah out.
Love M&J think they are better than most of the profs on Strictly!
I preferred Harrisons tap routine.
Enjoyed this series much more than last Year( didn't even bother to watch the final)

TechnicalSergeantGarp · 01/03/2020 10:52

M+J are professional. It odd that children and young people are are competing against them. They are training full time against DC fitting in school and travel. If L&J win, that'll be why.

I looked on YouTube and their intro video said they have been professional for 5 years. They have toured with Strictly Professionals as world champions. This is an audition for them to join the strictly cast. They are amazing but I don't want them to win.

From BBC website "In 2014, they became the Polish Open Latin Champions. They've also performed on tours including Priscilla, Rock Of Ages and Legally Blonde. "We love adding the tricks and lifts into our routine as we want the audience to be wowed', adds Michael.

The duo are trained in a number of disciplines including ballroom, salsa, bachata and contemporary.*

TreeTopTim · 01/03/2020 19:47

Agree with others M&J are good but they shouldn't win because they dance for a living. It should be those who dancing is a hobby, they fit it around school, work, home life etc.

xsquared · 01/03/2020 22:07

Those saying Michael and Jowita shouldn't win because they're professionals, where do you draw the line?

AJ and Chloe Hewitt from Strictly got to the semi finals on Britain's Got Talent and they have been competing in ballroom and latin competitions before they appeared on BGT.

I personally don't think M and J will win, even though they're clearly the most competent dancers there. Oti has already won last year and also won 2019's Strictly so I don't think she'll be allowed another win.

I predict Harrison winning.

MomOfTwoGirls2 · 01/03/2020 22:31

I thought it just didn’t happen for BoD this week. They didn’t portrait the military theme. What were those red cloaks about? It sounds like they had a horrible week.
L&J had their weakest week, maybe semi final nerves. Lily was not on top form. Joseph is a gorgeous little dancer for just 8 years old. They are getting their votes from all the very young dancers who are tuning in (who persuade mom or dad to vote on their behalf).
M&J for the win. But fan base will have a big say in next weeks final.

Figgygal · 02/03/2020 21:15

Also want M&J to win they’re amazing and seem like lovely people too

Doryhunky · 02/03/2020 21:47

M and J were very lovely when dd asked to have her photo with them!

xsquared · 02/03/2020 22:53

Good to know that they're lovely people too Dory. Your lucky dd.

I want them to win but I have a feeling it will be Harrison. Even so, I suspect we'll probably see them as backing dancers on Strictly in the not so distant future.

xsquared · 06/03/2020 13:25

Just heard that Kevin has left Strictly. Do you think they'll hire Michael?
