Strictly '21 #12: Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by Vicky Gill

Sara: ✋

SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Previous thread

I’m mixed about Tilly. I can’t bear nepotism. But I think she’s a lovely woman. And, more to the point, she’s improving.

I think that she’d appeal to me more if she had achieved fame in a more democratic way. 🤷‍♀️

@Alcemeg

I don't understand why Katya seems so unpopular. Is it because non-single blokes keep snogging her, or looking as though they're about to?!

I will really miss her -- her choreography is always so exciting and original. She is totally fearless.

I think the suspicion this time was their downfall.

Tilly comes across as a genuinely sweet, hard-working and intelligent person! I wish I'd been half as nice as that at that age.

I'm a bit upset that Adam left. I really like Adam and have followed his career since he started.

I was not happy when he was paired with Katya and feel he could have done so much better with another partner.

I don't mind Tilly but the blatant overmarking annoys me.

Not sure what the hell Tess had on tonight but I thought it looked awful. Mind you not as awful as that monstrosity that Motsi was wearing.

Motsi’s chest in that dress as she came sauntering down the stairs… blimey!

I’m glad Tilly was saved - I actually really like her.

Katya made a mistake in the past and it's being used against her still because she's a woman.

Not sure what the hell Tess had on tonight but I thought it looked awful. Mind you not as awful as that monstrosity that Motsi was wearing.

Almost everything Tess, Motsi and Claudia ever wear is awful.

Ah goodbye Adam. He's looked uncomfortable ever since almost sort of kissgate. The routine the week after that was meant to have been cheeky and fun but in the wake of the kiss rumours it just looked in really bad taste (even more than it would have otherwise)

I've just seen the Freemans Christmas advert. It has Ola, Flavia, AJ (and possibly his brother?) and Erin.

great title polka
I'm not sure Katya has been done dirty more than say, Kristina, or Seann himself. She overeggs the routines and Adam has been stiffer than what was expected. Not sure which routine was undermarked although concede that opening the show tends to score lower. Craig has been more critical of him than the other three.
1 CCC - beggin' 30 pimp slot shows initial promise
2 QS - aygbmg 19 third on sweating like Luther Vandross
3 Rumba - i see you 20 4th to last blue man group
4 AT - titn - 32 penultimate slot style over substance - lifts
5 Samba - faith 29 death slot tight jeans sex over substance
6 VW - moonlight sonata 29 third to last appears has lost public vote
7 Jive - lbpo - 27 opening slot stompy with mistakes and always get marked lower at the top of the show

On averages, he has gone out one week early

Yes, Curtis pops up too.

@GrrrlPwr

That photo of Giovanni and Rose would be a lovely engagement photo!

I think he's totally fallen for her. But she's got her boyfriend so he can do nothing.

I reckon he's had women falling at his feet for years. Along comes rose who thinks he's slightly ridiculous and he's like bam! What happened there.

I thought the photo would make an great engagement or wedding photo. Especially as she's wearing a white flowing long dress

Not sure what the hell Tess had on tonight but I thought it looked awful. Mind you not as awful as that monstrosity that Motsi was wearing.

Tess looked like she'd gone to a fancy dress party as a Ferrero Rocher.

Quite often Motsi or Tess look like shiny confectionery wrappers

This thread has really opened my eyes to the importance of hair, clothes and make-up! I'm about Sara's age and I feel bad for her. I couldn't choose between the unfortunate Danerys-meets-Mrs Bennet look and the foul Viscose neapolitan layer frock with Kevin Keegan perm ensemble.

On the other hand, John and Johannes looked delectable in their floaty semi-sheer pyjamas (probably just as well no-one got snagged on the chair though). Their best numbers have definitely been the ones with some fabric to swish about.

I found myself really not enjoying last nights show all that much, other than AJ and Kai who saved the night for me. At the risk of sounding boring.. I really wish they would quit faffing about with props and pissing about at the start of routines. Remember back int' day when there was no props at all except for prop week!

And I agree, Motsi's result show frock was not her finest fashion moment. Although I've loved lots of her outfits this year - she usually looks great in an asymmetrical number!

Who do you predict will be in the final three? I'm thinking AJ, Rose and maybe John...

Time for Tilly to go, wish she'd gone tonight. Glad Rhys got through.

@MrsDoctorDear

I had an idea it was Adam after the Daily Fail's not so subtle hint this morning, showing pictures of Adam and Katya leaving the studio with miserable faces

Dan needs to go next.

Agree re Daily Fail. I hope they don’t do that every week.

Sara is only 37. I wish hair and costume would give her something a bit more flattering! Tonight's dress was ghastly.

Craig saying not the right couples in dance off. Did he score anyone less than Adam?

@Gooseysgirl yes, all that faaaaaffing about as Len used to say. Sara's dance was 120 secs in total, just checked on YouTube and it was 30 secs of faffing with boxes before she actually started dancing:/

I think the final three on dancing ability would be Rose, AJ and John. But if the McFly vote really is massive then it will be Rose, AJ and Tom. Still think Rose is the likely winner, as the public have taken her to their hearts. But AJ and Kai now seem to be gaining more popular momentum than they had before.

Tilly may be a lovely person but she can come across as a little smug. (If not as smug as Tom McFly). It may be the case that all her life so far she's been handed everything she ever wanted - Daddy being a squillionaire and all that. At her young age she may find it hard to understand why people aren't voting for her.

I expected Adam to be going. I think Tilly has been overmarked but in comparison to the others I don't think she was last night. She's a better dancer than Dan but he does seem to have a massive fan base.

Today 22:25 Gooseysgirl

Exactly this. I think quite a few of us are thinking same.

Don't underestimate the power of the mcfly vote and Momma G. Still annoyed at her winning I'm A Celebrity.

I don't get smugness from Tilly at all! She just seems very matter-of-fact, which might not come across well on a show that tends to encourage rushes of intense emotion.
