Strictly '21 #6: Saturday Night at the Movies, Who Cares What Dances We See?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Last thread here.

Well, we care, because we're picky like that!

The Strictly chatter continues...

Ugo is out this week 🙈 Dropping like flies..

Just saw Ugo is out bcos of an injury. This series is jinxed.

I prefer Rylan. Not keen on Janette even in Strictly.

That's a shame. Oti can't have the hat trick either.

He's only out of one show, he should be back

No, Ugo is only not dancing this weekend. Sorry, I should have made it clearer.

A Viennese waltz injury? What has she been subjecting him to?

Don’t they put them in those weird back straightening harnesses for some ballroom rehearsals?

@mydogisthebest

I prefer Rylan. Still trying to warm to Jeanette but hopefully she will grow on me. I preferred Zoe.

Jeanette is doing a good job , but I prefer Zoe and Rylan tbh

Earlier today I tried looking at Oti's Twitter account and it no longer exists. Any idea why? Has she deleted it in some kind of preparation for a backlash? She could have just set it to private, if that was the case.

Well, if he had good posture to begin with, it wouldn't have hurt. (Not actually my belief. My dance teacher however... )

Didn't somebody go headfirst into an exposed-brick walk whilst doing Viennese training and hurt themselves quite badly years ago?

"exposed-brick wall"

Blimey, nightmare for the producers this week, trying to fill the allotted time slot!

I like both rylan and janette, they are interested and empathetic interviewers. Zoe was better, but hey, here we are.

It's unfortunate that Ugo isn't dancing this week and I hope he recovers soon to continue.

I love Oti and her wins for the previous series were well deserved but I'd really like Rose or AJ to win this year.

The producers must have their fingers crossed that Ugo recovers quickly and that no-one tests positive for covid. A mid week positive would mean missing two shows and thus having to leave the competition. They have been lucky that the positives came on a Sunday so Tom and Amy only had to miss one show and had time for a few days training.
I imagine a VW injury will be a fall but given Strictlys love of a prop he could have hit by a flying hat or trampled by a (CGI) elephant 🐘

I just cannot warm to AJ.. she’s too loud, I find her really irritating 🙈 She’s very good though. I think she’ll fall foul to being female, minimal fan base & very good from the beginning. A killer.

I think it’ll be a Rose v John fight this year.. I’m actually amazed & delighted to see the love pouring in for J&J. Even reading DM comments, it’s 98.5% positive. Astonishing. He’s male, they do well on Strictly.

I just love Rose, she is brilliant. She’s funny & holds her own with Gio. & what she’s doing is remarkable..

That's odd, maybe a glitch..

This'll be a nightmare for producers having another couple pull out, albeit hopefully only for one week, but it doesn't bode well to pull out after only 3 weeks if he has a history of back issues I can't see him continuing much longer if it's causing issues now?

Do they have to pass any kind of medical to sign up for Strictly?

Surely there won't be a dance off this week now??

Oti's Insta is still there

Agree it will be Rose vs John and I predict Rose to win ( I will be happy for Gio who deserves it). AJ has no journey. I have no problem with that but clearly voters do. Tom may have a chance but we haven't seen his ballroom so hard to say.

Please not Tom 😩😂

Hope Ugo is ok. Will miss him and Oti on Saturday

Wonder how they are going to fill the 10 mins that Robert & Ugo have freed up.

The same can be said for John who was brilliant from week 1. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to steer for a first same sex couple win though.

@Bobholl - I agree AJ is such a good dancer but her voice hurts my ears - if she could be a bit quieter I would really like her. This is a personal opinion ) obviously with her job other people like her. I like John and Rose. Giggling at being hit by a CGI elephant

Don’t completely rule Rhys out, though. If he can stop being so annoying - not to mention kicking Nancy on the way up to the clauditorium - he could also be a contender
