Who is voting for Dan Walker?

At this point he is the weakest dancer by far. And without wanting to be horrible, I find him quite full of himself. Likes the sound of his own voice.

I'm guessing he's the nans favourite...

I like Dan Walker (especially on the NFL show) but he’s long past staying in the competition.

TwinklyBranch · 07/11/2021 20:00

I don't know who is voting for Dan OR Sara!

Lipsandlashes · 07/11/2021 20:01

Everything about him is awful

xsquared · 07/11/2021 20:35

I am. He can't dance but I like his rapport with Nadiya and they're funny together.

Never seen him in anything else before and I'd already written him off as being out after a couple of weeks. That changed after his first dance.

I don't find him smug or self satisfied as some posters say. Some people seem to want to justify their dislike of him and are bitter when their favourite is in the dance off instead of Dan.

Don't worry there's no danger of him getting to the final though. Although it is mathematically possible for him to avoid the dance off until the semi finals I think AJ, John and Rose at the very least are more popular than him so will beat him in public votes.

I quite like him, and he's obviously working very hard, but dear god, time to go! No idea who is voting for him but he must have some appeal

Was worried that Sara was going to get sent home in that godawful wig 😮

I normally do, didn't this week as he talked about football.
At least he has done something to be called a celebrity.
Not just had a famous parent.

My children.

Izzy24 · 07/11/2021 20:40

Not me!

Izzy24 · 07/11/2021 20:40

Can’t understand why Shirley would have saved him 🤷‍♀️

custardbear · 07/11/2021 20:42

I'm not keen on him, he's a bit vanilla and his dancing isn't great.

StucklnAMuumuuCantGetOutOflt · 07/11/2021 20:44

Voted for him in week 1 as his QS was a pleasant surprise and voted for him week 6 as he managed to do a better lobster than Scott Mills.

KatherineSiena · 07/11/2021 20:46

I’m not. He isn’t a good dancer and should have gone this week. His dancing was far weaker than Adam’s on Saturday and Dan was very overmarked.

I find him very smug and rather holier than thou. I hope he goes next week.

PuppyMonkey · 07/11/2021 20:47

He’s popular because he’s on the telly most mornings and he’s affable and self depracating. That’ll buy him a few more weeks but he’ll come a cropper in a dance off at some point in the next week or two.

StucklnAMuumuuCantGetOutOflt · 07/11/2021 20:47

King of the road is an odd one for an American Smooth though. That said, Nadiya choreoed a lovely AS for Davood and it could still be Rhys versus Tilly next week before Dan gets the boot.

awaynboilyurheid · 07/11/2021 20:47

I liked his dance this week, thought he did well and I like his partnership with Nadia who is a brilliant dancer. I like him, he’s not as smug as Tom

SuddenArborealStop · 07/11/2021 20:49

I only know him from strictly and I don't see the appeal. However my nan 94 and my dad 76 both told me they want the lovely man from the morning show to do well even though they don't watch strictly. I assume that's his demo

NanaPorsche · 07/11/2021 20:52

I vote for Dan every week.

I just think he's a top bloke - especially the relationship he has with the gentleman who attends the war memorial in a park in Sheffield.

PuppyMonkey · 07/11/2021 20:54

Yeah but are your Nan and your dad actually voting Sudden?

FunnyInjury · 07/11/2021 20:56

I’ve been voting for him every week and will do until he’s out, even weeks I haven’t watched if I’m honest.
I might be your problem OP Grin

SuddenArborealStop · 07/11/2021 20:57

@PuppyMonkey

Yeah but are your Nan and your dad actually voting Sudden?
Oh god no but presumably some people of their type are voting. He has a fan base. Maybe not big enough to last much longer.
PuppyMonkey · 07/11/2021 20:58

There’s your explanation OP.Confused

dementedma · 07/11/2021 20:58

I do because he's not a ringer,a superfit youngster, or child/ relative of a celebrity and he is genuinely making progress.

PuppyMonkey · 07/11/2021 20:59

Funny injury I mean.

dozyjosie42 · 07/11/2021 21:02

@NanaPorsche I'm going to sound really awful again....but I honestly got so sick of hearing him tell that story about Tony from Sheffield. He constantly brought it up on the news! It was a nice story, don't get me wrong but my god they milked it! He also mentions his Kilimanjaro trip rather a lot...

I like him as he’s one of the few competitors who hasn’t come from stage school background.
I think he seems pretty genuine and is probably the most well known competitor on the show.
