Voted Rose, Sara and Judy.

Think Dan and Katie for the dance off.

Gooseysgirl · 02/10/2021 21:01

We've given all three to Robert as I suspect he's in big danger of bottom two from public vote.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 02/10/2021 21:01

Today 20:53 xsquared

Are the judges scared 9f Gordon or something?

... something like that I imagine Smile

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 02/10/2021 21:01

DD and I voted for Rose (she impressed DD), AJ (she impressed both of us), and Nina (sympathy vote).

I could've happily flung a vote Robert and Ugo's way too though

@Simonjt

Tonight it really does seem as though people have either been marked too high or too low, it really doesn’t seem very consistent.
Exactly this.
Egghead68 · 02/10/2021 21:03

I’m going to vote for Sara, John and AJ.

I loved Sara’s dress but I suspect I’m in a minority.

EvilRingahBitch · 02/10/2021 21:03

I voted Robert, Ugo and Greg - I feel sorry for Nina but that tango really was poor and I find Neil annoying. I'd quote like Katie to go.

Dan is top half with a very memorable dance so should be safe.

mediciempire · 02/10/2021 21:03

@peachgreen

Oh right. I think she seems sweet. And she's a competent dancer so far.

Find the comments about Johannes and John a bit weird. I get that the Strictly curse is a thing etc but it feels dangerously close to the old homophobic trope of two gay men must fancy each other etc etc.

we speculate about everyone in our household. aj and kai, john and johannes, nikita and tilly and dan and nadiya. we're not going to not speculate about john and johannes just because they're gay. there are always certain couples on strictly who play up their chemistry. it's not just john and johannes who have ever been talked about, it happens every year which is why the strictly curse as a term exists.
Unsure33 · 02/10/2021 21:04

Why oh why does Neil jones annoy me so much!

Go Tilly and Judy

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 02/10/2021 21:05

Rhys
Rose
Adam

the80sweregreat · 02/10/2021 21:05

Neil is annoying !!
He is just one of those people.

herecomesthsun · 02/10/2021 21:05

Dan Ugo & Rose

EvilRingahBitch · 02/10/2021 21:06

My curseometer is tingling a bit from John and Johannes because they've got so much chemistry and they're so touchy-feely. But OTOH Johannes is like that with everybody.

Gooseysgirl · 02/10/2021 21:06

I think Ugo will be ok via public vote. Although she was fun to watch, I'm really annoyed (and a bit suspicious) at how grossly over-marked Judi was! How can a 'technical disaster' be a 25!!!

bitboredofitall · 02/10/2021 21:07

Why did they keep mentioning Gordon Ramsay? It was almost like all the "celebrities" they had dancing weren't real ones and he was the best thing they'd ever seen.

PrincessScarlett · 02/10/2021 21:07

I also find Neil Jones highly annoying!

Lampzade · 02/10/2021 21:08

@PrincessScarlett

I also find Neil Jones highly annoying!
Me too Think he may need to be benched again next year
Thecurliestwurly · 02/10/2021 21:09

Really don't know who to vote for. Will vote for Nina as she has had a samba and Argentine tango, so two very hard dances. I don't think that has been particularly fair on her.

I think Rose should stay in - she has a lot of enthusiasm and energy and would like to see her do a Charleston, same with Nina.

Think I will vote Robert for final vote, as I'm glad he did a proper dance without the comedy stuff and would like to see more of him.

Thought AJ was the best in the last two weeks, so glad she was at the top of the board.

I didn't rate Rhys tonight (he tried a bit too hard and totally eclipsed his partner) and sadly, thought Adam and Ugo wasn't so great tonight. I didn't think Katie was bad, but competition is pretty high tonight.

So I think Rose, Robert and Nina for me.

DO will be Nina v Ugo, Katie or Dan.

xsquared · 02/10/2021 21:10

Between dd, dh and I we voted for:
Dan x2
Ugo x3
Nina x1
Rob x2
Rose x1

Katie in the DO with Greg I think.

ImaBraveNhsHero · 02/10/2021 21:10

With the Gordon effect it's like when a manager's kid gets a job. They'll get plenty of money and the other managers all love them but they're annoying for everyone else.

Still, it's how the BBC has kept going since forever.

mediciempire · 02/10/2021 21:10

I voted AJ, Rhys and Nina.

user1471530109 · 02/10/2021 21:11

Greg (I bloody sobbed), Robert (I thought he was great and under scored compared to thos massive scores to tonight).and Ugo (but because I LOVE Oti)
I wanted to give a vote to Judi too. And Rose. In fact, quite a few. The second half was definitely better than the first.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 02/10/2021 21:11

No idea why Gordon keeps getting mentioned.

What exactly is he on these days?

TitsInAbsentia · 02/10/2021 21:12

@Tellmesomethinggirl

To be fair, Tilly's marks were supplemented because of the technical difficulty I think. One of the judges talked about change of pace, very difficult content, flipping over and changing from one leg to another etc.
This is where it's difficult judging a host of different dance styles all together I guess, but it's not like the dancers have a choice of what they do, I understood it was all kind of drawn.
