Sara: ✋

SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Previous thread

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!

Yep, far too much faffing abaht with props and furniture etc

Equally I hate that they keep theming the hair and make up to the music - just because Sara was dancing to a Dolly song, why did she have to be styled as her? Tilly and Nikita might have had "chess" theming to their tango but why did that mean that everything had to be black and white ... why not put her in a dramatic red dress as a contrast?

Poor Sara. She's pretty & deserves better.

Time for Tilly to go

How can it be time for her to go? Dan and Sara need to go before her. Dan should have gone weeks ago.

I agree with I hate all the fannying about at the start of dances.

Guess it's time for Tilly to go because she's irritating and not a good dancer - but I agree Dan is worse. Sick of the over-marking and praise she gets.

I like Tilly, but I like Sara better.

I'm not that fussed about Rhys or Tom, I keeps forgetting they're there.

@bonfireheart

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

Hope I can join in!

I think this exactly 👆

I'm glad Adam went - I initially was a big fan when he started but he's not progressed at all.

I bloody love this thread title.

Justice For Sara.

@EsmaCannonball

Do we think the Good Friday Agreement has survived that opening routine and The Script?

It was very Oirush

Sara seems a lot older than 37 even when not dressed as Dolly! I would have put her at 42 at least.

@Alcemeg

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.

I agree. I was fully prepared not to like Tilly ( wrong demographic, and I don't usually connect with the "yoof" competitors) but I think she is coming across as very measured and mature.

I much prefer her attitude to that of Rose with her jumping up and down and frantic-ness. Even Rhys is a bit calmer!

You forget Rhys is there?! How on earth? Tell me your secret please

The Oirish routine was missing a bicycle on the ceiling and a bag of nails on the bar.

adam definitely upped his game
so neither of them should have been in the dance off.
sara and dan are through for their personalities i think

i remember the one who left with his heart condition, said how nerve wracking it was, they learn a dance and then saturday bam, they have to perform it

I think she is coming across as very measured and mature.

I agree with this. How she handled being in the dance off was far better than many older celebrities.

Her dancing has improved immensely since the opening weeks. She's far better than Dan, Sara or Adam and way less irritating than a few others!

Tilly was ok about the dance off because she knows damn well she will be saved! The judges over mark and overpraise her every week.

I'm going to watch the results show again so I know what you are all talking about with Adam not being gushy. Definitely weird lift. Thought he might drop her.

I disagree. She's shown maturity throughout. More than many other, more experienced celebrities.

i would not call her a celebrity.

@SoupDragon maturity how ?! Which other celebs have been immature ?

I had Adam as a potential finalist at the start, as I thought his sports training mentality and dedication would see him through.

I really like Tilly, and don’t find her smug.

Giovanni certainly looked very lovingly at Rose during the chat with Claudia - has he fallen for her big time?

No, he hasn't.

@lollipoprainbow

Exactly. Didn't matter who she was up against, they'd have chosen her.

I have this theory that if there’s a lot of props and faffing at the beginning of the dance, then it won’t be a high quality dance, as the props are used to kill time, so reducing the amount of actual dancing time.
