Strictly '22 #10 — Can we have ballroom dancing theme week please?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Previous thread

A nice shiny new thread for a non-theme week week! Let's hope there are no invasions of haunted bees onto this one...

SPOILER-FREE THREAD

2 for Ellie T and 1 for Fleur. If Ellie T is in the dance off she'll be gone. Too many points difference between her and the others.
This is assuming Tony will not be in the dance off due to having a massive football fan base.

Tony definitely missed some steps and got some steps wrong.

As far as I could tell, Ellie T did all the steps correctly and got them right - wasn't one comment "immaculate footwork"?

So how come Craig gave her a 3 and Tony a 4? He's supposed to be an objective judge.

And why don't they give Tony constructive criticism? I can see the point if everything is bad and it would take too long, but that can't be the case when he's being marked higher than someone else who did get criticisms?

Ellie S got 10 votes from our house

Katya on ITT with Tony does seem a lot more exasperated/short with him, than with her previous partners. I still preferred their routine to many of the rest tonight. I think it will be Ellie T vs Tyler, unless Arsenal fans are all at the fireworks.

2 for Fleur and 1 for Helen.

Katya and Tony were having a domestic at the end. I think he's gone as far as he could.

Didn't vote for Ellie T, but I don't particularly want her to go out just yet.

No idea who will be in the dance off but I don't think it will be Hamza or Helen.

Absolutely love Tony.

My DS mad Arsenal fan and bought him a message from Tony on cameo i think for his birthday.
He was so so lovely-very personal message-made such an effort and had such a nice way about him-came across as such a lovely man

Voted both Ellie’s and hasma
really annoyed that Craig gave Ellie t a 3 and tony who admitted was on the wrong foot a 4
loved kyms dance

Stop with the childish remarks about Neil and think how he might feel reading them. What has he actually done wrong? He doesn't turn up uninvited but stands where he's told and wears what they tell him. It isn't funny but it is bullying.

Pit Bull! Thank you

It ought to be Tony versus Tyler with Tony to go, but it could be Ellie T versus Fleur.

definitely checking the spoiler tonight.

I don't mind Neil to be honest
His shirt was loud, but it is a loud show !
I hope Fleur isn't in the DO

Tony might be in trouble tho
I like him and his partner

Seann was a dud too. He just generated her a lot of publicity (for all the wrong reasons). I think because she won with Joe McFadden she’s been given duds ever since. They did the same with Aliona vilani.

Neil is Neil he is lively, I think he should be left alone he’s not doing anyone any harm...

I think Katya’s done her penance for the Seann thing now, hope she gets a good partner next year

30 mins behind so just finished watching. Loved Helen and Kym but reckon they are safe so might vote Ellie S and Fleur.

Hello, Kym. Welcome to the competition. That was really her dance. The evil Pat Phoenix vibe suited her.

I'm worried for AJ Pritchard. Shirley's using his shoes, Gorka's wearing his jacket. Bet the pair of them have serial killer-ed him and are using his credit cards.

Molly's dance-face is very 1980's Price Is Right hostess unveiling the teasmade you could win.

Appreciated the simple choreography, appreciated Vito taking over Aljaz's mantle of wearing snugly-fitting white trousers, but what the bloody hell did they do to I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues?

I'm starting to fancy Nikita, especially when he's styled all old Hollywood. But I'm just about younger than Leonardo DiCaprio SO IT'S FINE. FINE, OK?

Bless Ellie T, but she's more stately than Queen Mary.

Is the new quickstep rule, it only has to be in hold for about 10 seconds? Justice for Debbie McGee!

All my votes to Ellie T. Her marks were ridiculously unfair. I don't want her to go yet but I'm guessing she will unless a lot of people protest against the unfairness and vote for her in big numbers.

I stood up and applauded after that AT. Here on my own in my flat. 😄

Never been moved to do that before or since.

I would really struggle to do that and not be self conscious, but then I do have rather big flaps.

Do you think the judges are trying a bit of reverse psychology?

Mark her down, enrage the audience and get her tons of votes?

Like they did the other way round to get rid of Jayde?

All my votes went to Ellie T also.

You're right, I'm guilty of poking fun at Neil so apologies 😯
