Rose definitely needs all the votes she can get

SequinsandStiIettos · 27/11/2021 20:08

Thought both the cc and AT were fire

Lavanderrose · 27/11/2021 20:08

Voted for Aj, Rhys & John. Hoping that Dan finally gets voted off.

Maireas · 27/11/2021 20:09

I voted for Rhys because I'm a bit worried about him and think he needs my vote. Plus a pie.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 27/11/2021 20:09

Voted for AJ, Rose, and threw Rhys a pity vote.

CounsellorTroi · 27/11/2021 20:10

Three votes for Rhys for me. He is such an emotionally open man I can’t help warming to him.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 27/11/2021 20:11

two votes for rose one for aj,
idont like a waltz and so wasnt really watching rhys,
i couldnt vote for dan or tilly or john as i wasnt impressed with them

RoyKentsHairyBack · 27/11/2021 20:12

I also didn't love this week.

All 3 votes for Rose (full disclosure 1 for her 2 for Gio) but they didn't pass my grin test this week like they usually do. I don't usually give them all 3 votes but a, I think they need them this week and b, I didn't like anyone else enough.

I liked bits of AJ, bits of John and bits of Tilly. Totally over all the crying but then I have a horror of public shows of emotion on any tv show.

Ready for Dan to go or Rhys. They both bore me - even though I can see Rhys is a good dancer I just can't warm to him at all.

Need a bit more next weeks pls chaps. And all the judges back. I quite like Cynthia but having a guest throws the balance off.

Claymorekick · 27/11/2021 20:13

Wtaf?? I am so mad at the scoring for Dan's dance - how on earth did Cynthia think it was worth 1 more point than Aj and Rose's? Confused

It was not a good dance at all Hmm

EsmaCannonball · 27/11/2021 20:15

I found AJ's CC a bit ungainly. Given that she's proved a beautiful and sophisticated ballroom dancer I feel they missed a trick by not giving her something a bit more musical theatre.

That was the first time since Week One that I was excited by John and Johannes. My only criticism is that the AT should feel improvised and organic, and at times you could see John setting up the next move.

Sorry, but I surprised myself by liking Dan doing the rumba. It just felt very natural, like a couple doing a romantic dance in a piano bar in a 1980s TV drama, like Moonlighting. Then he went and ruined it all by doing that irksome smile to the camera right at the end.

I chucked Rhys a vote because of his grandparents. Yes, I fell for it. I was pleasantly surprised by him doing a controlled, slow ballroom, too.

Samcro · 27/11/2021 20:17

Voted dan, rose and aj
Much preferred cynthia this week.

BogRollBOGOF · 27/11/2021 20:18

Rose, AJ and John tonight.
DS2 really wanted John and they are worthy finalists which cost Rhys a sympathy vote.

Random scores tonight though.

Tilly's confidence has grown massively through the series. It took a while for me to warm to her, but her whole presence has changed as the weeks have gone by.

Mogloveseggs · 27/11/2021 20:18

Just caught up. 3 votes for Rhys I thought he'd worked so hard and corrected everything he needed to.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 27/11/2021 20:21

3 votes for Rose. Working on the basis Dan is still going nowhere and Rose is in a dangerous position. Probably Tilly to go tonight which is a shame

IAAP · 27/11/2021 20:21

Just voted, AJ, Rose & Tilly (youngest loved Tilly's dance!), I loved AJ and daughter liked Rose. -So 1 each tonight. Loved J&J and like Rhys -but agreed with Craig that he wasn't leading.

ImALittlePea · 27/11/2021 20:22

I'm behind... What time does the vote close please??

Romeiswheretheheartis · 27/11/2021 20:22

Although some of the individual scores were bizarre - 9 for Dan Shock - I thought the actual final order of the leaderboard was about right, other than I'd have had AJ at the top with John second. John's footwork seemed very basic to me.

Can't agree more about Tess- I haven't yet uncringed from how she spoke to Rhys. Surely the producers must cringe too Hmm

Samcro · 27/11/2021 20:22

Inter To see that rhys waterworks worked lol
Did love j&j dance

SanFranBear · 27/11/2021 20:22

Two for Rhys and one for Tilly who did not deserve to be bottom tonight. Rhys was beautiful and yes, his hands didn't seem quite right (spatulistic, even!), but they were the most eye-catching couple for me tonight.

I was gutted there wasn't more 'sex' in John & Johannes AT tonight - I wanted it to sizzle and I honestly thought it might.. and then it didn't! They'll get through OK though.

I didn't like Aj & Kai's dance though - nothing really flowed for me. Can't believe certain judges scored less than Dan's (and I was very much loving Cynthia until this point!!)

I think it'll be Tilly & Rhys in the dance off and Tilly will go.

TomelettewithGreggs · 27/11/2021 20:23

Finding it hard to enthuse about this week, but there were some lovely dresses:
AJ's green dress
Nadiya's scarlet number
Nancy's gorgeous lavender gown
Tilly's fringes

Maireas · 27/11/2021 20:23

@ImALittlePea

I'm behind... What time does the vote close please??
In a few minutes
DontWantTheRivalry · 27/11/2021 20:23

I really liked J&J

Dan looked quite sexy but Nadiya absolutely stole the show!!

Loved AJ and Kai….I noticed he was giving her bottom a few cheeky little pats at the end of the dance which did make me wonder if there’s something going on between then…

Tilly looked so uncomfortable.

I wasn’t overly impressed with Rhys’s dance but he pulled at my heart strings. I think he’s absolutely exhausted and mentally drained by the whole thing.

I have to say that I’m worried for Rose and Gio - their performance has been very forgettable for me tonight.

EwwSprouts · 27/11/2021 20:24

Thought AJ should have been top of the leader board. Rose & Gio just the wrong song (and it was ruined). Felt John looked a bit rugby player when lifting Johannes.

Bejazzled · 27/11/2021 20:24

Still catching up…
How annoying is the booing - cut it out!!

And Cynthias scoring is ridiculous, won’t miss her.

TheMadGardener · 27/11/2021 20:27

Have caught up.

Tonight's thoughts:

  • Rose and Gio good but not their best. Couldn't see the actual footwork due to all those flashes of light.
  • Dan - I agreed with Craig that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. He didn't do much rumba but it looked scenic and I have a weakness for undone bow ties.
  • AJ and Kai should have been top this week. I'm still seething that their Charleston didn't get 40. I didn't love this as much as the Charleston but Kai gets all the points for looking super hot in that hat. AJ so brave with that jump off the table. She must really trust him.
-Rhys - Waltz wasn't bad but Nancy just irritates me now. He seems very emotionally fragile and I hope he leaves soon just because I feel uncomfortable that he might have a breakdown onscreen.
  • Tilly. Not a good samba.
  • J & J. It was all right but it didn't give me the feels somehow.

Tilly will surely be in the dance off against either Rhys or Dan (depending on whether the Dan vote holds up - I think it might this week). Tilly will probably go.

Voted for AJ.
