Previous thread here

I think it's a pretty good QF as QFs go.

I don’t get all the dislike for Dan. I think it’s a shame he’s gone- He’s sincere, worked so hard and his partnership with Nadiya is really heartwarming.

StCharlotte · 05/12/2021 20:01

(Lovely dresses this week. For once.)

Lobster hands!

I did vote for Dan when he did the lobster dance as he'd managed to pull it off without looking like a complete twat 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree. He seems like a decent man and it's been a great partnership.

DD1 is upset, poor bean.

I liked Dan but not keen on his comments 'some people come into your life and turn a few lights on' Confused. Just say she's been a great dance partner fgs.

Having watched the dance off I think AJ has balance issues. She doesn’t look “grounded” in the faster dances and I notice she’s in the lower Latin heels (2 inch rather than 3) - I know she’s tall but that’s not what the heels are about, they’re about pitching the weight forward to allow the feet to move correctly to achieve the correct leg positions.

Not sure what she can do at this stage to rectify it but it could be her downfall.

I love AJ and am glad she’s at this stage of the competition but she seems to have really plateaued, that dance had a lot of mistakes in it and basic stuff (heavy landings, doesn’t straighten legs etc)

I had her down for final 3 but actually wonder if it might be Rhys instead of her now. She might have reached her limit

Hang on are Dan and Nadiya getting it on?

SoupDragon · 05/12/2021 20:03

I don't know why my post has a 🤷🏻‍♀️As I meant to use 😂

dementedma · 05/12/2021 20:03

AJ looked tense all the way through that. Kai needs to rein in the level of difficulty

No.
lollipoprainbow · 05/12/2021 20:03

Just can't warm to Kai and AJ knowing they are seeing each other, I can't believe she hasn't danced before either.

Really don’t think so. They just got on really well

What did he mean by that? What an odd comment.
CaliforniaDrumming · 05/12/2021 20:04

Not wanting someone who is a worse dancer to knock out a better dancer isn't dislike, surely. Someone had to go.

Maireas · 05/12/2021 20:04

@IReallyLikeCrows

Also, I don't think there's been Dan hate here. Yes, there's been some mentalists on social media who need to have a word with themselves but here it's just been that he's the least good of all the dancers for weeks now and frustration that he's still in. I don't think that anything here has been what I would call hateful at all.
Well, some of the remarks on these threads have been very unpleasant indeed.

According to the article I got spoilered on, people were sobbing about this result. Nobody should really be that invested in a light entertainment show that they actually cry because one of the contestants goes out in a regular and expected part of the competition

Was it before or after the cartwheels in different directions that you thought she had the balance issues?

As that would throw me balance wise (if I even could do the cartwheeels)

What are you talking about? What a horrible thing to say.

She said that she hasn’t danced before and I believe her
Summer15coming · 05/12/2021 20:05

There's no denying how far he's come! And also that there have been at least a few people who he really should have preceded out. But if he'd knocked out any of the ones remaining there would have been more of an outcry as they are all potential finalists (even Rhys now maybe).

Maireas · 05/12/2021 20:05

I was worried that AJ would fall and hurt herself this time! I agree with pp about her balance. She's a bit Bambi like, sometimes.

Lavanderrose · 05/12/2021 20:05

Thank goodness AJ and Kai are through, I just hope that their choreography is a little more toned down next week and more sophisticated like Rose and Gio. Because Aj & kai have to many lifts etr they don’t stand out.

Yes I agree. Surely a celeb will dance/perform better when they’re relaxed and confident?

She looked terrified all the way through that.

Aquarius1234 · 05/12/2021 20:06

Gone off Kai a bit recently.
