SPOILER-FREE THREAD

That will have really pissed Katya off if true 🤣

i Thought they were being weird. They knew full well

Tony's done a good job of putting some light relief and joy into the series.

Fair time to go though.

I hope Tyler ups his game because he's got good potential if he sorts his technique.

I imagine he could have managed a Rumba if he’d got through, the menz never seem to have as much to do as the ladiez in that

I shall miss Tony and Katya. It won't be as much fun now.

And thus endeth the John Sergeant Memorial Panic for 2022. I can't believe I fell for it this year.

I knew it always ends this way, with the GBP saying "what? You mean me voting for the joke act might mean someone good going home? Screw that!".

I knew that these armies of loyal boy band fans/football fans/Eastenders fans/cross-border OAPs are always fictional, and yet I genuinely was worried that Tony would go all the way. Bless him and Katya for fulfilling their roles to perfection.

I wonder if he'll do the tour. That samba and quickstep will go down a storm.

Ooh hope it’s not that! Katya will be miffed ...

I wonder if they would have withdrawn if not in the bottom 2?

I'm going, hamza, fleur and will for the final

Hamza to win.

I believe he may have a contract as a football pundit in Qatar that he needs to start this week. 🙄

Isn't the practice of leaving strictly to pursue other engagements, known as pulling a John Sargeant?

Think I might be with you in that prediction although I want Will to win in that scenario

So true @EvilRingahBitch lol!

No wonder shirley and Anton told Tyler he'd be just fine ! Bit odd

Inspired!

Next week will be interesting.

Shame to see Tone go though.

I’m. going for exceptional human being as my new insult now. It is like the polite version of cahnt for when you are in company. 😉

I've really warmed to Helen, she's trying so hard. it's Hamza for me though, he's a joy to watch.

Can we have a different weapon each week? Just for a bit of variety? A crossbow, a Kalashnikov, a spud gun, a trebuchet full of sequins etc?

That's ridiculous. There was absolutely no risk whatsoever that he'd have been saved over Tyler. And whatever else you can say about his dancing, nobody ever denied he was a grafter. I don't believe for a minute he'd suddenly say "actually I can't be arsed to dance, I'm knackered".

I can believe that he was genuinely injured but it was borderline, and he decided it wasn't worth the risk of exacerbating it for a foregone conclusion, but I can't believe he threw in the towel for the hell of it.

I hope Tony gets to do the tour.

I'm concerned it's going to be a bit dull going forward. Hamza is great but the rest are a bit meh.

Better and better!

😂😂😂😂😂

The Conga Games?!

Agree. Tony would never throw in the towel for no reason as he's a competitive bloke.

weapons?

Stinger strips unfurled during barefoot contempowafts.

I win. 😁

"Can we have a different weapon each week? Just for a bit of variety? A crossbow, a Kalashnikov, a spud gun, a trebuchet full of sequins etc?"

I'm loving this idea. And then afterwards Shirley goes "I agree with my fellow judges, I'd have chosen the spud gun too."

I like this idea. It's one way of upping the calibre of celebrities.

Daniel Day-Lewis: I know you have retired from acting but no-one can retire from Strictly. Please report to the PureGym in Barnet where a woman called Dianne Buswell is waiting to teach you a cha cha set in a beautiful laundrette. The alternative is death.

I could go for this.
