I agree Maggie.

Fenelladepompom · 21/11/2021 20:53

Hasn't Sara had an acting lesson? I agree it would help John, and a ballet lesson for Rhys to help give control and to rein it in a bit.

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit

The reality is that Dan Walker MUST have more fans than Tom. I know an avid watcher of Breakfast who LOVES him. I think he's an older ladies crumpet or something.
I'm an older lady Hmm and he's not my crumpet. However, I've voted for him because he seems like a decent man, tries hard, appreciates his good fortune and is respectful to Nadiyah. Plus his dances have been full of fun and enjoyment.

”I’d like to thank the people in front of the camera, behind the camera, the audience and the judges.''

This has absolutely nothing at all to do with the fact that my vajajay is known by the same name as the person who uttered this.

Probably.

(If I’m brutally honest it was probably a few decades before but hey ho).

😂😂😂😂

I am wondering if Rhys gets very anxious when dancing - he is SO out of breath and sort of holds his chest when he's finished. If so, the anxiety coupled with the adrenaline of dancing in front of millions must be a huge strain on him. I always think he seems like he can't wait for the judging bit to be over.

GrouchyKiwi · 21/11/2021 20:56

Thanks for new thread.

Maireas · 21/11/2021 20:58

For some reason, Sheldon, when I quote you, gold stars appear!
Highly symbolic Star

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 21/11/2021 20:58

I am also of a certain age and can assure you that nice Dan is not someone I would I would be all over like a budgie on Trill.

Doesn’t stop him being a good chap. Despite being in well past my prime, I think I would ruin his sensibilities.

And I am not feral in the slightest.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 21/11/2021 20:59

It is my adoration for you shining back at you maireas 😘😉

EdnaMole · 21/11/2021 21:07

I would love to see Rhys do a really lovely slow, controlled, calm dance to show he’s not just all bounce and go..I know he’s done a bit of this a few weeks ago but now he seems to have had several frantic dances in a row and he need to have a contrast..I’d love him to show everyone he can do more.

I wonder how tom's wife feels about amy being part of the fletcher family after this !

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 21/11/2021 21:09

@Maireas

I'm not that young either Wink but the lady I am thinking of is over a decade older than me

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 21/11/2021 21:11

I think the notion that his dances are full of enjoyment begs the question "for whom?" Grin

ApolloandDaphne · 21/11/2021 21:14

I wondered where you had all gone!

StopGoQuitStart · 21/11/2021 21:14

Sorry for jumping in without reading full thread (I will enjoy reading later love all your comments!) but I’ve just watched results and am so happy. It’s such a bitchy thing but I’m so chuffed Tom has gone. I was worried the McFly vote would keep him right to final. I’m sure he’s actually a nice guy but he is so dull and fake. I really started to dislike him (and he was ruining his books for me!!) Then Amy arrgg I’ve never taken to her. Not sure if that is controversial or not but for me she is an Uber competitive “nicey nice” person. The fake smile. Then compounded by her head down waiting for names being called tonight. I do think again she is probably lovely in real life but urrrgg she isn’t wining my vote. Sorry To go on might have had more wine than sensible for Sunday night but I’m so glad he has gone.

I felt bad for John too. I really like him. I wish he was with another pro. I love johannas as a person and a dancer he is outstanding but I don’t think he’s a great teaching pro in terms of getting best out his celebrity (although what he said to John at claud but was lovely too). I hope they go though. And AJ and Rose and Tilly. Can we face four finalist pleade

SequinsandStiIettos · 21/11/2021 21:16

I didn't know any of the ones still standing pre-series - I don't watch EE, breakfast telly, CBBC, you tube bespoke channels apart from Glitterball, and could not recall John from GBBO. I had seen AJ once on The Wheel I think the week or fortnight before launch show.
Rose is naturally very funny and sweet and good chemistry with Gio.
I am still awed by how she dances so well without hearing the music.
Dan has been lovely to and about Nadiya and has foot-in-your-mouth/Dad jokes syndrome which I find endearing.
I think, especially given his height, he does epitomise what the show is about - making a complete novice into a dancer even if he does say it himself
Rhys is like an exuberant puppy you'd feel bad kicking.
Although he lacks light and shade, he had the more complex dance tonight and deserved to stay.
Tilly has been refreshing in terms of lack of vanity and a nice lass.
She should be really proud of herself and has done really well.
John has come across as a lovely bloke and a positive role model for young gay men.
I have enjoyed watching him dance each and every week.
AJ has been very humble given how naturally good she is, seems genuinely grateful to be there and has great chemistry with Kai.
She has done some amazing routines and even those deemed not to be her dance e.g. paso and samba, I thought were better than most.

I think it will go Tilly, Rhys then Dan out, depending when Dan has salsa.

For "elderly ladies" obviously.....

Afraid. Very afraid.
Onlinedilema · 21/11/2021 21:17

I contingent people are shocked that Dan is still in. Plenty of times in strictly the winner has not been the best dancer.
I don 't care who wins. The 3 I predicted to get to the final from the very beginning are still in though 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Maireas · 21/11/2021 21:20

I would like AJ, Rose and John to be in the final. They've been consistently the best imo.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 21/11/2021 21:25

Dan’s the weakest dancer without a doubt, but he’s not half bad most of the time, and definitely improving. For that reason I don’t mind so much, him outlasting better dancers; it’s only when the likes of Ann Widdicombe cling on that I find it infuriating. Dan and Nadiya have a strong partnership, plus he seems to be working hard and isn’t content to play it for laughs. I respect him for that, even though he’s not one of my favourites.

GreenLunchBox · 21/11/2021 21:27

I feel J&J are holding back because they're a gay couple. They're probably remembering Shirley's 'tasteful' comment and that's the reason they've plateaued... I would love them to do a passionate, sexy AT but it won't happen

Runningupthecurtains · 21/11/2021 21:27

Eeek I've just seen Amy's speech if I was Mrs Tom I would change the locks ASAP. I hope they don't have a rabbit. 🐇🍲

He doesn't seem that sexual so I'm guessing she's not that bothered
ilovebrie8 · 21/11/2021 21:35

Amy likes Tom !! Her speech and tears....he’s not exactly a heart throb though 😂😂
