SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Oh dear !
Ellie was so sweet.
She is a legend.

I liked it a lot, and still love the S & G version ( and even the Hear'say version!).
He is also in Nine Perfect Strangers, and been in at least one horror flm that i can think of.
He was on Radio 4 yesterday morning, and did a rendition of one verse of a Welsh song with the briefest encouragement. I don't know the song, but it really suited his voice and was pitch perfect.
(Obviously his upcoming album and films were mentioned....)

Probably fair, but I LOVED Ellie, and Nikita.

I knew the result so kept schtum but I didn't know if it was unanimous or not and I'm really surprised that it was.

Ellie should have stayed imo. Much better at the performance side which makes her so much more enjoyable to watch.

My summary: Ellie is an inspiration, Mollie is forgettable .

Gutted, Elllie is fab

Aww that's a shame I like Ellie and Nakitta he's really shown his personality this year.

Disappointed with that, I liked Ellie and her partnership with Nikita.

Oooh noooooo! I much preferred Ellie's dance!

That’s not fair - I’m not happy!

If anyone hasn't seen Ellie's documentary please do watch. She is a great presenter and it is very eye opening.

That’s a real shame.

Oh god they are making me cry

Fucksake Nikita. I don't need to be crying right now.

I will do. Didn't know she had done a documentary

That was nice from Nikita.

Agree.

I bet Mollie feels crap. Nobody would want to be the one to beat her in the dance off. She’s so fab.

I remember seaside special

Ikwym

She is a great commentator. I like her a lot

Agree and I wasn't an Ellie S voter

Stupidity in the scoring has caused this.

LoveMyPiano he sang Calon Lan.

Ellie seems such a lovely woman. She could teach us all so much

Contestants like Molly rarely win over the public as they have too much recent dance experience. Shes barely out of stage school and hasn't the common sense not to remind everyone of that in her VTs. It's nothing to do with her age or gender.

Personally I like the non entertainer types as I think it's harder for them to lose their inhibitions on the stage and it's a bigger leap.
Bonus points if they aren't from a privileged background.
