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...

Does Tilly have dance training, does anyone know? She looks to me like she might have done ballet or modern.

@NativityDreaming

John definitely has dance experience, someone posted an article referring to 5 years of dance training in his early teens. There’s always at least one celeb with a dance background.
Into his teens I believe. He did ballet for about 10 years
greyinganddecaying · 08/11/2021 15:42

I've met Dan a couple of times and he's really nice - also quite a skilled interviewer, it was fascinating to watch.

I really like it when people with no dance experience do well at Strictly, it gives me a little bit of hope that if I were to try to learn to dance it wouldn't be a complete disaster! However, saying all that, I think he's one of the weaker dancers now. If it were based just on ability I'd say that he and Tilly should be in the dance-off next week.

andyoldlabour · 08/11/2021 15:57

He is a rubbish dancer and is full of himself.

I have 19 years of ‘dance experience’ and I’d still be fucked trying to dance on Strictly. Grin
the80sweregreat · 08/11/2021 16:08

I'd be voted off in the first few weeks if I tried any of these moves! 😂

Frazzled2207 · 08/11/2021 16:12

I don’t vote but he is clearly trying hard, finding it tough and a nice bloke. He’s also quite fun to watch and has a bit of chemistry with Nadia.
Reminds me of Chris Hollins a few years ago.
It’s not always about being the best dancer. Clearly it it was he’s had been booted off. I doubt he’ll last much longer though

mydogisthebest · 08/11/2021 16:19

I don't vote for him but it doesn't bother me that he is still there. People vote for different reasons for, for some, it is because they like the person and that's fair enough.

I wouldn't say he is a terrible dancer although he probably now is the worst of them but if he stays a bit longer fair enough. I would be quite happy to see Sara, Tom and Tilly go before him.

I like his partnership with Nadiya and, for me, he has more personality than Tom and Sara

PollyWobbles · 08/11/2021 16:20

I think Tilly should go next. Her lack of chemistry with her dance partner really shows and lets them down. So my shoot for next week to finish her. And then closely followed by Dan. I have no strong feelings either way about him and he seems a decent person

It'll then be the likes of Sara going allying with Tom, Rhys and AJ

Last two will be Rose/Giovanni and john / Johannes I think with Rose to win overall

I'm not a johnannes and John fan particularly. One week they dance well, the next they don't. I think Rose is the most consistent

That's my expert opinion 😀

Agree with all of this (except I'd not be happy to see Tilly go before him; I like her.)
Samcro · 08/11/2021 16:31

why are people voting for Tilly? is it because they like her dad?

IntermittentParps · 08/11/2021 16:33

I don't vote for anyone, but I like Tilly. She works hard and is enthusiastic. I think she and Nikita have a lovely partnership – sort of innocent – and I enjoy watching them.

But not that many people ARE voting, clearly, for her to land in the DO!

Samcro · 08/11/2021 16:36

but Dan works hard and is enthusiastic. he also turns up for work too.

Aquarius1234 · 08/11/2021 16:36

Not me cant stand him. Plus he never shuts up.

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

??? She would have saved Adam and Katya, not Dan.^

Adam was in the dance off with Tilly not Dan. Shirley said she'd have saved Adam after the dance off.

I’m an idiot.

(Would you believe I had my booster jab on Saturday and spent most of yesterday half asleep 😂)

EvilRingahBitch · 08/11/2021 16:57

I've slung a vote for Dan a couple of times amongst others because I like his partnership with Nadiya, he seems to be trying hard and enjoying himself and on those particular weeks I happened to want him to stay in more than I wanted Adam/Katie/Greg/Judi to stay in (I liked Judi but last week I thought it was her time to go if only so she could rest and recover).

My favourite dancer by far is AJ but she's not yet been in any danger at all of going out so I haven't wasted a vote on her.

If Dan was by far the worst dancer you'd expect him to be bottom of the leader board which he hasn't been.

hopeishere · 08/11/2021 18:28

I knew John had dance experience. He's too good for a complete beginner.

I think they really want a same sex couple to do well.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 08/11/2021 18:30

oh i liked him at the olympics, he is a nice bloke

3to4 · 08/11/2021 19:59

I find him smug and he’s a bad dancer - but he works for BBC as does Sara…

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/11/2021 20:10

We're just about halfway through — I'm still voting on who I want to see again, and it isn't always a direct correlation with how well they dance!

If you imagine giving every couple a score out of 100, for me I would say only 50 marks are for how well they dance. 10 for enthusiasm, 10 for getting on well with their partner, 10 for improvement etc. Minus points for being enthusiastic about couple's choice... Grin

PAFMO · 08/11/2021 20:13

I think he comes across as cringingly modest tbh. I think he's a genuinely decent person. He is the worst dancer though. And the things he's done for people like Tony and Terence are wonderful.

Sara "my family is everything and I'm a hardworking businesswoman" bores me. I don't think Aljash is showcasing her well at all.

As I said, I didn't want to like Tilly but I don't mind her at all. And Leonardo di Caprio Nikita is growing on me. And she's not gone for the sob story yet. Bit of a sniffle when Nan popped up on the video, but nothing like some of the others.

I think Rhys gets dissed unfairly.

John and Johannes are very good dancers but Johannes needs to stop blubbing as if he's the sleb. We've understood. You're a bloke, he's a bloke. We get it. We don't have a problem with it. Move on.

Final I think will be AJ, Rose, John. Rose has already won. Though AJ deserves to. At this stage.

Hold on, Johannes IS the celeb! I'm confused Grin

Immediately eliminated for CC. Bloody thing.
icelollycraving · 10/11/2021 08:44

I actually voted for him this week (along with AJ and Rhys). AJ is my favourite. I have changed my votes every week according to who I enjoyed watching the most that night.
I like him, he seems nice,hes improved each week. I like the fact there is no sleaziness between him and his partner.

treguffin · 10/11/2021 08:48

My dds love Tilly.

I like Sara.
