I said before in the previous thread about Jayde, someone replied she is an outstanding dancer according to Shirley, with a lot of sarcasm! I can't believe she scored higher than Kym!

Voted for Helen, Ellie S and Hamza but now wished I'd voted for Will.

mydogisthebest · 22/10/2022 20:51

Shame we can't vote for who we want to leave. I would be voting as much as I could for Jayde.

I actually shouted "Fuck off Motsi" when she uttered those ridiculous words about Jayde being one of the best there! She is utterly useless. Tony is the only one on a par with her but at least he is entertaining to watch. She certainly isn't.

I honestly think she is not getting great public support and the producers or whoever want her to stay so the judges just talk crap about her and score her far too high. I don't think she deserved more than a 3 or possibly 4

It was beyond me, how Ballroom Blitz was supposed to be the theme tune for the black and white Come Dancing? It just felt totally incongruous!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 22/10/2022 20:51

yes to Angela Rippon, replacing Shirley
Shirley was not popular with her scores with the audience

EsmaCannonball · 22/10/2022 20:52

The campaign to replace Tess with Angela Rippon starts here.

Aside from Tony and Kym, I thought every single routine was absolutely sunk by the BBC theme. Even then, Kym's routine did not remind me of Come Dancing.

Graziano looks amazing with short hair and that tail-suit.

Tony Adams is still making me howl. It's like the Michael Vaughan jive, but reproduced every week.

Vito looked hilarious in that get-up but I have concerns about his choreography. He turned Fleur into the supporting act in that routine.

We need to see Will do another flavour.

Hamza's dancing has such good qualities, I wish we could have seen him do a traditional quickstep. I hate the feeling that a dance has been squandered.

Jayde and Karen would have been funnier dressed as Freda and Barry. The choreography failed to make the most of the song's lyrics. Why even introduce the Woman's Weekly if you're not going to actually beat someone on the bottom with it?

The beginning of Ellie T.'s routine was funny but, yet again, Johannes's choreography is just pedestrian.

Nikita, on the other hand, is clearly putting a lot of thought and creativity into his routines.

Didn't love Molly's Couple's Choice but the criticism felt very scripted. When it comes to Couple's Choice the judges' comments feel as random as the dances.

Some of those Sylvia Young children looked aflame with ambition. I was expecting that VT to go a bit All About Eve.

Canthinkofaname79 · 22/10/2022 20:53

I gave all 3 votes to kym because I thought she was good and Shirley was vile to her.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 22/10/2022 20:55

@EsmaCannonball

All About Eve - watched that the other night, lovely stuff!

PrincessScarlett · 22/10/2022 20:56

The worry is that if Jayde is on the dance off against half of the other dancers the judges will save Jayde. I think the only dancers that wouldn't lose to Jayde is Tyler, Hamza and Will. Everyone else is at risk. Which is stupid as Jayde is the worst dancer.

Sara cox looking serious tonight

Who is sitting next to Sara Cox?

Sunbird24 · 22/10/2022 20:59

Gethin Jones?

2Rebecca · 22/10/2022 21:05

Agree Jade was overmarked and she's only in a same s x couple because she's too obese to lift and didn't want to be dragged around the floor. Hamza has shown obese people can move so she shouldn't ld be marked poorly. We voted for Tony Hamza and Helen. Giving people 3 votes online is mad

Canthinkofaname79 · 22/10/2022 21:07

It was a bit but I just felt so cross for her.

PrincessScarlett · 22/10/2022 21:07

Agree that Hamza has proved larger people can definitely dance so that makes Jayde's over marking even more ridiculous 🙄

LifeOfBriony · 22/10/2022 21:07

Sunbird24 · 22/10/2022 20:59

Gethin Jones?

Yes, could be. What about the woman on her right?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 22/10/2022 21:08

Very late to the party.

General Opinions :

Tony was mistreated. He is at least a true amateur and giving it a go.

Shirley was a bitch to Kym

James was boring and I don't know how he stays in

Jayde's exit is long overdue, may a good dancer fall in the Bottom 2 with her.

Fleur was forgettable

Molly was crap

Tyler, Hamza and the 2 Ellie's were all good but

Will was the best on the night.

My votes went to Ellie T, Will and Tony

Maireas · 22/10/2022 21:10

PrincessScarlett · 22/10/2022 21:07

Yes, I agree. It makes no sense at all.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 22/10/2022 21:11

Shame we can't vote for who we want to leave. I would be voting as much as I could for Jayde

So would I, she isn't enjoyable to watch, and is highly irritating in general

keepcalm11 · 22/10/2022 21:13

If Jayde is in he bottom 2 with Kym, James or Tony she will be saved by the judges

Maireas · 22/10/2022 21:14

keepcalm11 · 22/10/2022 21:13

If Jayde is in he bottom 2 with Kym, James or Tony she will be saved by the judges

Unfortunately, yes. I think she would also be saved over both Ellies as well.

keepcalm11 · 22/10/2022 21:16

My favourites were Hamza, Will, Ellie S and Helen . Almost forgot to say Helen as she went first, it's such a disadvantage going first with so many contestants still left in

PrincessScarlett · 22/10/2022 21:18

keepcalm11 · 22/10/2022 21:13

If Jayde is in he bottom 2 with Kym, James or Tony she will be saved by the judges

Also include both Ellie's, Fleur and possibly Helen I think.

woodhill · 22/10/2022 21:22

Jayde is overmarked and very stompy

SoupDragon · 22/10/2022 21:24

I really disliked Helena's dance

LoopyGremlin · 22/10/2022 21:26

Hamza, Will and Tony for my votes. Did like both Ellies though and thought Kim was under marked.

PrincessScarlett · 22/10/2022 21:26

I can imagine that some of the other contestants are very pissed off with the marking. You can tell upstairs with Claudia that there is a lot of support between most of the dancers. I've noticed that Jayde doesn't seem to be present as much on the balcony with Claudia. Unless she's behind Neil!!
